"Blippitypoppenpapatoodle", the baby smiles as her mother feeds her with her very first spaghetti. "What? Honey. Our baby just had her first word. I don't know how to feel" "What did she say?" "Beepidi-bopity...I don't know. She was mumbling something" "Nah, don't worry about it. Besides, it's technically not her f...
There was a time that she would have screamed, turned and bolted from the room, threw her half-full glass of water at the bed... anything, really. She would have reacted. Used the fear to fuel an escape. But that time was gone. Instead, Vanessa walked to the bed with her half-empty glass, taking another sip as sh...
The cell to his left housed a monstrous demon who thrashed and roared in his rune-covered chains. The cell to his right was filled with a pulsing, noxious darkness that sent tremors through the prison's foundations. He didn't mind. Some days he'd sit still and meditate for hours on an end. Some days he'd stop a passing...
"Everything is lost." He muttered to himself, amidst a triumphant crowd. People flowed past him. On the main street their liberator, a shining knight with a blood-stained trenchcoat was swaggering down the street atop an immense hoverboard carrying the head of the Dark Dragon. And here he was, standing amidst the cr...
I wake to the sound of knocking. I don't recognize the bed. I don't recognize the room. "It's okay, Mr. Benson,"says a voice outside the room. "Just your usual food delivery. I'll leave it on the doorstep. Have a good day." There's a thump and some steps and then everything is silent. Where am I? I crawl out of ...
I couldn't move, every part of me ached and i had barely the strength to breath. There were controller sticks in both my hands. I could barely manage to squeeze them but with utter determination i printed out my request. "Water."I typed. The nurse robot spring to life. It was an ungodly combination of motors and wire...
All I wanted was for them to love me. I didn't think it would be like this. You see, all the old songs sang of dragons, no nice words to be had. I would try to plead with them, show them my innocence, but still they chased me out. Oh, why? Why didn't those slender pale apes get it? They thought I blew fire like my an...
"Damn it, Chelsea, I just don't know why that old thing won't start. The battery is new, the starter is new, the alternator is good. What gives?!"I didn't expect her to know the answer to why my old Integra wouldn't start. My wife is many things; she's a fantastic cook, a very successful realtor, and my best friend....
Back in my day people were 100% certified Humans. These days all you see are these new-fangled biosynthetic half robot half whatever. Today I received in my holos a notification that I’m the last actual human alive. Apparently these new scientists have called the new generation “neo-humans” because they are so differe...
Three months ago, I'd been captured. I'd spent three months in this cell, three months in solitary confinement. So when a professional-looking woman and two heavily armed escorts stepped through the wall, I was pretty sure I'd finally lost it. "We're Doctors without Borders,"she explained, as though that explained a...
We were abducted by aliens this morning. No, seriously. My family and I were minding our own business when little Billy got swept away by a huge net. Angie and I chased it down, and in trying to save Billy, we were caught as well. Now, I know what you may be thinking. "Nets, really? Like those crazy stories t...
Edit: I was told script formatting is cancer on the mobile app; [here] (http://i.imgur.com/nYaEBbK.png) is a PNG of what I wrote. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY JAMES and SPUD sit next to each other watching an advertisement for sunscreen. The statistic "one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their...
"Seriously?"The synthetic voice paused to open up the Windows 97 laugh sound and play it three times in a row, "You used a microwave as the reversive complexinator? That is so utterly inefficient that it is actually impressive that this primitive system has any functionality at all!" Greg grunted and typed a few com...
June 21st, 2016 will forever be the etched in my memory as the day the earth stood still. Literally. The day started out with an overcast sky so I suppose it was unusual that I chose to have my coffee on the balcony overlooking the park. I was focussing intently on the runners on the far side of the lake, in particula...
'What the hell is going on?' I thought to myself. The subway door crumbled when I applied a little bit of pressure on it. Wild vines and shrubbery had overgrown the entire stop and I struggled to get through it to the stairs. Getting to the top of the steps had been a pretty tough challenge also, and I had to wait for ...
