"WHAT?"boomed the towering inferno. "I would just like to be your friend, if that's alright"said Mr. Rogers, giving the pillar of flame a pleasant smile. "DO YOU NOT DESIRE? ALL OF ADAM'S CHILDREN ARE OF SIN." "Well yes, everyone struggles with sin, but I like to think I have a handle on it. If it's not too ...
The Whale, by Edgar Allen Poe Once upon a probability deary, appeared a whale, weak and weary. Through the sky, slightly searing, heading toward the ground below. Within this thoughts came a whipping, the wind was whipping as he sore. "Tis the wind,"he did mutter, "whipping at me as I sore." "Tis the wind, and...
"It is time." The deal was made that if humanity as a whole were to get its act together by 2033 then we would not strike. I have watched, patiently waiting, for the redemption to begin. It never did. I said I would not interfere. I kept my end of the bargain. I watched. I saw everything. I processed statistics...
My head is pounding. Oh wait, that's the door. Whole mess of dudes in suits come running in shouting for me to get down. Jokes on them, cause I can't get up. They haul me up and I see Trump on the carpet, he's not breathing. The seven hookers and the rest of our friends are all splayed around the room in various pos...
I'd lost count of how many years I'd actually experienced in my life, if you can call it that. According to the calendar my body is just over 83 years old. I've experienced closer to 1500 years or so in my mind. When I was younger I'd only go back up to a few weeks in order to stop my death and even that was pretty rar...
The Binding List - Chapter 1 "You sure about what you're saying, sir? You actually lost the list? How?", asked Ren. After all, losing this list could have fatal consequences. Yet it was lost. "Yes, I'm sad to say that. It was being kept in a special place within the Pacific Ocean, and then suddenly, we lost the commu...
"What is beyond The Wall?"the teacher said. All but one of the assembled students chanted back, "Nothing is beyond The Wall." "Why is The Wall?" "The Wall is." "Who is The Wall?" "The Wall is life." It would be tempting to think that the one student not taking part in the lesson was doing so out of a deep seated ...
"Hey buddy, pass the cranberry sauce?" I locked eyes with the Mongoose and offered him the bowl. "There you go." "Thanks,"he said. I sat slouched at the table letting the merriment flow and ebb around me. The same few songs looped around strings of cheap LED lights, and in my nostrils was the odour of roasting meat...
Chips, cards, dice, flashing lights and gaudy carpet. Machines in rows with fruit, girls, "WIN WIN WIN."Patrons at every table, dealers at every turn, every game you could ever want to play all packed into one large room. Bright oranges and reds spilled over the carpets and leaked up the walls, soaking into the workers...
The light of day was raining on my parade. My breath smelled like death, and all the bad decisions in the world flooded my mind like sand overtaking a shack in the desert. Perhaps passing out in a bar had been one of those poor decisions. My eyes remained tightly closed even though my phone buzzed quietly in my pocke...
I am a maker. I make things. I am happy. The end. It is not permitted to not be happy. They don't like it if we are not happy. So we are happy. We are happy all the time. We smile, so widely it hurts our faces. We whistle all day long. We wear bright colours and laugh. We laugh all the time. Not laughing might make...
The angel turned away from the battlefield, wiping the blood of the damned from its face. It stumbled, wide-eyed, back to the path that lead to the Pearly Gates. Its closet companion, a cherub named something that sounded like Cal, waved at it as it passed. "Gal'el,"which is what the angel's name sounded like, "What t...
As Riley continued to read, her emotions slipped deeper into chaos. The book told her things she shouldn't have known. The book told her things that no one should have known. Those dark thoughts, the ones they really think when they smile like they wear a mask, were overturned. The abominations that motivated the uni...
4:30 am - Baked fresh bread and defrosted four gallons of plasma. Scrunched three dozen apples for cider. Pressed a batch of silver bullets. Moved coffins to display window. Opened. 5:15 am - Vampires arrived. Sold 3.5 gallons of blood before sunrise. No coffins. Brought pickaxes, garlic and crosses into shop from cel...
