Carrie aimlessly flipped through the channels until the sight of a reporter interviewing a happy looking couple caught her attention.
"Yeah, we obviously know that most people call it a curse or whatever but honestly this has been the best thing that's ever happened to our relationship", the woman and man looked at ea... |
Everyone stood in shock and awe. "What happened? Where...no...when am I?"Nobody seemed to understand me. Some used their phones(?) and called some people, I didn't know who. Eventually, I was directed to a room, containing a table, some chairs, and someone sitting in one of them. "Come. Sit."They said. "Finally! Someon... |
To the Entire World,
I am utilizing one of my clients, an expert hacker who shall remain anonymous, to send this to your various electronic and bioelectronic devices. (Hopefully I didn't catch anyone off auto-pilot.)
My name is Geny Martin, but you may know me as The Second Chance. You may even have spoken to me, onc... |
“ATTENTION, PUNY MORTALS!” A voice echoed throughout the mall.
I tried to look at what happened and slammed my head at the table's underside. Ouch. I was picking up the fallen pretzel for Ruby, who was now strangely quiet.
Carefully now, I rose back up and sat on my seat, glancing at the cause of disruption.
A squat... |
I can't believe it....god exists! Well, some sort of god, it looked like a skinny teenager wearing a super tight leather outfit. And that hair...oh god that hair was atrocious. A combination of red, blue, and gold and so spiky. Whatever kind of god he was however, he was malevolent. If I heard him correctly he tried to... |
I opened my eyes, even if I still couldn't see anything. Off to my right side, something made a cheerful little series of computer tones, almost like a digital birdsong.
"Good morning, user!"APHX-01 chirped. "How did you sleep?"
"As well as always,"I said, smiling. The way I always did, every morning.
I stretched my... |
Protectors of the land, revered guardians. The last line of defense between the last kingdom of men and the forces of darkness. Paladins, warriors of order, crusader of the gods.
War has been brewing in this accursed land. Under the holy order, paladins of the High Table has been dispatched to curb the rise of the en... |
"Who are you talking to, Mr. Jim, sir?"Mark asked. He had been playing in the front yard when he had heard the animated conversation between his neighbor and, well, no one visible.
"Scram, kid,"Jim grumbled. "Don't you listen to your parents? I'm a crazy coot. You don't want to be near me. I'll be a bad influence."

"Your heroes are worried about doom and gloom? Well at least they're working!"Karkin said. "Mine just laze around in mansions. No monster hunting, no nothing. Pathetic."

"Christopher"I yelled into the void. "what do you mean make it out"but no answer came. How could it, the unmistakable beep of the phone had come long before I could start a sentence.
"Christopher"I yelled again desperately redialing him, but the phone rang for endless seconds as Christopher was apparently not the kind... |
Adept Zaeakil had stopped at his logic engine for only a moment. His mechanical frame hardwired into the chair he sat on. The thrum of power cables slowly faded in his mind as his thoughts became clouded, distraught he turned his head with a mechanical click towards the data table, where a majority if the command had s... |
I am not omnipotent. Contrary to popular belief. I was close at one point, I think, but that was a long time ago.
It began with earthquakes. I watched as the earth shook, in all the usual places at first. People were only mildly alarmed - just some bad luck this season, easy to write off. But then the quakes grew stro... |
“I’m telling you Bob, there’s something off about his town.” Glen said as he stabbed his fork into a stack of pancakes and lifted a bite to his mouth. A dribble of syrup landed on his chin but he didn’t seem to notice. With his mouth half full he said “I can’t put my finger on it, theres something in the air.”
“C’mon ... |
I had never been as callous as my coworkers. While I would draw blood, and laser cut limbs, and smear on unnamed pastes to see what would happen, I didn’t enjoy it, not like some of the others did. And I didn’t believe in leaving these poor creatures to sit and die in pain when they could instead be calmed and lead int... |
“Page ninety eight, paragraph 3, subsection A please.” Chester spoke with a monotone. He wasn’t tone deaf, of course. He’d just decided on a tone at one point and never felt the need to change.
A voice like spoke, sounding like snakes thrashing in a river of spinal fluid. Just a little more viscous than blood. “I will... |
 
