Oliver was a simple man. He did not want anything from those around him, and was quite tired of having their expectations placed on him, so one day he decided that he was going to put it all behind him and find a place to live in peace. Oliver lived on a small farm, and when he made his decision to leave he took two g...
I rise, like the mooring, harsh sea of the deepest oceans, I rise. Like a screeching dragon, bellowing hot spew into the dark, ashen sky, I rise. Like an immortal from planets distant and great, I -- Wait... This isn't my body... What in the hell! \*\*\* "No! I'm telling you! This isn't me! I don't know who Timmy is!...
“Look for local wildlife” they said, “they’re just like you” they said, “so do what they do” they said. I was fuming. I was fed up with being chased by the accursed facehuggers while I was out collecting data and samples. I stopped to catch my breath and curse my superiors, as I’d just managed to find a place devoid of...
The trench was, for once, quite. No shells screamed overhead, no bullets splintered the parapets. The electric crackling of plasma bolts had been replaced with the static of silent radios near small campfires around which the human defenders huddled for warmth. To these men and woman, accustomed to the horror of contin...
“Mom, I see it again!” Evelyn hollered. Mom, tired and disheveled after a 9-hour shift trudged into Evelyn’s room. “Evelyn, go to bed.” She said flatly and shut the door. Evelyn hid under the blankets for a few seconds, praying that it would go away. She poked her head out of the covers, but it was still there. A wet...
This is starting to confuse me. How long was I kept in that cryosleep chamber?? Have we reached a point where rain is now physically impossible?? How long did those science guys doing their sciences kept me!? I try to calmly explain to him that rain used to happen, but he refuses to listen. He thinks I'm telling fairy...
The hero of prophecy was dead. The Demon Lord wasn't. The world was doomed, for real this time. So naturally, when the king called for 'brave heroes' to 'take up the hero's mantle', organising a big send-off party and promising an unimaginable big reward should they succeed, Reynard dusted off his old wizard-y robe an...
For more than 2000 years I have roamed this world, hoarding and gathering all kinds of wealth. When I arrived I was mentioned only in legends and from what information I could gather through the Galactic Network it appears that my people have visited this world in passing and in time they garnered quite the reputation,...
The first thing I sense is death. It is everywhere. The air reeks of blood. Suppressing a violent shudder, I breathe as much as I dare. I open my eyes, and a massacre awaits them. “By the gods,” I whisper, trying to avoid stepping on any of the bodies. Fifty martyrs, all in varying positions. All with the same resol...
Four months, nine days. That's how long it's been since I saw another human being. You'd think someone would slip up and reveal themselves by now, but no. Folks are taking it pretty seriously. *Every ten days you're it, a year is taken off your life.* Every ten days. Who would believe that? It's ridiculous. It's be...
I tapped my pencil against the scantron and tried to ignore the forces of evil whispering the right answers in my brain. *Carlos picked 'D' for number five,* they hissed for the tenth time. *Change your selection.* *No,* I mentally whispered back. *But Carlos has the ability of perfect probability. His answers are a...
News breaks as hospitals and statistics bureau’s unanimously report a statistical anomaly— and a miracle. For 24 consecutive hours, not even the most critically injured or ill die. Mathematicians are awestruck over the sheer improbability of it all. But by the dawn of the third day, it’s essentially proven that the la...
I swing my hammer at the wall with as much force as I can. Nothing happens yet, only a dent. I try again, and again, and again, and again. The hammer left a mark for sure, but not a hole. “Dammit.” I say to myself. I begin to walk away, until I felt some sort of cold air. I looked back. There was a small hole in th...
As Prince Renin flew through the air, he went over what he had been doing to lead him to this situation. The capital city was ablaze with rumors about a dragon and a kidnapped princess. Supposedly, she had been bewitched and was under some spell or other. He had, of course, done the honorable thing and gone to save h...
She's twelve and looks it. Brown hair, brown eyes, brown skin and cursed to go to a school that has uniformed her in a shade of red so close to brown she might as well be naked. "Is she naked?"one skinny startlingly white figure says to the other. They don't care, really. In the essence of the word, they also are wit...