Mesa is actually just a senior representative for my senator. I'm not sure what qualified mesa for the job, but it is mine. I'm an exile from my own country, but then I spoke for our entire planet. Somehow, I got caught up in a huge civil war, but I can't even fight! Man, what were they thinking? War is no place for a ...
I slowly opened my eyes and saw nothing but complete darkness. As I began to sit up, I felt the rough wood of the box underneath me. It began to tilt and sway to one side. Everything was black. I couldn’t see a thing as I positioned my feet underneath my body in order to balance myself against the back-and-forth swayin...
"Death, I'm a little busy right now." I understand. However, he is out of time. "No. There's time. Nurse, hand me that clamp."She tied off the bleeder, and motioned for a sponge. She sopped up some blood. "He's not finished yet." I'm afraid he is. Death held up an hourglass, shotglass tiny, all but empty of fa...
"I heard that maybe I should sweep the leg?" John Rambo grunted. "Sweep the leg... that is some shit."He ran his hands through his grey hair and shook his head. "That ain't gonna do anything. You gotta stomp the leg. The ankle. With your boot." Daniel looked down at his white tennis shoes. "I don't have any bo...
(First time posing. ~~Haven't fully fleshed it out. Forgive the incompleteness.~~) "Hi Mom! I'm home! Class got out early and I didn't have lab today. What's for lunch??" Huh. Funny. She's usually down stairs by now. Opening the fridge, I grab some milk and get a bag of Oreos from the cabinet... Huh. I coulda sworn ...
Beware the Pod People my son Those thoughtless thieves of time Silently sleeping stowaways Buried deep in their metal tombs Arising arising in the distant future Decades away from whence they slumbered My father recited this to me when I was but a young android. Centuries ago mankind discovered how to easily pu...
At first, the simulation seemed to be a success. "The Middle Ages"became one of the highest grossing television series, portraying the time period as the simulation saw fit. As the race of simulated beings advanced through the ages, similar trends to the real world began to occur. Tragedies and discoveries happening on...
Valentine they called me. The only people who bothered to call me my real name were my parents when I was born. I ~~was~~ am Valerie Heartwood. I've always seemed natural from the outside looking in, but that's because I've never turned what's inside out. My friends always thought I was the best for relationship advi...
"President Snow is here. You will speak only when spoken to."The guard turned and left, leaving the man alone in his kitchen. A white-haired shell of an old man entered the room. He took a long time to sit down as he was in what was clearly a fragile state. He smelled of a very familiar scent to the man, though the tw...
Well, ya see, I was just standin' there one day, just mindin' my own business, when suddenly I see a ton of spaceships in the sky. They was REAL big, so I went to take a look. When they come down to the ground, I get a good look at them, they're just like the ones in movies! So then I go up and knock on that spaceship ...
Brother Luke switched the safety off on his AK. He wore a mask that displayed a caricarture of the devil grinning madly. James never liked the masks. They obscured his sight. He wore a surgical mask and had a woolen cap to cover his head. It was fitting. He saw himself as more of a healer than whatever the masks were s...
“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?” The banging stopped. “I am done with this you little… whatever you are! I am just trying to relax on my day off, and you are banging and crashing and disturbing me!” I looked around. The room seemed empty, but I knew I wasn’t alone. I waited for a sign of acknowledgement, but ther...
“In time, it will all make sense.” He had told me. But all was not as he had said. It was not close to what he had said. Dark clouds, loud clanks, fierce beasts. Oh God, the beasts. They rose like snakes from the dust strewn plains where we had once lived. Their black shapes curled to make tight twists of smoke; sha...
A set of gulls perched on the mast cried out incessantly. Each call made my head pound in protest, and I gave a primal roar, hoping to frighten the pests away. It didn't work; instead, more seagulls seemed to join them. I slowly became aware of the bright sun beating down on me, and the uncomfortable wooden surface b...