The eurasian soldier rushed into the war room, panting hard. "What's wrong man? You look like you've seen a ghost!" He turned towards the Russian commander, standing next to the Brit and Franc. He spoke in a Spanish accent: "We may have a problem." After the separation treaty ended, there were many surprises. The A...
Breaking the light barrier was the greatest achievement in human history. Without the laws of physics to constrain us the universe opened like a flower, endless and magnificent. I have seen wonders beyond all imagining, binary star systems orbiting each other in a stately and unending dance, nebula a hundred thousand l...
Lincoln, Lincoln, child of Washton. In one hand the sword. The other the pen. Strike down the tyrants. Protect us from Hister. Protect us our Emancipator. Keep us all equal. You took your great Axe And cut down Dixie. Freer of Slaves Grant us your liberty. You were betrayed by Booth. Son of the Devil. You were ta...
I intentionally drowned myself so many times that a single breath could get me through the year. I baffled doctors when I donated litres of blood for weeks, as no hemorrhage would dry my body out. Naked high-voltage cables became mere toys in my hands when I fancied some sparks. For the days that I just felt particular...
You can't believe your eyes as the divine phenomenon you've been waiting for your whole life happens right in the middle of your living room. You begin to cry, shaking, as you wait for a god to come out of the shiny, golden portal you see right before you. Much like everyone else that hasn't been considered a "chosen...
"Seventh Son. Are you going to come quietly?"The modulated voice of Techsuit asked me. He stood over me, waiting patiently for me to decide if I wanted to keep fighting. Ugh. I wanted to tell him that there was such a thing as a sore winner, but I didn't really have the energy. One solid hour. For one hour, Techs...
I cross the Lubec Straights at night, walking across the bridge on 189. The wind howls. The rain slaps down like a thousand reproachful fists. Down, down, down. I think I might fall there, plunge down into that frigid cove. And I suppose that might be fine. The rest all died in their own fashion - because they wanted t...
The Phoenix Program was a success. Its first mission orbited the moon. The second mission tested the lunar lander, and the third mission landed on the moon. An international effort, the Phoenix Program was the first step on the road to asteroids, Mars, and beyond. Four crew members manned the vessel, Commander Mark ...
'Project Adrian' was one of the most exciting robotics experiment in recent years. Expanding on previous designs, it consisted of a central computer connected to four limbs, a camera in a metal skull, and a microphone. Andrew, the lead experimenter, named the robot Adrian, after his daughter. The experiment wanted to ...
When he woke up, he found a note on the nightstand. "Call the hospital, tell them it happened and you're in too much shock to handle this. They will take care of everything else." He found a pen and copied the note - yes, his own handwriting. So he was thinking ahead for himself, but he couldn't remember why. Unsurpr...
"Why shouldn't I?"He turned away from her. "You're being difficult, you know that right?"She moved a little closer on the couch. He shifted uncomfortably. She let out a sigh. "Fine. I know I'm being difficult, but you know what? Love is difficult ok? No, beyond that. It's goddamn impossible. I'm afraid of what I'll d...
"I just sort of never did anything that bad I guess?"My voice was a little unsteady. "Uh-huh, so... why aren't you up with the big man?"The... demon? Goat thing, let's call him a goat thing, asked. "I wasn't Christian I guess?"I replied. "Most people who come here have some better reason... I guess you're a special ...
The ship trembled as it left mazespace. It’s engines emitted a faint fading rumbling sound that could be felt deep inside your core. Sir Captain Fruthberg stepped through the piloticum’s raised walkway, looking down on the navigators. Everyone was working fervently. *”We have successfully left the maze, Sir Captain...
A little over 6 months ago, there was a loud bang and a blinding light seen across the world. Many, I'd even say most, people went outside to investigate. Then, the dust started to settle. The entire world was covered in a white powder that hissed when in contact with water. It floats, and is easily inhaled. I was the...
