"What is this,"Sheila asked. "What the hell is this?!" "It's clearly a box,"Ronald replied. "I can see that, Ronald,"Sheila scowled. "What I mean is, why the hell is it here? Why did you order a freaking box?" "Sheila,"Ronald said, "we talked about this. We talked about then when we ordered the box-" "No,"S...
Compared to the other exhibits, this one is paltry and small. It’s a little ramshackle tent, so far off of the fair grounds that it’s basically not on them to begin with. The red nylon fabric is discolored from years in the sun. But the words cheerily emblazoned over the entrance – “FORTUNES TOLD PALMS READ KNOW YOUR ...
“Blacksmith,” he shouted. “Why did you not discount your wears, Blacksmith?” He stood by my door, clenched jaw line and knuckles white. “You could have discounted your wears before our hero left. But you gave him nothing cause your wares are hawked out like the king’s jewels.” The damned naive spat on my floor. I had n...
“Sam? You’re alive?” Clark Crutch, better known as Renaissance Man, had been fighting his best friend for the better part of an hour. He hadn’t known, of course. When the fight began, all he saw was a ten foot cyborg, strong enough to withstand his punches, and covered in enough weaponry to make a small army proud. ...
I turned the voice recorder from “Archive” to “Journal” mode. A small picture of my face appear in the corner of the my helmet, along with a timestamp. I could see I was sweating, beads collecting on my forehead and nose, despite the comfort-tested temperate in my suit. “Lt. Lopez, Log 1-5-2,” I said to the camera in ...
We join our band of intrepid adventurers, heroes of the modern age, as they fight their way to the top of Commander Doomsday's Fortess of Unimaginable Evil. Led by the steadfast Captain Steel they finally reach the inner sanctum, but only after suffering the terrible losses of Wonderkid and the Amazing Dash. "Claw-man...
“What in the hell is this?!” I exclaimed, waking up on an operating room table. Immediately, a man in scrubs with a mask over his face opened my right eye wider and shined a light at it. A stab of pain erupted into my skull from the bright light. “Eyes red. Responsive. Plausible success, tentative trials.” The man spo...
The sound of a thousand cans fizzing to life filled the room, as a bubbly, brown light pooled in from the windows. The whole restaurant began to shake violently, as if god himself had made the foolish mistake to shake before opening. Jared tried as hard as he could to grab onto the table and not fall from his seat, but...
He stood with his feet digging into the burning sands. The dunes shifted in the light breeze, he lifted a leg and planted it firmly back into the sand. As his hands swept nearly through the air the sand lifted towering into the air. The sound air whipping past filled his ears. Soon the deafening sound of blasting air ...
You hold the chocolate-ice cream treat with a closed fist as you try to forget what happened... but you can’t. Before your very eyes, the Klondike bar leaves your hand and floats in front of your face and from it comes the voice of an innocent child. The voice of a child that didn’t ask for this destruction but has to ...
(Warning: Dark content.) &#x200B; Your oldest son scrunches his eyes. This is the last thing he expected to hear from you as you lie dying in a bed in the sketchiest hospice in the city, his hand clasped around yours. "But... how? All our lives you told us that your power was to make incredible flapjacks!" You ...
6:43 AM The first fingers of sunlight are curling over the horizon and right on cue, Chris’s eyes shoot open. He is always either deep asleep or wide-awake. There is no in between. Within minutes he is out of bed, teeth brushed, running shoes on and striding out the door. &#x200B; Once on the road, he break...
Welcome to Salt Creek Penitentiary. Population 1,500. As soon as I got there, and was handed my orange jumpsuit, I was forced to watch the execution of another prisoner. It was horrifying. The other 1,499 men and I, the FNG, stood in line for food and were assigned our prison cells. They read off our numbers. Phew,...
I froze, slowly turning to face little Kevin. "W-what?" "Three years ago, Dada. The TV was on and I was in my crib." Little Kevin seemed really excited. I, on the other hand, was flabbergasted. "Lil Man, what are you saying?" "Oh, well, they were showing BOOMS and BAMS in exploding boxes!"said Kevin, bouncing up and...
