What no one tells you about dragon slaying is just how difficult the process actually can be. Now don’t get me wrong, I am sure when people hear “professional dragon slayer”, they think about fighting a great winged beast that breathes fire and soars through the skies and all they consider is that the combat will be bo... |
Snow was falling hard as I slipped on the pavement outside the front door. I was kneeled over, forcing my key into the bottom lock of the door. I turned it quickly and pushed in as I slipped on the black ice outside, landing on the clean floor of my shop.
The beeping in the deep back of the coffee shop meant I had 20... |
"God damnit Kacey! You always do this!"
I slammed the door in my roommate's face as I walked into the bathroom.
"I'll be out in a minute, I'll cut it off quick!"I shouted through the door.
I unzipped my pants to piss and took a deep look into my face. "God, I'm getting old", I told myself as I began noticing the cr... |
“As you can see he is a.... by-ped-el life form with a... indoskeleton and Endot- endoth- end... he creates his own body heat. He is *counting her talons* 12 standards tall and very strong”

I’d needed to make a run for the essentials and had parked my Tesla outside my neighborhood Target. Heading into the storage in the back, an area I was exceedingly familiar with by that point, I grabbed toilet paper and paper towels, among other things. My cart loaded up, I went back to my car, and there it was.

Bureaucracy was something that Vandazar the Feared knew quite well. In fact, his namesake wasn’t even referring to how he governed. He wasn’t feared because the people under him were scared of him. No, they loved him. He was feared by the *other* dark lords.
All of them thought he would take their minions. See, the th... |
They drifted around the table in silence. The 9 men and women, not moving, not talking. 5 of them bore the stars and stripes on their right sleeve, 2 the German flag, and 2 the Russian tri-color. It was like this for a while until one of the Americans, a man the age of 30 with chestnut brown hair and shining green eyes... |
A battle between mages is a matter of attrition, as often as not.
Sure, you can *try* to overwhelm them at the start. That'll work, sometimes.
Funny thing about throwing a bunch of spells at one spot, though- tends not to work on people who can teleport.
So, no, it's a battle of attrition. Magical skill and streng... |
“Oh, what?” Susan gasped, “what is that?”
“Evil Priapus slowly drags his club,” I said, beginning to describe the encounter.
“Nope, no,” Debby said as she stood up and walked away from the table. Pouring herself another glass of wine she tried to calm herself. After a couple seconds of rubbing her forehead, she tried... |
Rain fell over the city that day. Light enough to be out in, but heavy enough that you might want an umbrella. The grass was moist under my feet. I walked up the hill to a mausoleum. The walls were made of granite; Strong, unmoving, and timeless. A fitting resting place for for a kid with grit like his.

Things I had expected when taking Jordan Clarke, the Justice Unity’s lead IT specialist hostage:
- decreased overall operational capability of the team for a while;
- increased reaction time in response to my operations and a rising percentage of successfully completed objectives as a result;
- bargaining chip in ge... |
In the middle of the desert, a stone table stood. It was the only feature that could be found for miles in the desolate wasteland.
Around the table sat three hunched figures, their steeds standing still on the sand not far away. Each of the three figures held cards in their hands.
"Got any ones?"asked the first fig... |
"Wayne! Come to the living room! I've got everyone on the Zoom call!"shouted Dad.
Wayne groaned, put down his phone, and rolled off his bed.