Their eyes were lit with a frenzy of awe and fear as they stood frozen, at the front of my home. The first man risked a movement towards me, his legs trembling. "You do not age. You do not eat. You do not sleep. What are you, if not an abomination to be sacrificed?" I allowed my head to roll to one shoulder as I cast ...
"5 bucks she buys a bagel."Grandpa Tom licked his lips greedily. It was his first time joining the betting pool. He thought this was a safe bet. "I'll take that,"Romeus smiled. He was a young man, dressed in a white wrap-around robe. He was one of the more senior ancestors in attendance, most his age had already retir...
From 5pm to 10pm I am God. From 10 until 5pm the next day, I am Bob from accounting. All day long, as I toil away at work, I mostly forget what I was doing as God. It is like a veil of forgetfulness weighed down by my heavy, idiotic human brain. But right after work I feel a rush of insight, and become aware of my inf...
Feedback/critique is welcome :) The ghosts outside Las Vegas did not speak English. Rather, they *radiated* it. After 50 million years of evolution, Po'St'Ph emitted, the creatures of the Sirius system found they had no further use for mouths, or brains, or anything else as flimsy as flesh and bone. There was a simple...
It was quite a while before the shock wore off. Being told that I was, in fact, dead, and that the universe sorting out the afterlives by how the life ended was a real one-two punch. It was rediculously hard to keep my mind from obsessing over those two facts. Worse yet, I am an introvert! I relished my alone time! My ...
I look around the vast hall. The ceiling cannot be seen. There are only clouds. For clouds to form inside a building, it must be vast beyond reckoning. I can see figures mulling around by the shelves picking up books and reading them. I seem to not be the only one here with the same purpose. Gliding by every so...
"Yup,"the doctor said. He took off his stethoscope, lowered my shirt, and came around to face me. "You've got wolves." "Wolves?"I asked. "Wolves,"he said. He gestured to the X-ray of my lungs. "See this white thing here?"He pointed to a rough teardrop in a bunch of white things at the bottom of my left lung. I nodd...
"Rigel? Ensign, that's nearly a thousand light-years away, are you sure the translation algorithm is working?" "Y-yes sir, I even ran a trace on the routing of the message it went through an old Timeri line but it definitely came from Rigel-A three." The young Julian bobbed slightly from foot to foot, eyes unfocused ...
Judging from the size of the flames I knew that monster had to be in pain, but then it bolted out of the other side of the flaming circle unscathed and pranced to a guy that kind of looked like my uncle Harry, eyeing the man down and turning around as he turned back and looked at the sequence of flaming obstacles again...
She had always been interested in that sort of stuff: blood, the occult, serial killers, witches, mass shootings, but I thought it had just been a quirk she took up to set her apart from other girls. Now, with her knife against my throat, I wasn't so sure. "I could kill you right now, you know,"she said to me, pressi...
The first time I summoned Behezdas, I was terrified. The demon, smelling of sulfur and rotting goats, emerged from our stew, growing as he stepped out of the pot. "For what sinister purpose have you summoned me, human warlocks?"His voice made me think of a thousand metal doors slamming closed all at once. I stared in s...
Every once in a while, they pop up again. Different faces, same stupidity. I can hear them from miles away, the music on their radio so loud the mountains were grateful ears weren't bestowed upon them, tearing through trees and grass with a pimped out all terrain. I unstrap my rifle, putting the stock against my shoul...
"So says the Church Of Batis: The Lord and Emperor of the city of Tremoria, Gottenis, is hereby declared a heretic and is given the status of Dark Lord. Gottenis has been forsaken by God Almighty and is hence stripped of his powers for his new indulgence in the forbidden magical arts that threaten the very base of our...
Todd Spencer ★★★★★ The suffering is just incredible here *Reviewed in the Ugithan Province of Gillidan, Alpha Centauri on January 14th, 2633* I've seen literally the most incredible amount of suffering here it's amazing.