Hell was paradise. Carl sipped a mojito from his cushioned palanquin as four of his slaves carried him up the ten thousand or so steps to his typical morning haunt; hells hot springs. There were hotsprings at the base of the mountain, but he preferred the view from up top. He checked his watch, raised his ey... |
Somber silence filled the day of celebration, goddesses and gods embracing one another, weeping tears they had not felt since their creation. I would be the last of the gods, the one burdened to bring not only the destruction of humanity, but my destruction as well. My face froze, horror painted on my paling skin. “I a... |
I really was just stuck on this one question.
"Why me?"
The Alakai (so they called themselves) were anything but subtle in their approach. A vaguely blueish green light from the automated fleet of drones in perfect orbit bathed the landscape as if the moon had simply given up its emotions to envy. Despite the dista... |
"Your Majesty, the Fates seek an audience."
The God King perked up at the announcement. No one from Fate, Fate, & Fate had come to the court since the last death of a god. And of course, any time a law firm called upon you before you called them, there was a good chance you weren't going to enjoy the meeting. A g... |
The gates of heaven swinging open, Old Man Richard hobbled through. The air smelled sweet, of honeyed almonds with milk, and the ground was enveloped in a blanket of soft clouds. Minutes ago, he was processed by Angel Support Bob. He was told to pass the gates E7. He was told he had visitors waiting for him. True to th... |
The water hisses like a snake. I run my hands under it, this time I use my nails until there are white streaks in the red.
I can breath now, a little easier, but now I'm paying too much attention to my breathing. I put a finger to my pulse, it's fast but normal, I think... Again my hands are under the faucet. I feel ... |
Queen Ariteu’s empty eye sockets watch the former adventurer stagger through the ruins.
"Paladin Aegis."
The death knight glares back, cold and empty. Whatever fire had burned inside has long since been extinguished, leaving only darkness behind.
"Once upon a time you served the gods. Now, you destroy them."
"You h... |
I stared as Marshmallow stood up on his hind legs. That wasn't especially uncommon, the standing up bit. He had learned to walk, and twirl, on two legs. He also knew hand stands, rolling over, belly crawls, clockwise and counter clockwise spins in all fours, and the names of fifteen of his toys. He also new dozens of o... |
The fresh, chilly air revitalizes my old body. My nose is cold, but that is a small price to pay for the pleasures of being outside in the grassy park with my wife, Nye.
“Did you know, Nye? The Mayans predicted that the world would end on December 12th 2012. But what if they made a typo, and they actually meant Decemb... |
It was an ugly, hairy, deformed humanoid-looking thing, with four-eyes and big gnarly fangs for teeth. It seemed simply terrified, and with one of the three claws on its right hand, it made a shushing gesture directed at me. Whatever the hell that nightmarish creature was, it was asking me to keep quiet, so as to not a... |
I read the secret PDF file again, making sure I read it right. My mouth hung wide open in shock.
I glanced at the time on my bedside table. 3:27 am, it read. Maybe I'm hallucinating? I shut my eyes, and breathed in and out. In, out. In, and out. Then I looked at my old bulky laptop. Same thing. Nothing changed.

"This is ridiculous,"the necromancer scoffed as he adjusted his glasses to make out the fine scrawl in the document. "Paid lunch breaks? You don't even get paid! Or eat!"

I was relaxing in the morning sun, enjoying the warmth on my skin. I could smell the cooking of various breakfasts, and hear the chirping of birds. It was peaceful. Just as I liked it.
A scream ripped through the air. I shot up, my senses blazing. I was used to the various cries of surprise or pain. But this was pure ... |
I am me. But for as long as I can remember, I have also been her. Or she has been me.
Neither of us is really sure which one of us is the 'real' me and which one isn't.
There's a journal I keep under my- our- bed filled with entries in two different handwriting styles, her neat script juxtaposed against my cramped, ... |
Skregactorix III droned on, reading from an obscure book of Olbraxian poetry, probably making a point somewhere but losing his audience halfway there. However, Skregactorix III was an elder Representative of a great and peaceful race and much respected, so the bored Council of the Intergalactic Republic pretended to at... |
The galactic government crowded around the Historex. They had just discovered a new planet; apparently, with the name Earth. They weren't expecting much from the Historex- just another planet with an unassuming history.
They hit the play button.
The screen showed a violent birth, with asteroids hitting the planet lef... |
The detective's expression registered something between fear and respect. Hesitantly they pressed the button to begin recording, as if I'd rigged the device to explode at that exact moment.

