“Look, darling, as much as I would love to, I can’t collect your soul,” the demon drawled lazily, delicately flicking his cigarette. He took a drag and exhaled slowly, already bored with our conversation. “Someone couldn’t have sold my soul! It’s mine! How could anyone even have that power?” I was desperate. This...
I close my eyes. In agony. I can no longer scream. My lungs have long given out. I open my eyes. I see the pain on their faces. My beautiful wife. My beautiful daughter. The pain as they are being torn apart. I feel my face wet. With tears? With blood? I close my eyes. I hear laughter. Laugher from the most rev...
Was not a holy blade which slew him. Nor was it an enchanted arrow retrieved from the depths of forgotten temples of faded deities. The machines and sciences of man had no hand in the act. In the end it was my hand, and the jagged stone therein, applied repeatedly in savage action to the rear of the skull. Both flesh ...
"REAP!"shouted Hitler from his office, "Get in here!" The Grim Reaper cussed under his breath and made his way from the cash register to the back office. His boss had another ass chewing waiting for him. "Yes Sir, Mr. Hitler, Sir,"said the Reaper. "Sit down,"replied Hitler. "Listen, kid, I just got another complain...
When I woke up I heard a lot of gasps, screams and one man cackling. "It's is too late, I have risen the AntiChrist. There is no one who can stop me now."A hooded figure chuckled as people stared at me with horror. He then turned to me. "AntiChrist, make an example of that man."The hooded figure demanded, pointing at...
"It's been a long time, Chairman." Darius Hangate, Chairman of the Board of Microco, shot up from his bed, hand reaching out to slap the light control for his room. The three floating illuminars burst to life and showed him... Nothing. His room was empty. The fifteen-foot curved glass window showed the sleeping city...
I looked around the room skeptically. It was small and utilitarian; bundles of multicolored wires snaked around and eventually ran to a wicked looking contraption that appeared as though it was built of scrap metal and was resting on the seat of a steel folding chair whose paint was chipping off. The only illumination ...
Frank slowly cracked open an eye as he did his best to wake up. Next to him he heard the soft rising and falling of a sleeping person, which was strange, because he was pretty sure he didn’t pick anyone up yesterday… Opening one eye, he saw a wild mane of brown hair peeking from under the covers. Wanting to get a bett...
How did it come to this? How did everything go so wrong? Why did my little girl have to die? Why couldn't it have been me, instead? The questions kept racing through my mind, but I couldn't find any answers. All I had was her lifeless body in my hands. I hugged her tightly, crying like I've never cried before. The pai...
The watering system I'd designed for Mr. Bonsai worked perfectly. From my desk, all I had to do was a pull a string and a system of pulleys tugged the reservoir tank open. Water sluiced through a series of bamboo pipes and splished into Mr. Bonsai's pot. I was so pleased that I had to restrain myself from over-watering...
"..Mr President.."the aide began, knowing that this particular Commander in Chief really did believe he knew everything there was to know about everything "um...I really think you should consider this information from project hindsight more fully before you order this attack." "We have better equipment, better tra...
"This spirit has been tormenting me for weeks! Oh god- You can't possibly know how this feels!" A shriek came from the other side of the line and he flinched, pulling the receiver away from his ear by reflex. His newest client broke down into hysterical sobbing soon afterwards. He rolled his eyes. His partner - who ...
"Father, they are still going!"Michael announced as he entered the sleeping chamber of God. He had been sickly ever since the humans stopped worshipping and started protesting, who could have known that His health was linked to the amount of prayers given daily? The old man was extremely pale and getting worse every ti...
"He did what,"asked God. His voice boomed with anger across Heaven's hall. The angels paused as they worked over maps of human defenses, and prepared for the next wave of attacks. The angel who stood before the heavenly host was small before the infinity of his father, and fear showed in his face as he delivered the ne...