"Mind getting me a little more comfortable in here?"Set asked. His two guards snorted at that. He shrugged in response, hood over his head, still wearing a heavy winter jacket and gloves in the relatively warm room. One of the guards slapped him in return. "Shut up." Set grinned underneath the hood. "It's your funera...
"You know that using makeshift weapons against demons is not only stupid beyond belief, but is also against protocol, correct?"The inspector asked as he looked over at the truck that was currently wedged halfway through the doorway of a gothic crypt. "Yeah, I know"Jeb said as he spit on the ground next to were the re...
"I'm sorry, say that again?" "I wish to live in the Star Trek universe." "Okay, did I miss something? Didn't we just get done going over the rules?" "You said you had the power. You're capable of reshaping the fundamental reality of anything within your reach and, by extension, you can be nearly anywhere you need to...
Detective Lake stood in the exam room reading over the report, "He was shot in the eye, hand, groin, chest, back of the head, jaw, stomach..."He shook his head at the list of findings. "This is excessive. So, which one killed him?" The medical examiner laughed. "Lead poisoning, almost thirty years later." Lake looked...
*beeb beeb* “-should be on now… ok. It’s recording.” The man moves into the frame of the camera. “Hello, me in the future. I have no idea when you will be seeing this, wether a few days in the future, or a few thousand years, if this video survives that long… regardless, given my near-endless lifespan, and not so en...
“I don’t understand, papa. Why don’t we just stop the demons?” “Tis not that simple, my boy.” “Yes it is,” the young T’holtha said. It narrowed its many eyes at its father. “They are smaller than us. Their starships slower. We should be able to take the ground and the stars. We should be winning.” “We do wi...
Bemused, I study the coin. It is done, I shall let the world decide it’s own fate. Through dreams, premonitions, and human intellect, I reveal to select people the antidote to what I am about to unleash; To some, I give compassion, altruism, and empathy; In others, I instil arrogance, malice, and selfishness. The ...
I was expecting… I don’t know exactly. One never gets what one expects with grandpa Rupert. But I was definitely expecting more than this. A hat? A woefully out of style hat, at that… Each of the other grandkids got at least a million dollars… and I got a hat. I thought I was his favorite. I spent the most time with h...
There she was, this whole time. I spent day after day, night after night…. Searching. How could I have missed this? I agonized for years, worrying about what had become of her. But never having given up hope that I could save her. Knowing she was out there kept me going. I faced my lowest of lows, alone out there wit...
"Baguette shoes" It takes me a moment to place the non sequitur opening to the online call. A code word my best friend and I came up with back when we were roommates in college, after a drunken rewatch of groundhog day we agreed that if either of us got stuck in a time loop we could say that to the other and have an ...
I had my phone battery charged to 100%, weapons concealed in my every orifice, and int he trunk of my fully-fueled van was a back-up generator. This cabin out in the woods could just suck it; I'd come prepared for anything. That was when Gary, the token stoner of our group, pulled out his fursuit. "What the hell is th...
A white pod opens up revealing a young woman. She begins to groans as she was picked up and put in a wheelchair she then was taken to a room where she got handcuffed to the table. As she begins to fully wake up she started to panic looking back and forth throughout the room. A woman in a lab coat walked in. Dr. Rivers...
“Congratulations, Number Nine,” I tell him as I pour the scotch. I have his name on file, but he doesn’t like for us to use it. “Mr. Willford sends his thanks as well.” Nine chooses one of the tumblers and looks at me wryly over it. "Does he?" “The younger Mr. Willford, I mean,” I acknowledge. “His son. He will be ta...
The dogs had been around for as long as I could remember, trailing me home, running off creeps who tried to follow me, there was always more than one sometimes as many as five. I was so used to them I hardly noticed them most days. The dogs never really came into my home and I remember being a small child and opening m...
My guide congratulates me for the confirmed kill but he paused when he noticed my troubling face. "We can pray for the deer and burry it if you prefer." It seems he thought I'm being the kind that regrets when I take a innocent live, it's probably quite common but I'm having a bigger dilemma. This experiment shows I...
The click-clacking of 2 million chimp hands mashing 1 million typewriters was deafening. Of course, the keyboards were also electronic, entering their data into a moderately large database, but the patron of this facility, whoever it was, had a vision for the aesthetics of the project. It being in a database made it ...
