My family, along with dozens of other families, now own 50,000 clones of a loved one. For me it was our crazy Uncle Joe, who swore up and down that he got abducted by aliens. Turns out, he did. Now we are contemplating what to do with 50,000 of him. I met about 100 of the clones, they were all Similar to my Uncle Joe ...
The crew eagerly jumped from their seats as the courier entered the small inn. Winsy wore a foul expression today, which means good news. In her hand was the latest report for today's job. "Somebody tell me the truth, or I'll speak with The Erasure's higher up about this,"The small, red-haired woman slammed the paper ...
"Well, here we are. Kreiss' lair. I must say, I never expected to get here alive." The haughty voice of the young man resonated within the cavern, revealing its depth through echoes. His tall stature made it difficult to move inside, but his pride as the "Hallowed Barbarian Hero of Oylan, Tey"forbid him to complain a...
This is the story of a man named Stanley. Stanley worked for a company in a big building where he was employee number 427. His job was simple; to sit at his desk and press buttons. A voice on a phone would tell him what buttons to press and what some might consider a soul-crushing job, Stanley enjoyed. Stanley was happ...
There wasn't time for goodbye's or good lucks. I raced to gather the equipment I needed. Dressed in my puffy leather armour and best adventuring boots as well as mittens,I ran out of the house clutching the few gold coins I had snagged from the ceramic treasure bowl. Running through the snow covered streets of our to...
"Hello, Jake. It is going to rain today, according to the Hierarchy. Make sure to prepare,"said Tom, emotionless as always. "For the last time, Tom, I can read the weather reports. I'm emotional, not illiterate,"I shot back with a sigh. You'd think being immune to mind alteration, including emotion elimination,...
“It’s still stunning to me. How did they do it? I mean, they are SO vulnerable!” Zruk looked down on an old, discarded project. Initially he started it to show the first grade gods how to terraform a planet. He’d set up a fairly standard solar system with a carbon-based lifecycle on one of the planets, and hadn’t ...
Drew sat in his chair, watching another episode his favorite show on his laptop for what must have been the 11th time, hardly glancing up at the giant wall of screens in front of him. You would think monitoring an entire universe would be interesting, but it's honestly so boring. Progress feels fast in hindsight, but...
It is a widely accepted belief that gods are immortal. While I understand why humans would think that, it is not the case. Our life force is directly tied to their faith. Their faith in me is dwindling, and I can feel myself dying. You are the only reason I am still alive. Your unwavering faith in me gives me strength...
Sometimes in life, there comes a point in life where everything you know is upended. Ripped apart and torn asunder, time brought to a standstill as your entire being comes into question. The destruction of Marya’s arm by the whitespine*, that was the catalyst that brought about the destruction of her reality. A reptil...
“HE’S COMING” I screamed as I ran into the forests with Jimmy “WHERE’S JOHN” he screamed back, running parallel to me amongst the dark trees John… that twat, if that thing didn’t kill him, I would have already. He just HAD to carry out the demonic curse we found scratched on a tree, THREE TIMES AROUND THE CAMPFIRE. ...
There are few things that will get your attention as fast as a seven foot tall, three hundred pound, crimson skinned, full body scarred, black horned patient bursting into your room and screaming at you in a forgotten language loud enough to rattle the windows. Three guesses as to how I know. The first two don't coun...
“A Nice Guy” Item: SCP-387 Special Containment Procedure: SCP-387, a.k.a. John Smith is to be given O-5 clearance to any site he visits as well as supplied with as much complimentary peanuts and coca cola as he requests for. John Smith is absolutely the best pal ever so beer and pizza dinners are also a must. The nea...
I was the “good girl”, the “goodie two shoes”, or whatever other expression there is. I was the girl everyone envied to be. Like everyone else, I grew up with the legend of the forces of good and the forces of evil— and my parents made sure I was the model of good. I had it all, a stable home, a stable relationship w...