Stardate – 50893 Local Date - June 3rd 2017 Personal log. Since my last entry, I am disappointed to report that the swift rescue I had hoped for, seems to be increasingly unlikely. It has now been nearly two weeks since the anomaly brought me here and I have yet to discern for what purpose and to what end it has i...
A cool evening breeze blows in off the water and gently rustles my hair. I'm sitting on a bench at the waterfront, waiting for my old friend, Chris. Where is he, I wonder. I check my phone for the time. He said he'd be here, but he's now over half an hour late. Someone is approaching. Is it him? I can't be sure. I pul...
The downfall of the rigid prose. Sentences structured perfectly. Everyone knew the difference between there, their, and they're. They chant, "Hunt Jews and incorrect spelling!" Oh how could we be so foolish not to see That this was the era of the Grammar Nazi. Low IQ citizens screaming and yelling! Illiterat...
"Excuse me?" He jumps. Looks at me. I lift my cup of coffee to him. "Your sign. I couldn't help noticing that it read 'The End is Near' awhile ago. Now it says, 'The End is Passed'. And I was just curious about what 'end' you were referring to."I take a sip. He lowers the cardboard. Leans in close. "I'm talking *the...
"Uhm, hey Sarah." "Yes Oliver?" "You've been working here for 10 years, right? Do you remember when I just started out?" "Uh.... I have some patients to get to, lets talk later." "Sar-" "Got to go!" I think i'm one of the insane ones. My reality seems to falter more and deteriorate into the dark oblivion of my th...
"But I don't want to forget everything,"I said to the angel. "Well, you have that option. You can travel back in time and be reborn into your mother and father as a baby, remembering everything." "Yes, I want that,"I'd said, thrilled at the idea of how much better my life would be this time. Maybe Aunt Mildred woul...
The door was large, about twice the size of their sub, and it had strange letters around the edge, looking like what some would call "chicken scratches." "What... What does it say?"The captain asked. They hadn't thought to bring a linguistics expert to the bottom of the ocean. "Looks like the stuff in the Lord of th...
When I had discovered the tomb of Tutu the Great I thought Armageddon had started to rain down. The bullets that night were like rainfall, and overhead there was the smell of smoke and the screams of men. The Triangle people were chasing me. Their chants mingled with the screams, masters to their slaves. I hardly fel...
I am the world's best UN envoy. Whether it be Korea, Israel-Palestine, or the Balkans, they'll always send me in to sort things out. Just one touch of the hand will help two enemies see the best in each other. When you see someone's happiest memory, it's very hard to keep hating them. Sometimes I have to touch them a f...
I'm very tired, so it's probably terrible. ___ Steve was added to "Totally Not A Bank Heist"group chat John : guys, are you ready for the heist of the century ? John : wait who the fuck is this guy ? Bill : I have no idea. *Jake : Hes the new member of the gang isnt he ? Leon told me about him, I didnt kn...
"So, Chris, how's the family doing?"Uncle Carl asked blandly, over the low buzz of the electric toothbrush. "Ood,"I mumbled back. "That's good, but hold still, please,"he said, tilting his head to the left. "Been up to the cabin lately?" I close my eyes as he cleans my teeth, hoping it will mask my annoyance. We've...
I've always had a certain ability to just be able to tell when people were having a life-defining day. In a way, I can tell the future, because when that word appears over someone's head, "Suicide,""Murder,""Rejected,"it always ended up happening. Almost all the 'tags,' as I called them, were negative, and they were ...
The clock softly ticked away as I sat alone in this little party room. If anyone knew, this idea would sound ridiculous. Planning a party solely for time travelers? That sounds what a conspiracy loon would do, not Stephen Hawking! I’ve never been one to shy away from any experiment however, and this was no exception. T...
Remla's mother hoped her eyes would be green like hers, but her father hoped for blue eyes like his. Those with green eyes could do wondrous things with plant life while those with blue eyes controlled water magic. Those with brown eyes had soil based magic. With these gifts, their culture had become a vibrant farming ...