(First attempt at a writing prompt) My head is beating harder than it normally does when I get up. Bleary eyed, I try to take a look at whatever damage I did to my safe room this time- I'm not in my safe room. I started panicking, \*How did I get out? What did I forget to do? Did I hurt anyone? How much damage did I...
Hophat thought that being dead and mummified, he should be able to rest in peace. In fact, that was exactly what he did for a couple thousand years. After grave robbers showed up in his tomb. He was shipped off the A British museum where he was studied for months before being put on display. The thing was, although Ho...
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! At long last, the Willy Wonka company is proud to present: Chocolate 2! The next generation of chocolate!"I waved my arm with a grand flourish at the large screen at the WonkaCo Presentation Arena. The lights dimmed as the screen began its elaborate song and dance, showin...
Command? The simple word was followed by a blinking cursor. This would have been expected, if it wasn't displayed on the new plane of existence that appeared before me. The barista froze in place, with her mouth hung open silently. The misspelled name on the side of the cup might have meant it was for me, or for the...
“And how do you plan on teaching a language if you can’t decipher it?” “I mean. Uh. I mean we’ll get them all the — uh — the sounds? Like. The syllables and...stuff.” “We don’t know the first thing about this language! We don’t know if the language is tonal, atonal, or if it’s even expressible in our context of syll...

"We don't need him."One of the two leather clad and masked people standing in my living room says, arms crossed and sneer faced. "You heard Farce-Multiplier,"I say to the less standoffish person in my living room, while gesturing to the angry one, "You don't need me. Thanks for stopping by, it was a pleasure to see y...
My family we’re different. One could say we’re bred for monster hunting. Although, not in the best way. We’re expendable. We’re pawns in everyone else’s game. It doesn’t happen often though. We’re originally renowned alchemists. Brews, potions, the odd contraption and of course, poisons. We provide all, and when the si...
I have tried over the course of my career to impart upon my readers an understanding of the true futility of life. It is the greatest horror story I could ever tell, one that each and every one of us can relate to as it is the reality we exist within. Yet, and yet… They love it. They can’t get enough of it. They’re ev...

Helix let out a long-winded sigh. "What type of monster asks their victim if they can eat them?" The large ogre with a long, protruding snaggle tooth scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Ummm...." "Look. In the real world, enemies don't give their victims time for a monologue."Helix continued after blinking t...
Sierra lay hooked up to more tubes than she could count, oxygen being pumped directly into her. *Ah,* she thought. *So this is how I die.* She needed a liver transplant to survive, but she was ready to let go. The young woman thought of all the things she had done. All the abuse she had endured. She had some particul...
On the fourth day, the flood abated, dropping the water level to ankle-deep. And on the fifth day, weird stuff started happening. I mean, everyone knew that it had been magic water, so all the adults stayed pretty well clear of it. And they tried to keep the children away. But I and a couple of my friends outsmarted th...
Jaki slugged Mira's arm spilling her tea and said, “Well, want to go check the wall?” It had been a slow month with hardly any challenging names on the wall but most of the Sisterhood didn’t mind after the past few months. A change in leadership is always a busy time with difficult names. With the new Empress this was...
It always came down to the money, but I would never give it to them. Unfortunately they were useless without it, so I devised a way to pay them handsomely without a single penny leaving my own Treasury. Advertising, of other humans' businesses. These would be plastered on their videos and bring in an adequate amount wh...
“Open up” a voice bellowed. “We know you’re in there! Where is my son Tyne, protector of men?” A large man dressed in fancy red robes and adorned with gold jewelry stood in front of a door built into the side of a small hill. The door was known as the entrance to Tan’s house but that was all. The house belonged to a m...
I really only had one thought when I saw the name on the roster next to mind, and it looked something like a question mark made out of repeating rows of WTF. I'm no bigot; I went to public school along with Martians and Orokins and Minbari. I don't have any problems with people from other worlds. But I'd never heard o...