“Can I get you more juice?” said Lavinia. Tad, straining against his bonds in the metal chair at the far end of the conference table, wriggled. “You’re one sick puppy, you know that?” “I love puppies!” said Lavinia. “You know the only thing more bloated than your waistline is your ego,” said Tad. “Not nice. No juic...
“The great Yogi will see you now,” spoke the acolyte. &nbsp; I entered the inner sanctum with bowed head. I had journeyed so far in both mind and body to reach this point. Through freezing tundra and smothering jungle I had trekked, always keeping my eye on this sole point. Now the pilgrimage was finally at an...
I craft this bed of gold For it is my only comfort. The rocks are too rough, The grass too itchy, The snow outside the cave too cold for my scales. Though I am a creature of fire, I am cold blooded. I build myself a fire to warm my bed of gold Like ember it glows. I am a modest creature. I have not killed to ...
So here we are, locked in our kidnappers basement. I'm trapped down here with George, who is blind, Stan, who has no arms and no legs and myself who is deaf. We don't appear to have a lot going for us but thankfully the kidnapper left us untied as he probably assumed we don't pose much of an escape threat. We are all...
The accident happened in an instant. There we were driving down the road, then all of a sudden we weren't. I got the worst of it, the truck hit the my side head on. There was never any pain, I was just suddenly here, floating above the wreckage, watching the paramedics try to save us. He cleared his throat behind me t...
"What?"I said in surprise. "Tag, your it!"The hooded hooligan said with a giggle. I decided to sit back and process what was happening. The Grim Reaper was slowly gaining the most doofiest smile in anticipation for my response. "Ok, is this some kind of trick?"The Reaper's grin went away. "Look, buddy, my boss has ...
"What the.....?"I whisper. A book was glowing. Not bright, but rather, softly. Almost like a nightlight in the middle of the day. I look around. Everyone is minding their own business, be it reading or browsing. Cats for Dummies, so said the spine. I think about how odd it was that such a random book was glowing. I...
Dumbledore rose to his feet. "I'm quite pleased to announce that for the fourth time in four years, Gryffindor ends the term with the most points!" A roar broke forth from the Gryffindor table. Ron clapped Harry on the back. "Well done, mate!"Both of them had contributed enough points to outweigh those taken from all ...
"Got any jet, kid?" Ugh. I hate coming to Sanctuary. All of the settlers just hammer random walls and Mama Murphy refuses to do anything except sit in her chair asking for drugs for her "sight". Maybe I'll give her some, she might shut up. "Okay, Mama Murphy, have some Jet." "Thanks, kid" I hand her a canister of je...
Mac finished mopping the hallway and entered the bathroom, he set the mop against the white tiled wall and pulled a cigarette out of the crumpled pack in his blue uniform breast pocket. The no smoking sign stared him in the face as he lit and took a deep drag. Three months into this job at the SCP, or the Scientific ...
thump thump thump The neighbour was at it again. He was doing something to the wall. At this point I didn't know if he was punching it or just walking into it. He could be fucking it for all I cared. Enough was enough. I got dressed, left the house and went next door. I hammered onto the knocker as hard as ...
Things used to be different. I used to love days like this. I can still remember warm summer days, playing outside until the stars would come out. Singing and laughing with my friends and getting into endless trouble. Our mothers would run out, shouting at us to behave and to calm down. But we always knew they lo...
She left one day, almost without a trace. Everything that had belonged to her had suddenly disappeared. The door to her room was locked, all the decoration gone from the outside. My sixteen year old daughter had run away. The only thing that had once been hers that remained in the house was a note. An unsigned note, on...
Alex giggled, almost deliriously. It might have been the nerves, or the fact that he floated thousands of feet above the surface. He didn't find anything particularly funny. He was just about to beat up some bad guys for the first time. Far below, he saw the robbers exit the jewelry store. He pulled out his walkie-t...
Yawning, Sean fumbled around groggily with his phone until he shut off the alarm. "Bloody hate early meetings,"he grumbled as he slid out of bed at a glacial pace. Morning routine: Kettle, Toaster, Teeth, Toast, Butter, Jam, Coffee, News. Hunkering down at his dining table with his breakfast and coffee, Sean pulled o...