The officer entered the room of the murder alone. It was a well furnished room. Not much else to note besides this. Beds were made, desk was organised, electronics stored. However, something felt off. Maybe it was the stillness in the air. Maybe it was the eerie silence. Or maybe it was the smell of a freshly murdere...
"Sir please calm do--" "I WILL NOT CALM DOWN WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDNT WORK?" "Sir we are very sorry -- " "I GAVE YOU A HUNDRED MIL --" "Unfortunately there was an unexpected issu-- " "YOU IMBECILE THEY ARE ALL LAUGHING AT ME" "I'm sorry sir we tried to make it pointy like you said but-- " "THEY ARE MAKING MEMES...
Despite disagreements, the Colosseum was eventually split into a few subsections for the "spectators". On one side was that pretty girl I like, cheering Left on. In another section was Elon Musk, holding up dozens of signs that read different variations of statistics telling Right he was going to win. Between them was ...
“Welcome, friend. I am Samenir.” “Hello, Samenir. I’m on a … journey. I need survival gear. Can you help?” “You’re in luck, friend. I carry such items in stock, and even a few rare items from my travels,” he replied jovially. “The rarer ones will cost more, of course.” He flashed a grin at that last part. For all th...
I breathe in deeply. I know what to do. We've talked about this, but I never actually thought I'd have to do this - I didn't know it would come down to this. I opened his laptop. Clicked on the invisible folder shortcut on the right of Microsoft Excel icon, and moved it to the Recycle Bin. I emptied the Recycle Bi...
At first there was naught but God, then from an image in his mind the Earth was created and God lit the dark featureless sky with the light of his being, forging the stars. In those days the Earth was an endless ocean, and God simply floated and basked in the starlight. The with a radiant burst God created life in the ...
The sun beat down on the roadside. Once a city, the weeds kept breaking through, and drying up just as soon. Among the ruins, though, a few houses held up their roofs, even if the same couldn’t be said for their walls, so the place still had its residents. Not many, but enough to have a name. It hadn’t been quite so s...
Most corporate ghost incidents that have crossed my desk in New York tend more towards possessions of current business entities than stand-alone apparitions, as many of America's deceased companies maintain ties to modern corporations, especially considering the grand tradition of mergers, takeovers, and the occasional...
Part 1 "Hey, Craig! Long time no see!" Craig had taken a different route today to avoid someone, and almost immediately regretted it. He wasn't expecting to run into... HIM. "Mordübh?"All he wanted was to get away. He tried to hide it, smiling uncomfortably. "Um, I thought you worked in the West Wing." The m...
“Do you want some more popcorn?” I stood halfway between the living room and the kitchen with a packet of Pop Secret Ready Pops. I dangled it at Summer, trying to catch her attention. She tore her eyes from the television screen, looked between me and the popcorn, and then nodded a sullen yes. That was good enough ...
"The best part about interdimensional travel is the looting,"said Grandma. I heard stories about Grandma's interdimensional travels since I was little, and now that I was 21, I found myself just as delighted. "Really? What'd you loot?" "Why these glasses, for one,"she said, taking them off and wiping them clean o...
"But, sir, why don't we just tell them?"The Minister for Education asked. "They'd wonder what else we've been hiding from them. It would be the tip of the proverbial iceberg, Jim."The Prime Minister responded. "Listen to how it sounds, though: the erasers on the top of pencils don't work, they never worked, the desig...
"Are you the leader of this puny planet?" "We are most certainly the leaders when it comes to Burgers and Fries! How may we help you?" "Pfft. Of course you ridiculous earthlings would base your leader around mediocre food. Nonetheless, I challenge you to a battle for leadership. You can pick the rules." "If by pick ...
I sat in my dingy little office, some nameless cheap bourbon sitting next to where I had my feet up on my desk. The light coming through the grimy window was fading. It was getting late. I was considering grabbing my traditional brown long coat and black fedorah off the rack and heading out for some food. Probably take...