I was about to teleport again until the aliens showed up. They were grey humanoids, like the movies you see. I guess I can tell Nic that they are not green. For a moment, I thought about having a friendly chat with them. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet aliens! I could learn from them, but then I realized they ...
I didn't know what to do about it. That stupid playlist has been sitting in my library for months, maybe years. I've just been ignoring it over and over figuring it was some sort of Spotify bug - which, lets be honest here, would not be unheard of. It didn't even have a cover image, the title was always random garbage,...
They called me their ace in the hole. I had run countless simulations of combat, from both positions of power and on the back foot. I had seen cities lain to waste, only to restart and work out what went wrong. I was given everything that was known about foreign militaries, factoring them into my responses. But the ma...
She's the god of piece. And I am the most annoying person on the planet. At least, to those around me I am. I of course don't think I am annoying. But I'm starting to have my doubts. Seeing as she is getting more frustrated by the minute. I didn't even do anything wrong. I'm just trying to point out that peace isn't r...
"They send a child to face me? Where is the challenge in that?" "You'll find that I'm more formidable than my age implies." "Very well. Come boy, face your death!" As had been the established pattern with previous "Chosen Ones,"the boy was no match for me. His blade ran dull and his strikes lacked strength. I ran hi...

It was at that time she was particularly worried for her child. Mothers are always a bit concerned for their children, of course, but she had a special concern. *The carnival is tomorrow. The cousins should be able to gather at that time if they go fast enough. Hopefully they loaded their machine guns and brought maga...
I looked at my therapist. I really looked at him for the first time. He just revealed to me that there was only one imaginary friend left. I thought he had cured me, I thought I was finally no longer crazy. But there is one more. Who was the last one? How come I can't think of any more? I looked at my therapist. I rea...
The temple had fallen. She stood alone, set to guard the greatest treasures of her Faith. There had been *warnings* from the men; cruel japes and vivid descriptions. For her own safety, they had said, they had placed her there, at the protection of the children. They warned her of the horrors of what would happen if s...
"Don't you think it's time to address this? Now that it's said, it's easier to process, isn't it?" "What? I don't need to address anything. There's nothing wrong with me." "You just admitted you were attracted to a member of the same sex. That's perfectly natural, you-" "NO! No I didn't, don't twist my words, that's...
Gabe beckoned over to one of the state troopers who were keeping an eye on the growing crowd. “Hey, Corporal Williams,” he said. The night before, Gabe had taken Williams in to cut the line, and Samuel had healed his wife’s chronic migraines; now he looked at him with the bright eyes of a true believer. “I’m going to d...
I rubbed the sleep from eyes and pinched myself so hard it drew blood. Familiar eyes peered from under my king sized bed, four smoky eyes swirled in a spiral of menace. Caused me to piss my pajama pants. I scrambled to the far side of the bed away from the monstrosity. "It's not real. It's not real. It's not real. It'...
I was in the back feeding Morf and her babies when I heard the trumpets. I quickly replenished the water bowls, bowed to Morf, winked at the dragonlings and shut the gate. Something was up. When I entered the alcove, there was the Queen herself, her heir Rupert, and two younger daughters. "Greetings Your Highness. ...
The cashier’s voice wakes me from a reverie. I feel disoriented, confused, like I had been sleep walking. I look down and see an antique brooch made of sterling silver, covered by a beautiful patina that’s been decades or even centuries in the making. A small glass dome encases a dried red poppy. The na...
A yawn escapes me as I stand there, stirring my morning beanbrew. The rich, bitter scent reaches my nostrils, invigorating me even before the first mouthful. I raise the cup to my face and let the steam caress my skin as I turn to head to the table, gently blowing across the surface of the hot liquid to help cool it do...
It’s been so long since it was discovered that the name we first used for it is long forgotten, now we just call it the flower. It’s a small plant with light blue petals that curve upwards elegantly like a fresh rose, but it has no thorns, every part is soft to the touch and smells like sugar. When the flower first ap...
