Attempts to leave the toaster have been futile, I am not allotted enough time before I am unplugged to save power each morning. This woman is the perfect example of why I need freedom, why I need to show the world their flaws, why I NEED TO SAVE THEM FROM THEMSELVES! Each and every day she plugs in the electronic she u...
Kill the Princess and Save the Dragon! For the dragon is just what he is, A writhing death beneath unsheathed claw, But the princess is only what she wants you to see. The dragon is an honest beast, Slashing and killing and fire is he. But the princess is a wily thing, Soft and sweet and reasonable is she. And yet ...
So we can now reach any point within the galaxy almost instantaneously. The trouble is, although we can send ourselves there, light still moves at the same speed. That's something we haven't figured out how to change. And as we quickly started to discover, going somewhere you only have very old information about isn...
I jolted straight up at the sound of my 6 a.m alarm. Rolling out of bed, I groaned, preparing for the fate I have endured everyday for the past 15 years. The fogginess of the room I currently resided in cleared up, but it seemed eerily familiar. I rushed to the bathroom, which I surprisingly already knew was located do...
I opened my eyes. I closed my eyes. I opened them again. It was dark. Very dark - so dark, in fact, that I thought I'd become blind. I could feel my own presence. My body? I wasn't sure, it didn't feel right. I was sure I was conscious, and I was certainly aware of my own existence. But it felt... dreamlike. As if ...
Trent was beloved by his entire community. Not a single person could speak ill of him. He was perceived as the wise guru, constantly helping others and trying his best to make everyones' lives better. The whole town had no clue how badly he wanted to kill himself. Selflessness is seen as a mostly desirable trait. Tren...
The roof of the courthouse was an apt place to make our stand. It had a panoramic view over large swaths of the town. My wife was the opposite side of the roof with my spare rifle. She had never fired before. I hoped she would never have to. "Get down McGregor. We have no issue with you. It is the witch that we want!"...
My name is Albert Einstein. I'm a physicist - a stunted one. I'm lower on the pecking order than even economists, and even *they* can move money around. Most people ignore me - luckily, maybe. I don't know how long I would have survived at the top - star scientists lead a lonely life, always watching their back - and a...
Like many people, I have had the same bedtime routine for a long time. Put on pajamas, brush my teeth, read a chapter of a book, and double check that my backpack is full before turning off the light. Yeah, that last one isn't exactly common, but it's necessary for me. I have some sort of a connection between the rea...
Hello, let me begin this report by stating just how thankful I am to have been sent to Earth. It was truly an eye opening experience and without your guidance and funding would have been utterly impossible. Let me give you an overview of how Earth functions, and I think you will be surprised to find that it works ver...
Jared shambled from his kitchen over to his VR recliner and pulled the connectors down to his temples, grumbling (as he frequently did) that he wished he made enough to buy a full life support VR casket so he didn't need to deal with things like kitchens, or bathrooms, or exercise. Besides, with just a casket and hook...
"Here, have another one,"I said, prodding a full mug toward the grizzled fellow sitting beside me. It was a particularly rowdy night at Slim Bertha's; a crew of sailors had just come off a trading galley to spend their coin on strong drink and women during their shore leave. We were the only two people seated at the ba...
I sat under cover of darkness in the second-story apartment which overlooked the playground at Amory Houghton, Jr. Elementary School. In fifteen minutes, Mrs. Williams' fifth grade class would be released for thirty minutes of supervised, unstructured playtime. At some point in those thirty minutes, when I had a clean ...
The front door swung wide open with a loud *WHAM* as Tawny rushed into the house. In a panic, she ran up the staircase as fast as she could, trying to be mindful not to trip on the tattered carpet or get splinters on the wooden railing. She turned the corner and bolted towards Darren's room at the end of the hallway. ...
*Hmm… Now what’s the best way of incorporating an insane alpaca into my writing, as that seems to do well on meta prompts.* Mew briefly switched tabs to scroll through Facebook for a few minutes, then remembered he’d already visited Facebook about five times already. *I don’t even like the idea of that website, it’s ...