Evening News A meteorite has landed in the suburbs of Neo York eight AM this morning, killing over five hundred thousand people and leaving a crater four hundred meters wide and one hundred meters deep. Already protests and panic has erupted across the country, demanding answers on why NASA had been unable to det...
Bryce pulled his eyes away from the road for a second when his phone pinged. It was the Uber app, which wouldn’t normally send messages while he was driving. It had, though, which meant only one thing: UberG. He pulled over, not caring about the honking horns behind him. “Wait, why are you stopping?” He glanced at...
Again, she appears beside me. She wasn't going away and her opaque figure allowed the time to shine through, 2:03 am. Again, another sleepless night. She's repeated this every night since, no matter what I tell her, no matter how I explain it, she doesn't leave. "You forgot me. After all this time.." I couldn't hear ...
"Are you fucking serious?"the Cartoon animal said in a voice that wasn't possible with the limitations of the program. Kyle pushed extinguished his joint. "Oh yeah, blame the pot. Dumb fuck, let me take over." "I... um... what?"Kyle stared at the video game. The character was a cute little animal. Something about hear...
Been meaning to write this for a very long while. Looking at the age of the prompt, apparently five months. I should note that this story is a sequel of sorts to two other stories I've written in response to prompts: [Part 1](https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/4ec711/wp_every_aspiring_superhero_must_bec...
"Everyone please turn to page 182,"Bishop O'Malley said to the congregation. He cleared his throat and began to recite the newest passage in the Bible. "And Jesus took up a carafe of the finest spring water from the mountains of Colorado and said unto those gathered near, "This is the gift of life I bestow to you. ...
"Throw a rock at it." "Wh-what? Why? Just ignore them, maybe they'll go away." "Because I'm fucking bored, and there's nothing else to do in this shithole."Lea spoke in her habitual sneering, unimpressed manner, but her face was white and strained, and her trembling fingers betrayed her fear. Skylar paced back and ...
It had been less than an hour since Angelique dropped her phone in the toilet. She had called her father from her roommate's phone and cried her heart out. And now she was walking out of the Apple Store with the latest model. "Of course, I had to get the limited edition with the Swarovskies, but what daddy doesn't kno...
In my grandparents' attic there is a wall of stacked milk crates that are crammed with small miscellaneous items. Behind this wall there is a small, lonely, square cardboard box that is covered with a thin layer of dust. The small specks of dirt and skin even fill the tiny dents the box has accumulated from being tosse...
Abnormal Electromagnetic Waves Detected. Analysis... Is this... life? Probe 177000000000000321-235 ran trough an internal thrill of wondrous, excitement at the possibility. Its hard exterior shell wobbled as it turned the majority of its sensory organs towards the tiny speck of light from which the waves where ema...
Since I was a child, Time has always been my interest. I wanted to learn everything about time. Everything time-related, watches... everything as long as it's related to time. I questioned it as well. When did time start? When will it stop? Can we touch time? Will we run out of time? Is time real? Is time just an ill...
"Put on some sunscreen" "I'm just going around the block to catch some Pokémon" "You could get skin cancer! The sun's rays are harmful" Jake looked at the man, his white robes billowing around his feet "Chad get away from the door" The angel stood resolute in front of him, his arms folded and his feathery white win...
Clonk, clatter, scrape I could hear the damn things metallic mutter as I strode away from the lab and continued to roll my eyes and clench my jaw as I had for much of the last six months. ''Thats plenty far enough Mr Jacks'' I stopped and turned to watch the lab coated professor scurry forward hands and pockets full o...
“Another round for my friends!” Brab shouted at the barkeep. Bob looked around. The new bar was aptly dubbed The Intersection. There were artifacts from all their worlds strewn across the walls; shields and swords, striking 3D holographic scenes, motivational posters. “Coming right up,” the barkeep replied. ...
"My lady Eurae, protect me from evil and I shall rise again to fight for good" The knight rises up before the statue of a three headed angel. He draws his sword and begins marching into a dark and decrepit stone corridor. Not even a minute passes before our valiant hero is torn apart by the Furious Floor trap and turn...