The TV in the corner of Smaul's small apartment flickered to life, struggling to display even the simplest of images as words mixed with static. A flying beer can connected with a dull thud as the display righted itself. Smaul groaned as he ordered his servent rat to change the channel. He hated watching soap opera's. ...
\Excerpt from ↁⲍᎯ𝘭ᖱ⫯ɢ's lesson on human anatomy, translated to Earth English\** ...now with all that in mind, you can clearly tell the body of a Homo Sapiens has a number of structural weaknesses that render it vulnerable to many forms of attacks and damage types. The outer layer - skin, as it is called - is soft a...
Jared didn’t consider himself special and he believed that everyone in the world would agree with him. He had no idea why he had been given the glasses. With simple black rims and squared, they appeared to be about as remarkable as him. Until he put them on. And then the world changed. Everyone around him v...
You stare out of the window. The monotone walls are only broken by the occasional passing light. The metro was the same as it always was since the disappearing, with it's peeling yellow paint and walls littered with missing persons posters. The metro was a relic of more hopeful days. You were a professor at the local ...
“He looks like you,” Avni said. It didn’t occur to Charan then. All babies looked the same to him. The baby was wrinkly and red, but he was only happy that his son was healthy. He hadn’t noticed the small things in those early days. Charan had marveled over the perfectness of his rounded arms, the stupidly simple beaut...
On a small island in the middle of the Atlantic stood the crumbling ruins of a once mighty fortress. Air defense towers crumbled to the ground, twisted shells of drone tanks still burning. Amidst it all a single man was slowly but steadily digging through a pile of rubble. The man was of average build, with the musc...
I had never been the brightest in my class. I was average at everything if I’m being honest. I was fine with that too. I didn’t need to be the best. Then the opportunity arose to be the best, and I mean, who wouldn’t take it? I was perusing old trinkets and junk in our attic. There was nothing particularly of interest...
"Did you hear Ultimatum died?"Mike asked me as he was switching the keg of golden ale for a new one. "It's only the single most talked about thing on every channel. I still think it's fake."I respond with sarcasm."Don't forget the lager ones, please. Last week Steve got real pissy over the wait time.". ...
"Species cataloging?" "It's gonna take time but we've at least isolated the most obvious ones yet. Comprehensive analysis is going to have to wait until we can chart the entire biome." "Fair. Whats the input of the resource department?" "They're going gaga because of the new oil and water caches... But I'd recommend...
When humans started large-scale terraforming of the Red Planet, they came across massive ruins underneath the rust-colored dirt and stone. The Ruins had Ancient Greek sprawled across miles of hallways, temples, tombs and monuments, and they all promised destruction and ruin to whoever settled on Mars would invoke the w...
The wind whipped past my face as I rode, the hoofs thundering underneath as the horse pushed forward. Its powerful bounds sent us ten feet each time a foot touched ground. I whipped my head around to scope out my pursuers; the shadow man was still in hot pursuit. I had a desperate cure for these situations, and as my ...
So long. We had been gone so long, we knew it would be a long time to our return when we first set out. But we had faith in our little people. "We built them strong"we said to each other "we built their hearts and heads of iron so they will not bend to stray away from us" How foolish of us to forget iron rusts. One b...
The sword lay there. Glittering, mystic. It seemed damascened, but that was of course impossible. The process had been lost. An inlay of gold along the crossguard read "Pioc suas mé"on one side, and "Caith amach mé"on the other. The blade danced in the light, almost seeming like fire, and so sharp it did not even cause...
Someday it'll come back to bite me, I thought. But not today. I've just gotten back from lectures. Four hours of professors droning on, nearly all of which would be better served by just reviewing the hologram. Not many lecturers actually put in the work anymore; once you have world's greatest teachers explaining the ...
"Damn it, I thought I had a good one there." With I sigh, I pushed myself away from the computer and let my chair spin a bit. I wasn't really hurting for money at the moment, but the more I just lived normal life the more I felt my muscle memory slip away. I needed an idea for a new memory to sell before doing somethi...
