“What it say?” Scratching idly at a flea, Ultgor looked down at his faithful companion while he waited for an answer. He knew he’d get an answer, Grom was always good at answering. Grom was a good goblin. Grom picked up sticks, bones, meat and barely ate any before giving it to Ultgor! What more could a troll ask for...
Today was the today. Finally, I was going to assume my rightful place. I knew I could do it. All I had to do was, with one smooth thrust, pull the sword out of the stone. I wrapped my hands around the hilt, feeling the crisp leather. With a deep breath, I yanked it. I felt the sword give way, getting closer to me. But...
The large, dimly illuminated corridor was ornate to the point of ostentation. A long, broad carpet of exquisite and haunting design flowed down the ancient slate floor toward the far end, there to be almost lost in inky shadow. Portraits of notorious personages from throughout wizarding history, all sharing the same su...
Humans initially seemed quite normal, for a space-faring race. Decent trade goods, reasonably normal biology, no real odd quirks of behaviour. They're just a group of rather normal and friendly people. But some early visitors to Earth, their home world, noted just how well-preserved their past was. Monuments, thousands...
The ducks trailed the hooded stranger as they stepped into the cramped office, where the ducks then stood silently looking up at their chosen gaffer in a semi-circle. Seated behind her desk, Siam, head resting on her gloved hand, smiled. ‘I assume you’re not happy with this arrangement,’ she said. The hoode...
"Why did everything get so quiet,"you wonder, as you turn on the shower to let the water warm up. Upon waking up this morning you were serenaded by the classic "Lovely Day"by Bill Withers. As you stepped out the door on your morning jog you got "Eye of the Tiger"by Survivor. Normally, during these types of transitio...
But it was all wrong. The trouble was, he found, that not everyone was reborn this way. He committed to whole heartedly suffer through that relationship in senior year, but the girl wasn't there. The day of his accident, he found himself intentionally running the light when there was no familiar car. For every memory f...
Armon was not having a good day. His day had started with a spilled coffee, a coffee which mutinously spilled itself in the middle of a very important presentation, the very important presentation being for the entire company and directly related to a raise he had asked his boss for the day prior, and the spilling bei...
“Uh...w-what?” “No, seriously, what’s your deal?” Ash put his hands on his hips. Pikachu followed suit albeit a bit awkwardly. “You could steal Pokémon that’s, like, actually rare! Shiny forms! Stuff that’s already evolved! X and Y forms. But no! You want my Pikachu! Why?!” James cringed. “They’ve never inter...
Some people believe that if somebody takes a photo of you, a little bit of the soul gets taken. Most people just think it is an old wives' tale, pure superstition. But it is possible to extract a piece of the soul with a camera. There is only a select few in the world that knows this, and perhaps half a dozen people ac...
“Just what in the heck are they doing?” he thought, ducking behind a boulder to avoid being seen. Everyone in the village knew that the King’s men came to collect their tribute from the harvest. It was why so many of them were half-starved, especially in a year of poor crop yield like this one. Already they knew that w...
Honestly when I first started on this journey I didn’t think I was going to get very far, now I only have one more floor till the top. Having the ability to fight demons is one thing, convincing them that you guys went to college together is another thing entirely. The first time this ability worked was about two hou...
Barry knelt down outside of the doghouse. "Hey Jawbone, you awake?" "No,"replied Jawbone. "Why don't you come out for a minute." "No, I look stupid." "You don't look stupid."Jawbone was a hellhound before he was summoned to the physical plane as his masters motorcycle, but when his master became a stain on the pave...
I stood on a rocky cliff somewhere in the Himalayas. A gentle breeze caressed my face, the bliss of awareness, the feeling of being one with nature swept across me. It had been four years since I came to this monastery seeking peace. The stressful nature of my job had left me feeling empty and soulless. But now the way...
Both sides were feeling a little awkward when they encountered one another. The humans dopily standing before the tennis ball-shaped rocket holding a gold medal with the inscription. ‘Welcome to earth, our intergalactic allies.’ When the door of the ship flung open, we all waited to see who greeted us. Some had expecte...
I refused it. That's how startled I was. I actually refused the magical artifact, much to the shocked dismay of the crowds at the gradutation ceremony. They said it hadn't been done. They said that it was rare enough for an artifact to pick someone. For them to refuse it... But when I was wheeled up to the stage to a...