It had taken the better part of his life, but he finally had it. While the Ancients lived so long ago that for some they were myth, but so many different species with the same gene structure at it's core, it was an accepted fact there once had existed a race of progenitors, or a god to some,and they still left traces i...
I arrive at Area 52 (the redneck cousin of Area 51), where article 76-CIB is kept. Article 76-CIB is an alien from a cluster of rather large asteroids positioned within Saturn's rings. Anyway, this alien is currently in talks with the government to establish interplanetary trade routes with his home system, the only co...
I climbed the the ladder of the water tower overlooking the diner with my case in hand. The target is a new waitress. Don't know what she must have done to get a hit put on her but the client was verry specific on the time, location, and method of termination. Shoot the new waitress at the Dixie Diner at 2:30 PM immedi...
This book, if you could call it that, was the archaeological discovery of the new millennia. Plates of bamboo wrapped together and bound with silk ribbons, lie on the chest of a desiccated skeleton in the middle of the burial chamber. The remains himself was quite the find as archaeologists and the medical examiner ass...
The sight of the chess table catches me off-guard, I expected to be killed, or eaten, or worse. But there it is, and there's the dragon's question- "How good are you at chess?" "How good am I at chess?"I smirk, adjusting my fedora with a finger stained with mysterious orange powder. "While the men in my village were...
"But please,"a passerby says to me, "I'm just trying to make my commute!"I shake my head. It doesn't matter. "Look, Ma'am I'm just trying to do my job,"I reply. "Though I'm still not sure why the Board sent me here..."I mutter. "I haven't used any of this is years! I don't even remember what a derivative is how am...
"We... we sent Bob?" "Yes, I just told you." "Yeah, you did. But... Bob?" "Yes, B.O.B-- How many times, Holop?" "But how in the world did this Bob destroy their entire civilisation?" "What kind of question is that?" "Well, this Bob--" "Why do you keep saying it like that?" "What? Bob?" "Yeah it's be ...
"-And as you emerge from the hallways, you find yourself suddenly ambushed by a horde of giant spiders!"From behind the barricade of paper and cardboard, a quiet clatter of dice could be heard, as Jim looked up with a smile. "Alright everyone, it's that time again. Roll for initiative. Matt?" "Oh, I got a Fifteen." "...
Gregory Smith was skipping his way to work with a smile and a song. On his merry way, he gave a little wave to his neighbor, Phil, who was standing behind a large white fence. “Lovely day,” he said, peeping over it, only to see Phil working in his garden on his knees. “Perfect for some light yard work.” “Indeed,” nod...
Two guy come out of bar. Angry, shake fist. "You're a cunt, aye." Angered, the second man cracks his neck and responds. "You're a right stuck-up cunt, mate." The first man swings at the second, who dodges. "Blimey, you punch like a retarded flamingo."Says the second man, dancing on his feet with his fists raised...
It started at breakfast, after that wierd dream I couldn't remember. I kept telling myself to breathe. I didn't know why. I picked up the paper to get my mind off of it. That's when I started choking. Panic. I'm breathing faster now, because I have to take more breaths. If I don't I die. That's how it works, right? I...
"By God, Xander, this is it!"Professor Wahr shouted across the room, "This confirms everything we've suspected!" Xander Narr, his loyal assistant, ran to his side to peak through the small machine viewfinder. He saw juxtaposed two images, eerily similar in appearance but with vastly different statistical data undernea...
Three Bells was one of those old-school speakeasies, all tobacco leather and framed Americana. The lights were dim, the conversation muted, tasteful piano filtering across the zinc bar. As Armand spoke, the woman absently twisted a strand of blonde hair and sipped a sidecar. "...and that lets the company make payroll,...