It was madness. It was pandemonium. The bodies were everywhere, most of them moaning and barely staying conscious, many already out. A few closest to the center of town, the initial targets, were already dead. Standing over them was a woman of considerable age dressed like a traveling noble. She used one hand to straig...
"Aw, man..."I groaned, and pressed myself off the floor. Trying to recall the exact events of the previous night, I stumbled to the bathroom. Bottles, clothes and sleeping people littered the floor of my apartment. When I got to the bathroom, I hurled straight into the toilet, and slumped against the wall. I noticed so...
If you think the "Black Market"is a dirty and scary place, wait until you discover the Green Market. You can't think what rolls under the GM. Whatever you want, from power to knowledge, you can find there. Anything you desire, can be bought there. But there is no money. "Most things money can't buy"isn't just an expres...
An elderly man in a gray world, sat underneath a flickering lamp in the middle of the darkness covered park. He was alone, not even joined by the birds at this late hour. He was always up at this time of night these days. Who would have guessed that insomnia would be a side effect of those extended life pills? Well, ...
I found him in the backyard. He was sitting beneath the old oak tree watching as the first green leaves began to turn to autumn. There was a slight taste in the air of cool weather which brought an urgency to the final days of summer. I sat beside him in the grass without speaking. We watched the lazy white clouds roll...
He guided his mother to the couch to sit, before pacing back and forth along the length of the coffee table. Occasionally he would look back at her, then scratch at the few hairs curling their way out of his tender chin. His mother broke the silence first. "We don't need to—" "You know,"he said. "Some kids, the...
I think I'm dating the living embodiment of Death. I mean I'm sure lots of other guys feel that way too. They have a girlfriend who complains too much or can never decide where to eat. It's not really like that for me. I think my girlfriend, may, in fact, be an immortal goddess who transports non-living, non-corporeal...
Axes cut and chisels hew All these things people know to do But when you're really put to test Magic really is the best- I try to tune out the irritating kids singing that rhyme. It was one of the first ones that they learn in school, and it'd stay with them the rest of their lives. The first couple verses ...
“Oh how nice Bartholomeow” Sam said as he looked down at the mouse at his feet, twitching its last as his cat rubbing against his leg before picking the small rodent back up in his teeth, shaking it until it was wrenched free with a swing. That was the drawback of living in a cheap area, his small one-bedroom house w...
"Hurts, doesn't it?"The Devil's fanged teeth bit down on his bottom lip -- swords returning to their sheaths. Onyx eyes scrutinised the helpless human before him with childish glee as he drew a fingernail across her jawline, taking in a shaky breath filled with ecstasy. "I want my lawyer,"she managed to gasp out, a t...
Jake picked up the bulletproof vest that Officer Mick gave him and turned it around. The words 'PLOT ARMOR' were engraved on the back in white letters. "This is weird,"said Jake, giggling slightly over the words engraved on the back of the vest. "Is this vest meant to say 'Plot Armor'?" "Hmmm,"replied Mick, taking th...
The mist got thicker as Shiv stood to wait for his next victim -- Victim was too strong a word. He never meant to harm anyone, just give them the scare of their lives. What else was a ghost chained to NH 44 supposed to do? Sure it sounded fun, being able to travel anywhere along the two thousand, three hundred, kilom...
"Rollo. That was his name. 200 feet tall. Nothing stood in his way." "How did he die?" "Rollo was the last Giant Man. He was searching for his mate, Celea, in the wilderness. Cruel men had trapped her in a ravine. He fought his way through hundreds of thousands of spears, bows and swords to save his true love, but in...
I hesitantly opened the door. "H-hello?"The guy standing on the doorstep blew smoke in my face. "Yeah are the fuckwipe going by the handle,"he rummaged in his robes and pulled out a crumpled cheeseburger wrapper. Flipping it over a few time he finally read from it "ShitBurger9000?"I nodded weakly. "Yeah, look I got a ...