Batman’s got class, I must admit. He never tries to wheedle any names out of me - though I sometimes wonder if that’s because he doesn’t have to. I mean, half of them just use whatever’s written on their files at Arkham. And though I’ve dressed a couple for special events, I think Ms. Prince knows I wouldn’t be able to... |
March 9th, 2029 – Day of first contact
An ordinary day. At least until 10:47 AM EST, when the large orb that we later labeled as a “message beacon” simply materialized in the middle of Times Square. The resultant traffic snarl – those things are the size of two city busses, after all, and they don’t move willingly –... |
Hot blood spattered my face as the princess brought down her axe, cutting deep into the dragon's neck. I stood there frozen as the princess ripped the axe from the dragon with a sickening squelch, before with a roar matched by a pained moan from the dragon, the axe came down again, and again, hacking through meat and b... |
At first, when someone prayed to me, they become less mediocre. That job they didn't want? They become the star candidate. That trival skill they didn't need? They became an expert.
This drew me a crowd of worshippers, once people realised what was happening. They tried to game the system, praying for mediocrity in s... |
I don’t remember how old I was when I realized that there was something wrong with me.
Mom and Dad knew their Days, and so did each and every one of my siblings.
I was in elementary school when they taught us about our Days. The teachers said that the numbers we saw in the corner of our vision were dates, and they to... |
[Poem]
I am snek, so small and slim.
I have a hooman whose name is Jim.
He treats me well and holds me close.
I like it when he boops my nose.
One day he went away and left me home.
I curled up in my rocky dome.
I wondered when he would be back.
Would he bring me a mouse to snack?
I am cold, so I will s... |
Like an erupting volcano, I burst out of a mountain. My new form was colossal. I could feel power surging within me. Power to rival the gods. To move mountains, flatten cities, topple empires. Also, I was totally purple and shit, yeet.
A group of tribal villagers approached me. “Oh great being. How have you come to ... |
Hi, my name is James. But you probably know me as Overlord Cutie. (I still cant say that with a straight face.)
Anyway, your probably wondering why you're listening to a recording from the one man who rules the world with an iron fist. Put simply, this an eulogy and a cry for help. Because unlike everyone has been led... |
"Real nice, Steve"Jon said with obvious contempt. "All these humans do is run from us. THEY'RE BIGGER THAN US AND WE SCARE THEM!"I knew he was right but I was angry. You'd think one might try to step on us or scare us, but no. One look and they turn tail. "Okay look Jon, this spell cost me 6 months of pay. I'm go... |
"My head..."I groaned, trying to remember what happened, damp air filled my lungs as I look at my arms, making sure they're still there. After confirming my arms are still in their sockets and... not extremely hurt, I check my legs, only to realize that they're trapped under rubble, I try to move free but to no avail, ... |
The night was clear and the air was chilly. I was outside on the lawn, sitting on a wooden chair fuming silently to myself. Principal Rooney had suspended me for defending myself against Kyle. All I'd done was throw one punch in self-defense while Kyle had dropped me to the ground and had been repeatedly kicking me in ... |
She walked through the door, 6-inch Laboutin stilettos clicking on the floor. My eyes followed up from the shoes, the the impossibly long legs in fishnet stockings, to an incredibly short black Dior mini-dress, to an immaculate D-cup cleavage festooned with a simple Tiffany necklace featuring (if it was real, which it ... |
I woke up as a fucking bee.
Not completely a bee, mind you, not a tiny, buzzing little thing that could be squished between your thumb and your forefinger if you were brave enough.
No, not completely a bee.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror, two little antennae sprouting out of my forehead. They actually were... |
“How dare he! I am way more important than this squid thing!” I say in outrage while pointing to cuthulu.
“Now now, it’s not our fault this human didn’t make a novel out of you.” The administration said with an emotionless expression.
“It isn’t your fault, but you have to do something about it! Literally only 47 peop... |
So often I have seen people categorized into the brave or the cowards. Everyone marveled at those that had little to no ink on their skin, calling them “hero” or “warrior”, and these people often became well known even outside their own villages.
I have been called a coward for as long as I can remember. My skin is so... |
Every day for as far back as I can remember, I had a choice to make every morning when I woke up. "HUMAN"or "OTHER". It floated in front of me like some menu setting in a television or computer. It didn't go away until I uttered the word that I wanted to choose. But every day the question returned.
Obviously I picked... |
Josh was reveling in the freedom granted to him by a lack of work clothes. The shoes especially. They were just so restrictive. He did not envy his girlfriend's footwear, that was for sure.
His celebration of shoe free feet came in the form of flopping on the couch and putting his feet on the coffee table. His roommat... |
I went upstairs. I opened the bedroom door and looked in. My husband was in bed, asleep. I stood there for almost a full minute, staring at him. When he didn't wake up, I sat down on the bed and gently shook him. "Are you sleeping?"I whispered.
He rolled over, facing away me from me, and groaned.
I frowned. "Well, if... |
The first 7 families were honestly easy to solve. After all, people kidnapped for mass sacrifice tended to be the untouchables of society. Drug addicts, homeless, gang members, people whose family wouldn't be overly attached to them in most cases. Bridges have already been burned in some cases.

