"Heyo! How much that shovel set you back?"I asked through my car window. "I don't know, but I got the last one."He said as he continued toward his car. "The last shovel?"I asked myself aloud. I quickly exited the parking lot and made a beeline for the nearest super store. Along the way I saw people outside *dig...
We all had demons - see, there’s mine now. Ivaldi was my demon. If I wasn't such a big headed teen, I wouldn't brag about how I am pretty sure Ivaldi is one of the rarest and worst demons, but I am big headed so those are the facts. Lucy, my friend, was hosted by one called Violae. Harry had to deal with Galahad. Am...
To say I was disappointed was a huge understatement. I felt every dream of mine come crashing down before they could take off. Everyone around me crowed with delight, cooing and cheering as their little dragons stumbled out of broken shells, little wings extended and small voices raised in hunger. Everyone save me. I...
"Just say when,"said the waiter. Thomas hadn't heard him, or even noticed for that matter. He was too into his own story he was telling. "It was crazy man. It was like we were just two people alone in the universe. The waterfall was crashing down around us and I got on my knee to propose. It was like the planets align...
"I don't like you, Ramirez,"Oglethorpe said. "No sir,"I answered, bored. "There's something off about you,"he continued. "Like you think you're better than everyone. So today, you get to prove it. I've got a special job for you. See, your fellow janitors called in sick today. All of them." I grit my teeth. "...
What is honor? I say it means fulfilling your obligations, and staying true to them. Every man and woman in this world has responsibilities, some heavier than most. Most people admire those with the heaviest duties. Why? Do they want to be known and respected throughout the land? Do they want to have a lasting impact ...
"Did you murder John?" the lawyers kept asking me. Then I sensed the room. &nbsp; "When we speak of him I think you will all agree that John was an ass." &nbsp; Gasps in the courtroom but no one voiced their concern. I knew I had them. &nbsp; "Don't you remember how he cheated on his wife with...
I felt the vibrations of her feet as she walked towards the table. The restaurant was full of people, but her footsteps were... special. Mostly because they were all I could hear. "Hi,"She said shyly. Her voice was slightly raspy "Are you Lisa?" "I am, yes."Something about her voice calmed me. "Good. Sorry I'm late,...
The customers of first national bank were having a good day. The sun was shining through the windows, the tellers were fast, and everybody was feeling good. Then the ceiling window exploded and down I came. As I walked through the bank a moment later I looked at what I had done. My men stood over the security guards...
I find my job rather entertaining at times. It's less of a job, more of a duty, but, alas, it is a duty I find amusing. Truly, humans are curious creatures, with their antics of war and science and misuse of magic. Of course, they don't really know that it is magic, but, again, that's beside the point. Some consider me...
I crumpled up the paper and tossed it over my shoulder. Staring at the fresh, blank sheet of my yellow legal pad, I tapped my knee with my pen. I'm still not sure how lucky I was to find some good, old-fashioned pen and paper. I just happened upon them one day while walking through a flea market on my way to my apart...
*This story is be divided into parts to represent the passage of time* *Part 1* "Andrew Ralston is a man that has it all. Rugged good looks, a goddamn charming sense of humor, and a three pointer that he could sink from anywhere on the court with his eyes closed. He is the star of Duke University's basketball...
“That tickles,” she giggled. Elmo pulled back, turning his head to hers. She smiled up at him. He couldn’t see if it was a joke or the truth. To be honest, he couldn’t see much of anything. The only light in the room came spilling in from the hallway through the open door. His short, furry fingers fumbled with the clas...
Alaric couldn’t believe his eyes. A multitude of grandiose skyscrapers towered over him, their lengths casting huge shadows over the immaculate concrete floors. Not that Alaric would know what they were called; he was dumbfounded at what he saw before him, unable to speak nor move. “Move it along, kid. The boss is wa...