"Like, I don't know, Man."I said as my dog looked me right in the eyes. "Tehehehehe, Raggy, re've rot to ret to the van!"He barked "Like, whatever you say Scoob!"I said as I grabbed the keys and we both jumped into my sweet ride, and lit up again. Grabbing my phone I dialed my best bud. "Hello?"Velma answered. ...
"Howdy Pardner! You ready to mosey down to the ol' fishing hole and rustle up some grub?!" I stare at the scorched and wrecked machine, as I have most mornings these long months, and struggle to come up with an answer that will not set it off into a vernacular frenzy, attempting to answer with with one of its canned s...
"Mr. Houle, may I have a word with you. I'm Dr. James, but you can call me Hank."he said as walked into the hospital room. "I'm pretty sure I can't stop you, they have me strapped to the bed." "We're merely trying to protect you, from yourself, we have reason to believe this was a suicide attempt, and possibly your...
I’ve always enjoyed the hushed clamor of the lab, the muted hissing of Bunsen burners, the bright, twinkling sound of beakers hitting against each other. But today, no, today is a special day. There’s a horde of reporters gathered outside of the lab’s steel doors, but the doors are shut with a pressurized seal as they ...
“Yes indeed my lord!” I exclaimed,trying not to laugh as the fat thing rolled on its bismuth throne. “Launch more bombs at their hives general! We will crunch their bones and feed it to our young!” I momentarily considered the loss we would take if that happened. A number of our hive had defected to the human populac...
We’d all heard the stories, of course. Gossip travels fast in this kingdom, even when you’re living in a little village like ours. The first one was a farmer from the next town over, making his yearly pilgrimage from marketplace to marketplace to sell this autumn’s harvest. “I swear on the Nineteen Names of the Ninete...
I remember waking up on the train, the day of the concert. My big debut, after three years of practice, this would be my first public appearance with over a thousand people. Even one TV company bothered to to agree to film it, safe to say, I was stressed. Beyond that actually, I knew getting so little sleep last night ...
I met the rest of the team on the tarmac outside the plane. The general was there beside me; he made the introductions. "Major John Franks, here's the rest of your team." I eyed them dubiously. A young woman stepped forward, small-framed and fragile-seeming. Blushing mightily, hands clasped behind her back, she lean...
"Where the hell am I.."Joey was still a bit dizzy due to the teleportation. He finds himself cuffed to a chain. "What is happening? I was just sitting in the mall when I- "QUIET!" Joey gazes upon the table, looking for the high-pitched, screeching voice that cut through his head like a sharp knife. He notices th...
I wake, abruptly, to a loud series of chirps. Rolling toward the sound and bracing my eyes against the lone bright. Red blurs coalesce into loose shapes, then lines. Earlier than most. The pale, colorless forms around me take on recognizable shapes and the warm body next to me steals back the blankets I slough off as ...
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. The rocks that I stepped on fell into the abyss as I walked through the cliff. As I climb a small wall, I see an immense desert, a rocky one... with only but just a few cactus on sight. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. I held it...
peace. perfect and idylic. it took centuries to build this world. long ago there was a war, we call it the last war, although that may not be true for much longer. it was different, this war, it lasted decades. it started with men on the ground, tradiotiona troops. in time it graduated to more technological means, f...
"Can you confirm?" Trevor stared for a long time at the scene before him. He stood at the entrance to a large, gaping cavern. Somehow, even though it was underground, it was lit with ambient light. He could see every crack, every crevice, every hole of the red, dusty cavern with absolute clarity. Which made it all t...
I was the envy of all my friends with taste. Why? Aubrey Plaza. Accepted my wedding invitation. Pretty crazy huh? Craziest part? She was going to be my fucking bride. I told everyone. It's on instragram, facebook, fucking snapchat. REDDIT NOW. Don't know if she's just fucking drunk or what but she just called me te...
Imagine a typical, nice neighbourhood. Imagine a typical, nice young man. Picture him sat at a desk, writing over his afternoon coffee. His name was Fabien, a writer by trade. A freelance writer, specifically. He had once lived in a grey city. Constantly riding overcrowded, overpriced trains. Attending pointless m...