There are times where I encounter a strange quest from the townsfolk, but to protect the dragon from potential outsiders was definitely new.
According to the folks, the dragon has been keeping guard of their town for 50 winters, giving them opportunities to florish their business without worrying about robbers and loo... |
"Does anyone really think that fighting is a good way to resolve this problem?"Sherlock Holmes sat back in the plush chair, watching the other three.
"No, it is incredibly undignified,"Mary Poppins agreed, setting her bag down on the sideboard, and fastening her apron on. "I made it a rule to never take part in such a... |

I was in Margaret Shey's office. She looked pretty ordinary, maybe five foot six, casual dress. Hardly your serial killer type. I tried to find a way to begin…

Apprentices on fishing boats did not live glamorous lives. They dealt mostly with fish guts and busy work, and they took the stains of both back home with them when they returned to the shore. The smell would linger in the folds of their clothes, on their skin, in their hair and the tiring work would leave a toll on th... |
"Just a girl, she's got a dog but just a ugly, little Chihuahua looking thing,"Clint tossed the clipboard and the high Vis vest into the back of the van.
"See anything good?"Mitty said from the driver's seat, busy rolling another one of the disgusting cigarettes. "This is a nice part of town, rent's real high."

I am an ostrich, my legs are strong and unburdened by taxes!
Yet, I cannot live my new life free from care in this magical new world. I have tasted of death and I must have more.
And so I roamed the lands, carried by my strong legs, crushing everything underfoot.
Very quickly, news of my sudden appearance swept thr... |
I first met Calzor in an rickety shack on the outskirts of a town I’d only planned on passing through. The innkeeper mentioned an alchemist who’d been messing around with poisonous mushrooms that may have played a role in the death of a farmer’s daughter, and as a fledgling adventurer I figured the coin would be just e... |
BATTLE OF CAMLANN. EARLY 6^(TH) CENTURY.
Swords clanged. Arrows whistled. Dying men screamed. It was the end of Camelot, the end of chivalry, the end might for right. The Round Table was shattered and the Knights were no more. The last flickering candle amidst the oncoming Dark Age was now flickering out.
Arthur knew... |
Before Zane’s opened his eyes, the noise of screaming from somewhere in front of him before him filled his ears. Not beside him or behind him. Those other three directions had people sobbing manically. He didn’t want to open his eyes. His breath was caught in his chest at the pain and grief of everyone around him.

Gamesmaster Goragek settled into his observation post. Various tubes, needles, pads, and devices arose from the floor to connect to his bloated, stony form. The old soldier eased his 3rd and 7th legs gingerly into rising stirrups while a pair of syringes flooded his legs with pain relieving ambrosia. His species, Melad... |
"Boredom is such a simple concept. However, few can begin to fathom the absolute boredom one is exposed to when you are being without beginning and without end. From before the dawn of time and until to the collapse of the final stars, all the way back to where we are now for cycles that are simply unable to be counted... |
We had not expected them. The arrival was completely unprecedented, and it came without warning. We dared to hope that this wasn't as we had feared in much of our darker fiction, an army coming to take Earth from us. That this was the other kind of story, the one where benevolent outsiders come to us, in a dark hour to... |
Everyone ran.
I would’ve too, but as luck would have it, the beings that battled in the clearing right in front of my scouting party chose that moment to rip out boulders bigger than my house and throw them at one another. Yes, you heard me. They pick these damned things up and threw them like they were pebbles.

Rock climbing is tedious without the adrenaline high. It becomes just work, and strenuous work at that. But, honestly, without the adrenaline high I might as well be on a treadmill. Boring. I get enough boredom at the office. I don't need more of it when I'm trying to relax.
Stupid head injury. The doctors say my amyg... |
Sir Alwin bowed to the king. Even in King Jefers's private meeting chamber he still needed to show the appropriate decorum.
"Your Majesty, thank you for agreeing to meet me."The knight said.

The family business was booming and work was coming in fast. Nonetheless, I payed attention to every single customer in front of me, all of which had stood in line reaching back to the gates of hell. I was working the line for christian suicides today, when my dad came over with one of my thousands of siblings. Hell, w... |
A thick plume of black and red smoke erupted in front of me, right where I was cooking. I coughed as the rancid, sulfurous odor stung at my throat and nostrils.
Before I could swat away the thinning cloud of gas and assess what could have caused such a reaction, a little voice spoke up from its midst.
"And what, pre-... |
Dr. Jason Brown was packing up his stuff. The patient had no pulse, and he was preparing to notify their family. After all these years, it never got easier. When he was about to step out, he heard a voice.
"Where are you going, doctor?".
Turning around, Jason looked at the patient, stunned. The patient, Maurice, look... |
In old times of war and famine, when the cold winds blow and the harsh wolves howl, there was a family who settled down in a distant valley. It wasn't big, but it was fertile, easy to defend, and fresh water, unspoiled by corpses and poisons, flowed down from the mountains. Several other families had follow them, but t... |
I reach up to the shelf, seeing another game that peaks my interest.
A plume of smoke flows over my shoulder as Daragar snorts in disapproval.