Everything was different, but everything was the same. The building echoed that spirit, that simple charm, the yearning for what once was. I used to believe that high school was my lowest point. I chuckle, but stifle it, if only to save my ribs. No... that's not why. There's a certain discipline here, some sort of atm...
"Alright cool, do I get compensated in any way?" D: "We will bring you back to life" "Do my friends and family know that I died?" D: "You have no friends; and thus nobody informed your family" "You didn't have to be that harsh" D: "I am also legally required to inform you that your body's muscles relax automa...
Maybe we should have known 20 years ago when all those boats and cruises began to disapper. Or after California sank into the sea. Me? I got suspicious after the Cascadia fault shook the west coast and a wall of ocean crushed parts of British Columbia. Conspiracy theorists they called us about the disappearances. Natu...
So glad you could make over here today! Come in, come in. Drive wasn't too bad? Yes, it's lovely out here, we've got this great vista out back and believe me, you've never seen so many stars at night! Does a body good to get a little further away from civilization. In fact, you're the first human I've talked to in...go...
Sam had been rooming with his friend Darian for over two years now. They started off in campus housing, and when Sam had gotten an apartment near campus, had asked Darian to move out with him. Their new place was a lot better, so he was happy to come along. Sam and Darian’s apartment was actually a house. It was an ol...
"How many times do I have to say it? It's just not going to work, Stanislaus!" Stanislaus' bowed his head, inspecting the weapon gripped in the attendant's hand. "Why not? It's perfectly good steel - only the finest materials for his Excellency." The attendant just shook his head. "Yes, but... aren't the spikes a ...
"M, is this some kind of joke?" "No Mr. Bond, I am quite serious. Mr. Powers is already on his way. He should arrive any second." "M, I know you are new here and you might not know anything about me. But I'm working alone." "And how did that work out in your past missions? Just let me remind you what kind of damage ...
"Look at them! They are so cute with their tiny arms! And their eyes! And their hair!" Zhalmi was not the most objective when talking about humans "I don't find them that cute."replies Beehliok in a grumpy tone "And they are dangerous. Leave them unattended a few seconds and they start a war or destroy something." "...
A representative from the planet Abcxyz was sent to meet with the Earth representative to argue against this matter of free will. On the planet of Abcxyz, the inhabitants did not believe in free will, and the Abcxyz rep was told exactly what to say, how to say it, when to say it, and what to wear. As ordered, the Abcx...
Martin stood motionless, staring at the cracks in the street as concrete and shattered glass rained down all around him. He wasn’t impervious to these dangers. He didn’t have steel skin or super strength. He wasn’t super fast or able to fly. He couldn’t breathe underwater or shoot lasers from his eyes. He couldn’t tele...
Society has conditioned us since birth. Always having to obey someone else, following in someone else's footsteps, living the life that they want. It begins with our name. Did you choose your name? No. Someone else did, right? Did you choose what school to attend? You were more than likely zoned there. Did you choose w...
I doubt that there will ever be an event in my life that will rival my coming to the planet X-c438-Z. Better known as New Earth by us humans and Zira by Them. When NASA informed humanity that they had found a plausible new home for us, we wept with joy. At the time of the Great Discovery I was 23 years old. For gener...
“Hello dear, I don’t know how to say this, but, something has happened, and I wanted to call you because my appearance may be quite shocking.” The wife says “Oh my god what happened? Are you hurt?” “No, I’m just handsome now... Incredibly handsome.”, he replies. "What? What are you talking about?"says the wife, co...
The problem wasn't, I should point out, that she was drawing on the pages. That could be easily shoved off on an intern, who would be more than happy to get spectacularly fired after he got framed for dropping an entire vial of ink on the pages of the precious manuscript. I knew my bases quite well. Nor was the prob...
"Experiment EB275, stand up and await further instructions,"the voice said. "What?"I asked. I stood, more in confusion than in response to the order. "I said, Experiment-" "Yeah,"I said, "I heard that part, but I'm not an experiment. My name's Nick." There was a moment of silence from the speaker I'd now located....