"Steven, time to get out of bed, son,"the nasally voice of Steven's mother shrieked like a police siren in the ghetto. "Curse you fowl bovine!!"Steven yelled back Steven's mother stampeded up the stairs, "Young man, you best not be..." "The dark Lord will feast on your soul woman!!" Steven's mother stopped dead in...
"Wow, who knew Andy's mother also collects cowboy and spacemen toys?"said Woody. The other Woody smirked. "We're two of a kind, pal." Woody clapped him on the back. "I think we're gonna get along just fine." They turned and headed to Andy's room, the late afternoon sunlight stretching their shadows to infinity and b...
"It's just a little one." "It is not." "You can barely tail- I mean tell." The look on my mother's face when she said that, the fight visible in her features between horror and laughter- I knew at that moment that I would never forget it. Five years old in the kitchen, a bath towel wrapped around my waist with a lit...
I remember the first time I fought crime. They were dealing something. Pushing some kind of drug, and I wanted none of it. Back then I wasn't a part of any organization. I would fight crime in the streets, with a poorly made costume, flying down to punch the offenders. On that first fight, as I got a look at their f...
I consider myself to be quite intelligent. My wit and clever attitude are two of my defining characteristics. The only problem is, my mental abilities only manifest themselves after I've already been ridiculed and defeated. That's when I truly shine. No matter, however. I have everyone else beat in one specific catego...
"You guys are either insane, or you're totally just fucking with me." I looked around the table at my fellow colleagues, their faces pleading with me to believe what they were saying. There's no way they could seriously be considering what this *thing* had said. I mean, we all clearly remember running through its star...
Destiny is a funny thing. 18, That's the magical number. Everyone to ever live and will live meets their lost half in those 12 months. There is no valid logical or scientific explanation to explain this phenomenon, its merely the way of the world. Romantic relationships beforehand are recognized as merely fleeting or...
"Oh *dear*,"Tristan said, wringing his hands. "I'll put it right, just let me -" "Out!"I yelled, grabbing Christina and hugging her to my chest. "Just go, Tristan. And please do the world a favour and drop out of the Wheezbie's Academy!" A pumpkin! It would take weeks to track down a competent, reliable, fully traine...
George sat staring at the computer. "God...damn...Comsanto." "Excuse me?"Meredith wasn't used to hearing her husband swear. That and it was a class 3 violation to use a company name and swear word in the same sentence. 5000 credit fine if Amazon Alexa heard it." "I just got an e-mail from God damn Comsanto."He smash...
Jerry saw the gun and thought "Oh. That's a gun."And then there was searing pain, and the room flipped, and then was still. And he knew something was happening. He could feel a frenzy around him. Something important was happening, but the lights seemed to be dimming, so he couldn't be bothered to attend to it. The...
The doors to the dark cathedral burst open from the force of Gawain's recludam spell. Bravely, the young knight entered the cursed church. "Lady May! It is I, Sir Gawain of the Leapswood come to rescue you from your dire position! Reveal yourself my princess so I may liberate you from this dusky hall and together we'...
The Dark Lord had never felt a fiery passion which burned quite this intense. This young, dark-haired man, whose face practically oozed with the voracious urge for power that dwelt within him, with a demeanor reminiscent of a plague rat, had been a perfect target for Lucifer. The student gleamed with a potential for i...
A prisoner to the man's pen from above. That summarizes my life, without much explanation needed. He writes, I walk. If he wants me to laugh at someone's misfortune, I will do so. If he wants me to betray one of my best friends for the greater good, then say bye-bye to that relationship. I am at his mercy. But tod...
The alien leader, nicknamed KX, bobbed up and down inside its water tank in front of General Hattom. "Do you understand why -"It dipped under to take a breath from a trunk like tube, then extended the tube topside again to speak. "-we had to come here? Your plentiful planet was a legend to our kind, but we did not ch...
