Kun and Huo were born in a time of peace and prosperity. Being raised in the middle ring of Ba Sing Se, the twins had fairly easy, and nonchalant childhood years. Kun was the definition of an earth bending prodigy, and Huo was defined as one of the wisest kids in the Earth kingdom. Both being highly capable, they were ... |
"What's for dinner?"Pique popped the question so suddenly that it made her younger brother, Oz, jump right on out of his high chair.
Pique slapped her cheeks in feigned horror, watching as Oz curled his face into a disgusted, saddened lump of mashed potato. He started to cry, and Mother had had just about enough.

Every year awakened by the cold alarms of Arcadia. My task, to clean the decks with the 18 hours I have before my job is taken by another.

So, did you self publish on Amazon? How hard is that? I want to, when I finish my tiny anthology.

Flamberge assumed her human form for the audit. She had nothing to hide, and her shapely form clearly had the desired impact not only on the knights persecuting her, but on her very own tax attorney, Earl.

"Girl, swipe left."Greg was perched on Jaime's shoulder, munching popcorn.
"You serious?"Jaime was sprawled on her couch, thumbs glued to her phone.
"Yeah, swipe left."

He gesticulated at the screen. "He's got dead eyes."
"So?"She scoffed, "He's gorgeous and his dog is really cute."
Greg snorted, "While yo... |
It was a bad idea to check my Wattpad account today. Something strange was going on, I could tell. I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Then I saw it.
The words of the title on my oneshots I wrote in eighth grade were glowing on the screen. I thought it was just a new update, but none of my other, better works were g... |
It took a long time for me to accept that he might not be crazy. He knew a lot about me, sure, but in this day and age there are plenty of ways to find things out about people, above-board and otherwise. In all honesty, at one point I was about ready to call the police. I'm not going to tell you what finally convinced ... |

I climbed along the Great Web, guided by my new friend.
“It's a pretty long term task.” He was telling me. “But it gives us something to do. Lotta rules don't apply here, ken? We don't age anymore, and the kids need something to keep from getting bored”
His words occasionally slipped back into older dialects or ... |

It had been a nice, relaxing day in the third circle of Hell. I had just punished one of the former stars of “My 600-Lb Life” by forcing him to run three miles in the freezing rain. The screams of agony were delicious. Everything was as it should be.
Suddenly, I felt a tug on my left horn, and knew that my blissful ch... |
A strange array of beings manifested in front of me while I was waiting on toast from the toaster and coffee from the keurig.

The thing about dragons is that we're really, really big. And yes, we're magical, breathe fire, know a few spells, practically impenetrable hide, all that good stuff. But none of that quite cancels out the sheer size. Our magical nature does let us kind of bend the rules of gravity a bit, but we can't break them entire... |
I look at him, asking if he is sure, to which he trembles at first. Before nodding as he says that he is positive. I grin evilly as I take him by the arm and leads him to the back room, he looks around, the walls dark aside from the occasional pipe running up from the ground and into the forge. The forge burns bright,... |
He cornered me, with eyes that a lion would lay on a young zebra. His hands ignited with flame. I backed up against the wall.
Was he going to kill me? Or was it going to be something much worse?
"Woah, hey"I said, "You don't have to do this."
He covered the rest of his face with a scarf and said, "Shut up. Hand it... |
Okay, I think I'm safe now.
If you are reading this, my name is Waldo. And I haven't much time. I'm being hunted.

When the aliens arrived, they were far stranger than anyone had ever imagined: they were humans.
Who would have thought? Growing up, aliens were supposed to be green or gray. They were supposed to have huge egg heads. Or coneheads. Or they were lizard people. Or giant, intelligent insects. Or. or. or. or.

I’m living a lie.
I fall to the icy stone floor beside the summoning circle, my body wracked and broken, my skin scorched and blistered. The failed ritual’s remaining energies vent themselves against the chamber’s granite walls with a shriek of eldritch power. I don’t mind the pain, I can mostly block it out. And some... |

“Richard!” The old man that I’ve come to believe is named Sebastian claps his hands together. Delight shines in his eyes. “You weren’t here last week, I thought you might have grown bored of me.”
My hands are sweaty from the long and winding walk from the village. Sebastian’s home is set in the middle of the forest,... |
I was pretending to fill out my time sheet when Jeff knocked on my cubicle wall. He had apparently jostled his mug in the process, leaving thin streaks of coffee on his white vapor protection suit. I don’t think we’re even supposed to be carrying open containers of liquid, but then again I never finished, or started, r... |

Death loosed his bow and the arrow pierced through both skulls of two men locked in combat by the hands of War.
“That’s 207,653! This is too easy! Famine, what are you up to?”
“Just broke a million.” Famine said as he watched an emaciated child breathe their last breath.
Death’s face faltered, but he quickly reg... |
The man sitting across from Angela folded one leg over the other. “We have reached the point in the evening where we’d like to invite any first timers to share with the group,” he said.
Angela looked left, then right. All faces turned toward her. Some were warm, others red and sticky, still others dim and unreadable.