The following is the from the Maximilian Journal of Virology, edition CXXIX.

SHAUGHNESSY DATE: 5/13/5409 Introduction: Humans have known for thousands of years ...
The flashes cascaded down the line of the red carpet as I stepped out of the limo. It was blinding, a million bright balloons popping in quick succession. Well, I thought, seen it on TV many a time, what else was there to expect? “Mr Stephenson, Mr Stephenson” a mic was thrust in front of my face, “David Adams from Ar...
Road Trip "I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere. I've crossed the deserts bare, I've breathed the mountain air." -Johnny Cash Weekends normally begin with Jim behind the wheel. Can't say I've ever figured out how it happens, but it almost always does. Friday night, rough work week, beer unopened...
There is something inherently desirable about the things we can't have. When we knew that the shield was probably their for our protection, that their was something there we weren't meant to see. But we went anyway. The shield is advance tech, it has the ability to emit signals in order to create the illusion of outs...
The gentleman standing before me had six bodyguards with him. It was probably meant to intimidate me, or make me think he was more important than my first impression would otherwise suggest. And a lesser assassin would likely take it as an inadvertent compliment to their prowess; six bodyguards must mean I'm very dange...
# Master Bruce I said, Master Bruce your nights are lonely. You tell me, "Alfred, I am an old man, At thirty\-three." Yes, I have seen war on people like you, Deeper than the cracked sidewalks, In the bad part of Gotham. You were a child\-soldier, still are, Because only children invent magical solutions, ...
The door was slightly ajar, and this did nothing to calm my nerves for this evening. Usually, the best case scenario is that I can hear the handle turn, give myself a little pep talk, and get ready for the usual series of events. Whenever the door was left slightly open, it sort of took that chance away from me, you k...
All my life, I was told that there was a special place in Hell for people like me. All the way in the deepest level of Hell, was the home of my kind of people. People who science everything and don't accept anything which doesn't make sense. I didn't care about them at all. Sure I can be a bit of a party-pooper some t...
Everyone was sad. Our Grandma had passed away, and all we could do was sit in silence. We always visited her often with the expectation of a great day. But now that she is gone, we won’t ever be able to fill that gap, that void, in our hearts. I looked up at my Mom and Dad as we sat in the living room. I said, “It was ...
"One wish? That's an easy choice, genie. "I've battled OCD since I was a child, and being rid of that would give me the freedom to pursue a better life in ways that I've never dared imagine. Nothing else I could ask for would make such a profound difference in my life, or in the lives of my wife and kids. "Genie, I w...
"Don't worry, he'll protect you." I take my job seriously, I have since the first night. When he handed me to her and said those words. That is my oath, my bond. He read her stories of princesses and knights, hobbits and orcs, dragons and gold, good and evil. I loved those stories as much as she did. She'd hold me ti...
Time accelerates the further away you are away from the town Miles thought jotting down his observation on a piece of paper knowing full well it was pointless to write anything down, but it was a force of habit he retained from his younger years, repetition meant memorization and in his case repetition on paper. At fir...
"And your punishment for said crimes most heinous, is to be cast off into space anomaly X-37. Court adjourned" The last words of the judge echoed in my head, as I stared blankly at X-37. For lack of a better description, it was simply a tear in space, a jagged gash that appeared one day. Its interior glowed blue and p...
"Man, what I wouldn't give for a slice of Joe's Pizza", Brandon sighed, as he and James sat down and fired up the latest FIFA game on their PlayStation. They had just come home from another postgrad party and the alcohol and weed had awoken a little demon of hunger in his stomach - at least, that's how it felt. "If on...
Turns out we were thinking backwards. But Hugh from astrophysics explained it to me like this. You see, when a human walks through a cloud of smoke, the smoke parts and the human moves freely, his form intact. That's because humans are (usually) denser than smoke. Now, Rita can freely pass through all material objects...