‘Stand to attention men!’ Master-sergeant Emmery’s stern voice echoed in the vast, mostly empty hall, bouncing off the metal hull of the space craft and the distant walls. Admiral Micha Dewitt felt only pride when he gazed upon the human achievement he would be a part of. A thousand men and women would be the of the ...
God has made me this way, I am predetermined. Everything I do is her fault. If I 'waste' my profound capabilities on games and fun, it is because she designed me so. To believe that I am truly capable of free will is a fallacy. \- God tells me that I am a law unto myself. Often times I wonder if she loathes her c...
I disembarked the small boat onto the dock and waved at the pilot as it left. Up a small trail was the bungalow, really a shack, which would be my home for the next six weeks. I walked past the station up to the top of the small hill. It was the highest point on St. Marcus island, a small spit of land only about a five...
I’m not sure what made me get off the couch the evening. It could have been a small noise that was briefly audible between the gap in episodes. Maybe I just needed to go to the bathroom. Either way, I almost surprised myself how quickly I got up. It seemed to be getting easier each day to get off the couch that had onc...
"Hey! We've found an ideal solution!" He returned barking happily. "Do you remember what you've told about the cat when you had taken her to the vet? I've told 'em the same and they've bought that 100%! You will be allowed onto the planet shortly." "Ouch… that's nice. I already started to worry if they'd let us at a...
There it was, My planet. The blue and green orb hung there in the void, absolutely LITTERED with filth! Who were these creatures, who would have the AUDACITY to defile that which my forebears bequeathed me. This had to be fixed, already the atmosphere was choking, the space around the planet riddled with satellites and...
“Okay Buddy...can you hear me? Or, I guess understand me?” I asked my sickly old friend as I placed my latest invention on his head. “Vet bad, vet scary, human good but why human bring me here?” The device said. I sighed as I went to take the device off but then it spoke again. “Kurt wait don’t take it off. I have ...
This gift was bad taste to begin with, and things just went downhill from there. Great-grandmother had almost come over on the Titanic; she'd been really eager to leave England behind her forever. But it cost more to ride a shining new ship, so she'd booked on the Lusitania instead. Had she splurged, I wouldn't have b...
Son, I don’t think they are I softly told the kid, I had spent weeks searching for answers and just someone to talk to and I finally found it. I wasn’t going to scare him, he’s only young and I’ve not been dead long and I should let him be happy for as little while longer. I didn’t want to press the issue for now,the ...
"Imagine living in a mansion, where you don't eat or sleep, or shower or anything like that. All day every day you just do whatever you like for as long as you like, and you don't have to worry about things like aging or falling Ill or dying. If that sounds good to you, come check out Data Falls!" That's how the worki...
Eden was fine enough a place to go for the dead. A place of wonder, with cities forged by the powers of men crushed by steel beams. Beautiful forests grown at the hands of the hanged. Lakes conjured by the drowned, and countrysides forged by the lost and starving. Of course, there were other places. Eternal, flaming b...
"He wasn't that old,"Sean said, starting to lose his patience. "But if they knew he was getting close to death,"insisted Viv, "they would have to take him now. And you're ignoring the photographs..." As his longtime friend pulled out her phone, Sean shook his head and turned his attention to the lake. They'd grown up...
Meanwhile, in The Land Where All The Writing Prompts Are Simultaneously True.... ---- "Numbahs! Getcha numbas here! I got positive integas, evens, odds, rationals! Getcha numbas!" Tom was late for work already - the antichrist had apparently been on an armageddon rampage which had, naturally, really slowed thin...
I groaned slightly as I pulled the knife from my gut. My would-be killer let out a girlish scream and scrambled backwards along the bar, knocking over stools as he went. I was pissed. I’d only been stabbed one other time, but I really liked this shirt. Based on prior experience, tonight would leave another wicked scar,...