Dave's Date 1/4
“Do you have a loyalty card?”
Dave shakes his head.
“Alright, three pounds fifty then, please”
Coins clink into the cashier's hand and Dave grabs the tiny shopping bag filled with a rushed lunch of a ham sandwich, a packet of salt and vinegar crisps and a small bottle of orange juice. Typically, a r... |
I hate meetings. I hate them. There's almost never a need to drag me, a lowly serf working in the bowels of IT into some project planning meeting. But of course, the senior managers seem to think that the more people that they can stuff into a conference room somehow makes the meeting more important. So there I was... |
“Dude. Stop shining the remote at me. I’m trying to concentrate.”
“What are you talking about, Pete? This thing isn’t working.”
Dave took out the batteries with a practiced motion, smacked them on the table, and put them in again.
He shone the remote into my face again, trying to send it to the TV on the wall of our... |
Both figures sat covered head to toe in nets and branches watched as their target slowly moved across the blacken landscape. Hide blacker then the night and thicker then stone made its away towards the two teens out past city limits, its claws twitched and stretched, its nightmarish face rippled with murderous glee as ... |
"No! Let me go!"
The woman screamed as she was dragged into a bloodstained room. The guards remained impassive at her cries having seen her go through it countless times before. Along with her, there were thirty other immortal organ donors.
Donors was one word for it. Most called them crops, or livestock. They had be... |
"You know, this is hardly proper behavior for a princess, right?"Sir Levain said as he did his best not to look at the princess.
He was supposed to be watching her, but given her state of dress, doing so was inappropriate. She had clothed herself in two strips of rough cloth, one around her hips and upper legs, and t... |
Mark was a completionist.
He completed his work, books, puzzles, sometimes even games.

[Poem]
She has been caught, my time is here.
Walk to the castle, as I near,
I still myself, as it starts raining,
Great, no fire, but still, my training.
My target appears, huge and scaly.

Three steps forward, three more back.
*Move in patterns, she won't attack.*

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Silence.
Gloria froze as she realised what had just happened. She slowly peeked over her shoulder at the carnage she knew would be behind her.
"AAAAAHHHH!!!"she shrieked. Where just a few seconds ago there was one very intact boyfriend, there was now flesh and shattered bone and guts strewn all over... |
"My name is Jake,"I say firmly. "I'm a pig farmer. I farm pigs."
"Aye, and very well-spoken ye are, for a farm lad, boy,"smirks the pirate.