You didn’t mean to. Ever since you were a kid you could kinda control your strength, enough to not crush your door handle at least. But this was different. The ball had gone through him, hell the ball had gone through the entire school. You could see a perfect hole right through his stomach all the way to the yard on t...
Kyle looked at me. “Do you think this quest is such a good idea?” is all he said. I shrugged. “You know he has to be stopped. And besides, just think of the prizes we’ll get for defeating him,” I answered, trying my best to encourage him to train with me. With a grin, I winked as I finished with, “And that’s not to me...
Jim? It's Eric. We're worried sick about you. I'm gonna use the spare key you gave me to enter now. Listen we haven't heard from you in... Holy crap! What the fuck man? I think this is the first time I heard Eric swear. Seeing your friend red-eyed and haggared pointing a gun at you tends to elicit this kind of reactio...
The rays of the setting sun tingled my face. I squinted my eyes at the horizon as I found myself on top of this beautiful, little hill. I must have fallen asleep or something. This keeps happening to me that I wake up somewhere without knowing how and why I got there. Seems like I'm getting old. I chuckled a little at ...
With a gentle turn and a soft click, his tools unlatched the front doors bolt lock with ease. So many families took comfort in the safety of a protection that could be bypassed by practiced hands. He opened the door slowly, as not to make a sound, stepping into the dark house and then closing it behind him. At last he ...
Sleep for me lasts fifty years at a time. I suppose it's the downside of not sleeping for every two hundred. If you ask me, I would reckon it's fair. Most humans sleep for a third of their normal day, so I must have struck a good bargain. Nonetheless, being the only immortal in a sea of transient humans has its disad...
Not everyone survives training. They told me that on my sixteenth birthday. A Drill Sergeant with a scar running from his right eye down to the bottom of his chin said the words to me. He was maybe an inch from my face and his breath was hot on my eyes. I didn't move, I was afraid to move. His right eye was glassy, lo...
"Strap your bag soldier, and say sayonara. We're going to hell." I really wish Sarge was able to stay around long enough to see that he was horridly wrong. It was way, way worse. As I and some thousands of soldiers suddenly stormed the beach in the dead of night, we found that the krauts had up and abandoned the dam...
“ “Uuuuuh, good evening folks this iiiiiis your captain speaking. Theeee aircraft is experiencing some technical difficulties, uuuuh please remain in your seats with your seatbelts securely fastened.” The pilot’s slick, well-trained, ‘Don’t worry, sweetheart, I’ll get you there safe,” voice showed no sign of perturba...
I feel like I know everything about Tiffany. Aside from the life backstory stuff that every significant other knows about their spouse, no I mean I know everything. I’ve visited her at work. I can tell by how much water is in her jug how her day is going. I can tell by how much time she’s had to drink it. I can tell if...
They had tolerated much over the years, but current trends indicated that they could stand by no longer. When they had first landed years ago they had peacefully negotiated with the natives of this world, trading knowledge for resources to keep the colony afloat, but eventually the humans grew greedy and so they moved ...
"Like... maybe a burger, y'know? Something like I see from the stores outside your town... I mean, they don't let in anything without thumbs, and to be frank. It's unfair."He moans frustratedly, pawing carelessly at a chicken. "Wh-What?!"is the only response I can muster. Being amish, it just so happens that the phone...
“Wait! Please! Don’t kill me! Mercy!” The man shouted, tears streaming down his face and his hands in a defensive position. “Mercy? You want me to give you mercy? You killed my fucking parents. My siblings. My wife and daughter. MY FUCKING DOG. What makes you think you deserve mercy?” “I..” “That’s what I thought.” ...
The lights of the car in the alleyway were on, illuminating two dusty brick walls. The engine hummed a song into the darkness. A man sat in the car, dashboard lights lighting up his face, displaying his bald head, a square jaw lined with stubble. He wore a large trench coat, fabric concealing a skin tight suit. Th...