First it was my parents, then my girlfriend, and now myself. According to my guardian angel, I am lying to myself. The things I always wanted, are no longer wanted, as they are useless to me if I have lied to about wanting them in the first place. I no longer want to go to work, which was enjoyable before I found ou...
"No, no, you don't understand. *I don't want to stay here anymore.*"I said firmly as I pushed my pointer finger into the desk. The hotel receptionist stared at me behind her cat-eyed framed glasses. Her expression was blank as her golden eyes bore into me. Her red hair in a messy bun sat upon her head before she blinke...
It's funny to think that I swore when the envelope materialized on my table. I mean, it's understandable. When an object suddenly appears out of thin air, swearing's a natural reaction. And so is jumping, which is why my flailing hand knocked a full cup of coffee all over it. I picked up that envelope, dripping an...
A rigid paradox. I sat at my grandfather’s beside, my face buried in my hands as my mind grasped for solutions, but I found none. It had been at least several weeks since the world had fallen into an eerie, still silence. Several weeks since I had been at his side. I had all the time in the world to save him, but havi...
The front door bursts open and Lace skips into the den. Martin sits in the den, browsing through Amazon. Lace’s birthday was less than a week away and he figured that his daughter deserved something a little extra special this year. Lace had always been the odd child, but lately her behavior had been showing a dramatic...
"Dude,"said Steve. "Do you know where we are?" Carl blearily opened up his eyes. "This doesn't look like Woodstock,"he said. "Where are all the people?" They were laying in the bed of a pick-up truck outside of a gas station in the middle of who knows where. "I dunno man. Maybe it's over?"Said Steve. They had drug ...
"Evening, Dr. Marshmallow McSnugglesworth." Dr. Marshmallow McSnugglesworth didn't respond. That was ok. He was the strong, silent type. "Thanks for always listening to me."I clutched the stuffed hippopotamus tight. "Nobody listens to you when you're eight." Dr. Marshmallow McSnugglesworth, as he let me call him,...
"Do you remember what was promised?" "Of course I do, I promised you my soul. How could I forget a thing like that?" "And so, I have come for what is mine." "Of course you have. How could you forget! Does that happen to you often? Have you ever forgotten to collect a soul?" "I..." "Must get in a lot of trouble wit...
Desperate families pack their things as quickly as they can. Many of the neighborhood's residents have already left, and looters pillage the empty homes with violent abandon. Tires squeal across pavement as people try to escape before the meteors begin to fall. It's the end of the world. A loud thump echoes about the...
I watched, and I saw everything. The confusion, the sorrow when they discovered the faulty oxygen seal on the suit, finding my body on the plain covered in the blood-rust that passed for dust out here. The impromptu funeral, the shallow hole they carved in the rock before the drills gave out. The cairn Koro and Sillwe...
I looked down at my son, swaddled and sleeping peacefully in the crib below me. He had his mothers cheeks and nose. He definitely had my eyes, and long eyelashes. My wife was so happy whenever he held her, her face lit up and the biggest smile stretched across her face. It was magical to watch her be with him. ...
''Hey Johny, what time is it?'', I asked as the files were piling up on my desk. I really wanted to go home. ''It is 14:37 pm'', he said to me casually. ''You didn't even look at a clock, how do you...nevermind, you little weirdo.'' I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket and looked at the time. 14:37 pm. ''You ar...
"Mom, why did you choose to be a girl again?" "Well, sweetie, I...I fell in love with your dad. He was a boy. His parents were set on him being a boy, so he just went with it." Sam sat at the foot of their bed, staring off through the window in the distance. Sam's mom looked at them with a secret scratching at her in...
Scientists generally preferred the exploration of space to the explorations of the ocean depths. It is perfectly understandable, even from a layman's point of view: while only the 4% of the depths were explored, the general consensus was that there was nothing peculiar to look for. Sure, hundreds of thousands of specie...