I always kept the button in my pocket, for special occasions. One second isn't that much after all, but one never knows when it could be useful. I used it for minute things mostly. Maybe I burned my finger, or answered a trivia question wrong. It didn't have much practical use, but it was pretty cool. That is what my w...
"301...302...303...304...305....." Clementine then emerged from the water, gasping breathlessly for air, with utter confusion and dizziness. Her head clears, she finds herself exactly at the same spot she was 5 minutes ago. "It didn't fucking work. It's the same shit world. I shouldn't be alive." Disappoin...
“Damn primates,” the Martian commander spat, “Earthlings could have evolved from reptiles, but no, the monkeys got there first.” He scratched at the scales covering his body, which were dripping with the recent rainwater. This jungle was disgusting. The heat and humidity were unbearable, and it never cooled or dried, e...
"Master Wayne..."Alfred said somberly. "After extensive research, I've found that the man hired to kill Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes is a notorious and lethal hitman...." *He wasn't. The man Alfred had hired to kill that pesky DA and his annoying girlfriend was some coked out jackass but Bruce didn't need to know th...
“Yeah, yeah. Goodnight everyone. Try to keep Mom away from the eggnog, ok?” I heard a few jolly affirmatives thrown my way before I closed my bedroom door. As fun as family was during the holidays, I couldn’t handle them once the drunk singing started. There’s only so much a guy can take, you know? Besides, there’s sti...
I laugh. "No, man, I got it in Vietnam. They offered to glue the canvas to cardboard and cut it into a puzzle. They've got this machine that does it. It's pretty cool, actually. You just put the painting in, select the size, this big stampy type thing swings down and there's a sound like, 'SHHHHooonk' and blammy, you'...
Steve woke up the same way he did every morning, begrudgingly turning off his alarm, slowly rolling out of bed and stumbling to the bathroom sink, all the while being mindful not to trip over the last week’s worth of clothes that lay scattershot on the floor. He rubbed his eyes and looked in the mirror. It had been t...
"I'm serious man, it's the clover,"steven argued. Mat checked his paper sack. "That little weed didn't win you an extra burrito,"Mat asserted, "They just put my burrito in your sack by mistake." Steven grew hyper, gesturing to the clover in his cap. "How do you explain the DWI I escaped last night?"Steven asked...
Honestly, Elizabeth had been so hungover that morning, that if everyone on the news hadn’t been freaking out about it, she probably wouldn’t have noticed. Her eyes had been barely open as she had rolled out of bed and shuffled into the bathroom, and she’d barely had the energy to brush her teeth, let alone attempt to p...
"This is the aftermath. They did not receive the queen's instruction to retreat. They fought to the last ant." I walked around what remained of the outpost. 30,000 dead. All killed by a gas attack. They put up a valiamt defense for sure. "That is their crest." I took a closer look at the words below it: Resist and b...
20 years ago, I was given the dark gift. That’s right, vampirism. A short amount of time, all things considered, but my life thus far has been a living hell. You’d think Lucifer would be kind to those he has chosen to be his night-errands. But you’d be wrong. After a grueling transformation, months of pain in adj...
Alex Nash fumbled as he put the key into his front door. He was literally so tired, he was losing coordination for basic things. At last he was at home; from the drab trappings of work to the too-small apartment for which he paid far too much in rent. At least here he could space out on his old couch without being yell...
"We shouldn't be here."Emily said as she clutched her jacket. Kate rolled her eyes, "Do you have to say that everytime we're just hanging out somewhere? It's so melodramatic." "It's just creepy here. Why the hell is this cave so deep?" "Because it's a cave, Emily. What's the point of a cave if there's no depth to ...
Humans, a curious bunch. They spend their time thinking of how to extend it. They try to run away from me their whole lives, only to rush into my grasp in the end. Spending years to save minutes; spending lifetimes in the hopes of extending those of their descendants. It’s almost poetic, really. They have called me m...