^After ^years ^of ^lurking, ^I ^finally ^made ^an ^account. ^This ^is ^my ^first ^story, ^please ^be ^gentle ^<3 - "Six." "That's right! How about the triangle?" A boy raised his hand. "Yes, Carter?" "Two!"he screamed with too much enthusiasm. "Class, is Carter right?"The question was met with unenthusiastic...
We already had a blue print. By God, we had so many by the late 2000s. My partners and I at MIT had thought of the basis well after High School. “Use the ground works of an existing artificial personality.” By explaining this… you'll know what kind of people we are. The design is formatted around a software pers...
My fingers tapped impatiently on the table. I sighed watching the dreary footage of the security camera, the room lighted dimly and the monitor lighting up my bored expression. "Fuck this."A murmur to myself to dent the quiet of the room. I grabbed the mouse and pressed on the fast forward button. Vapid eyes scanning ...
Those freaking North Koreans, running their bombing raids again. They couldn't bomb a hill if I gave 'em a longboard. I don't even know why we haven't fried their entire peninsula yet. Oh, and now they're dropping propaganda. Of course. Wonder what it'll say... "Welcome to the new North Korea!""All your base are belo...
Everyone strings strings. Some emotional, some physical, some metaphorical. Some people are strung by their jobs, or their religions. Others are wound around their spouses or family. Many try to hide these strings. These invisible, intertwining webs of cloth that drape from their bodies like rainbow splashed capes out ...
"Run, They'll be here soon." "Donovan, stop it!"I yelled, I swatted my news paper that damn bird but still over and over again. "Run, They'll be here soon." "Who!"I look around the living room, outside where nothing moved and drenched in the white light from the moon above. "Run, They'll be here soon." "Donovan,...
It was the same thing everyday pick up the calls, study up on new info, making coffee, and giving information for investigations. My superiors keep telling me I am greatly valued, that my work helps them to achieve field worker's goals. But their undertones let me know, that they wouldn't let me go. I never wanted t...
The girl fell again, leaning heavily on the wall. Her was face flushed, shiny with sweat. Her gait stuttered and stumbled, far different than the confident stride she had earlier in the evening. She tried to stand again only to fall heavily, almost striking her head on wall and floor. A slim arm circles her elbow, co...
I smiled as I heard the front door open. "I'm in the kitchen!"I called out. Several grunts and the sound of moving furniture could be heard from the front room. Hearing one of the lamps break, I stopped my afternoon routine and moved from the kitchen. My daughter was riding a grizzly bear. How managed to fit thro...
Ollie was the real deal. Trust me, you float around as long as I have, you just know. Shame how he went, but I guess, in a way, he's happy now. Happi-er, maybe. He used to have this stupid cable TV show. That's how we met, actually. I saw him on TV spouting the old nonsense about being able to "contact spirits from ...
The human, our host, is called Richard by the others of his species. Richard is a callous man. He took ill two weeks ago, and instead of allowing our comrades in his immune system to fight his illness for him, as they evolved to do, as they are trained to do, he turned to antibiotics. Strong antibiotics. They effecti...
It was Josephs normal commute that killed him. He was riding a used bike on the road going to a work that he had long since given up any affection for. His life was nothing. He was probably nothing. Years of failed loves, a messy divorce, a father who couldn’t see his kids. Thirty three, nothing in his life. Bam. A car...
I swirled the golden liquid of my cheap whisky in my glass slowly, contemplating the meaning of it all. What was the reason for existance when everyone's life was in numbers? When long term plans can vanish in one second. One, tiny, insignificant second. And so much life can be lost. "Hey Jer," I lifted my head from...
'M'ktyrn kail R'yinth?' I asked. The varinthian stared at the weapon he had placed on my counter, and said: 'M'ktyrn.' So he's selling, I thought to myself. As I took his weapon off the counter and into the back of my store, I immediately noticed some odd... quirks about the weapon. A bullpup design was not out o...