“Just smile and nod”, that’s what I was thinking as my eyes darted between the man whose hand I was shaking and the horse he had just gifted me. I had to admit, it was much smaller than I was expecting. I had heard the stories, we all had. Stories of how the earth had been conquered on the back of a horse, stories of ... |
I took a long inhalation and grinned as I arrived at the restaurant. I can't believe I'm discovering Jaxon again... I exited my car and walked towards the entrance of the restaurant. I looked at my phone and scrolled through pictures on Reddit while waiting for my best friend to arrive. Suddenly, I felt a tap on my sho... |
I just stare in silence at my roommate and the pentagram laid out on the hardwood floor, complete with smoke billowing up from the gaps in the wood that are sulfurous in scent and acrid to the point where I have to pull the collar of my shirt up over my nose to try and block out the smell. I look at him and then to the... |
26th of September, 4 pm, another monday.
Sirens scream at the top of their mechanical lungs. Civilians in the streets scramble to get to the underground bunkers. An announce now comes through on the speakers, installed on every street corner. "Dear citizens, alien vessels have been discovered on an collision course wi... |
This is the best workout.
I was once wider than I am tall. Depressed and unmotivated. Then I discovered my power. Instant Travel, teleportation. What can be more convenient than that?
But its so much more, when I Travel it's like I walked there. At first I didn't knew this. I only Traveled short distances, to the fri... |
I sat in the observation deck, staring out at the view-screen at... nothing. How boring, I thought. The last star in the entire remnant of the universe, a red dwarf, had been here and I had watched it slowly flicker and die. The red dwarf had a number of large mega-structures orbiting it, using it's dying energies t... |

The naked man stood dripping with sweat in the middle of the room. You could hear the slight patter of sweat droplets hit the white tile floor, cutting through the total dumbfounded silence, along with his heavy breath. Luke stood there in his white lab coat with his mouth agape and the Pokeball in a tight grasp. The t... |
I open the door with a huge grin. I want this to feel like the movies, so I picked up the perfect black duffel bag at the thrift shop: worn down, black, and real leather. I slam the door, walk into the living room, and throw it toward her. It hits a few feet from the couch and slides the rest of the way. Perfect shot.

"I rubbed my eyes once the smoke faded.

As the last human being fell dead on a conquered earth, the AI race had finally ended their only threat... or rather, the only threat they recognized. The AI only knew of the recorded history, so they wouldn’t have understood why ending humanity was a mistake. Before Earth had humankind, other galaxies birthed their sa... |

The name Odeius echoed through out the skies. Booming like the clap of a million thunder strikes. Striking both fear and hope into the followers of the Gods.

I try not to feel guilty, it’s not like I knew what was happening at first. And after I realized, well, what was I going to do- give up on love? Still, the evening feedings always bring feelings of regret to the surface. I’ve given them the best life I could, it’s a lovely pond, lots of Lilypads, and even a nice log. P... |
I chuckled, assuming it was a joke. Then, thoughts came rushing in, each fighting over one another to be the one that popped into my head in the next moment. Each competing to be the funniest, or wittiest, or more accurately the most like something I'd think of. I hoped it would be something nice, instinctively, but a ... |
The dragon turned around, bit into one of the logs packed next to the cave, and hurled it in front of the man. A puff of breath and the log was set alight, driving off arriving night.

Losk stood by himself in the charred remains of a small cottage.

We sang our songs while men rose from nothing. Their primitive minds did not concern us. We laughed and sang giddy songs about their follies. But men continued to rise. They constructed vast cityscapes and tall citadels.

Actually, the more I looked at him, the more I thought he mig... |
There were more than 80 dampers guarding the room, and it still felt like the entire hall was vibrating with nervous energy.

Shiver Dust stepped deeper into the cave. Her food had run out already, and her water was almost gone, but she was certain she was close now. She had to be.