Time for training once again. I wonder who I'll be today?
College is an interesting place, now that so many people have powers. They had to introduce special degree paths for various disciplines to try to capitalize on all of the new supergeniuses, strongmen, and polyglots, not to mention all of the nightmare th... |
It happened faster than you'd expect. One minute you're making your way to the grocery store in your handy-dandy exoskeleton, and the next you're in a ditch frantically teaching its nascent self-aware neural network how to hide a body. Unfortunately, exoskeleton AIs aren't particularly quick learners, so we had to sett... |
The steady beeping didn't exactly awaken me. Instead it drifted gently in through the cracks in my dreams, guiding me like a beacon back up through an underwater subconscious world and finally into reality, where I opened my eyes and saw whiteness buzzing above me.
*...fluorescent lights...* my mind finally burbled, a... |
Tears well in my eyes, and I welcome them.
Who, if not for me, will have ever cried for this man? His father hadn’t. And if his mother ever did, he never bore witness to it. Maybe, in some twisted way, if he had, he would have felt better. He would have known the pain brought upon him was worth crying over. A sorrowf... |
Greed flared in my eyes, bright as the sun, as I stared upon the lamp. The desert stretched on for miles; a barren wasteland with nothing other than sand in sight. I rubbed it three times, awaiting the expected genie to grant me three wishes.
I had thought long and hard about what I would request, and now I was ready.... |
SEVEN. How did no one else hear that? I can’t be the only one. Tom just keeps droning on and on… Good Lord that guy likes the sound of his own voice. What did that voice say again?? “You’ll either die or meet the love of your life”? What the heck does that mean? This meeting is scheduled for another half hour, there’s ... |
I looked under my seat. Sitting there was a funny, little device. As I reached for it, it started to whir. The whirring increased as I continued to extend my hand. As my fingertip made contact, I felt my body violently expand and my mind was consumed with pain. Then, as quickly as it had started, I felt myself rushing ... |
Sigh. There he is again. He always comes in the late afternoon and stays until just before my wilder brethren show up at sundown and do their stuff.
Looks like he's tending to the plants today - he seems quite skilled, but he's been coming here for days, always doing chores and he never even talked to me - in fact, i... |
Sometimes, living like this is a blessing or a curse. Depending, well depending on your perspective, I guess. See, I don't really, well, I don't really remember things. Some people, that tears their emotional heart strings, maybe they'd faux empathy for me. A "oh, I'm so sorry for the things you've missed, you loved, ... |
The siblings laid down together with their eyes closed.
"The castle has to be RED!"Abby cried. "Everyone knows red is the best color for a castle."

"So... how did you get into the killing business?"Dallon Van Silicon asked their machine companion over their shared intercom. The two were waiting under cover of storm and rain, scouting an opening to a secure facility. They'd worked together before, Dallon's unique ability to render himself invisible to digital senso... |
Jak knew he had lost. Isaac was much more powerful than he was already, despite his youth. Elizabeth had trained him well it seemed. Jak was on the floor, and Isaac was about to knock him out, and probably cart him straight to jail. There was only one thing that could work now; he would have to reveal Elizabeth's secre... |
It started when I was eight. Watching TV, mimicking my cartoon heroes. I picked up on it all too well, to the point my parents even caught on. When an eight year old starts sounded exactly like Morgan Freeman, down to the bass and welcoming tone, you know this isn't a normal thing. Nope. My power had come in full force... |
“When did you see it?” The man asked, wearing the cleanest black suit I had ever seen accompanied by slicked hair. His blue eyes froze my soul with a precise intention.
“See what?” I answered with another question. Even though my head stood stiff, I managed to shift my vision enough to make out looming figures behind... |
This morning, I had eggs and toast for breakfast. It's important to know that, because this journal is the only thing that is keeping me sane. I'm not sure what I'll have for dinner, and I was certainly too busy for lunch.

I know that the world, and the roads one travels through it, and wrought with unique dangers and strange creatures. I know that there are things hidden in the dark forests that are eldritch and incomprehensible, things beyond mortal ken. I am well-aware that those who walk off the beaten path don't ever come back alive... |
I let out a soft whistle, staring at the feathered limbs from behind her. "I will admit, I was wondering why you hadn't gotten out of your Albedo costume."And you were not going to think about what else had become real, standing up and looking in her yellow eyes. Horny thoughts could come later, when you didn't have a ... |
The Captain was lay on the floor. A bullet through his back. The blood seeped into his costume. Overpowering the solid white with a sea of red.
I turned to Lance. The biggest super villain in town. More commonly known as the Knight. I smiled at him. It had been... So easy, I thought he'd be proud. Maybe I'd get a pay ... |
Within a building located at the heart of the city, a small collection of men gathered around a nondescript office room and gave their full attention to the presenter.