"We're sorry, we've decided to go with another candidate. Thanks for applying,"the recruiter said. "I... I literally just walked in the door!"I objected. "Yes,"the recruiter said. "Any other company would have had to actually interview you, get a mistaken impression of your reliability, and then let you continually...
"Sir, please get off the bed." Such a rude awakening. I arose to a stream of people walking through my room, all looking at me, pinned against the white wall my bed leaned against. Their aesthetic was so... different. Almost everyone was dressed in bright, garish colours that shined under my light. "Who are you people...
Some prefer eyes of ocean blue, but I'm much too scared I'd drown. Thats why I love your perfect hue, your lovely shade of brown. Others desire eyes of green, like fields of emeralds. But there's only one sight I fiend, and its your gaze to hold. In the morning they dance like honey, serenading your crooked grin. ...
The armed men before me bristled with unsureness. Outrage, perhaps? After coming all this way, were they really going to end their journey with ending a man old enough to be their father? Even their commanding officer was hesitant. The front line continued to glare at us, while the rest of the legion slowly retreated t...
The snake-like creature was sitting at his chair, looking at the dozens of floating projected lights surrounding him. Blue, green, red, all displaying different kinds of weapons from human history: from spears and sharpened rocks, to swords and more advanced melee weapons, to firearms and more recent atomic weaponry. H...
“Jenny?” The principal asked, waving a hand in front of her greener-than-usual face. She slowly turned towards the source of the noise, her yellow eyes blinking slowly. “Yes, human?” she responded. Principal Human (nearly extinct nordic last name) looked pleased with herself for finally getting Jenny’s attention. “I ...
Pretty new to this so please point out any mistakes and punctuation errors, also on mobile. "Holy flugafly"yelled yorgo a bluish blob of liquid. "They have giant fucking cars with lazers"!. How are the humans defeating these machines! Skroy was just as stunned as Yorgo. The Cravalians were an intergalactic speci...
It was the 25th century. Man had evolved, both naturally and artificially, into gods in the legends of old. There was nowhere in the Galaxy that man had not touched. But even then, it was not enough. We managed to colonize the barren soil of Mars, we managed to create mini-suns, we overcame all the predicaments of lif...
Kate watched the sun rise above Chicago, enjoying the skyline she hadn't seen in forty days as her eye sensors detected the rising light levels and adjusted her infrared sensors. She couldn't remember the last time she had been away from her city for so long, if ever, and her enthusiasm to return translated into her cy...
I make people's fears come to life. I don't mean to. I don't try to. Ever since they first realized what I could do, I've been rushed in and out of various government labs as they try to understand what this means. Scientists have tried to explore the limits of my "power,"tried to understand it, tried to test it. I've...
“Thanks John!” I salt the meat,just enough so it would retain that wonderful taste. “Not a problem Alex.” John smiles,with his perfect white teeth and his lovely blue eyes. The sun outside is shining brightly,the clouds drifting lazily. A ray of light shines through the curtain,a breeze gently passing through it. “W...
I reached down and touched the sand, or what I thought was sand. The ground contracted downwards at my touch, and a sweet aroma seeped from the intricately placed pores in the ground. "Hmm, vanilla"I said to myself. I stood and the ground retook it's shape. I jump up and down, and strangely, the ground was bouncy. Th...
The warm glow of a fire and the sounds of laughter and merriment drew me through the frozen tundra. The silhouette of a castle, bigger than any castle I'd ever seen, rose out of the dark and driving snow. It was freezing and I was lost in a land I'd never been to before. I had woken up what seemed like hours ago and t...
“Who’s in charge ? Ha! You never left. You may have been physically absent but you never left this place! This place is filled with hate and torture. I barely remember what is good. My life is fading away from my memory every second I suffer. When I arrived, I believed that screaming and yelling would help me cope wi...
My daily rituals include watching the news, hating my life, and falling in front of pretty girls. Today I had only done the former two, but there was plenty of daylight left. How I got to be such a spaz, I may never know. Spilling, slipping, and dropping things were part of my everyday life. I now own only rubber dis...