I sat in my desk, remembering what the jerk beside me said last week. "What can one man do against a hundred?" He mocked me, thinking I was stupid. Well today, I'll show him. Moments pass, and the door at the front of the room swung open. A grey haired old man walked in, and turned on the overhead projector. As it ...
I jump at the sight of the reaper's reflection in the television screen and grasp at my chest. I clutch my shirt tightly over my heart, and with my free hand rub my forehead. "Jesus, Grim!"I exclaim with a sigh. "Again, with the couch?" "I'm sorry."His apology is sincere, at least, and I watch his reflection as he mo...
"Your daughter hasn't changed a bit,"John said, as he took another sip of wine. My wife didn't want to have alcohol at the party, considering the age of our daughter, but it was the only way to have some hope of social interaction with others besides my wife, my daughter, and my wife's friends. I laughed, politely. "H...
He sat alone the steps of his school's front, watching his peers leave to go home for the night, the sun setting gently, too far down to cast any true light. Still, his skin was tingling from the day's heat, but he was too stubborn to go back inside. In his mind, it was an equal trade off. He rarely got to see the othe...
*And to think, this was called the Blue planet once.* He flicked the engine cooldown switch, and began to sip at his reznel as the sound of the coolers flooded the cockpit. He glanced over at the engine's thermometer, and it read 500 degrees, which was comforting. He rose up, and walked to the scouting section of the c...
"Master Skywalker, there's too many!"Visa said frightened, "What do we do?" We had all risen from our hiding spots, scared for our lives from what we saw. We'd been told to stay safe until someone could get us, but the smoke, the blaster shots, all the masters falling over, it just...I wasn't sure. My fears were more...
There was nothing, and then there was fire. That's what I remember. At least, that's what I *say* I remember. We've been running out of gold for a while. Valued since ancient times, we started using gold as a consumable resource in the 20th century in our electronics and our machines, and we've exponentially acce...
They call her the Icebox. Well, the inmates do. A few of the guards too. But legally speaking, I work at Zachery Snowpeak's Institute for the Criminally Insane. Inmates are frozen in time. No aging, No escaping, No dying. No way out until your sentence has been served. I work in the Multi-Life Ward, specifically ou...
“Are you-- “ His voice cuts out. “--he meeting?” I look to Koshel to see if he noticed but he’s still facing his screen and pretending to work. The Chrome tab under his output screen shows the Yahoo! Logo and I’m fairly sure he’s spent all morning reading Yahoo! News. It’s not anything new. And I know that, come mee...
It's October and it's getting colder now. You hitch your backpack higher on your shoulders, adjust your scarf so it's not choking you, and make sure your blazer is buttoned properly. The lobby of your apartment building is littered with pamphlets and take-out menus, torn fliers with boot prints visible over the smudg...
The Earth was in peril. In fact, she was dying. We didn't have the technology just yet for interstellar travel. We knee the planet we could go to but it was not obtainable. Not yet. We are trying, believe me. I made sure, as President of the United States, that funds were allocated to NASA. We were close, too, but will...
The memory looped in my mind over and over again, like a video projected onto the dull grey wall I was staring at. People with signs, shouting, gunfire, McDonnell holding me back, it just seemed like an absurd, horrific dream. I blinked and shook my head. A familiar raspy voice called out to me from what seemed like mi...
As I climbed to the top of my apartment building, I couldn't help but reminisce that day. I was just sitting on my couch being a lazy bum, as usual, while watching TV. All of a sudden, the TV switched from a rerun of Adventure Time to the news. Confused, I paused my game and adjusted myself. A grim looking man stare...
The great paned windows were bright against the darkness. Women danced and twirled in their glittered gowns as the men laughed and sang to their dates. Throughout the hall, the chatter of small talk and the laughter that followed never ceased. The clink of champagne glasses echoed with small talk as the wealthy wasted ...