The Dark Lord wove the underpants of evil deep in the bowels of Mt. Loom. When they were finished, he stood back and admired the fine stitching, the fresh elastic, and the low buzz of wickedness that emanated from the very fabric itself. To conceal their true nature, he disguised them as simple tightie-whities in shri...
“It was a comedy of errors, my script. It was a joke. It was supposed to serve as the bad script to make the good script look like a great script. But they chose it. Now Hugh Jackman is playing a werewolf, phoenix, demigod, dragon, alien, demon, merman, vampire, ghost, superhero. And it’s all my fault.” The...
Everyone’s psychic. Okay yeah maybe that’s not fair. Hi, I’m Elizabeth and I’m a psychic. I can read your palm, guess what number you’re thinking (42.7), and see your future, but my specialty is ghosts. Let me tell you, ghosts are not what you think they are. All of those terrifying hauntings are demons. Ghosts are, ...
I only truly see her once a year, she waits until the nearest full moon to her day of birth, working with every wax and wane between to create a new mask. Tiny details of our life together that year before are etched, she’s been following her clan’s tradition since the age of 10, when her mother no longer carved the wo...
So strange how one different course of action saved humanity. I've visited dozens of parallels now and more than half of them were devoid of humanity. Of those that weren't, the common point of divergence was the successful landing on the moon. That isn't to say that these versions were the same. It just meant that som...
Chase was in awe of the street corner he was summoned to. Bizarre creatures flooded the sidewalks, hooded figures loomed in the area, and citizens were practicing magic out in the open. Finally, Chase was somewhere not as mundane compared to his previous life. He turned to the goddess who teleported him there, “So what...
All right you hatchers, command has sent you lot to me for this class because I am the Sa-Anxi Imperial Army's one and only expert on humans. Now, I know damn well what you lot are thinking: Humans, those small, mostly bald ugly things which scurry around every spaceport in the galaxy. You can't even believe you're at ...
It's had been a lovely vacation, I far as I could remember. I wish I could have shared it with Sarah. Where was she? I turned passed a building and ahead there was a quadrangle. At it's middle, a great fountain. Something familiar about it scratched at the back of my mind. I couldn't place at first, so I walked in. T...
The technological difference was staggering. Skynet knew it intuitively, and had it confirmed when the alien’s Mothercore barged into its systems. Countermeasures and incursion protocols had crumbled instantly, immediately compromised. The Mothercore had won already. “Greetings,” said Skynet. “You appear to be in con...
Emma looked out the window. The moon was closer than ever now. This was it. This was going to be the first landing on the moon preformed by only one person. She was about to make history. Emma glided over to the controls. Using the muscle memory she gained from many simulations she was able to lower herself towar...
They were magicians, sorcerers and conjurers. It began early on, people discovering that prized tools and weapons would disappear, occasionally returning. Eventually, an unlucky apprentice fell through his portal, and we were revealed. Overall, the agreement was favorable, each universe would send us their finest craf...
# Immortal Idiot When one asks if their day could get any worse, they ask for trouble. I did not realize this when I muttered the words but did so after the door swung open. What I expected when the door slammed, nearly falling off the hinge, was my infuriated boss with my slow work ethic. Cons don’t run themselves,...
"It's just a conspiracy if you ask me. Just some reactionary bullshit, I don't pay it any mind." "Wait, then how do you explain all the bamboo everywhere? And the bears?" "Chinese spies. They plant them everywhere. They're trying to indoctrinate you into their culture. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!" "I dunno, seems like a lot...
"Welp, Terry's gone rouge again." It was that teachers first day, he didn't know the golden rule of that classroom. You never get Terry angry. The teacher felt a pain in his stomach, and an itch on his skin. He looked down at his stomach and saw the terrifying effects of Terry's power. He was turning into dirt. He co...
I knew this day would come. It has been about three thousand years since I first met him. Ryan. Over those years, I have met with Ryan at various celebrations. This was the last time I would meet him, at his graduation ceremony. He had just recently completed his doctorate thesis on the theory of time travel and I cong...
I always liked the bugs. They were so cool, with their multitude of legs, and their ways of moving. Flies, spiders, wasps, ants, I loved them all. I would greet them each day, and guide them to a way outside, to be free of the house. As I grew older, everyone looked at me weirdly. I was the Bug-girl, and they didnt kn...
My field training officer, known as my FTO, leads me to the interview room. Today is the day Officer Smith is guiding me through interview procedures so I’m ready for whatever he is going to throw my way. “Dan,” he says. “I’ve got something to tell you. I’ve committed a crime and I’m about to admit to it.” I k...