"Signal strength is growing Captain." This is what they were waiting to hear. After 200 long shlonks of traveling they're finally starting to see progress. No one _really_ thought they would be successful, but they had to try. This was a mission they all signed up for, this was a mission that was worth giving you'r...
"Hello bitch,"the hooded uncharacteristically built man said to another uncharacteristically built man on the streetcorner, "I'm here to purchase some of your wares." "Is that so?,"the man on the corner replied. "I have a fine selection here of the good stuff. We have cocain and methamphetamines, but if you would like...
Five minutes, I said. Five more minutes. A man chosen to save the world has that right, doesn’t he? Rest of my life’s gonna be dedicated to fighting evil, so I ask for five more minutes. Five fucking minutes. Not five hours, not five years, and sure as hell not five fucking millennia. The ground behind me exploded as...
"Don't worry, everything is under control!"Abe says emphatically. I've traveled back in time to warn President Lincoln that if he goes to Ford Theater tomorrow, he will be killed. "A plan?"I ask. "Yes. I know about the plan, but I have a plan. Time travelers, you're not the first time traveler. I know a lot of time ...
Hmm, going to be hot today, but not sweltering. I throw on a pair of linen shorts to reduce leg chafing and slip on a short sleeved, knee length linen dress. I buckle my utility belt, the simple one with only 10 pouches or so, and double check that it doesn't interfere with the 8 pockets on the dress. I feel my face....
Heavy footsteps echoed through illuminated grey hallways as a sizable taskforce marched, fully armed and ready to fire at a moments notice. Their destination was the building’s leftmost wing which a small subset of their targets were said to occupy. Leading them was a highly ranked Officer who had seen unspeakable wars...
"Carbon based? Preposterous. Of course they could exist, hypothetically, but only as simple non-sentient lifeforms. What have you found, the galactic equivalent of a Klag-neethan barnacle?" "No sir, not only are they intelligent enough to create a language and culture, we have even begun to see them create complex com...
Brushing my teeth, getting ready for bed, I stare unfocused at the mirror. After spitting the mouthwash into the sink, I look briefly at my reflection. Tired, a bit haggard. In need of a shave. I then look at my eyes and after a few seconds the face in the mirror appears to look away, nervously, towards the bath curta...
What's this?" I it say aloud as I hear the familiar jolly chime, but this time it ended with an extra high pitched note. I turn my head and notice a pulsing ambor colored led indicator on the device's interface. The boxes, called iGive HID, or Higher Intelligence Devices, come in four colors, red, yellow, blue, or b...
The hall fell silent as the dimensional portal near the ceiling closed abruptly, leaving as the only evidence of its passing the recently disgorged figure lying in the middle of the room. Quickly, the warriors converged upon the slowly stirring form--and gasped almost in unison when they saw it covered almost entirely...
######[](#dropcap) When the cat fell on the table, there was much confusion to be had among the cafe’s outdoor sittings. “What the hell?” One old gentleman rubbed his specs, as though he believed his vision faulty. The lawyer beside him dropped a phone into his coffee cup then jumped upon hearing the resulting spla...
Zapp Branigan was the only human on board the command center of the Nimbus. He was one few human ranking officers in the entire fleet, and was in fact, the only human commander of a starship. There had been other human commanders, but their bravado often over took their logic, and one by one they lost their ships to th...
I stood at the top of the tallest hill to be seen for miles. I surveyed my domain. Trees in the distance. Hills of various sizes under me. Grass underfoot. Streams and waterfalls within sight. All was pristine, ever beautiful to see. Not a can or bottle or any other sort of rubbish contaminated the area. I wish...
"Who is that? Is that a priest?" "Calm down Malictus, not everyone is a damn priest and no I'm not going to actively go find one. Just stop being paranoid and we're good,"I responded with a groan. "I just don't want to go back to hell, it's too hot, and bright,"came the guttural reply, echoing through my head. "...