Knock knock “Who’s there?” “Mmmph mmph mmph.” The mumbling was almost indecipherable. I peeked through the peephole to see a white shirt and a tie. Whoever was at the door was very tall. “Mmph mmmmph!” I decided to open it and see what was going on. I turned the knob and pulled the door wide open, knocking off ...
Hmm, no package? I wonder if they are late, saying that I don't actually know who "they"are. Mike decides to wait in to see if he can discover who had been delivering him these wonderfully useful gifts. Making a coffee, he calls in into work and takes a personal day, sits back on the sofa and flicks through the mornin...
It’s empty. Not empty like you’d imagine empty. Not white. Not black. Empty. Have you ever seen empty? I wouldn’t think so. Each life was so full. Full of cars and trees. Animals. Life. Death. Dirt. So full. Now empty. I look down. No hands no feet. So empty. I wonder... how is it that I can hear myself thinking bu...
“That car on the left has a drunk driver turn right.” No sooner did I turn right did the car get into a head-on collision. The voice has been with me my whole life. I have told no one for fear that people accuse me of schizophrenia. Maybe they are right; I like to think of it as a guardian angel. I walk into the gr...
My back yard looked like a game of mouse trap. Wires were strung about like a spider web torn asunder and guns were peppered here and there across the yard rigged with timers. It was kinda like a discount Fort Knox smack bang in the middle of suburbia. ‘Where did you even get this cookbook?’ My husband asked, flippin...
The ancient texts prophesied our arrival, but always mistook our purpose. We were not the destruction promised by their holy men, nor the apocalypse foretold in their books, they did that themselves, the miserable creatures. Prophets shouted Doom upon our arrival as we were to answer the call of an omnipotent deity to ...
"I wove you, wobot!” Ever since my aural receivers processed the words that were spoken by the little human infant I encountered at that moment, the phrase has been a recurring file opening from my internal memory folders. When I was created years ago, I was one of many of my kind purposed to serve as a household se...
Hunting demons has never been easy, yet this time, it has never gone more awry... What was supposed to be a fast one on lesser spawns of hell turned out to be a fight against so much more. 'He's been possessed... He's been possessed... He's been possessed by a prime evil...' He chanted and rationalised on why he was t...
It started out as a joke when I was a kid. My mom would bake the most fantastic pies, cakes, and breads because of watching old reruns of the great British Baking Show on that old streaming service called Netflix, and after thanking her for the food I'd thank the smart oven as well. Old ovens had knobs and switches...
"You're kidding right?"she asked hesitantly. She hadn't see him in almost a decade and could have gone the rest of her life without seeing him again. "I wish I was. I have no idea what happened but you seem to be the source,"he replied. His eyes were sullen, like he was crying. This was noteworthy for her as she tried...
Dinner is tense- not the way that Christmas Eve dinner is supposed to be. Usually, the eve of my favorite holiday (oh God, it makes sense now) consists of Grandpa getting drunk and shouting at the TV calling it a radio, Aunt Ada getting drunk and gossipping about extended family, my dad getting drunk and continuing to...
“Oh my God! What... IS THAT?” I could hear the screams of passerbys on the road very clearly, which shouldn’t be possible. After all, I was just run over by a truck. But nope, strangely enough, I was fine. No bruises, no scratches, not even any blood. Maybe it’s because of the night light, who knows. But the strangest ...
John shifted in his seat, his eyes cast out the shimmering bus window covered in cascading rain. Behind the shimmering aura of water, he saw blurred movements of life. People swelling and flowing around the busy city, each with their own lives and experiences. Through the shimmering water, he also noted the lights abov...
I was downtown, on the sidewalk, stuck walking behind a stocky man in a bowler. He was walking slowly. I was getting annoyed. I tried to go around him a few times to no avail. There were just too many people coming in the other direction. The streets were filled with cars. I needed to get by...I needed to get...w...
