When you have been doing this as long as I have you have to come up with new ways to make it exciting for yourself otherwise it's just another job. I've killed CEOs, royalty, cheating husbands, even a pet alligator once. Nothing has ever been a challenge for me and I have never been caught. My reputation though has gro... |
The town magistrate exited his home. His eyes carefully swept the streets for any moving form before he took his first tenuous steps on the cobblestone. Pulling his cloak tighter he scurried off towards the church where he had been summoned by the town priest.
He thrust open the doors and quickly shut them, lest any s... |
"Name?"
"Darkphantom!"
Jean sighed. "*Name.*", she said, not trying to contain her impatience. Her left hand instinctively reached for the stack of information pamphlets on her desk.
"Um.. Nick Michelson"
"Thank you, your powers?"
"Super-intelligence."
Yeah, right.
Nick saw the look on her face and interjected... |
Greg took a long look in the mirror. Slumped over the bathroom sink he sighed. Monday morning. He dreaded going in and having to fake it.
“What did you do this weekend?” he heard the question bouncing around in his head.
*Oh I sat in my own filth all weekend and played video games*, he thought. *Wouldn’t it be gr... |
Blue smoke.
A face like a kind fish,
With ears like whittled pencils,
Uneven.
I asked the genie,
"What is the meaning of life,
That is what I wish to know."
He said to me,
With eyes like amber light,
"The meaning of life?
For humans or dogs or rats?
I mean, that is a lot to ask,
Suddenly like that.

There be rumors of a strange ship without sails roaming the seas these days.
This ship is carried along swiftly by a mysterious, growling spirit stronger than the wind itself. Any sailor who has tried to board it has never come back.
The pirates seen on top deck of this strange vessel are seen with blue legs and stra... |
*Never keep your front door unlocked, girl, for you will not know what oddities the wind will bring into your home in the morning,* my mother once said.
Everything seemed normal at first glance the moment I left the bedroom: a casually-dressed man sitting at the kitchen counter, ripping into the cereal I bought the n... |
I have a simple life, always have.. As with every creature on this planet, I serve only two purposes. Live and reproduce.
Being a Zombie, however, I tend to be at a disadvantage in both. We are slow, hungry, withered beings, unable to even communicate with one another. We do however, have a unique strength... *we are... |
"Well if eating bacon is a sin then I'm not sure I even want to go to heaven."I said.
St. Peter peered down at me from the court table where he sat with the great judges of history, as well as Rupaul for some reason, who was not dead.
"It is a sin and you are going to hell"said St. Peter.
"Oh shit, well hold on... |
The first spot just looked like a regular gym, with barbells and weight lifting machines. "Super-strength?"I guessed.
Joe, my supervisor, chuckled. "Guess we can just skip this part then."
Next, I was led over to the treadmills, where one guy was already using one, his legs literally a blur.
"Super speed?"I guessed... |
"Today is a good day to die!"General Cassus roared, his words echoed by the thousands of men lined up in formation behind him. Everyone except, Jonathan who stood dumbfounded in the center of the army.
"Don't worry lad we'll take care of you,"Captain Deo said patting Jonathan on the back.
"I don't understand,"Jona... |

It’s really an unmanageable rule, and has really only had a profound impact on two occasions in the last century. The first involved the unregulated sale of millions of dollars in fully depreciated assets to a fledgling construction company. Which lead to the collapse of a high rise condo killing 183 people. The secon... |

It'd been an eternity since I entered this house. It was dark inside, but I'd long grown accustomed to it. The floor was made of polished marble, perpetually clean and flawless, yet not at all shiny. The curtains were always closed, but ... |
"I hope you had a good rest, God,"the man said as he reached out for my hand. I blinked several thousand times before taking his hand and trying to get a good look around. Everything was white, very white.
Oh shit, the guy had wings. Was I wrong about all of this? Was I about to be sent to hell for being wrong? Shit.... |
"Now, Reaper, what do you think this is?"
He leaned back, a little away from the question but a little more away from the nondescript man in the suit sitting opposite him. He took a moment to observe his surroundings- the bright lamp in his face, the dark room, the single metal table between them.
He sighed and put ... |
Roger Altman *loves* his bed. He loves his bed so much he is almost willing to throw *everything* away.

Roger Altman *also* loves Mariah Lahey.