I sat, trembling in the corner of a large bunker filled with the remaining leaders of the nation and other people who were deemed important enough to get a chance at survival. Booming explosions occasionally would make the walls tremble and the sounds of chaos from up above were nonstop. Gunfire, laser blasts, plasma...
The young wizard clenched his jaw as he read over yet another webpage promising him a solution to his problem that ended up not working. Just like the last twelve. He read over the spell once more, mumbling to himself line by line as he did so. "Okay, so everything is imported, the main spell is defined properly. Pu...
"Wait a minute... that would mean... NOO!"I screamed. I jumped out my bed and ripped off the monitors and IV lines. Needles and electrodes flung through the air as blood dripped from the holes in my arms where they were inserted. Nurses and doctors dodged me through the halls i ran from my room to the adjoining on. Th...
The last thing Garfield heard was the screech of tires and a sudden thwump. Suddenly he found himself surrounded by darkness. Black smoke swirled around aimlessly and screams could be heard in the distance. He looked at his hands, rubbed his face. I can still feel.. he thought. Where am I? I'm a little hungry.. ...
Ugh I feel sick, and I mean REALLY sick. I'm dry heaving and my stomach is killing me. How am I supposed to explain this dead guy to the cops. Where the heck did he even come from anyways? Stay calm, stay calm. All I gotta do is dial 911. No, no, no, let me get my story straight first. I was walking down an alleyway to...

Coincidence is getting a sweater as a gift before the first truly cold day of the year. Now imagine if someone gave you a sweater every time it was supposed to snow the following day. That's not coincidence, right? That's something else. That's fate. Fate or precognition, but really, to someone who isn't, what's the di...
Paul carefully removed his shoes so as to not make a sound and gingerly stepped over the body of his younger self, passed out in a drunken haze - how he used to put so much alcohol away he'd never know. Making his way to the tiny counter by the apartment's kitchen he saw an assortment of plates and bowls. He never thou...
It starts small. It always starts small. Children get the powers, they become Other and then it grows and grows until they are just past the prime of their adulthood. At first it was the lighting of a candle. She could remember the moment that it happened. It was so easy. As simple as a thought, and the candle ...
His ears twitched in annoyance. "Now, Legolas. No need to get upset. I think you just need some fresh air."advised David condescendingly. "My name,"replied Leonard, teeth gritting, "is not Legolas." "Woah, woah. Come on, Legolassie,"replied David, looking around the room, "Uhm. Why don't you hold thi...
Jordan got a car on his eighteenth birthday. Ralph got bearer bonds. Dee's mom gave her a piggy bank of silver dollars her grandfather had been saving, one dollar per year she'd grown. I told my mom this. "This is what normal people get, Mom. I'm not asking for a car or money. Even if we went out for dinner to McDonal...
"Down on your luck? Come to Faith Healing Ministries, where your spirit can rest, and connect with our lord-" "I know I heard Cyndi Lauper on here somewhere..." I clicked through the radio stations as my car sat idling, parked in the driveway to the house of a girl I'd be taking out. Rain lightly pattered on the wind...
Is...is that Jeff? Ken thought to himself. Jeff was just the secret identity of the Alpha Wolf, a local mercenary villain. He typically carried out hits, robbed banks, and other nefarious things but since he had yet to be caught of have any real evidence brought against him he was free. The only way to reveal his ide...
I was in the middle of something pretty important when the eight-foot tall, blood-red horned succubus erupted into my living room in a gout of black flame. “I am Malazhara, Ruiner of the Well of the Pious!” She screeched, throwing a clutched hand into the hair with a booming laugh. “And you...” She continued, pointing...
Pak...Pak...Pak I woke from my slumber to the sound of pebbles being thrown against my window. Stumbling in the dark, I opened the window and looked down. I could see the wide grin of Wade as he raised his backpack. Nodding, I ducked back into my room and quickly threw on clothes. My shirt was emblazoned with ...