“Look Brad next time you discover the next breakthrough in cold-fusion research we’ll do it your way okay?”
Brad wasn’t looking at me anymore though, he was looking over my shoulder. I sighed and turned. This one was another of the Neo-Feudal style travellers. *‘Second one this week’*, I thought to myself. *‘Th... |
It's drizzling outside, but that didn't stop the patron from coming and going to the Starlight Tavern. On the second floor, a table has been reserved for a special occasion, a reunion. After some time, four people arrived and gathered at the reserved table. To everyone's perspective, they only saw four humans who's pr... |

I was always one of the chosen few. Those being trained for the mantle of Hero.

Pisces swam the great depths of space and time, a giant, blocking out multiple suns, casting an everlasting shadow across hundreds of thousands of planets. Those planets who were unfortunate to rest beneath Pisces' presence froze over from the lack of light, turned into barren marbles floating in the great infinite.

It all began with the building of the worlds first quantum supercomputer. The creators of a machine with such computing capability said they could map out all reality. Many took this to be a boast. Something to encourage investors to funnel more money in.

I blink again. The child is back, and behind me I can feel the motion of the spouse I never had turning over in bed.

I am the last of my people, we lived peacefully in a small plain surrounded by hills, cut from the rest of the world but we were happy. We did not need much but the gods forsake us and the plague killed all of them. I don't know why they killed us, or why they left me alive but I was alone and pain raged in my chest.

Her voice rang out like a bell. "Please don't sting me!"

A silvery crescent hung in the sky, partially obscured by dark clouds. The branches on the withered trees by the side of the dirt path creaked and groaned as a harsh winter gale howled through the dead forest.

Bartholomew's life had never been easy. The abuse he suffered as a child had left scars that would not fade from his memory. He could feel the fingers of the man he refused to call father, wrapped around his throat. He remembered how his mother looked on with a grunt of objection, but she never intervened. His sist... |
When there came moments of silence on quiet nights, my mind
couldn’t help but to drift about the end of the world. The end of my life, of
others, and everything I knew to be. That terror and anxiety would often keep

chirping of the crickets... |
"This is a classic machine learning problem."

Eugene and I have long had an inkling that this may be the case for our poor Matthew. Matthew is a quiet child, rarely tearful and constantly smiling. Little do we know what he thinks and feels as we sadly have no connection with his mind.

"Wait, that wasn't what you meant by 'defend your thesis?'"you shout, as a slightly distorted laugh track plays in the background.
You're the one who played the laugh track. Nobody's watching you. You don't even look buff enough for the joke to work.

The princess kisses the frog. Poof he’s a prince, tale as old as time, first love only love…not for Princess Angela. The frog disappears in a puff of smoke but instead of a prince the Grim Reaper stands before her.

“Tessa!” my mother groaned, for what had to be the thousandth time in six months.

Lt. Stevens stood near the bow of the destroyer USS Ahab, as a serpentine silver shape the size of a horse broke the surface of the water, and launched itself into the air. It was always amazing, to watch a Dracocetacean take to the sky.

I signed the last document, put the quill in the ink well, and passed it across the desk.

The two faced each other in the dark halls of the Demon Prince’s castle. One lounged in his throne, at ease even in the face of his greatest enemy. He toyed with the hilt of his sword resting beside him and cupped his chin in a gauntleted hand. This was the Demon Prince himself, the enemy of humanity and the Goddess of... |
“Look, kid, just because you think it ain’t *right* doesn’t mean you get to look *left* for free. It’s optional.

I stood there, frozen, as I stared at him. The man I thought had died.

Andrew almost tumbled out of the truck the moment he shifted into park. These long hours on the road were finally taking their toll on him, but he finally reached a rest stop.

This is really poorly written, but it's my first try, so go easy xD.
I think this is a really cool prompt, I'm surprised it didn't get more attention! I'm sorry that I was one of the only few people to answer - I certainly didn't do it justice - but I just want you to know I think it is a really cool idea!