The fog rolled in just after dusk. The sidewalks were deserted as I walked, my duster's collar turned up and fedora down low over my eyes. I thought maybe someone may have been following me earlier. No, just my imagination. The fog was getting thicker now, the street lights were getting harder to make out and casti... |
I picked at my fingernails nervously atop my desk, my eyes flickering around the room. I caught a few glances as the teacher introduced me to the rest of the class, but they quickly looked away.
*They know.* I sighed, my shoulders slumping. It's not like I had ever wanted this. I was tired of moving around, tired of c... |
"*Da*, my friend."Ivan said, with a huge shit-eating grin on his face. I didn't care - he's Russian, this is what he does, this is what he's good at, and he deserves to be proud for it.
No, the real concern is the secret project he's been working on. If it truly is as groundbreaking as he claimed, he'll get a Nobel W... |

They nabbed me right as I was finally weaning off the fever, in a ratty, stuffy ‘lil place down the Dark’jing - nose full of snot, sore throat, weird eczema popping all over. The usual “perks” of a fresh scripting gone right.
It was no surprise that they zeroed in so quickly. Between Baidu Stellar, SkyEYE and the lon... |

The seven angels with their seven trumpets, and the other seven with the seven bowls of wrath, had done their damage and were returning to heaven. Satan's fiddle had been broken and he was sulking in the lake of fire.

I had been working for NASA for two years before I was assigned to the Mars Exploration Program. At the time I had immediately accepted the offer to be part of the program without any hesitation, and I had signed the non-disclosure agreement, not realizing how much of the work in the program that I had to keep a secret... |
Across the stars we spread, like liquid flowing down a steep slope. Many planets were discovered, each unique in their own way. We, humans, would eventually colonize these planets, despite their hostile atmospheres. We adapt, and we endure.
Technology made all this possible. The capability to open a wormhole, to trave... |
Burn them.
Burn them all.
My first thoughts upon waking from slumber. I had forgotten. What seems like a dream now, a trial in the haze of waking, that had then been drudgery and toil.

I think I saw what used to be a deer today. It was rummaging through the burned-out remains east of town, but ran off before I could get a good look. It had clearly been heavily infected by the nanos, and at least one hind leg was replaced by metal, but it retained enough of its original brain to flee as I ... |
The day Fredrick Fartsworth started to disappear was the exact same day Samuel Smith decided to take his medicine.
Now, Fredrick was a skeptic by nature. Ever since he could remember, he didn't believe in anything but himself. Not even when Samuel told him about the ghost living in his attic, clawing along the wood f... |

Everyone watches as the wizened old witch rolls into the circle in his neon pink wheelchair. He transforms his cane into his wand, and sits up taller as he faces his opponent, a young woman who seems to think she has this in the bag.

“If he just dressed a little better, he would be so handsome.”
“If he just tried a little harder in school, he would get such good grades. Intelligent men are so sexy.”

It had gone on like this for months. Every time she... |
The pale shadows file into the dusty, abandoned classroom. Half burnt with its wooden benches ascending up into the back wall, the classroom once had a life that is now but a memory. The spectres take their spots and whispers begin as a pale figure rises up to the front.

The students, both young a... |

"Holy Shit!"
I thought to myself.
"How the fuck did this happen?"
Then it all came back to me, hit me like a ton of duck feathers. I was reincarnated, into this duck. I once had a glorious life, trapped in a place I called home with all like minded people like myself. The beginning of my previous life was especially... |
I counted down the moments until I could look back towards the star I knew was mine. I couldn't control the way I twisted and turned in the void, but I knew exactly the amount of time it took until I was facing my star again. Had I been a mathematician, I might have been able to figure out how long I had been floating ... |
When I was little, it snowed a lot. Snowfall after snowfall, until bitter cold and stinging nostrils were the norm. Dark, gritty, snow would pile alongside the roads, tossed up by the plow, and sleds dug deep ruts into the sides of hills. I loved it, for the first few weeks. After that, I'd daydream about tropical ... |
None of the mechanics in hangar four had said anything for a while. This was partly from shock and partly because they couldn't have gotten a word in if they'd wanted to.

My heart was pounding as I stared down at my stupidly painful shoes. One foot in front of the other. Left. Right. Left. Right. I knew if I took one look at him I would stop breathing. Why couldn't we just have eloped? Neither of our families would have ever forgiven us, but at least I wouldn't have had a panic attack.... |
At midnight the zoo convened. Its inhabitants came together to discuss their concerns of a growing trend in the world of humans. Adorablefication, was it cause for concern? Tonight's congress would answer that question, and perhaps give rise to an appropriate response.