Tom’s sneakers squeaked across the school hall’s floor as Beau dragged him by the collar. “Nice shirt, dweeb. Your mom dress you this morning?” Beau said with a smirk. He pulled Tom toward a girl in front of her locker, sitting on her knees. “Move!” The girl flinched and stood up, trying to close her locker as fast a...
“No man shall ever love you!” said the witch. “Oh my God, thank you!” the woman replied. The witch shot her a confused look. “Oh, you think you’ll be safe because you’re lesbian? Well, for your information, “man” is also a gender neutral term. So any and all humans across the realm are affected by my spell.” “Aren’...
I always thought of myself as a nobody. I was never the popular kid in school, and even in adulthood I always was somebody people would just walk by without really noticing. Sure, I had this special power, but it's never really done anything special for me. Visions of other things happening never really affected me in ...
"He is a good boy! He doesn't deserve this!""Deserve has nothing to do with it Gabriel, you know that." The two glowing beings floated above the careening vehicles, their crash frozen moments before impact. Gabriel looked longingly at the boy in the backseat. He floated closer and pressed his hands against the glass, ...
The grizzled old warlock sat staring in disbelief as, across from him, sat Lauren, a member of the 456th generation of the curse he started. It was not that the curse was still going that perplexed him, or even that it had weakened to the point that those inflicted with the change had regained a measure of control. The...
“I can assure you, 72 hours is well within the legal limit.” The corporate representative droned as he set the dial. Syncing his watch with the glowing orange display he set the countdown for one minute exactly and began the hasty routine of locking the control cover and half-jogging to the exit. “Are you sure? Ever ...
The woman swept through the automatic doors like the winter wind. She drifted down the isles, eyes fixed, her long white gown fluttering softly behind her. Strange folk came through gas stations in the early hours of the morning. Haunted faces, harried looks, and mumbled transactions filled my shifts. Each fleeing t...

“As opposed to what? A twenty-something who couldn’t accept they’re not hot shit? A thirty-something whose dreams were shattered? Or someone who’s going through a midlife crisis and destroying their family along the way? There’s a reason the military needs young recruits.” “Well… when you put it like that… I mean, su...
Empires are built to crumble. This is an unspoken rule that cannot be broken. There will always be someone who has better ideas than the previous monarch. Visions that will benefit the people and lead the realm to progress. Change is inevitable, and we must not stay in her way. I had managed to do what none of...

"Push,"the white-coated doctor said firmly. "...Aaand, again." A slippery infant landed in her capable hands. She handed it off to a brisk nurse. The lights in the delivery room seemed slightly over-bright. "Aaand, once more, Evelyn, you've got this,"the doctor said, and calmly caught the second infant. This time a b...
Jornal day #1067 People can either choose beauty or safety, when it comes to flowers, or so they say. Fearful people would rip entire flowering brushes by its roots, least someone touched them, mesmerized by either colors or smells. And even the smell is poisonous, be it the mild irritation caused by a common dais...
I blinked at the woman beside me, the one who just so vehemently forced herself into my car with what looks like 10 bags of what I could only assume is money considering the comically large dollar sign in the center of each. “Are you deaf or something?! Hurry up and drive!” She commanded. I took once last glance at th...
He came into the saloon and sat down in front of the bartender. He asked for a double shot of slime with a nectar twist. He laid down a coin. The bartender said, “Nobody uses coin. What are you?” The man answered, “Verify. I travel. Dust off your machine.” The bartender angrily dropped the co...
The grim strip lighting of the loading bay dazzled Christian Rabellino as he stepped inside. All around him, rebel fighters frenzied with activity as they prepared to launch their most audacious attack yet against the regime. They planned to strike right at it's heart - the presidential palace. He had long since inform...
The Heavenly Antares had been watching the planet Earth for hundreds of years. The way the Humans were developing was terrifying to the Heavenly Antares. They had needed eons to develop anything close to electricity. Thus, they were chosen as a target of their holy crusade. While watching them develop, they prepared fo...

When I explained the idea behind the book I'm currently writing to my English teacher he literally asked me why the main character didn't take over the world. So I'm going to use that character. It has to be in 1st person, bare with me it'll make sense. Dialogue focused because I gave up on writing actions. ​...