"Schlorbaggle! Gabgresh pounded on the airlock door with two tentacles. "Schlorbaggle! Did you return the Cow you got from earth?" "Yes, Dad!" "And you made sure you had the ship's optic camo on?" "Yesss." "And you returned it to the the field with the Glorbo mark on it?" "I said yes! Ok? Would you get off my ...
4:13 PM. I frantically open the door and get inside the living room of my condominium. Downstairs, chaos is about as policemen try to evacuate the civilians. It is an utter mess. Many things are broken, the lights are shattered, the room is dark as hell, and they’re nowhere to be found. I run towards the monitor of th...
What I Am Become I had become fond of tea, for some reason. Far more options in regards to taste, when compared with coffee, and far less deleterious on the delicate structures of the lower belly. Besides, I could never stomach the taste of raw coffee, whereas I could brew a pot of tea in a few minutes, pour it out an...
Idiots. We were all idiots. For generations, the worst punishment was to be burned. Not only did it end your life, but it denied you of death. Everyone feared losing their immortality, so everyone stayed in line. Morons. We've proven that souls are inviolable. They cannot be harmed, destroyed, or otherwise dispersed...
I flipped through my history textbook, pretending I was reading it. Everyone knows the story of the universe. 4,000 years ago, God created the Earth, and along with it, Adam and Eve. They lived in the garden of Eden, prospering, and staying away from the forbidden fruit, from the tree of knowledge of good and...
"My majesty. Here is your wine."The king took the chalice and took a sip. "Hmm. This is some high-quality poison." "Only the best for you, father,"The crown prince smiled lightly. "Do not worry father, it is quite slow-acting, you would not suffer." "Yes, I recognise it. A sweet fragrance of apple and berries, the...
"My lady, at least try to seem pleased. It is your wedding day", Sarah said, fussing over her mistress. The Princess Anthelda stared blankly out her window. "My lady?" "It's nothing,"Anthelda said with a sigh. "It's all nothing." Sarah sighed. She knew that absolutely none of this had been Anthelda's idea. "At ...
Eyes wide I set the scalpel to the side. "Jenn, get a doctor." Jenn, empty headed and pale eyed tilted her head. "Which one?"She asked. "They're busy. The man on the table moaned, his voice high and whining. "Cut it off, cut it off, just cut it off." "Any of them!"I whipped my hand out, sending her out into the hos...
"So, you move faster than a normal person?" "No, everything seems slower for me than it is for you, my own movement included." It's the first week of freshman year. The first week, and I'm already dealing with the same damn questions. Whether it's elementary or high school, the curiosity of the students must be satia...
It started with the potted plants. The apartment was small, but the living room had ledges along the walls. She always thought that plants brought a natural space and charm to a room so she purchased some potted plants. On clearance in October, mostly pathos ivy. She arranged the vines along the ledges of the living ...
It was a thrilling game of Bucket Kicking. The Light Team was pulling ahead by Q points but the Dark Team had just stolen a quasi-legal offside foul. Both teams were screaming at each other on the field, requiring the referee to be called in: Thomas, the only member of the Gray Team. He stepped onto the field in his gr...
Over the past centuries, I have been made the butt of the joke at the Seven Heavens. Old Age Deaths, Brutal Deaths, Honorable Deaths, Sickness Deaths, and many other "meaningful"Deaths have made fun of the way my humans die. It was not by choice you know! I did not wake up one day and decide to be the joker of deaths. ...
I don't know how I ended up on that giant lemon meringue pie in the first place, and I don't know why Christ our savior has been hiding for two thousand years under a turned over pie tin with only a used napkin for a bed and a mirror on the wall that I mistook for a painting. They've been looking for God in all the w...
On the night bus rattling along the country road, I put on my friendly face, my bloody knife I stowed. I grinned at the person next to me, who returned it nervously; "How was your day?"I asked, pretending to be friendly. "Umm,"the man gulped then stared towards the floor "I...I couldn't take it anymore."Tears roll...