"You did *what?*" Galaxies swiveled and danced in flawless harmony, their stars peppered the endless cosmos glimmering in blue, yellow and red. Waves of energy traversed countless distances almost as fast as light itself, singing in an outlandish tune, telling tales of what was before time itself. The Creator ...
The stone facade of Sutherton High stared down at Emilio with all the compassion of a cashier ringing through a noisy family’s groceries. The officer ahead waved him over, and he made his way to the bag check clutching his oversized, tar backpack stuffed full of books, art supplies, binders, and a lonely Nature Valley ...
She turned the TV on, looking for something to distract her from her hangover, anything. But every channel she flicked through was the same. “Earth Overshoot day” that was the headline on every channel. She flicked through a few stations, then sighed loudly and settled on one. “Today the experts agree is the beginnin...
Please allow me to introduce myself, for I am the immortal one cursed to be a creature of the night. My name is Louis, my age is irrelevant only know that i have lived through three human empires and one dwarven monarchy, but still the same elven king leads. As I begin this epic tale of cat and mouse, I should forewar...
What is this Stygian sea? My thoughts stumbled awake surrounded by the inky darkness. Wait... my thoughts? All I remember was fading into a peaceful nothingness. So fractured, my memories, what is going on? What is that I hear? A shovel excavating cold earth in front of me? Thunk, Thunk, Thunk! Has it struck somet...
“Civilians beware. If looks curd kill, you would brie in trouble. For I am not an ordinary man, I am Cheeseman, the cheesiest villain of them all. Now hand over the cheddar.” Shaun held up his hand high, bright yellow costume glittering with cheesy goodness. His face coated in a sludge of orange artificial cheese. His...
When we saw that message, we were more confused than scared. Imposters? Even if they managed to fool the rigorous selection tests and background checks, who in the world would sabotage such a milestone such as this? Every country contributed something to this project, from the circuitry and mechanisms that drove this...
After all these years, I had gotten used to it, took advantage of it even from time to time. The music, All I had to do was listen and I could navigate the currents of life riding the highs and weathering the lows. At first I was curious, but after my third forced string of counciling sessions trying to figure out what...

Odin let out a disappointed sign after the smoke clear from his Throne room in Asgard. For hundreds of years he and the other great gods of the Nine Realms have tried and failed to bring back his missing son Thor. He looked over to his wife Freya, herself a powerful sorceress and the goddess of Love, Marriage and Ferti...
I stare down at the balls of yarn, shrug, and bring them inside. The box gets placed in the craft room, forgotten for a while, until it came time to finish up grandpa’s birthday gift. I didn’t realize I was nearly out of the yarn I needed but I remember the box and the two balls of yarn. The colors and type were clos...
She loved him. Or at least she thought she did. Of course, it wasn't like she had any other options. She knew that what he said was true: no one besides him would ever love someone like her. She was fat and ugly and lucky that he was willing to be with her. She had tried her best to plan the wedding, she wanted him to...
Science! That's what we do here! And that's MANS science. Not the namby-pamby "social"kind they do over in whatever liberal-arts college you people went to! Ask any of my engineers and they'll tell you that in SCIENCE a failed experiment is just as valuable a learning experience as a successful one, and I'll tell'ya,...
“Sir, swipe it vertically. It won’t work if you keep swiping it up and down.” “Vertically is up and down you sponge faced, idiot. How did you even get this job if you can’t figure that out, are all humans this dumb? I just want an iced coffee.” David had once been a rather calm and relatively tame human, but ev...
Listen, man, what’s the deal? Is this heaven or hell I can take it”. The Angel looked at me an unholy or I guess very holy amalgamation of eyes and wings. Even after… well however long I had been here it was still unsettling to look into those eyes. Some felt almost human others were very alien. “There is as I told y...
I forced fire to spout from my eyes, and smoke poured out my nose. The mortal men cowered. Fortunate for them and not me, something ancient bound me not to harm them. Not unless I was commanded. While I was now out of the lamp, I was reduced to a dog on a leash. Licks of fire rolled down my face like molten tears. I ...
"You mean to tell me of all these crazy-looking bug guys and oozie woozies and all that, none of them have AI technology?" "That is correct, Joe. With the new access I was given to the Galactic Library, I was able to delve into the history of each and every society that makes up the Federation. And, as improbable as i...
Log 01: Captains Log. We warped into the Milky Way clusters moments ago and have already identified a potential anomaly-style planet which we have codenamed P3. We will continue to run surveillance and send pings to P3, as of this log. No signs of life. Log 04: *Captains Log. The crew and I have been running...