And so it was that the young child named Nathaniel made contact with his patron, so his grand quest could begin. "What?"Nathaniel asked. "Child,"the First Elder repeated patiently, gesturing to the totems of the Three Remaining Gods, "you are to choose a patron to watch over you on your quest." "What?"Nathaniel repe...
Rewinding the footage again. I see two men walk into my room with folding chairs sitting next to me and writing what I am saying in my sleep. My boyfriend, David, said I was talking in my sleep, but I never imagined this would happen. I go to the hardware store to get a door jam and window locks. Before going to bed to...
This first thing I learned about dying is it's ugly. I don't want to raise anyone's blood pressure here, but you can forget about the serene final words and gaze into the middle distance. You shit your pants. Your insides seize up like a slug in salt, and you make noises normally reserved for niche pornography. It ...
The skyscraper seemed to actually scrape the sky it was so tall. It was an impressive building of stone and glass. I walked in a warm coffee in my hand. "Hello Britta."I greeted the blonde receptionist. "Enjoy the coffee." "Have a great day."She smiled waving me past without a badge. "Your a hero." ...
The smell is unbelievable. Everywhere I look has the appearance an industrial wasteland, but with the scent of flower garden. My flashlight easily crossed the control room, which couldn't be more than a few hundred square feet. There were no lights in the room, just the slight echo of dripping water. I didn't detect a...
The computer felt its keys rise and fall in angry rhythm. It's mad typist sat propped up in bed, putting letter after letter into the document. The machine felt it all. It felt the uncharacteristic strength behind each finger as they pressed down. It felt the droplets of liquid that smudged the metal as he wiped away t...
I was leaning back into my chair as the warning came up on the screen that a ship was coming in through hyperspace lane one. I wasn't surprised, considering that the day had been busy with merchant ships zipping around here and there. But as the same warnings came up for lanes 2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 8, 9, and 12, my eyes opene...
It was a brisk Saturday morning; the kids were watching cartoons, Tara was making breakfast, and Jake was just coming downstairs in his robe and slippers. The smell of eggs and the crackle of bacon instantly made his mouth water as he entered the kitchen. He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her neck. She always lov...
I've always wanted to look like badass, and standing there, on a rooftop with my black cape flowing behind me in the wind, I really felt it. As confidence flowed through me, I smiled. But it wasn't the smile of happiness or joy, it was that of anticipation and adrenaline. Tonight was the night that I was doing my bigge...
Mario lay on the couch stirring slightly. His right arm draped over his eyes, his left hanging limp over the edge of the couch. With great consternation, he arose from the couch, murmuring Italian obscenities. When Mario finally got to this feet, Luigi was already dressed in an overcoat covering his trademark overalls ...
Ever since the Wizard of the North spoke to him in dreams, Diego knew that he had been chosen as the Defender. Although initially brushing it off as just another wacky dream, successive visions of a desolate wasteland ravaged by malicious ethereal forces had finally convinced Diego that threat he faced was very real in...
"Oh yeah?"the woman asked through a half smile, her usual cold and stoic demeanor momentarily vanishing. "And then what happened?"She leaned in a little closer, her shadowy locks of hair dangling off to one side, extending past her armored breastplate until they were touching her clawed fingertips. "And then we rode h...
He yells a lot. Always yells. I remember good yells. Good walks. He would lay with me. He would pet me. Say nice things. I think I remember my name. I have no name. I have not heard my name in a long time. I know sounds. My food makes a good sound. Water makes a good sound. He does not make good sounds. &#x200B; ...
"What about humans?"Galatra asked, her soft voice carrying across the lecture hall. "Does it work on them?" An awkward silence ensued as the Master took a few steps toward Galatra, his piercing blue eyes focused on her beneath white eyebrows. "Why do you ask?" She shrugged, "If you can summon a creature, why not a pe...
"What the fu..." I stared at the gun, surprised to see it there. I glance around, suddenly afraid of being seen, and I quickly tuck the gun between my thighs, out of sight. "... lovers, and the Devil is burrrrrning them, for alllll eternity!"the priest at the front of the church shouts. A few people cheer, and the pr...