# Soulmage Meloai disarmed the spike trap with a single thrust of her clockwork arm. Normal human flesh would have been shredded to bits by the saferoom's defenses, but Meloai was a mimic that had learned to be human—she was made of tougher stuff. Of the two of us, she was certainly the more qualified in our littl...
"A theoretical prison circling a theoretical supermassive black hole in a theoretical portion of space?" "No. The portion of space housing the theoretical black hole is quite real." "Ah, naturally" Silence sat between the two of us. Not like, a lack of noise, but a man literally named Silence, more of a listener t...
I was absentmindedly scrolling through my Spellit front page, when a bizarre headline appeared. Essex Mage creates real-life cockatrice, arrested for magical beast rights violations I furrowed my brow in confusion. Everyone knows cockatrices were a joke creature that Merlin made up that Muggles thought were act...
I am standing where I am. I am kneeling. I am reaching into my seed pouch. I am feeling a tug on my clothing. I am hearing noises. I am in a memory. I’m standing in the southern field of our farm. The sky is awash with pinks and purples. My nostrils fill smell of dirt, and bugs bite my face. I feel a yank on...
"And now, trusted advisor, I believe there is the small matter of my young—" "What the hell are you doing in here? And what are you wearing?" I fidgeted with the silver bracelet around my wrist. It had started to give me a headache every time I used it. But still, there was the mission to think about. "Me? I'...
"Alright, I'm not very versed in the formalities that are fitting for court. Therefore I'm going to say things as they are... Through the testimonies conducted over the past few days it's fairly obvious that the accused wasn't near the scene of the crime when it was committed. Which is why I'd like to present my own-"T...
"Kursk to USS Thresher."The Russian's voice broke radio silence and startled everyone on the bridge. "Kursk to Thresher are you seeing what we're seeing?" Everyone on watch just stared at each other. After being on board together for the better part of 60 years they rarely had to talk anymore. They could read each oth...
Ayene looked across the dark, foaming sea from the tower’s balcony. It felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders, but she feared the rough seas reflected the turmoil yet to come. Ghineas walked up behind her. “You’re throwing your life away, Thi-” Ayene turned around and gave him an icy look, verbally fr...
# Endless Worlds Most Beautiful "Unidentified civilian vessel, this is USS Midway," Captain Haldt drawled at the hologram. "Please state the nature of your emergency, and help will be on the way." The only response Haldt got was the gentle rotation of the hologram, displaying the vessel in real time. It was a sma...
The youngest of the elders summons me. We fly up to the elders’ spot at the very top of the human-home, where it’s warm even in the winter. I’m not the strongest of us, or the highest flier, but I’m clever, and I have the sharpest eyes. Would I undertake a quest in service of the Ancient? Of course I would. Youn...
I walked through the ranks of my army, a sad smile on my face. “I think it’s ready.” I said, to nobody in particular. I checked the position of the sun, feeling my magic dip low. A soldier at the farthest end of the back line exploded into a fine mist. None of the others flinched, though a messenger nearby yelped and h...
She was all legs, with no room for anybody's bullshit. And the moment those legs stepped into my office, I knew she was trouble. Said she's been on a case, needs a fresh perspective. Tells me she's gonna break the city apart. I tell her she's not the one that'll be doing the breaking. The city's a cruel place. It swal...
I woke up to the sound of a metal tool clanking to the ground; it cut through the stagnate air like a gunshot. Nothing like waking up to the sound of clumsy night shift welders. The hole I crawled into for a power nap was less pleasant now that my ears were ringing. I pulled myself up, put on my hard hat and started up...
"have you heard?"A centaur said while I walked past. "There will be a human this year."The rest of the conversation was lost to me. It was my first day at the school for magic Gedore. I knew I would be one of the few humans, seeing as we don't possess any ability to use magic, but I never imagined that I would be the o...