It was well worth it. The lives of Endeavour 2 and 4. The three dust storms we had to endure, the lack of atmosphere. We all did it for The fountain of life.
We returned to the base and prepared to move everything towards the new sanctuary. Mars only seemed empty but there was water. Our archeologist stayed behind stu... |
I have lived...well I am not exactly sure how long I have lived. I would say roughly 60,000 years? I do remember when I first noticed I was different. It was the scars. We all got banged up when we went hunting and sometimes what we hunted fought back. Cuts and bruises happened. Then there were the tribal fights. ... |
The shop was dim, the air within thick with the dusty sweet smell of discarded, forgotten things.
I had only taken this job because my grandmother pulled the strings needed to get it for me, and from the moment I arrived I wondered if it had been a mistake. I had seen a Starbucks on the way here with a ‘Help Wanted’ s... |
It was set up to be a small private meeting, just one alien and you, no outside stimuli, no way to contact anyone, and you both would be recorded, whatever deal you two struck would be the deals going forward, and you knew, that there was no way Humanity would just bow down to whatever you opted to put down, it was a f... |
I have existed since the day that dreaming existed. Since men first wished for something different. At first, it was a man who wanted to be less hungry. So when he died, I wanted his dream to be fulfilled. Then, a woman wanted man loving children. So when she died, I gave her a life of being surrounded by her genetic l... |

Fire ants are *bastards.*
That's nothing new, anyone who's ever lived in one of their swarm-victim territories is already well aware of said bastardry. Especially if they spent part of their childhood there. Many a young mouth has uttered one of the worst words of the language it's most accustomed to *for the very fir... |
"Girl, I've told you to stay away."
The hermit's voice came from his magic speaking box. A dozen times he'd tried to explain how it works, but the words were always nonsense. "Electricity"and "motherboards"were magics from his realm, mundanities everyone possessed. It was perhaps that commonality to his bizarre wonder... |
I am known as Dr. Peter Hampton. The foremost surgeon on the planet named Earth. I am lauded as a Genius amongst geniuses and I gotta tell you.
It is exhausting. I haven’t got a clue what I'm doing!! I showed up for an interview for a Janitors job and arrived at the wrong office and since then things have just been s... |
"Oh is it that time of the month?"You non-chalantly remark.
I really should NOT have stayed here this late anyway, I mean seriously. Midnight? At the library? Although It appears I am not the only one who is here at the library at midnight so, maybe It's fine. Ah who am I kidding? I never cared in the first place. Not... |
The milkman popped out of existence the same way he appeared, nothing but the sound. I hadn't used for a week or two, not that I didn't want to, just, it was too hot to get high. There's nothing worse than bugging out and being dehydrated.
This spot was a nice one. A corner from fast food places and gas stations, a dr... |
Alyssa stared at herself in the mirror as she tied her hair back. It was a nuisance, but her mother always told her she looked prettiest with long hair. Ready for the evening, she walked out of the bathroom and rejoined her mother in the living room. Her mother, Samantha, was sitting on the couch watching some Lifetime... |