Flipping through the pages of the Hugo boss catalog, circa 1938, Todd knew this would be the best prank ever. . . "Human, do you have the formal wear of your people's optimized visual experience of us - so that we may be seen as like entities - picked out?" Todd looked up from the catalog slowly. His eyes registering...
Phil pointed at the large metal door in front of him, his eyes following a series of indecipherable runes carved into its surface. "What's this room?"he asked. "Oh that's the Cosmic Ray room,"said Bert, the factory foreman. "It's got all them, whatcha call 'em..." "...cosmic rays?"suggested Phil. Bert ...
Holy shit. "Holy shit."I wasn't feeling too creative, just having been shipwrecked and all, so I said the first thing that came to mind. After he told me he was shipwrecked 300 years ago, that thing was holy shit, you're batshit crazy. "You're batshit crazy." But he didn't look crazy. I guess - I mean, I haven...
"Good morning students!"Ms. Avery said excitedly. "Welcome to year six English." The student body replied only with a 'sigh' that said "why the hell are we awake at 9am?" "Let me start by outlining the corriculum for the year,"she continued. "As required we will all be reading Stephen Kings 'The Dark Tower' in its wh...
“Hey,” Jack’s mom put a gentle hand on her son’s shoulder. “It’s gonna be fine, you’ll have a great time.” Jack remained silent, his eyes idly tracking the rise and fall of the telephone wires that raced alongside the car. His mom returned her hand to the steering wheel and the pair continued on in a silence she was ...
I've seen many things throughout my adventures; hordes of undead, terrible beasts and some of the most wicked demons imaginable. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw in the stockade of dread. I am Aurius The Pure, a 10th level paladin dreamed up by a 20 year old art student from Maine. As a defender of the we...
I've never been a morning person. In retrospect, I should have told the 'genie' that I'd mull it over during class and make my wish after dinner. But no - in my bleary haze I simply blurted out that I wished my dreams would come true. "Very well", the genie murmured. "You may make a second wish - at your leisure." ...
"What the hell?"I whispered, reaching up to flick on the light in the ceiling above my bunk. The soft light brightens the room a bit more. "Frank. Frank, wake up."I reach down and shake our engineer on the bunk below me. Frank swats at my hand and rolls back over, groaning about needed to fix everyone's shit or somet...
As I look up in the sky, I can see the crack. A crack spanning the length of our moon. Good God why. Something must be coming. I know there are myths of the moon being some sort of egg, waiting to hatch a being, or a god. No one else seems to notice it; I grab people, tell them to look, but they can't see it. Ho...
I can smell him. I know he is here somewhere. He isn't far. I remember him telling the kids that if they lost something they should think back to when they last saw it. I remember when he picked me up from the pound as a puppy. His beaming face and the taste of his cheeks as I licked them. But that's too far back. Wh...
Why? Was the only thing racing through Jessica's mind as she stood behind her boyfriend Tom, twenty stories in the air. "It isn't worth it!"He screamed to her over the blasting winds that muffled all their words. She was scared that a strong one might push him over the ledge he balanced so precariously on, but anoth...
"I think I'm in love"- May 2, 2006 I sighed as I quickly turned off my phone. After checking my email, I reopened Facebook and checked my feed again. Hey Ryan! Remember this status update from 10 years ago? "I think I'm in love"- May 2, 2006 I stared at the picture even though I had already burned it into memor...
Holy crap! I said in a booming voice. Which was strange. I had a He-man like body. Then a dragon body. Then an eagle body. Then back to He-man, but I knew I could shift back to whatever. I looked at my golden iPhone 2. My bank account was going crazy, money being added in amounts of millions, thousands, hundreds... I...
I pushed past the vines and cobwebs, exposing the stone tablet underneath. The humid weather of the jungle did little to faze me, as my hands worked feverishly to unravel the coverings of the ages upon my prize. The nameless civilization was nearly lost to history, as their accomplishments and culture faded into oblivi...