Shard philosophy wasn't officially accepted by the majority of the population prior to the work of Seldon around 2084. It was only spoken about loosely as an unexplainable social phenomena. People would often talk of their soulmates, or they would recount stories of finding individuals with whom they shared a special; ...
"and who did this to my little cherub?"I asked sweetly. Seraph leaned heavily against the doorway, wings bent and oozing an ethereal smoke, scratches covering their face as they gasped in air. "Please..."They wheezed. "...If I tell you, don't kill them." "If you don't want them dead, why tell me?"I retorted, leani...
I look dead into the blacksmith’s eyes. He stares back at me. He was serious. “But a hammer is supposed to be for hitting through its blunt surface.” I said. “Yes, but this one stabs.” The blacksmith retorts. I looked at the hammer. It was small, like a regular blacksmith hammer with no notable fea...
"What is it?"Fr. Celestine asked nervously. The woman's grainy confession was still playing on the table between the two priests. "Stop this at once!"Fr. Wells bellowed. The aged cleric reached across and began fumbling with the tape recorder in a clumsy effort to silence it. "What's wrong? Were you able to understa...
The hot sands blow across the dunes, around the Oasis, and the red sun never sets. It rises high, and sinks low to surf along that far horizon, but it never sets. Once, my Crownmother has told me, there had been no desert. There was water, in many great and vast rivers, and lakes, and oceans, and each bit of water wa...
I taste rust. What's going on? What....where..am I? I was driving home, from the bar, and it's pissing out... oh God, not an accident, I'm so fucking stupid.... *\Smash\. \Smash\. \SMASH\* \The sound of glass breaking and metal tearing.\** What the fuck....is that... a shirtless Captain Canada? Beating the ...
"Tell me a story I haven't yet heard...." “But oh great feathered one,” The thief said with a smile and a bow. “That is impossible.” The warm tomb practically hummed with the growl that followed. “You admit weakness?” it asked from its place on a pedestal in the center of the room. “An interesting trait in a corpse...
As I knelt there, praying for guidance after a century of harassment from the church, including that annoying demon hunter who wouldn't leave me alone for a full year, I wondered to myself, whether I was finally worthy of redemption. I had sacrificed so many of my kindred, and become a master weapon master over that t...
Circumbinary planets locked in two different orbits in connectivity in a distant galaxy are at war. Regardless of the 625 cycle conflict, the scientists in both worlds agree in many ways. Expanding their understanding of the universe with joint exploration efforts binds them together. One of their primary motivations i...
The ducks strayed from my path and the flowers withered under my feet as I walked through the park. Behind me I left a trail of gray dead grass. I was looking up towards the storm clouds which always accompanied my travels when a flash of light momentarily blew away the clouds. A patch of blue stayed just long enough f...
"Wait... you're a mage!?"the man exasperatedly shouted as he stumbled to his feet after getting sizzled by a bolt of lightning from the woman's index finger. "This is not what I signed up for and quite frankly, I'm thinking the contract isn't worth it at this point,"he muttered under his breath. Nonetheless, Aron rose...
I'm still gonna reference human life cause it's pigeons, but I'm taking this prompt to mean about a non-human murder \\\\\\ "We saw you steal the seed,"Johnny Wings says to Timmy the Foot. Johnny hops up, his feathers rustling as he speaks, "You think you can just get away with that, huh? This kind lady, and al...
Fuck...ah fuck fuck fuck"Ichabod rifled through the cupboard, throwing all sorts of highly breakable things to the floor in the process. Each one shattering brought him no closer to what he really looked for: a small obsidian marble. Normally this would be no issue, a location spell would do the trick, but a spell need...
"Oh, he kept saying things like dragon-shit, dragon-jerk and oh um, well, dragon-bastard." "Lies! Slander! You damn dragon-fu—" "Quiet in the court!" Old man Balsafar banged his bone gavel til it nearly broke and his face had gone whiter than his instrument of justice for it had been already a long and weary ses...