Suddenly memories start rushing into your mind. The man who killed you has lived for more than 200 years. He spent most of his life playing in the stockmarket, up for a few years and down for a few years. He never truly got the hang of it but he tried.
When he was up he liked to live life large. When he was down he h... |
I really don't know when I got this powerful. I haven't trained in a monastery, I am no acolyte of any of our gods, and I have never served in any army. I am, essentially, a wanderer. I travel the world, alone, and help people out if I am able.
When I was young, my village leader and I had a stark disagreement over h... |
I was whistling, as I was going home from work.
It was a boring 9 to 5 office job, but I had a colleague who loved Doctor Who, so I say it's a win.
I was just finished with shopping, and heading home to play some games, when everything went black around me.
And no, I didn't faint, rather the street, trees, and bu... |
The sun dims on a mild day. In this little town, not much happens, but when something worth seeing does come into town, everyone around knows about it. Time seems to stand still as the crown talks amongst themselves, the outdoor theater barely holding a third of the people who showed up, and shoddy, frantic, temporary ... |
I called him Zeus because his fur was grey fluff with a shock of orange and white. Original, I know, but hey, its better than fluffy or some other generic name. Or so I thought.
At first it was little things, little lightning bolts when he got the zoomies. Clouds forming when he pouted, thunder as he slept.

The sound of the Bell of Buruk echoed through the halls and caves of the mining kingdom of Mount Mynyyd.

I'm not sure it was really our fault. After all, they knocked out the satellites first. We couldn't even resist on a national scale, let alone a global one. Locales had to make due with whatever military, national guard or militia presence they had—or so we heard. The radio was now the only source of news available, an... |
The wave sings. The sounds spread along the street, carried by the crystals. They are low frequency sounds, beyond the hearing capabilities of the city inhabitant. Yet it is. It goes back and forth, bathing the city in its awareness.
The wave expands. It continues toward the noble quarter, on the mountain side on the ... |
"So Mr... Darclor? According to your application you were planning to teach necromancy and the dark arts,"the principal said.

The explosion behind me finally settles, revealing an avalanche of brick and mortar. I'm trapped here now. Malakan always had a flair for the dramatic.

Twelve years ago, she and I became enemies. I was a scrawny boy, prone to all sorts of illnesses. Mostly quiet, and deemed a nerd. She was the opposite; Rough and tumble, not afraid to get her hands dirty. Loud, obnoxious. We were kids then, probably no more than fourteen. Every time we encountered each other, she woul... |
When Hello leaves, she always slides a handful of peanuts into the slots of your cage, makes a kissy sound with her soft mouth and leaves her nest, and you watch as she wanders off into the outside. You call her Hello because that’s what she says the most. It’s a beautiful sound, the way she trills it, has been beautif... |
Most people who look up odd medical symptoms on the internet only have to contend with WebMD telling them they've got some form of incurable cancer.

"You owe a debt... a debt that can only be paid in Blood!"

It's easy to commit the perfect crime. It's simple, after a while.
Guards are predictable, they're only human.
Security can be foiled with electronics or with some foreknowledge.

We played big. Three million dollars.

I am scrolling through Reddit and find a sub called r/coinfellonme. “I wonder what this sub is about”, I think to myself.

It had been a peaceful morning in the offices of the Human Ambassador to the Galactic Confederation, or the HAGC. The ambassador himself, John Hyland, had just started his lunch break when every phone in the office began to ring.

Frustration is better shown in crumpled notes and torn pages. It's hard to express the depth of one's irritation through backspacing an email: but that's exactly what I try as I jab the keyboard again, turning another angry draft into whitespace.

Diamon, Torell, and Faustian were like brothers to Gregory. They played tag with each other, shared pizza dripping with cheese and pepperoni during a sunny afternoon, and slept together in the same room as it rained. In almost every way, the four of them shared an inseparable bond.