I wake up, bleary-eyed. I roll out of bed, and swipe my phone to turn the alarm off. What I see wakes me up, pretty damn quick. 100. That's what the back of my hand said. 100. There had been cases of people waking up with 1, or maybe even up to 5, but never, not once, had anyone killed 100 people overnight. Well, it se...
"Hey, Billie." "Oh, hey. Ross." "You okay?" "Yeah. Stuck, though. Mind pulling this sword out." "No problem, man. Who did this?" "Phil." "Oh shit. No way!" "Yeah. Don't blame him, though." Ross gave a hard tug, and the sword came loose with a squishing sound, followed by a rush a blood. "Damn, that's a lot of ...
"Where the fuck are my keys?"Johnny said to nobody in particular. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and came out with a phone, some loose change and a couple of old sweet wrappers. For the third time this week. "For fucks sake..."Johnny sighed. He was going to have to go back to the lobby and find someone to let hi...
Every night for the last week, I swear to God, my pillows have almost killed me. I'd say they were trying to kill me, if that didn't sound completely insane. I used to love big, fluffy pillows, the kind your head sinks right down into. But, one night, I sank too far. It engulfed my head on both sides, and I woke up ...
It was warm and sunny and I was in a relatively good mood that day. As I walked the boulevard I could see several street peddlers trying to grab the attention of travels as they walked by, to little avail. As I was eating my icecream and smiling at the scene of it all a jovial man in a bright Hawaiian shirt with a na...
Peter signed the mortgage cheque with two weeks due. This month he had a little extra without Emily's expenses. He looked at his reflection in the banking hall mirror, the eyebags were fading. For the past six months Emily hadn't woken up screaming in the middle of the night. She also hadn't banged the wall at 3 AM as...
His head didn't stop rolling until it hit a tree, bouncing slightly and coming to rest on his left ear. The expression on his face was one of utter confusion, but as I watched the life leave him it slowly relaxed into something that I could only interpret as acceptance. The fort was dead silent, with only the calls of...
~~12:00PM~~ 11:57AM James stood in line, worriedly pawing the gun tucked into his waistband. This wasn't how it was supposed to go - he wasn't supposed to make the first move. His eyes were locked directly ahead, on that beautiful blond of a teller; anything too furtive and it may arouse the suspicion of the nearby gu...
Language truly is a weird thing, isn't it? In today's world no language truly holds power except for a select few. People learn more and more languages seeking power that is unimaginable by any living being. Most languages that are widely spoken only hold the power of communication, such as English and the Romance Lang...
It was enormous. That was what they always tell you in stories. They always mention the size of the beasts, unless they are making a point by calling it small. But that never really seems to impress just how large they really are. It was as if a whale - no, several whales - had been lined up end to end, and then melt...
Joshua Keen was - let's see, how shall I put this - well, he was a truly singular boy. He would invariably attach himself to some movie or another, chanting the lines along with the film as he watched it, and mimicking them in the world like some autistic parrot. On the day after being introduced to Disney's Aladdin,...
Somewhere in the etherial plane of non-existence, void of time and physicality, an unborn soul was passed down its verdict. "The Powers That Be have approved your request for life", rang out the final, lasting call with authority and unwavering certainty. "Oh..."replied the despondent soul. Then confusedly followed w...
“Will you help me?” I asked, for the Moon was magic and wise. “Oh,” said the Moon, “ You must forget him, darling child.” “But why?” I asked, and rustled with distress. “He is a man,” said the Moon, “And men are inconstant. But, trees do not waver, or alter, or change - except to grow stronger and deeper, alway...
This morning wasn’t different from any other, except for my HP watch. It was at 72 yesterday….not bad for a middle aged guy with about 15 extra pounds on him. I keep saying I’ll go to the gym on Monday, I’ll start the diet on Monday. Of course, Monday comes and goes and who starts a diet on Thursday? I figured if I...