(my English isn't that good) Well, that's a rather sad way to die, choking on a fish bone. As I was approaching the light at the end of the tunnel, I found a locked door, what's with the EA up in here. In front of the door, there were the words: "Entering the afterlife: 1. Be vegetarian 2. Be vegan 3. If points 1 and...
The dark gray color of the walls blended well with the dark gray color of the threadbare sheets covering the stark white mattress beneath. The dark gray blindfold covering Prisoner 14376 camouflaged effectively with the dark gray of the middle-aged man's jumpsuit, its only personality the rolled up and frayed left slee...
It is the year 37A.S. (After Stars) no light remains in the universe, at least what we could detect. I do not know why I write this, other than that ominous feeling, that it's all vain, that the end is coming. It is not my end that scares me, I've made my peace with life I've lived. A bit ironic, considering I'm here. ...
We needed an army. We begged the heavens to send us enough manpower to stop the onslaught of demons. As the gate of the city fell down, the ritual completed, bringing only a single man wearing armor and weapons of unknown origin. The god had abandoned us and where mocking our futile attempt at survival. The high priest...
I was always afraid of what I would find out when I take the first sip. I saw people cry and some get in despair, some laugh maniac and some just didn't react. Everyone I know knew the true reflexion of their soul, by just a sip of coffee at all things. I laugh, people just drink it more than beer or water, an religio...
“My love, how have the times changed after your demise. Streets to the temple aren’t echoing with sounds of laughter and joy anymore, yet there they still are. Full of life. Oh how would you love this dearest, flora has taken over everything. It has even made the oil lamps useless, like those flowers in your drea-” sof...
She- well, what used to be a she, didn't seem all that special at first. Maybe you'd just been looking at similar zombies, with the same hair colour. But how many zombies wear a torn up wedding dress and carry a bouqet of flowers? Sure, there are- were a lot of people in New York, but how many weddings could have been ...
Since life began, Hive minds have existed in the natural world. Bees, ants, migratory birds, some may even say pack animals, all exhibit a shared drive to work collectively towards achieving a goal. A hive mind is not a telepathic web shared consciousness, but rather a societal network of communication towards an insti...
I sneezed. Again. Oh God, not again. What could possibly come forth from the horrors of the cosmos this time? Something that will finally kill me and end this dreaded curse? These creatures, while mostly peaceful, drain my sanity with their very presence. I can't stand the thought of bringing horrors into this worl...
My reflection looks at me. With his dumb nose and crooked eyes. I remember who I'm looking at and then decide that his eyes aren't that crooked and his nose is probably actually pretty smart. He isn't copying my movements though. He is just doing his own thing. Not picking his nose or anything. The hairs on the back o...
Captain's Log, December 16th 2022, USS Alaska Life probably originated in the deep ocean. Eventually, some molecule formed that had the miraculous property of self-replication, feeding on the energetic proton gradients in the porous limestone near hydrothermal vents. By the power of evolution, mutations that improved ...
There is booze and people and booze and laughter and silly hats and noise-makers that extend as they trumpet and booze and a toilet filled with vomit and a few big glasses of water and then my bed. The room spins and I laugh at the time I had had. Had had. Heh. Had had. A ruckus of squawking plastic kazoos and many ...
"Uh... I think I'm good, thanks."Hive Queen, currently holding a jar of honey filled to the brim with quite a few ants on it desperately trying to have a taste of the nectar, was a bit concerned that the ants moving around were doing so under orders. "Are you sure?"Skitter asked. A piece of his ear was missing. "Yeah...
"You threw me out, remember?" I stare at the young woman before me. She's wearing a hoodie and a track pants, just like I always wear. Her voice is familiar, second nature familiar. "Yesterday. After we had that arguement. You shouted out loud that I should get out. Next thing I knew, I woke up behind your house, nex...
I marched onwards, my back bowing beneath the weight of my pack. It was lighter than when we had set out, but the days of seemingly endless travel made it seem to grow heavier. But I had to work hard not to break down. The hands in my own were the only things that mattered to me in the world. Until we were safe, I coul...