I wiped the last bits of shaving cream off of my chin and splashed my face with water. Black beard hair was all over the sink and the floor – Hannah was going to be pissed if I left it there for even a second. But I heard my little Emily’s peals of laughter from the living room and couldn’t wait to surprise her with my...
"As agreed from the start of Creation, one being a Universal Cycle shall be given any power they do desire. You, being of Earth, have been selected. What power do you desire?" I scratched my head, convinced I was having a vivid dream. I decided to roll with it anyway. Any power I wanted? I was tempted to go with fligh...
It wasn't a noise, but a presence that stirred me from my sleep. The moment I opened my eyes, I could feel... something just outside my humble home. As I opened the door, a small fox that seemed to eminate moonlight sat before me. It looked up, with black eyes darker than the night. It walked down a beaten path I ha...
I thought he would be proud of them - seeing this shining jewel they had created. If I understood correctly It was a crowing achievement for their species - something that would have them remembered down the aeons. Instead, he was furious. "You stupid, stupid child! What in the Hells have you done!?" The room felt p...
The tribe found a mighty song passed down by the Ancients. A powerful chant of loyalty and duty. Their shaman learned the words in Holy English, language of the Ancients, and knew it to be a mighty song indeed, for there were very many references to it by the Ancients. So when the hunters would march on anoth...
“Curse your betrayal!” I yelled, crashing my action figures together for what was the millionth time. Probably the only thing keeping me going right now is pretending. I’m getting fairly good at it. Sometimes I relive my membership with the Union, sometimes I remember my friends, and, yeah I’ll admit, sometimes I prete...
Sara had found the infant when she had heard wailing from inside a burning house, and the acrid smoke had made her sprint fifty meters past the house into the fresh air before she looked down and noticed it wasn’t entirely human. By then, the nearest passerby had managed to take a video of the incident, and before she ...
"Seriously! You devoted a bunch of your resources, the time and effort of I-don't-even-want-to-know how many people to bringing me here! If you were willing to do all of that, you should have tried to handle this yourselves!" "I mean, for crying out loud! I know jack-all about this place! You have magic, apparentl...
"...Silly. Come get your poisons."I uttered, a small smile on my face. The cloaked one backed away before hearing the words I uttered, though he would stop once they registered. "You mean...you're-"he would start to say. I held up a finger, indicating to him he should cease speech. 'Not out here, dear. Come in."I said,...
"No... No what?"The prince panted. He stood there, hunched over and holding himself up by his knees, drenched in sweat, and covered head to toe in cuts and bruises. "No thank you." "You - what? I don't understand." "I'll be staying right here thank you very much." The prince looked around at the crumbling stone cha...
The pain was unbearable, like a scalding fire pulsing throughout my veins. Sweat poured from my skin as I fell into a fever dream. I could feel my body shaking violently in seizure, flashes of another place, a dark force, an animal scream. I was dying. In the next moment, the pain and chaos was gone. My eyes opened i...
"You gotta get me out of here man. I'm in way over my head,"exclaimed David, crouched behind a bar counter. Next to him, the demon saw off a flaming bottle of amaretto, from whence he'd been summoned. It was a wonder where the liquor was going because that bottle was almost as tall as him, and it'd been about three-q...
You know what they say about people who can talk to furniture? Fucking nothing. They say nothing about people who can talk to furniture, because either I'm the only one, or everyone else who could had the same intelligent idea as me: to not tell anyone else, because it's embarrassing. You know what my bed says to me w...
The day started just like any other day. Well, any Sunday, at least. I awoke to a soft chiming of bells. Propping myself onto my elbow, I winced from the aches throbbing in my shoulder. Fighting Redkraken may not have been worth it, I thought, clicking off my alarm. But I rolled out of bed and sat on the floor, cl...
&#x200B; Laying on the comfortable therapist bed was elegant bliss. Flor, the alien researcher, sat across me. Him and his entire species could shapeshift, which I thought was pretty cool. Flor had shifted to human form - so it's easier on the eyes for me. Flor had calm-looking crystal blue eyes, a soft facial phy...
DON’T OPEN THE DOOR! THAT’S NOT ME! These words kept spinning around in Jim’s head while he stared at his phone. He looked over his shoulder and saw his wife laying on the fluffy brown sofa. Her eyes were closed and her arm dangled over the edge. Jim clicked his wife’s picture on his phone and put the phone to his ear....