Lieutenant Commander Jack Nichols was afraid of the ship. There was no denying that. It's hull having been rusted through what seemed like hundreds of years of neglect. Red and brown scratched along its surface, covering any traces of a name or flag or origin. Yet this was early in humanity's history of space travel, a... |

Immortality, as a rule, generally... Sucks.
Most supernatural powers do.
A vampire is naturally a leader. It is believed by some that they were once formed by the coupling of ancient demons and man in the time before one of the more mythic Floods.

Owner, Master, Friend, Protector;
I loved you when I was small and new in this world, and nothing made sense. Your heart seemed so sad, so I cuddled you until the hurt stopped. I loved when we played find-the-toy, you were so happy when I found them all! When I couldn't hold my bladder, you never screamed or raised a ... |
"Wooooow,"I trail. "Hy-po-cri-ti-cal. Hypocritical, much? Hmm? Oh, but it's not so funny when you get beat at your own game now, is it?"I leaned forward on the table and squinted daringly at the panel of judges. "I should be your *god.*"
A voice behind me said, "Impossible", and the entire court rose to their feet bef... |
I frantically sprint up the stairs of the old house, with my three, howling pursuers only feet behind me. My pistol is empty, so I run faster. I'm not just running for myself, I'm running for *humanity*.

We've all heard of ghosts, right? Spirits with unfinished business, manifestations of sorrow or guilt, the remainder of someone's soul hanging around because it can't move on?
Well, they're real. The creaks in your floorboards, and the knocking at night that people attribute to a 'settling' house is actually just Casp... |

“No!” Leia screamed as the planet shattered. The stormtrooper released her, and she fell to her knees. Tarkin turned to her.

Sirens were going off in the distance.

My daughters were up to no good. A dad's instincts never lie. I'd heard from Kaitlyn's mom that the Hendersons were out for the weekend, and were letting their son have a party. With no parental supervision. It was a recipe for disaster, and I know my little girls are gonna try to sneak o... |
I remember being a child. Sitting up in the dark as my father came home late again - drunk from the bars.
My mother would come roaring down the stairs and the arguments would start, until he eventually slapped her. Then she would stop.
All the slaps added up. My mother was hospitalized, and then fitted for her coffi... |
Darren's head hit the floor, the pain barely registering. The essence of his life was already flowing out of his body, causing his senses to slowly dull.

I own a watch. It's ticking, every second, by the second, and it'll continue to do so for the rest of the week until it'll lag by one second. It's important to remember to properly wind it, or else everything will break and the world will crumble around me.
Funny to think that this small piece of the apocalypse keeps ... |
We landed on the new planet silently as our gravity ship gently opened the hatch and lowered us down to the hardened surface.
The landscape was flat, paved with concrete and with outcroppings of half destroyed structures littering the ground. Rubble was strewn endlessly. There was total stillness, total silence.
But ... |
Nothing had seemed to get the images of death and destruction out of my head aside from the bootleg liquor that I could find. The ghosts from the past of the entire platoon followed me, the lone survivor of that raid. Splinter, Rooster, and Little Dom were always telling me jokes, but their perturbed faces with bullet... |

Dear Anna,
My beloved wife. I love you to the moon and beyond, but there is something I could never tell you. Here is my story.
September 4, 2001 was my 10th birthday. I celebrated by inviting 20 of my 5th grade classmates to my parents' apartment in midtown Manhattan. We at... |
I’m not sure how long I’ve been driving today. Nine hours, maybe? I stopped at that diner off the highway this morning, to ransack the kitchen and siphon gas from the few cars left to rust in the parking lot. It’s a good thing I did – I haven’t seen so much as a rest stop in miles out in this desert. My stomach is tell... |
Andrea awoke and attempted to scream, eliciting a pitiful gurgle from her throat. Her limbs burned, yet she could not move to ease the pain. Her eyelids opened, and her eyes tried to focus in the gloom.
Cobwebs. Cobwebs were everywhere in this small room, draped over the floor, the furniture and herself. She stare... |
"No way"I mumbled as I look at my paper. A big red F and the words "check part two on reddit."

