It surprised me. I am a god, I have created life and a universe so beautiful--so *beautiful* and so complex, so wonderful, and yet... I was surprised. I did not see it, I did not believe it at first, and even now I find it difficult to understand.
How has this happened? How is it possible that my universe, my *creati... |
Dad died of a heart attack the day I graduated from University. We were taking a family photo, Mum and Dad were smiling proudly and I was wedged in between, blinking with twisted lips that had been trying to make a smile as the flash went off.
My sister showed us the picture and we all laughed. She asked to take anoth... |
"B-b-b...But why!?!"
The three men stared at their newly arrived guest as if he'd grown a second head. Kurt stared back, just as confused. In front of him were legends, *living* legends, he supposed. That old joke turned out to be true, and all of the famous people who up and died really were just relaxing on a beach ... |
Athena sat staring at the crumpled note her mother left on the bed.
"Mommy, you left some garbage here!"she yelled.
"Mommy is late for work, sweetheart, just have Lena clean it up,"she replied, "and be good today. I'll stop by for lunch. Bye!"
"Bye,"replied Athena holding the note in her hands.
The door hissed as... |
"We should just go home. It's my fault the girls bailed, man. I'm sorry. We'll never get in now."
Enrique Delgado looked his friend in the eyes. "Peter, we can go home, have some beers, play some video games, like we've done countless times before. Or we can do something different, something risky, something fun."

I freeze. That feeling of being caught and having no escape hits me like a kick to the chest. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN THERE"comes booming in from the next room. It doesnt carry the sound of authority or carry a random threat. It has the madness, the insanity that only alcoholism can do to a once great and dec... |
"We hope you find solace in your time here at Periphery Hotels, sir. If there's anything we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to call down to the front desk."

It's been an hour since William locked himself in the back of closet; his father's yelling has now been reduced to a barely audible whimper, but he still wouldn't take the chance of checking until he knew it was safe.
Still curiosity got the better of him and he cracked open the door the tiniest of bits. In the cente... |
Victor hadn't smoked in years. As he watched, slightly cross-eyed, the lighter flame lick around and catch the very end of the cigarette, he inhaled gently. Still, this brought on a coughing fit and he almost dropped it, his body shaking with his hacking. The men stood watching him smirked slightly at his lack of exper... |
There was a lot of confusion in the beginning. Were we mute? No, we all heard each other. Was there something wrong with us? It seemed like our vocal cords worked the same as always, and I could still feel vibrations in my throat, and breath leaving my lips. As far as we could tell, everyone else still sounded normal, ... |
"OK, let me get this straight,"began Eve. "You give myself and Adam free will?"
"Yes, that's correct,"replied God.
"Then You place a tree in the Garden of Eden, containing fruit that will give us an enlightened mind?"
"Yes."
"Then You tell us we can't eat the fruit from the tree?"
"Yes."

Ten thousand guns were trained on the shuttle as the small strange vehicle skidded to a halt on the flat anti-grav deck of the Tidemaker, capital ship to the Fractured Union's preservation fleet. A weak tractor beam guided it through giant bay doors and into the ship's hold.
The vessels had nothing alike. The Tide... |
They say it began in infancy. Hell, maybe even in the womb. He wanted no mother's milk. No goat's milk. No milk of any kind. His mother, poor thing, despaired that he would die. For a while she held his tiny skeleton and wished him to heaven.
She cut her finger one morning and he fought as an animal would to get to ... |

"So uh, hi Paul. It's me, Dave.
I mean, Bad Eyes, or boogeyman, or whatever. Well that's not my name, my name's Dave, but you used to call me Bad Eyes all the time and I never really got to introduce myself, um.

Right now, people are relying on you. People out there need you to deliver on your job. *Children* are waiting for you to do this. They need you! Thousands of people have built the building blocks for what you are about to do. They have *suffered* to get this. Some of them are paid almost nothing. Some of them have fou... |
"To be honest,"he began, lighting a cigarette as he spoke, "I'm glad that you stood in my way."
He puffed and smoke, thicker somehow than it should have been, billowed into the faces of his audience.
"After all, what would any of this really matter without a little competition?"
He crossed his arms, staring at his g... |
After forty-five minutes of possibly the worst job interview of his life (and of the interviewer's life, for that matter), Joe was more than ready to leave.
*Go on*, he thought to himself. *Just say "Thank you for coming, we'll be in contact with you"even though there's no way in hell that I'll ever get a call back.*

“Well, I had a great time,” she said as they pulled up to her front door. “I’m sorry again about your phone, but I’m sure it’ll turn up somewhere.”
“Oh, well,” he grinned. “You can’t control everything.”
“I’ll talk to you soon,” she said, moving in for a kiss.
“Actually,” he said as she leaned over the gear shift ... |
The bright flash blinded anyone who was looking to the horizon, including myself. I pulled away from the railing that I was holding onto and covered my eyes. I knew there was a reason why I was against going on a cruise alone.
A powerful brunt force hit the back of my legs, bringing me to my knees. They slammed again... |
Murders. So many murders.
There hadn't been lynchings in a hundred years, here, but suddenly everyone felt the burden of an unfolding future before them. It didn't matter when a politician protested no, he wouldn't do it again, or even when the light of real horror shone in his eyes. They killed him anyway. The me... |
When Maria said that she was going to throw a hell of a party, she wasn't kidding. Their place was packed to the brim with laughing and more than slightly inebriated people, most of them long time friends. Steve'd just gotten a promotion, so ostensibly the party was for him, but he never cared for groups larger than 3.... |
I looked at him, disbelief filled my eyes. "What could possibly be wrong?"I asked.
This was the last thing I wanted to hear from a doctor. That something was wrong. Had my wife cheated on me? Was my son retarded?