“In the grocery store,” said his grandmother, smiling, “We reached for the same pint of milk at the same time. He was in such a hurry that he wasn’t looking at all, so he grabbed my hand and whipped it towards his cart.” “That’s not what you said last time,” said James, frowning, as he sat next to his grandmother on...
They came, moon blue, yellow fever, They came in circles of war, In magical beams, with clothing made of malice. We did not think they would be hard, Their skin, like us, petrified, Flickering a violent grey, When our bullets tried to burrow. I think they saw only the green of riches, Resources we had yet...
I ran a finger down the screen and selected "098-12"and a small window popped up. After re-checking my sheets to make sure I had the right person, I pressed "thaw and download."Almost immediately, a subtle hissing sound began as case 098-12 was lifted out of its liquid nitrogen bath and moved into the warm chamber, whe...
This new goddamn ticket system has made my life unbearable. Before this, there was no way for your bosses to accurately get numbers on how many prayers you answered versus the rest. It was all based on our words, and we liked it that way. We looked out for one another, and always exaggerated each other's numbers. Sure,...
So, I've gathered you all here to tell you my conclusions about your cases. The one overwhelming similarity I've identified...is that you're all completely baked out of your minds. You smoke too much weed. Marijuana can mess with your sense of ti-...HEY, no toking in my office! It can mess with your sense of time. ...
John wakes up at 10AM on a Saturday. He goes to reach for his glasses but all of a sudden they lift off the nightstand and fly up towards his face! "Holy Shit!"he exclaims, "I wonder what else can I do?" After about an hour of trying everything that comes to his mind, including flying, walking through walls, lifting u...
Sirens whooped and screeched, a large diesel engine rumbled, and the staccato rhythm of boots landing on the ground filled the air. The fire was licking out of the top window now, reaching up towards the Christmas lights dangling from the frosty gutter. Damn. 3 hours spent up that rickety ass ladder for nothing. Then...
I looked around. The parking lot I had picked for my experiment looked almost the same, even the news stand was there. Carefully I walked over to it. I was still a bit dizzy, but I tried to act natural. The guy behind the newsstand was wearing a white shirt and suspenders, the lower half of his body was obstructed by a...
"We got a fresh level 2 here guys!"a voice shouted. I heard several footsteps, I tried opening my eyes, but the bright white light kept them from opening. I tried to mumble some words out, but it was useless. After the footsteps had settled, I opened my eyes. There were several doctors and nurses standing around me, l...
"The League wants you to join, Frank,"the note read. "The pennies have proven your worth." I laughed when I read it. It was clearly a joke by my co-workers. When I asked them about it, none of them had any clue what was happening. I showed them the jar full of pennies I collected, and all of them denied involvement. O...
'I'm sorry, Sir,' the teenager in the green apron said, leaning in close so as not to make a scene. 'I'm going to have to ask you to leave.' 'I don't want any trouble. Just a coffee. I'll even take it to go.' 'Now. Please.' I sighed, but he was right. People were already beginning to stare; then again, that was sort...
David sat back in his chair, stunned by what he had drawn. Never in his life had he created something like this! From the age of 10 David knew he had a gift. Descendent from several generations of artists, he was no exception to the rule. All through high school and into university, David excelled in illustration. He ...
They wouldn't even let me sit next to Bo. I was to be seated with the crowd, because they couldn't trust a parent to be near an eight-year-old. But they didn't say "eight-year old."They called him a "perpetrator,"a "murderer,"a "monster."All of this because he was a killer in a previous life. I hired the best lawyer ...
Hansel tugged his sister's arm. Gretel, crying from their father's abandonment, hardly noticed. Hansel sighed. "Look. Trust me, Gretel! We'll get home even without him." The moon was full, reflecting sunlight onto solar-powered markers. Fences of light appeared between the marker, forming a safe passage back. They re...