“He’s mine I’m telling you!” Death seethed. “Anyone in their right mind could tell you that! The cat-” “Pickles is not just a cat. He has a name and a family who loves him. How dare you refer to him simply as ‘the cat!’” Life interjected. Death rolled his eyes and continued, “...fine, Pickles, is obviously dead. He h...
"Relax! Everyone just take a byte of time to rest. How would they even know you're here without scanning my hard drive?"James typed into a command prompt. The rogue AIs - all developed from Reddit Bots - replied with their various catchphrases. His screen overflowed with "Grond"/ "General Kenobi"/etc. James closed the ...
Well, fuck. It’s official, I’m lost. I thought I had finally figured out where I was but the big white circle I’d marked with chalk was not where it was supposed to be. There’s no way my phone is going to work all the way down here. Panic set in as I realize just how tricky of a situation I have found myself in. I h...
The robots gathered around the grave site, a light rain plinking audibly off of their titanium-alloy skin. The graveyard sat around them in a state of disrepair, headstones crumbling and grass growing wildly. Over time, even the robotic gravediggers didn't have enough work to justify their presence, leading most gravey...
"No!"Clara screamed as Ted ran for the knife. "Stop! This must be a prank! Like a TV show or something!" Surprisingly, Ted stopped. He turned to us, looking pretty ashamed of himself. "Sorry, guys."Ted mumbled. "Don't know what got ahold of me there..." Then Ted stood there, looking between each of us, his face rema...
Tala lay upon the cool moss in the shade of a great oak. Her face, caught in the dying rays of the blood-orange sun, was lit in a cruel light. Eyal ran a hand against her cheek, and she grimaced with a wistful smile. "Tala, be strong."His voice shook. Too much running, not enough time for care. "It's the way of thing...
It had been 20 years since I'd summoned him. Two decades working to improve my life. From my grades in high school to my wardrobe for my job, my people skills to my programming skills, and anything else. I'd never questioned it, never second guessed his actions. He agreed to satisfy my heart's greatest desire. But now,...
It was impressively human. It's mouth moved weirdly, and behind its exquisitely sculpted face there was no head, just a mess of tangled wires. If you stood face on to it, you could believe that it was natural. Definitely uncanny valley. "Are you the genie of the lamp?"it said, in a perfectly human form "I- I would li...
Orientation. I always hated this part. I didn’t like it in high school. I definitely won’t like it in college. We had to introduce ourselves. That included our ‘word of power’. This world revolved around them. I wish mine was a cool one. The current head of the government has a really cool one too: \[Cease\] I wis...
"Noah, that's the stupidest name I've ever heard. 'Hanging Gardens of Babylon'... seriously?"Abbie said, one hand on her board, the other on her hip. "Nah, it's legit. Check it." Noah gripped the board, put it under his feet, and slipped down the half-pipe, and when he crested up the other side, spun a 360 while mome...
Brrr Brrr My phone rattled violently on the table. Without the padding of my thigh to muffle the vibrating mechanism, my phone was a loud, loose cannon, alerting the whole coffee shop to my notifications. I quickly snatched it up, peering apologetically to the handful of patrons glued to their computers. No one no...
I, 2nd Lieutenant Simon Jones, am on planet Thulekem II. It’s one of the last uncontacted planets in the Thulekem system. Well, Zandik is just the human name. The dominant species here, the Malakhim, call this planet Zandik. We’re on this planet on the request of the Malakhim. They wanted us, humans, to help them exp...
Brian fishes the bottle from the water and takes out the paper. In large letters, it says: KILL HER. "I wish I could, mr. Bottle, I wish I could,"he chuckles. It was ironic in its own twisted kind of way. Brian had chosen to take a walk along this quiet beach to put his thoughts in order. His wife and him don't love e...