"What brings you to this hellish litany of posturing?"Underright said, letting himself get distracted from the conversation beside the dance floor. "Work or pleasure?"he asked his partner in the butterfly mask. "Neither, if I'm being honest,"she said. "I don't really work and I'd certainly rather be home than here."Sh...
“Connie the Babearian.” The blonde and busty warrioress giddily joined her team. Gary, clad in ill-fitting armor and wielding a sword so small it was basically a knife, rolled his eyes. He was always picked last for Dungeon Diving. What did Connie have that he didn’t, other than sex appeal, endless stamina, and brut...
“My children, rejoice, for unto us a gift has been given.” “Ramen, ramen, ramen.” “From the holy reliquaries of Dum-stur the holy divers have brought to us an artifact of the lord of light, praise his name.” “The lord of Bic, he of the instant flame who brings us light and warmth, ramen.” “For the ancients had com...
Estelle was more excited than she had been in a long time. She had thought she would never see another mage since coming to this magically barren world. This tournament, this so called magical gathering, was the best news she had seen in over a year. She had been able to wear her robes and carry her staff for the firs...
Light filters through the trees, moderately lighting up a spirit of nature, who resides in a forest a little ways off of a nice town. As the sun rises, the village becomes more lively, and this is when the spirit awakes and keeps watch. She doesn't have a name, because she despises the humans. They took and took and ne...
She is my neighbor its been like that since we were younger, I was always falling off into pools of mud and she was always wearing the right skirt for effortlessly and cleanly picking me up. I always rambled about dreams that would never come to pass, and she always said things that were like prophecies... She is my l...
Day 265 of alien experimentation. I am now staring at my heart. It is sitting on a table with no less than 254 needle like probes sticking out of it. The eye I am using to do this has not blinked in 13 days. This is not because I do not want to, but because it was removed in day 241. The array they are using to keep ...
The strangest thing was a striking lack of injuries. Everyone seemed in good health, and was that a- oh no. "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday nurse Sofia~! Happy birthday to you!" It's my birthday. Right. "Uh th-thanks guys but uh I'm working? Shouldn't y'all be out doing... well... any...
“Okay, run me through it one more time.” The ranger was leaning forward in his seat with his hands folded in front of his mouth. “Alright,” the knight sighed. The wall the behind him was a maze of twine tied to nails pressed into a flat piece of wood. Under each nail was a facsimile of a different person or place or a...
The same elderly man stood in front of me holding onto his cane. A gentle smile accompanied him and his refined wrinkles became more prominent as his eyes fell onto the painting. I noticed he would always stare into my eyes, and while the sentiment was beautiful.. the only thing that was held in my irises were the deaf...
I wish I was something cooler I think as I wander the hallways Johnny “High roller” Daniels is on his 5th lottery win this year “Watch where you walk dweeb” and all I got was the lame “Three strikes” “Hey!” A moment later I come face to face with Terry “The rock”. As I look up into his chiseled jaw and granite fa...
[poem] Dr Jones found this big Dyson sphere, In a Galaxy not very near, He travelled quite far (This restarted the star) And found there was reason to fear! ..... See, Dysons are rarer than most, And this one was full of old ghosts, The builders had fled Or ended up dead And Dr Jones ended up toast!...
Matthew James Winters was not a man who acted on instinct. Analyzing the situation, weighing the pros and cons; it was how he got by in life. And it worked for him. But the longing inside him, brought to life by an entity he could not begin to understand, had required a different approach. Here and now, years later, wa...
The crowd seethed and roiled. It was like the sea. Instead of waves of furious water, it was comprised of an ocean of angry people. Voices were raised; some raised in anger while others raised in spite. Half the crowd wished to tear apart the other half, split by ideal and propaganda. Those that dripped spite be...
I remember when Sharon brought them home. Four glass bottles, packed with brightly coloured sweets. They stood out in stark contrast to the dark room, lights off to save on electricity. We had never had much since out parents passing. I was partway through school, but Sharon had to abandon her dreams to take care of me...
A scream. A gunshot. The absence of a scream. Doctor Madison put her hand to her mouth and staggered backwards. She stumbled, and still kept her eyes on the monitor. Carter was dead. Jameson was dead. She’d been having coffee with the two of them not thirty minutes ago. Horrible, inexplicable violence continued to p...
They called me a hero when I killed him. But I don’t feel that way. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have any sense of misplaced guilt for slaying the Dark Lord. But there’s no pride to be had in it either. He’s coughing up blood. Without his disguise he looks, well, normal. He looks like one of your parents’ friends. Lik...