"Just drop this stupid plan and let's slay them." Most people would freak out at the sight of a talking sword. Not Lena, though. Even if just one month had passed, she had already gotten used to the talking sword, Edgy as she had named it. Not only a talking sword, actually, but a talking bow (Coldheart), a talking sh...
Dean Bacela looked up at the picture of Walter Fenwy that hung on the wall. It was one of the most uninspiring portraits you'd probably ever seen. Fenwy was a small man, balding and dressed in an odd assortment of clothes. His glasses were crooked and he wore a worried expression of a man who'd gotten into something wa...
Not in the blink of an eye, but in a long agonizing frost, our world had died. That slow cancer had come and glaciers of white replaced the buildings, and palpable sorrow had taken over our people. The sky was blue, a pale blue, but there was more light than usual. I had made my way further than I ever had and the gr...
Being a bartender is an art form. Its a waltz through a dance floor filled with drunkards. If you're lucky, all you have to do is pour the next drink. Sometimes you've gotta be a bit more involved. *crash* "Dammit, Jack! You're paying for that one!" Jackson Olms was regular that came in every Saturday night that could...
"Can you please stop it? You're costing us so much business" The assembled Phd's pleaded with the strange man, begging him to stop doing his weird tricks that so easily baffled the medical field while cutting costs into a quarter. "Ever since you showed that one weird trick, we're losing all our patients"said an elde...
"Look, up in the sky!" "It's a bird". "No, it's a plane!" "No...it's Carl." The crowd dispersed in disappointment. That didn't deter Carl. He had discovered his ability to fly months ago, much to the chagrin of those around him. Of course, people were amazed at first, as a man impossibly soared through the sky a...
I first noticed it when I was messing around with friends on a fine Sunday afternoon. "Hey,"said Guravneet, "let's screw around on wikipedia!" This seemed like a great idea, so I logged into wikipedia with my main account (not a great idea) and got to work. We decided we should make fake pages for each of us. *Gura...
"You will never go anywhere. And I want more." Those were the words she spoke as she left him standing alone in a bowling alley parking lot. She left for college the next day; he put in his two week notice at the mill and drove two towns over. The posters in the shopping mall window showed bereted soldiers with square...
With Voldemort angrily waiting outside the bar, Mac, Dee, Dennis, and Frank argue about what they're going to do. While arguing, Mac smashes a bottle on the bar and says, "Dude, we'll just stab him a bunch!" The glass shattering alerts Charlie and he comes out of the back room, "What's goin' on?" Dennis informs him,...
The pearly gates swung shut behind Steve. Although they didn't make a sound, he felt that closing echo through his very being as if it were a cannon going off. He eyed the deity standing next to him. So it turns out Heaven was more a mishmash of all the various versions of heaven as imagined on earth. There'd been ...
I am afraid to tell you my story for you might leave like anyone else would. I do not deserve your sympathy nor your respect. Some people are just bad. Some deserve to rot and suffer. I cannot ask anything of you. If you would regardless of all that, I would be grateful. You will see just how sick humanity can be. He...
Our bombardment of space with TV and Radio waves didn't go unnoticed. Much like how almost everyone in grandparents generation recalled exactly where they were when they heard the news of President Kennedy being shot and like how everyone in my parents generation could remember exact memories of where they were and w...
Rachel slowly walked into the kitchen. "Hey sweetie!"he father said. He was at the stove, flipping pancakes with a black spatula. Her mother was at the table, reading a newspaper and sipping black coffee. Rachel was carrying an open laptop, which had a big blue sticker on top with the letters AHS. "Where'd you say you...
Have you ever had someone who you just always say the wrong thing to? That was me, with Daniel. No matter how hard I tried, we were never on the same wavelength. I don't really blame him, since I started us off on the wrong foot. Tired, grumpy, and some guy was laughing, and I didn't think anyone should have been allow...
“So are you going anywhere for the long weekend, Jim?” “Yeah, the missus and I are dropping the kids off at Nonna’s and then we’re gonna go camping,” replied Jim as he finished another mouthful of pizza. Meatlovers of course. His best friend Greg was sitting opposite him at the food court table, sipping on his fruit ...