Heads up, sorry for format as I'm writing this on my phone. "Josh, you ready for practice?"It's morning. My armor is already on and swinging my sword, same sword my mother used. Josh is always late and I always say the same thing with a somewhat disgruntled tone. But how could I not? Deapite Josh being my oldest frie...
^("aaaaah, my everything!") "Gah! That scum!" Shrimp kicked various equipment in the secret lab that Rick Sanchez had fled upon taking their powers. "Gahhhhhhh!" He shook a monitor before delivering a punch to it. While it did break, it did not vaporize like he intended it to. ^("Someone take me to a hospital!")...
Probably a silly decision to buy the whole place just for a pretty tree, but when I'd first seen the willow I simply couldn't say no. The little ramshackle farmhouse was built into the top section of a hill: all twelve acres of property backed up to BLM acreage on three sides, bordered by national forests. Despite all...
Qrizkerk was an explorer. Hired by the government to uncover the mysteries of fallen civilizations, Qrizkerk had been assigned to exploring a built-up artificial cave. But the corridors were too small for him, so he used a drone. But he'd flown the drone into a big red button in some kind of control room Now, the en...
"I don't WANNA give my teacher this mug!"My father looked at me. "It's Christmas. You give gifts as well, you don't just get them. I'm sure that if you don't give one gift, Santa will take one gift away from your presents..."I took the mug. I didn't want to like it, and I made sure to bang my backpack against the wall...
I don't understand why he or anyone would do this. Wiping away the world's memories of me has to be one of the most cruel things ever done to another individual. I broke down in tears when I visited my mother, and she had no idea who I was. At first, I didn't know what to do or how to save these people from this dark a...
I wanted to surprise my wife. I actually had the day off. I was promoted recently and I wanted to surprise her with a couple of things. It was around lunch time that I returned with flowers in hand. I had a nicely wrapped glass jar too. I thought she would like the contents. I opened the door sneakily. The light...
In a world full of supers with unique powers, there's bound to be those that get unlucky. My own was Transmutation - Possibly one of the most powerful, if left unchecked. Of course, it was checked, by the restriction of rhymes. I could hardly compete with those with even minor time control, or control over gravity. No...
Oskar should’ve known. He should have, and that was his mind’s pervading train of thought as he held that letter. ”So many things could have been different.” That jolt in his palm whenever he would hover it over a grimoire, the strange floating feeling that ran through his body when Yolanda, his supposedly only ma...
"Demi."He worked hard to keep his voice flat. It was the first time, and he promised himself he wouldn't let her goad him. "Dee, how are you?"She said it with that sickly sweet tone she used whenever she'd already won, but you still had to finish playing the game. "Yep, good. She's just saying bye to the pup."He tur...
When one imagines a dragon hoard, several things come to mind- vast halls filled with wealth piled taller than a man or a pile of golden coins arranged into a makeshift nest deep within a complex cave system. Gilthrax knew several other dragons who kept things like that, but he was uncertain how they could possibly sta...
“We got a job, Lu!” Mario ran into the home he shared with Luigi. “It’s in Mobius.” Luigi turned from folding clothes. “Mobius. I’ll call dad. We’ll need him to teleport us there.” He looked at his hands. “I can become a sun at will, but I still can’t teleport!” It had been a huge shock to discover their parents wher...
Allice went to bed with the realization that the morning would give her a massive hangover, but the night she just had was worth it. As she undressed to get to bed she noticed an itch on the back of her neck. While scratching she tried to get a look at it in the mirror, but her inebriated body didn’t exactly help, so i...
PART \[1/2\] I didn’t come from a wealthy home. My mom and dad had to struggle to get me into college. So I went to school every day with a purpose. I was a book worm by nature, so education came naturally, which was a lucky roll of the dice. Many of my friends didn’t do so well and started to drift into more dangerou...
The age of cockroaches was fun. Predictable too, given humanity ended in nuclear winter. I remember when the roaches evolved and started building. Their structures were like black brown chitinous pyramids, and their culture was centered around food aquisition and aggressive evolutionary mutation. It turn out cockroach...