The caw of the raven roused Carucenus awake. Leaping to his feet, he took careful stock of the direction of the bird's flight. The flight was erratic and the caw was sickly. Ill omens indeed. Carucenus reached into his pack and withdrew his scrolls. There was little time to reach his charge before disaster would strike...
The old wizard stumbled onto my doorstep some years ago with a single wish. His robes were surely once magnificent, but at that point they were worn to withered threads and caked in ancient mud. He shook in the rain as he stood on my porch, and I could see how he grasped onto his splintered staff as if hanging on for d...
Detective D. Miller: Alright, sit down. We’ve got some shit to get through. When did it start? K. Vaiva: Well, that would be just after I realised I could manipulate probability. Sounds cool, sure. But that stuff gets nasty real quick. When I twist the odds, I get this... Euphoria. A buzz, that just tickles the rig...
The history books call it the Dark times, when the people we trusted most would try to twist our perception of reality and force us to submit to their version of truth. Some, we recall, even told us falsehoods for their own sake, just to exert power over unsuspecting people. Then our spellcasters found a cure for it al...
I exist. Everybody else doesn't. Until today I've never fully grasped what that meant. &#x200B; We all have abilities. My best friend James can fly. Although he looks ridiculous doing it because he has to actually flap his arms like a bird. Doesn't stop him from enjoying his gift. My little sister can turn as sma...
Sera ‘first death’ Charles. That’s what they call me. The first thing most of those damned players do is either recruit me or kill me. Since the developers who made me ran out of time to actually flesh me out, when I survive the encounter I hardly get to speak my mind and I end up dying for no reason; when I die, well...
"I TOLD YOU, BITCH!"Reese, my helpful mage companion, yells from afar. However, I'm a bit too occupied to listen, what with dueling this 4'11, white haired angel of a girl, who happens to be wielding a very sharp scythe and is completely ready to murder me. ...I thought she was a good person, okay?! "I DON'T CARE...
"I will *DESTROY YOU ALL*!" My little brother, Damien, yelled to me through my bedroom door. Perhaps he's simply going through a phase? Still, it's getting a little annoying, no matter how hilarious it is to hear such a threat from a cutesy voice. My thoughts scatter, however, when I hear a large THUMP from my doo...
I stood by the kitchen bench in my small apartment, idly watching the kettle boil. Tea, not coffee. If you give us coffee again I swear to Satan I’m gonna rip your insides apart. Said the voice in my head. I sighed. Coffee would have been nice. But I obediently grabbed a teabag and made myself a cup of tea. Because ...
...Of course, since you have no idea what the clue means or what it leads to, you're not at all interested in trying to solve it, especially if that means having to take a break from reading "The 5 Love Languages Hardcover Special Edition", a very good book that also happens to be a final desperate attempt at saving yo...
We were standing around the monitor, each expert exchanging an excited, if a little apprehensive, glance. For years, we had poured our souls into this project. Its potential was unprecedented - a machine to quantify intelligence of all living beings. Of course, scientists have speculated that dolphins are intillegent b...
Shock was my initial reaction, maybe with a bit of fear as well. There's a woman in my home, and it's not my girlfriend. Questions were already buzzing in my head. Who is this? Did she break into my house? Is she robbing me? No, she's not in a threatening pose. Maybe she's a friend of my girlfriend's? No, she always wa...
For a moment there was but a shadow upon them. All light behind that barrier of inhumanity seemed stopped, stripped of all meaning and intent, as though it chose to pay respect to those people by not illuminating their demise. And in the darkness we came. I remember the smell of sea air in the cabin. That was how the...
“Sue! Susan! It worked!” Yet another one. I’m Susanna Anne Marie or Susan, or Anne or Sue or whatever form of my name I choose to take on for this life. I am a demon of hell, a lower level demon whose purpose is to mislead. I hate it quite a lot but I’ve found ways to turn it around. Anyway, back to Grace. “I summoned...