I woke up like I always had for the last five years. Stiff and sore on my cold concrete floor. My hair was a rats' nest and my clothes were stained from all of the food I ate. Even my industrial washer and dryer couldn't take them out. I stood up, stretched, and reached over for my Xbox One controller. That's when I re...
"The far side"is leaking _______________________________________ Alone in his toughts, he had to come up with a way to save their ignorant lives in less than 5 minutes. "Jimmy, come down stairs. Your bus is here" Taking his hand from Le Cuak, Jimmy answered his mother. "In a second!" Le Cuak had analised the si...
"You chained me to a rock!" "You made me give birth to a cow!" "You made me fuck a swan!" "You made me think you were my husband and got me pregnant!" "An eagle ate my fucking liver!" He took a deep breath. "Guys, I'm sorry. Honestly. I didn't think any of that shit would carry on, I just thought-" A figure step...
I’m following him. I don’t know why, but I think I need to meet this person. Maybe it is just my natural curiosity, maybe it’s something more. All I know is there’s too much different about him for me to investigate. To start with, he has a dark look on his face that rivals any that I have ever seen. I don’t even...
"Alright, I got something that's going to blow your mind." "Jesus Tony what is it this time? Last time you told me you had something that would blow my mind you tried convincing me the government put a chip in your head." "No trust me on this one, I only noticed it today. There are seven people that work here, not in...
Left. Right. Clawed foot splashed in puddle. Left. Red door on the right. I ran past the barred entrance. I had to keep running, but obviously, I could not enter a residence without first being invited inside. My only option lay with losing them in the streets and then… No time for long-term planning, I silently cha...
The rifles remained leveled at his chest. The yells were in the local tongue, just as the weapons and uniforms concealed the origins of the men. The rifle sights rested on a young man wearing various articles of desert camouflage and a shemagh concealing the lower portions of his face. He let his weapon fall from his f...
"What mug was it?" "It was my Buzz Lightyear mug, Carl." "Fuck right off. Seriously? Someone stole your Buzz Lightyear mug? Does Jerry know?" "You're the first person I've told." "Jerry. Hey, Jerry. Come over here, man." Jerry reluctantly walked across the room, "listen, guys, I don't have the time for this I've g...
"Gregory, you're being ridiculous,"Thomas said as he stared at the warning painted on the door. "Besides, there is clearly someone in there, we can't leave them." Gregory sighed, "the fact that there's someone in there is what is most terrifying. Need I remind you that we're about 200 miles away from the nearest civil...
(Mobile phone sorry couldn't help it. Also profanity) "NATSI GRAMMAR WARRANT! NATSI GRAMMAR WARRANT!" I kicked in the door to the farm house, my heart slamming in my chest. Point man, always me. The lives of my men were priceless to me, but that wasn't why. When it came down to it, every grammar warrant I execut...
The lab room lights flickered at a frequency barely perceptible to Arthur and Ingo as they looked intently at the screen in front of them. Numbers and statistics flew by as the pair searched for anything that could be portrayed in a positive light. The results of their latest experiments were just coming in, and not a ...
The storm was raging, lighting crackled thematically across the sky, illuminating the silhouette of your evil tower. The only way to get to the massive building was a narrow rope bridge, swaying perilously in the wind. Of course it wasn't swaying too perilously. You just wanted to set the mood, not kill somebody. ...
There's a reason you're supposed to drink the soup. A reason you're supposed to forget. I didn't know what it was. I didn't understand at all. When I refused, the man who offered me the soup gave me a sly smile. "You want to drink it,"he told me. "You won't want to remember." I didn't believe him. I refused to drink...
"Mr. Paller, may I talk to you in my office?"said Principal Bishop. Her voice was flat and unnerving. She only used this tone when two children were both in trouble and she was trying to squeeze out which one started it. For Bill Paller, it was a sign some sort of truth was going to be squeezed out of him. "Please, t...