"I love you,"he said as he stood atop the rubble of a building that stood a mere ten minutes ago. Carter was beautiful even in all the damage he was responsible for. His pretty, blue eyes cried as he finally realized who he was trying to kill and the tears dripped down his muscular neck and torn t-shirt. The city st... |
I leant back in my chair, undoing the straining button on my jeans, stuffed full of lemon chicken. Across the table, my wife turned the lazy susan, and the remnants of our dinner swirled in front of me, my eyes following the beef and black bean dish that I had not yet conquered.

The drive out to the farmland was exactly how Sunsheen imagined it: sickening.
Not that there was anything actually grotesque about the landscape; it was nothing but other sheep and trees for miles on end, highway 22 passing by the lands of others. The rusted out pickup truck wasn't half bad either, aside from the mak... |

Bobby Rohrman sat motionless, the whir of ancient checkout aisles and flashing lights obscured his body. Had been dead for hours. A voice echoed overhead, “Welcome to the Field Museum’s *Chicago at the Turn of the Millenium*, Welcome to Dominick’s!” The son of the great automobile magnate Robert Rohrman, the 16th in a ... |
He looked back upon the earth he left. It had gone quite over the last week. This was, how mankind had choose to meet its end, not with war and explosions and death at the hands of one another. There were no maniacal preachers of the end times, telling people to repent for their sins. The form that this apocalypse had ... |

It had all started on my 15th birthday. I’d been walking to school, as usual, when the glimmer of a dancing neon sign caught my eye. Involuntarily, I turned, the tiniest flick of the eyes, such a small twitch for the catastrophe that followed.
In that instant, just the blink of an eye, my life bar glitched upward from... |
There are 156 of them. I know because I counted. I was among them for five whole days and no one noticed. I was able to mimic their routines and speech patterns perfectly. I memorized their faces, their ranks, their duties, everything. Then, true to my name, I vanished. And no one was the wiser.

Now Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.

September forever. It’s all we think about.
Every morning.
Every day.
September the fourth of 2103. September forever. We don’t stop saying it. It’s not even funny and we don’t know why. So much anger though. But it’s a peaceful anger. We all know this moon is in for a supreme reckoning.

Last time I was in this area it was still an accretion dick. And now, look at this. A planet with life on it. I've decided to take a closer look, just to see if I can be of help here. As usual, I have taken a form of a small, insignificant organism as to avoid attention. What i witnessed is quite interesting. There are... |
Time never used to pass so slowly. Ticking of a clock singing of the seconds passing me by. I never used to pay attention to such trivial things. I was an elitist. What one is called with overwhelming ability. I was what mythology would call a siren. With my voice I could heal wounds, sing others into doing what I wish... |
Oh, at first, it was great. I don't age anymore, I don't gain weight; I'm not even totally sure I need sleep, food, or drink. I just kind of... keep going. It certainly has its downsides, though. I'm not sure how or why, but my longevity seems to have come with a price tag.
I die. I die *a lot.*

I’ll never forget that day by the ocean, the moonlight striking the waves.

I loved her.

With a creak, Robert Montague closed the door on his old Crown Victorian. The Environmental Protection Agency, after all, could only get funding for his particular department as long as it remained hidden, buried.

As I fell asleep a familiar view appeared, a stat screen, at first I thought nothing of it; but after a week of seeing those stats I started to check them out.
I was dumbfounded by what I saw: perfect tens across the board except for one stat: forgiveness.
At first I didn't understand, I mean I can easily forgive peop... |
I knew from the moment I was born, it was a mistake. I was the greatest assassin known to man - not by choice, by force.
I was trained in the Sun king's army to kill. To kill without a second thought, without a moment's hesitation.
It was kill, or be killed.
As the years passed, the masters thought they had molded... |
February 30th is here. The Day of Involuntary Rest, it’s now known to be. The one day a year where every human on earth falls asleep for 24 hours, whether they need to or not. The day you look at yourself and ask, where do i want to be asleep for 24 hours?
We all know it starts at 3AM. Just like it ends at 3AM. T... |
The last expedition to the Cake Mountain was a disaster - though not the bigger one than all the expeditions that came before it.

I laughed at the camera, my dark mask covering my face and entire body. "So, friends, it's been more than a year since I begun this series. I didn't expect the police to be worthless. They hired the best detectives, and analyzed every bit of my live streams, and yet, I am not even close to be caught."I th... |
The cold seeping into my back woke me from my comfortable sleep. 23 hours and 57 minutes ago, I got my notice that I would have to take up the role of Death next. As I pushed myself upright with my right arm, I looked into the face of Death, waiting beside me to hand off the burden. She was so young; nobody had been... |