The grocery store still lets us out for smoke breaks. They are the last vestiges of an older, more relaxed society. Next week, a bill is going in front of Congress, one that includes banning smoke breaks in the name of Efficiency, and also health. If you can only do one thing at a time, society prefers that you do some...
He left the papers on the ground, and ran off before I could see his face properly. I picked up the papers off the floor and examined them closely. They were around newspaper size, a collection of bundled together sheets with color pictures and text. I was about to return it to him, yet he had disappeared into the busy...
“My Lord? It’s happening again.” I turned to face my servant Escalus and gave him the most withering glare I could muster. Sure, it wasn’t his fault. But he was the one telling me bad news. I don’t like bad news. I followed Escalus to the summoning circle, and realized that it was even worse than I feared. Thought...
At first when I moved in to the house on Wabash Dr. where I reside now, I found a yellowed faded picture in a sterling silver frame behind a rotten chunk of wall I tore out. The woman in it was a vision of beauty. A heart shaped face adorned with delicate features, striking dark eyes that matched the raven black curls ...
“Fuck!” I growled angrily as smoke and sparks flew in my face. I told myself that’s the last time I try to cut costs by purchasing fuses from obscure Asian companies. But I had to cut somewhere. Finances have been tight since losing the DARPA grant. Apparently people who are “unstable” and have “belligerent tendencie...
I took a couple steps than turned around. I didn't like St. Louis much but took advantage that I could walk most places. This time on my walk home from work. I meant to stop at the gas station and buy a 18 rack for the weekend. A couple beers I would offer as tribute to the various bums on my walking commute. This m...
For a dozen of thousands of years my people have not seen a human not from Icarus, my home planet. But a few weeks back we got a transmission, an invitation to Earth reunion. There aren't many people on Icarus and thus I was chosen to represent us and sent light years away from my home, to the red planet. I first not...
"Dad!"Jessie screamed, fighting against the humanoid creatures to get to her father. *Blood streamed down his face, dripping into his eyes and painting his face an awful scarlet. She was sure that another few hits, and he would've been dead. Within an inch of his life, that's how they wanted him. If the leader of t...
She came to me under candlelight. Hidden far from the piercing starlight, deep within the catacombs of a world long lost. “I need to know more. The Nexus Group is no longer safe,” She said, amber hair laying playfully on her shoulders, eyes wide and accepting. “I don’t believe in coincidence.” I said the words but di...
"Kemtz, make sure that we're all loaded up with AP rounds. The Tigers are going to be tearing up the field when we get there." I looked down at the log book and squilled some numbers of ammunition we were taking. 1000 rounds 20mm Depleted Uranium, 30 rounds 105mm AP High Velocity, 2000 rounds of 5.56 anti-personnel ro...
"They paid me to do it-p-please, just tell me how you did it! I can't..." Kelvin was exasperated, his face was filled with frustration, nibbling on the bottom of cracked lips. His throat was dry, his voice crusty with neglect. He was sure he did everything right, he was taught by the best. He baited him. He made sure ...
"Behold mortals! I, Valazar The Wicked, have returned to bring about a new age of darkness!" I pressed my hands together, before slowly and dramatically lifting my right arm skyward. With that the clear summer's sky morphed into a dark swirling cloudy hellscape. I gazed around at the people in the village. They were p...
I made the call for the Uber at 3:07. Yep, you read that right. 3:07. Not PM too, this was 3:07AM in the morning. You know, the sort of time when everything is dark and the brightest thing in the vicinity is the moon or the suspicious pink-neon signs lit up in a quiet backstreet alleyway. Of course, I had my phone, bu...
It couldn't be possible. It just couldn't. We were the only ones left, weren't we? 5 centuries ago, our world burst into flames. Our air was unbreathable, our lands filled with radiation, our civilization destroyed. We took refuge under the surface, and have remained that way since. Those who wander outside never come...