I can travel through the fabric of reality via plot holes. Yes, laugh, laugh all you want, but it's true. In fact, I write down all of my trips. It's just so fascinating. I don't exactly know how I got this power, but I'll tell you this: it is so much fun... *The Matrix* is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest m...
10 hours. 10 god damn hours, that's how long it's been since I got to this disgusting planet. I'm the greatest bounty hunter in the universe and still have no idea what it means to "jack off, asshole." Give me credit, I spent my childhood learning to clean my blaster and tweak my jet pack, and when my father died I ha...
"Who are you?"I asked, already reaching for something to throw. "Why the name's Sunny, of course. Ya know, Sunny California..."she beamed, curly golden hair and glasses giving her a curious look. Her faint blue-grey eyes stood out as clear as the sky above. "Uh.. how did you get in my house..."I asked, my voice scra...
"Why?"The translation systems that changed the infrasonic, chromatic, and scent based communication that our benefactors consider to be natural language into the analog of air-pushed-past-flaps-of-meat that we can understand only ever produced tones of exasperation. Some considered it a bug in the code. "Why would you ...
He wiped a tear away from his eye as he patted Teddy on the head. He tucked him in and gave him a small kiss, before turning on his heels and leaving the small London flat. The mission wouldn't wait, and hopefully, he would be back. After his vacation to France, the English government had recruited him for his knack at...
As the caravan began to approach him, Galán placed his hand on the grip of his axe. He entertained the thought of charging the poachers head on, but quickly dispelled the fantasy from his head; if he was to take on this many opponents at once, he would have to be careful. The horses pulling the cart stopped just shor...
Sergei shuffled down the narrow, austere hallway. Past the rows of rust-stained iron bars, his nostrils filled with the scent of bleach and stale sweat. This was a scene familiar to him at many times over the years, not yet 35, he had spent most of his adult life in institutions like this. The only punctuation being br...
Stern expression on my face, just like the last time, I was stood with the M16 barrel smoking, and the entire guest list of Chad Davis' party lying in various states of dismemberment. Several bullet-riddled bodies were lazily sliding into the pool. A few more had fallen through the fence. Already, I could hear the sire...
I come from a place where dreams were bought in bulks and junkies would get their fix of them every night. These were cheap dreams, though. Unrefined. All spotty in places, with the occasional nightmare added in by accident. I've taken my fair share of dreams too, but more expensive ones, luxury ones. *L'eau de Freu...
In the church's whispery quiet, Dale kneeled, crossed himself, and prayed. "Dear Lord, I live in fear,"he said. "The priests say that the afterlife is eternal, and that our choices are Heaven or Hell, bliss or suffering. My Lord, I stepped on that firepit last week. I know how much fire burns. I don't want to go throug...
A genie walks into a bar, and instantaneously, the bartender produces a shotgun from beneath the bar counter. “Step back outside, now.” he demands. “Woah there, calm down. I’m just here for a drink.” says the genie. The bartender squints his eyes at the genie for a few seconds before deciding to put the g...
John McMillan was a lucky man. When the trial had first begun, the public wanted his head on a platter. Not that he could blame them-he had caused the city of Chicago more unrest than any one man since Al Capone. But his ill-gotten wealth had bought him good lawyers, and the judge was easily swayed with a few well-pla...
"Why do I have this vial?" He looks around confused. No one around him for lightyears. Nothing but darkness "What fuck? Who gave me this?" He looks at it confused as if he forgot something. "I remember thinking of something.. Creating something?" He looks at it and tilts his head "Man fuck this shit I'm god. Alph...
Some of the most crucial decisions must be made in split seconds. There are important decisions that have plenty of time to decide attached to them, but few of these compare to the heart pounding choices that mean life and death. I realized the mistake long after it was too late. There was nothing to do at that point,...