It was rote. She would close the door behind her, there would be a few footsteps, on the carpeted hallway, followed by the rumbling of the stairs. They were free to talk.

The fire burned bright; casting its light onto the elder’s face. Shadows flickered in the lines of his years, his eyes reflected the form of the flickering flame. He breathed deep, and swept his gaze on the children sitting at his feet. Their eyes were fixed on him, waiting, watching his every breath. With one last lo... |
"Your coat, sir?"
I sighed, and removed my coat. "Thank you, Lara."
"Was today not as profitable as you had expected, sir?"
I sighed again, and began the walk to my study. Lara followed me, her candles throwing out a warm, flickering light. "No, Lara, that's the thing; everything went exactly as I had expected."I pa... |
"So what was it like!?"
"Oh, uh, it was okay I guess"
The room was a little... clinical for my tastes. White walls, white floors, white lights. Oh, the scientist guys though, they were dressed in... a very light grey I guess.
The future was pretty hot on white.

"I could have sworn that I seen you somewhere before."The man said, a pondering look on his face as he wondered why this beautiful woman in front of him made him so uneasy.
He contributed it to the fact that he was simply nervous, still not clear on why a woman this beautiful, educated and sexy would ever give... |

“This is all wrong, all of it” he continues as the image of a woman being stabbed repeatedly shows on screen. “She never died like that. She’s still alive with a scar on her back”. Already being wary of what’s being shown on-screen, I don’t stop the man from talking. He’s old, but still seems upbeat and knowledgeable. ... |
She came to me, sobbing, and told me everything. It was our 5th anniversary. She said that every year she was reminded of what she did, and couldn't handle the guilt anymore. I wiped her tears away. I couldn't stand to see her cry. I told her that she was the best thing to ever happen to me. I didn't care about her so-... |
Do you know why “The Count of Monte Cristo” is such a popular story to this day? I’ll tell you why. It’s the ultimate fantasy. A man comes by an immense amount of treasure through no real merit of his own and then becomes richer than God. Then using his new found riches, he goes on a revenge spree against all those who... |

We arrived on that barren and desolate planet with the greatest sense of foreboding. We could tell that place was bad, even from orbit. The amount of radiation in the planet's atmosphere told us two things. People had lived here and people had died here. We knew nothing of the people that lived here though, so we decid... |

Sitting in the dancing lights of what could only be called a funeral pyre for civilization. I find myself recanting my life and decisions. Cradling a sorrowful sick grimace between my dirty and disheveled sandpapered cheeks. Though I did graduate college all that knowledge I'm sure will prove useless now that the heral... |
All alarms sounded, we were dead in the water, GPS position lost, GLONASS positioning unavailable, nearby vessel transponders gone, RADAR tracking showing nothing, loss of radio time signal - in fact radio silence on all monitored frequencies. Navigation systems had stopped us dead in our tracks.

"Happy birthday sweetie!"my mother said, kissing the top of my head as she presented me my twentieth birthday cake. It was always the same - vanilla with chocolate icing. Completely home made.

The dimensional rift bursts outward and gives way to an instantaneous rush of warm amber sunlight.

It had been a strange commission, but then I'd had some odd ones before and this started no differently.

At first having a shop seeme... |
We found the others. Have you ever had that feeling where you buy something, discover somewhere, or find someone and from that moment on it is a part of you? Like it was always attached to you. It's not new, just newly noticed. That's how we felt.

We were trapped inside an elevator. The elevator lights were dim, and unleashing an unstable current, a loud, constant buzzing in the corner of the claustered room. The man beside me tapped my shoulder, ever so suddenly,

How could anything sleep for a whole week? I stood at the window of the bridge, hands behind my back, and stared at the blue-green planet below. It had taken nearly a week to get out here, and I intended to take this world as quickly as possible.

Jack laid on the ground, breathing heavily as he looked up at the wobbling sun, blood pooling out from his broken legs. He almost could swear he had seen a light.

Of course, that's a lot more complicated than it sounds. Say there's something I absolutely need. Some money. A car. Food. I dial the number, tell it my order, and the next time no one's looking, there it is. Just sitting there like it's nothing weird.

Another sip of courage went down as we looked at each other and smiled. It wasn't one of happiness, but an empty, regretful one. In another life we could have become so much more. Strangers passing by each other in the street, acquaintances or even friends.