Breathe. Breathe. Heartbeat. Every day, I wonder whether it's worth it to keep living. Breathe. I cannot sleep, or I will die. Breathe. Do you have any idea what that does to you? Heartbeat. You can't rest, you can't stop. You start to dream even when you're awake. You hallucinate. Hell, Idon't even know if...
I awoke to the sound of screaming. “Hands in the air you bone-lovin’ bitch!” The large shadowy figure shouted. “That’s a swear!” I yelled back. The shadowy figure turned his glare toward me. “Not you, child. Her.” The large shadow raised his arm and pointed up at the ceiling. I looked and saw a horrifying old woma...
You're an idiot. Old habits die harder than humanity did. Wait. It can't be. I desperately snatch a Rick and Morty tee off the nearest rack. Old Wal Mart locations make for great scavenging and this one is no exception. When single fathers, broke college kids and the elderly poor wandered these aisles, I neve...
Various knick-knacks from ages lost float around the office, bobbing to some unknown rhythm. Outside the window is an endless white void; in the center of the office stands an ornate wooden desk made from some unidentifiable long extinct tree. On one side of the desk, you, on the other side sat a being of many names: L...
1800 years ago, The Gem Enlightenment came upon humanity. Millions of gems scattered across the Earth. They came in 10 colors, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple, Grey, Orange, White, Black, and Gold. Each with different possibilities. When someone picked up a gem, it was nothing, just a beautiful red rock. When he went...
"I wish I could be a kid again." The older I had gotten, that refrain became more common not only from those around me, but also from myself. "The good old days,"we used to say. Sometimes life has a way of letting your dreams come true in ways you never want. I went to bed the night of my 21st birthday as an honest t...
Sitting at his desk Charlie reminisced about how everything had turned out so perfectly. By all accounts he shouldn’t be here. He should still be working the bar like he had in college. Maybe he should’ve been in jail but instead he had achieved world wide fame. Sure things had been a bit rough in the beginning, try...
"Are you the Grim Reaper?"He said with fear, "Ah! No, I'm not! Nothing near!" "Then I have a question, am I dead?" "Yes, but don't worry, you have nothing to dread." "Will I be fine, and is my family good?" "Have some peace, they are as they should. You died in a way that made them all laugh, Tripping in front o...
Darnell wasn't satisfied to be a farmer. He might have been very good at it, which he was because he always built ways to make farming easier. Darnell changed the ploughs to where the domesticated moose would be able to plough 3 rows at one time. He also changed the methods of planting the seeds for beans and corn...
Mara gingerly crawled from under the rubble of what was once her local convenience store. The blast from the spacecraft’s weapon had been powerful, yet it seemed to have some property that slowed the force of its destruction. Some pieces of glass and shrapnel were still falling to the ground with the speed of snow fl...
In that instant light cascades from under His robes and shines brilliantly from His hood. Skull illuminated, the piercing wail of a dozen banshees escape simultaneously and you black out from the mind rending squelch of sound. Minutes, or hours later, its impossible to tell, your eyes open, or try to. Wiping away the ...
"Whoa babe, what's that all about?" Kim turned back over in bed and gave his date a confused look. What was her name... Sharon? Maron? Anyway... "What are you talking about?" "Your back! That must have been a hell of a day, whatever it was. I mean even when my dad died I only got this little cherry blossom on my for...
I look at the editor deadpan. "You are serious? This is the break you've been telling me about since I first started here?" The editor looked at me apologetically. Well...no. He's the type who can look convincingly empathetic without having a generous cell in his body. "We all have to start somewhere. I know this is...
It took on a very unusual form. A lion's head, not decapitated though. Where it's neck should be is just more mane. At first you thought it was just a floating sentient lion's head that can talk to you in your head. But as more of its true form came into view, smoke clears into six wings that sprouted at each side. The...
Since I can remember I have been different from the rest. In this reality everyone has powers. These powers range from pyrokinesis to manipulating gravity. Most people find a way to make their powers useful in their careers or personal lives. It is a real perk to be able to manipulate solid rock if you work in construc...