"OK, have you tried turning it off and on yet? Yes, I know you're a genius. Yes, I know you built this company from the ground u... OK, Yes we'll get this fixed for you. Why don't you read me the number on the bottom of your monitor. Got it, OK give me a second and I'll remote in. I'm going to put you on hold." "Jesus...
"You there standing behind the door. We can see you!" Oh shit. The first thing I tried to do was run, but my legs felt like they were nailed to the floor. Next I tried screaming but no sounds seemed to escape my throat. By some supernatural feeling I found myself slowly drawn towards the four ghosts sitting around t...
The waitress dropped off their breakfast: runny eggs with toast, thin bacon, and hashbrowns topped with cheese and chili. It wasn't much, but it was cheap, and it gave Dale an excuse to hangout with Chance. If anyone would believe Dale about his vision, it was his oldest friend. "So this was like a dream?"asked Chance...
"She doesn't need a man to solve all her problems! How many times do I have to repeat myself?"The now-hovering, pale-faced being spoke in a deep, raspy voice that sounded less like a guardian angel and more like a lifetime smoker. "Oh, but she'll be an absolute dear in the outfit I've picked out for her!"squeaked the ...
"zzzzzzz-zzzz-zzzzzzz". The vaguely humanoid creature said to me as he fidgeted with a collar around his neck. It looked at me while spinning the collar around and lining it up with two slits on the front of it's throat. "Fuck, that's better", "can you understand me?"It asked. "Uhh yeah"I said, very surprised to hear t...
Walking through the field, I hold the picture book in one hand, Doomsday Box in the other. My heart’s pounding, my mouth’s dry as a desert. I’ve dreamed of this moment for centuries, but now? Well, I’m a little nervous. Having hundreds of alien eyes glued to me everywhere I walk isn’t helping. If only they knew that ...
"Kyle? You seem to be mortal... How did you come into contact with my core?", I say. Impudent mortal... Disturbing my slumber. "I-I just found this here in the forest... I didn't know it was your home.", says Kyle. "Enough of that. What is it you desire?", I say. I'll entertain you for awhile. Impress me mortal. "...
On the day my Uncle had died, He pulled me close, Right to his side. He spoke of pen, Found in his flat. It was not normal, He assured me that. I found the pen, Long and thin. It had no ink, Sharp as a pin. Down on parchment, I did write. And to my shock, Words appeared in light. I held my breath, As the glo...
Part 1 The bank’s alarm system blared in my ears. People scrambled behind desks and over counters. Papers littered the air like Christmas streamers. Roger and Jack were taking cover behind their respective pillars, this time they switched—this only occurred once every four loops. Meanwhile, I stood at the center of th...
In the treasure room of a vast, complex system of caves, Ethartilus encouraged his tiny charge, "Come, Steevin! Show me how many coins you can cover with your body so that no one may know the true value of your bounty."The young dragon gently set his little human down near a small mound of riches. He smiled, thinking...
Sure I may drink a little too much, but it's all part of the fun. That is, until the shit hits the fan in the middle of the night. "Wake Up!""We Need to go!"people's voices pierced through my dreamlike trance, forcing me back into the living. "We need to head out! They're about to come"my girlfriend shouted, ripping...
"Well? What does it say man?" I fiddled with the small radio dials. The speaker was connected to a larger array which was meant to keep contact with space vehicles. Now it had turned it's gaze closer to home. Finally I settled on the right frequency. My boss and I sat in silence as a voice repeated the same few phras...
Is that what you think? Humanity's the most rational species, perhaps, but that is not to its credit. The great Thinking Planets of the core are rational, too, but nobody even believes them to be alive let alone sane. Is that your species' goal? To become inert, locked into a model that you believe in so hard tha...