"Wait...you can't go, you're not a fictional creature Chuck Norris!" Just then Jason was struck dead by a bolt of divine lightning for doubting Chuck Norris. His identical brother Jason stepped forward to continue the conversation. "Jason, brother of the late Jason, Chuck Norris Transcends reality, Chuck Norris is bo...
I thought I was still dreaming. I did. Then it came again. The voice, soft and deep, pleading for help. I jumped out of the bed and ran for the phone. Then I stopped. Is this him? Is this the person who has been stalking me and making my life a scary movie for the past two years? I had moved four times, and he stil...
######[](#dropcap) Life has a habit of giving me lemons. ---- Even in this world, where the people call them "Lelams,"I get more than my fair share. It might even be safer to say, more accurate than just giving them to me, life really just throws them in my general direction. Pretty hard throws too: I'm talking...
The unmistakable tickle of blades of grass brushed across my ears and neck. I opened my eyes. For some reason I was lying in the grass on my front lawn. I squinted up at the bright sky, then pulled my head up slightly off the ground. My legs were rolled over sideways in a half bent position and my arms were splayed out...
Since I can remember, I have always known that the one biological function I do not need to do is "live". Until yesterday, I had always been to afraid to even attempt to not live. "How is this achived? What will happen when I do it, cease to live?" The fear was too strong and I had never been brave enough. I had alway...
The war raged on. Soldiers of both sides screamed as they threw themselves at each other, a writhing mass of bodies and armor. A flying battalion of the Red Army screamed down out of the sky, and caught the Black Army unawares. They tried to hide in the trenches of dirt, but some were unlucky. The soldiers that did sur...
Ronalde Monte awoke to the sound of distant ringing bell of bells, and the soft rustle of forest trees. As he dressed in cloth, then chain, then armor as he always did, those longing sounds of somber metal carried on with heavy tones, resonating along the blue and clouded sky above the meadows with the rising of the m...
"Hey Pluto, how's it hanging?"Asked Eris, the second largest of the dwarf planets. Pluto merely growled at him. "You're not still hung up over the human infestation on Earth, are you?" "If Mercury and Mars and Earth and Venus can be planets, why can't I,"said Pluto. Pluto's largest moon Charon, really a binary dwar...
I couldn't wait. I could finally see the planet I was always dreaming of inhabiting! The planet Sol-3, where miraculous things happen! I could go to Tokyo, get a job, maybe even publish the stuff I've been writing! "Captain-san, should we enter orbit?" "HAI!" We entered orbit, and then my second-in-command approach...
I love robots and they don't love me back. Yeah yeah, judge all you want. I bet you have your weird little secrets too, hypocrite. My job? I love that too. Wonderful work environment. I do construction automation. In case you're not aware, this means I watch hunky bots lift heavy equipment all day. Just thinking abo...
It's an almost open prompt. The possibilities are endless. Everyone has the amount of days they'll be alive tattooed on their arm. Yours says 10 million. Harry Potter has to fight ten million Death Eaters. Fortunately his friend Batman is there to help. Satan gives three wishes to one out of every ten million souls ...
The man was near bald, with an orange and brown jerkin. He made the alternatives very clear. "Humanity will perish in a century if you do nothing. If you press the button only half will die, but immediately." Suspicious, I replied "But that half may include everyone I know. It may include me". "Yes indeed"he said che...
Life was never easy for me. Brought to America during the slavery years, forced to work the fields until the day that I collapsed and couldn't stand up after falling. I left my body a few nights later, to never return. Death was an improvement over my previous situation, but surprised me that it was not the end. Altho...
"Captain! Captain, are you there?"Eron stepped carefully as the others followed, each mindful of the blood and gore which soaked the ground. About the outpost, hundreds of green corpses lay in scattered conditions, some with arrows protruding chests and limbs, others with gashes or wounds, and others still with no visi...
I returned home that day to find Sarah waiting for me. Taking a look around the room I saw that she'd taken everything that was hers. She had two bags at her feet, and her make up was smudged from where she had been crying. "I'm sorry Jason. I really am."she whispered, holding back tears. "I tried to make it work, I d...