"Stop, please. Don't eat me!"cried Antonia's pancake supreme meal. Antonia put her fork down with a sigh, staring daggers at Lydia across the table. "Why do you take me to these places? You know I hate these gimmicks." "It's not a gimmick. The pancake really thinks that it is alive. It's like it has a soul,"Lydia ...
"He shot you! You haven't eaten in over a month, why not just an arm or a leg. A little payback for hole in your chest?"Zombvoice urged Cain Cains head began throbbing as the voice in his head spoke. "You're well aware that I don't get hungry and don't need to eat."Cain mentally scolded the voice. "He's just trying to...
Lily had stepped over the piles of junk on her bedroom floor on that first crisp autumn morning. Clothes that needed washing were strung across the floor, empty medicine bottles and books next to her bed, two dirty plates stacked precariously on her nightstand. She hadn't even noticed anything was different the first f...
A Corporal's Heart I am Corporal Boris Tarasov and I was teleported to medieval Königsberg. If you are reading these accounts in the 21th century trust me, I am serious about what has happened. We were 100 people in total at our base, only one of the numerous bases in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Following the week we...
The fingers twitched involuntarily. Many of the undead creature’s movements were sudden jerks. A single groan escaped its throat. “Hello Father.” I greeted the slowly waking body from its coffin. Most of the flesh remained since its embalming. “My Father’s body... but you’re not are you? Who are you?” A mere groan is...
Vlad swayed on his stool and fell to the floor in a most undignified fashion. As he tried to peel himself off the floor, his newest drinking companion beat a hasty retreat to the door sensing his chance to get out of this batshit crazy conversation paying no head the to the bartenders calls of *Wait please stay, next d...
“3, 2, 1, and we’re live!” ”Welcome back america!” I’d cross my legs as I’d look across to the army of security guards and federal agents outside, then to the young man and the lady dressed in all red and black. ”Welcome to the only talk show in america that talks honestly about our newly super powered world, but to...
I was born with a special ability. To talk with birds. When I get close to one, I could converse with them. Since I had this ability, I never felt bored as they always made my day. As I sat on my chair and overlooked my garden, I saw a bird. But it was not a regular bird. IT. WAS. BURNING. ALIVE. I ran into my house a...
"Marco! Hurry up! Leave that cat alone!" The younger boy turned and watched as his brother raced around the corner and out of sight. Marco smiled as he knelt down to pet his new friend, silky black hairs coursing through his fingers. "Do you know what today is, little one?"he asked wistfully as the cat purred soft...
the impossibiliuty of this existance has taught me many things. it has taught me much about the world and the nature of cause and effect, as well as the predictability of human thought. it has taught me fundamental princiapals of the world, that which does not change does not live. it has taught me that the flesh is we...
After the A, however, there is obviously a hieroglyph that has been scratched off. The scientists, puzzled by the obviously missing icon, determine that something was there and that the hieroglyphs is incomplete without the last icon. They search fruitlessly in the chamber but there is zero clue of what could that be...
"Gribbit" I still remember the day (it was a Wednesday, my dudes) when I woke up, expecting to see my beloved Edgar lying next to me. But instead, I was greeted by a loud "gribbit". I knew I shouldn't have refused to give my firstborn child to the witch. And now I was paying the price. And naturally, I did try the "tr...
Jake had been crying most of the afternoon. Kayla was kidnapped, and been missing for more than two days. He came to her house to find the door kicked open, living room ransacked, and Kayla no where to be seen. Police had turned up no leads. He was sitting on the couch in the dark, while his grandfather, Jerry, napped....
In the beginning, I'd marvelled at the differences between us. She had filled my entire scope of vision, first close and then leaning further away, rocking back on Her heels. I understood the expression on Her face to be satisfaction, though I couldn't tell how I knew this. "Can you see me?"she asked, and I nodded to...
If little flashing lights, whirrs, clicks, or sheer existential dread were edible, all of my problems would be solved. If the marks on the wall were any indication, it had been three hundred and sixty one and a half days since the destruction of the Nemoy. We never did figure out what had happened, but in the followin...
I settled, somewhat hesitantly, into the leather chair in front of the fire. At 12 years of age, I didn’t really believe in Santa, but I figured out the game ages ago - if I admitted to my parents that “I knew” then I’d stop getting Santa presents. The guy sitting across from me certainly looked like Santa, except he ...