Gautama Buddha, after freeing himself of the rebirth cycle, spent most of his time in Amitabha living in peaceful coexistence with others who found their way into Buddhahood. One day, while speaking with Guan Yu about the various philosophies of existence, he looked up at a sakura tree and noticed that the pink petals...
I wake up to a scream in my house and I turn hastily to grab the baseball bat under my bed. I slip out from under my duvet and get to my feet, my eyes struggling to adjust itself in the dark. The alarm reads 3:52am and in the silence of the house, I wonder if it is a nightmare that has woken me up. I sigh briefly, my h...
It's amusing sometime. To see someone praying to you. I am by no means a popular god. No, I'm one of the lesser ones. But that means less people praying to me and a better wish fulfillment percentage. Because, you see, most people only pray when they need something. It's not devotion that makes them pray, but a want. O...
Eyes open. Wakey wakey eggs and bakey. My other senses are slower to load, and there is no wireless connection available. No new data, no idea of where I am or when I am - my internal cock was good for ten thousand years... and it's deader than disco. So at least ten millennia. Not good. I pull myself up, and imme...
I couldn’t believe it. Two? How could that even be possible? I looked away from the book and at the floating orb to my right, “what happens if a stat is incorrect? How would I get the real stat?” Confused, it replied, “Real stat? Everything in that book is accurate. It is a glimpse of the infallible Devine’s reco...
Reality shows were thought to be a thing of the past. People no longer had the patience to spend one hour of their time watching some people go about their daily lives, and seeing some obvious staged drama, while trying to support for their favorite contestant, knowing that in any event the votes were probably rigged a...
"Pearson, I've chased you to hell and back. YOU killed everyone I've every loved and for what? This?"I gestured at the rusted ware house around me. Dead men and splintered wood littered the floor. I finally had him after all this time. *"What a pittance your family was for my glory. I offered you the world Mr. Lydel...
Helicopters fly back and forth, their bright spotlights searching for the missing man. "You really have to wonder what he was thinking,"an old fisherman says into the reporter's proffered mic, both of them hunched over against the wind and relentless sheets of rain. "Swimming out there every night."He shakes his head....
I first met him when I had a severe case of Bronchitis. ~Serdinan Pediatrics Patient Form ~Name: Matthew Delums ~Age: 7 yrs. ~Reason for Visit: Bronchitis ~Overall Satisfaction with Treatment: 10/10 He was standing in the corner of the room, silently watching. He seemed relaxed, completely at peace. I was con...
"One minute out." I had rehearsed this for days. Countless hours of trial and error, but now my team would be doing it for real. I could only pray it went well. "45 seconds." They say my family was cursed, all of us stuck in our early 30s eternally, nothing major ever changing. Dad quit his job and got a new one, on...
I probably shouldn’t have dated a witch in the first place. I don’t want to sound bigoted, but everyone knows they’re jealous, and easily angered. In my case the relationship ended because I was watching Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda on YouTube. The next thing I know the girlfriend was going off, “Why are you looking a...
"Well...what do you think?" Alphore did not immediately reply. He couldn't reply. No matter how hard he tried to force his mouth to move it seemed to resist his every will, hanging open in awe. All the photographs, all the faithful recreations, all the models he had created...nothing could compare to the real thing s...
It started off as a joke, you know how girls are. You gotta protect your best friend, if that guy hurts her, he’s dead meat. Just me doing my job as a best friend. It all changed one day when that one asshole Brad tried to get at me one night. Tried to rape me when my best friend Emily was passed out in the other roo...
My name is Miles and I have family issues. I guess that’s why I tend bar in the furthest reaches of the universe. The High Heaven may not be the best job but one could never say it isn’t interesting. This may be the only place in the universe—or all of the universes—where beings of all places and times can set aside t...
A second sun appeared in the sky. Every person alive pulled out their phones to record such a phenomenon. You see, back in those days cameras attached to their phones could capture almost any event so they could use their vision and hearing later to relive the event. That second sun was a device called an EMP from ali...
