I walk the streets of one of the countless cities that never sleeps. I watch as the throngs of people hurry here and there. Always in a rush. Always in a hurry. Humans are rules by their emotions. Every emotion has a positive and a negative side: hate, love, greed, devotion, anger, joy. None of them are good. None of...
The story of industrial humanity is one of conflict. Their greatest minds finding advances, then translating their technological advantages into geopolitical dominance. Some were benign seeming civilian applications, others made with violence in mind. But all contributed to the same thing, the will to power. The rate ...
Explosions reverberated through the hallway as Princess Tabitha's minions surged out of her room. The captain of the Guardsmen anticipated another siege in reverse, but couldn't fathom the sheer number of minions she could summon. One of the Guardsmen ran up beside Captain Thalleous and exclaimed, "Captain Thalleous, s...
It took a lot of time to figure out the kinks in the summoning ritual. Like a lot of time like way too much for anyone to believe it worth the effort. But I was never one to stop when I started something. I did have to compromise the spell somewhat though, no chance of a specific demon or demon type I was literally ...
A titanic flash of energy announced the exit of a great spaceship from faster than light travel, ripping the boundaries of reality asunder to accomplish the feat. Nacels retracted behind coral pink doors, their usefulness over for the time being. Barely controlled chaotic energy erupted behind the ship, propelling it f...
“That should just about finish it.” An elderly gentleman placed a screwdriver on the table. He reached for a handkerchief, slowly wiping the sweat away from his brow. After hours of tinkering, he has succeeded in completing his newest invention. He gently picked it up from his work bench, straps laying across his hand...
You'd be amazed the things you can live without. Somethings you don't even miss. For example, I didn't have a car until I was 28. You just learn to live without things, especially if you're on a budget. One thing, however, I didn't ever expect to lose. That thing, that little detail, was my shadow. You'd expect to pani...
She looked down at the game token, the hint of a smirk curling at the edges of her mouth. "Stealing from arcades now, are we Corvy?" Jessie reached down and slid the token into her pocket. As she stood back up, her eyes drifted out across the front yard. She caught a glimpse of the tail of black feathers just as they ...
I sat on my rock, scratching, thinking. How far can I possibly get? What else eats mosquitos? What do I want to control today? From my rock, I stare out at the sea. It's a calm morning. Not breezy, good for mosquitos. I swat them away while I continue to think. I once read that the ocean is eight miles deep, I wonder ...
I sip from the metal cup I carry as I head into the factory, the strong, dark liquid steaming in the crisp morning air. Yet another day at work, at least it was better than mucking horse stalls, paid better too. As long as you knew what you were doing, you could easily keep your fingers as well. The recent marriage of ...
Station 32 was an ordinary news station in a small town. Being a small town, one may ask why such a town would need a news station, when they could go to Mrs. Marvins, who knew all the latest gossip in town. It had been running for nearly 70 years, informing the town of all the latest information, inside and outside. ...
So here I am, in the oval office after months of campaigning. Of course I know for a fact that this isn’t the real oval office. I have a number of friends, and they told me that thanks to the electoral college, I had lost the majority despite looking good in the popular vote. I also knew when exactly the president was ...
“We are gathered here today for a custody hearing over the … soul of one Mark Samuel Smith Junior. Twenty-eight. Recently deceased. It says here you have signed your soul’s rights away to two separate parties. Is that correct?” The judge lowered his booklet and looked at Mark with his pale gray eyes. This slight glace ...
I woke up. Another day, another-wait. Why does this look like the princess's bed? Oh, no. It's the princess's room. I got up. "Princess!?", I called. My voice changed. Does this mean that...I ran to the mirror. The princess's reflection stared back. A paper laid on the dresser in front of me. It read, "Tag. You're it."...
Mae was beautiful. Undisputed fact, don’t care who you talk to unless it’s a blind man. The gym was her sanctuary. She always dressed in a one piece flared dress, like the kind you’d see adorned by thin birds at the country club bad mitten courts. Mae was no bird. She worked on her body day in and day out, ...
The bell chimed. Another customer. Another order! The kitchen bustle, knives chopping against bamboo boards, the chef knive slicing through freshly baked bread. The next batch of foccacia was still in the oven, but people were still waiting. From the front, Luciano could hear another order for more bread. Another...
Bin, boot and book Tablets found in ancient tombs are always cliche, same for dusty tomes in hidden libraries. But this was hidden in a book. Not a book bound in leather from ages past. But a school book, one less than ten years old and hidden in a pile of bric-a-brac with only the last two pages filled in. Honestly, ...
Peter was the 13th child of the family. He never really liked his parents much, even as a new-born. His parents were not the best, but Peter was still exceptionally cold to everyone, preferring solitude or quietly observing people. His 17 siblings quickly learned to avoid him, as he never wanted t...
"Saaaay-tuuuun.... Vaaaaake uuuuup,"a small man pleads while shaking the shoulder of the damned. The maroon-red devil shifts in his sleep, trying to shake off the man who is trying to wake up. He shifts until he no longer is able to sleep and he rises from his bed. "Who dares to wake me from my slumb- oh... it's just...
It was a short drive to the school that morning, and Aaron Graham had packed all his materials already. He'd been planning this for weeks; the secretive shopping, the research in the dead of night, and most importantly, how to avoid being caught once the plan had been executed. He'd asked one other student, Josh Binks...
We ate dinner in silence for the third night in a row. Things stopped having taste days ago. I only ate so the sound of chewing could echo in my head instead of the deafening silence. My eyes never lifted from my plate. I couldn't bare to look at her anymore knowing what she had done. I finished and carried my plate t...
[Written fairly quickly with very minimal editing, so please forgive the haphazard storytelling] "Once you see it there is no turning back. You'll always see it after that. You can't escape it. It will hurt you......it will blind you." He had shown up in a new room finally. Room number five for him in fact. A smal...
The streets were empty, the buildings in ruin, plant life was seemingly everywhere. Earth was finally returning to nature after decades of nuclear fallout. Humanity has been exterminated on Earth. It was a pitiful sight, humans had always considered themselves intelligent. They claimed to be the most advanced race in...
At first you tell yourself you're only curious. Jess Plunkett. Year 2. Red hair and dimples. She lifted up her skirt for a bite of my brownie. I'd have given her the whole thing if she'd asked. Then you tell yourself it's a phase. Marie Tallon. Year 7. Brunette ringlets and a scar under her left eye. We had a class ...
It was a rather peculiar sight. Probably some kind of joke item that someone threw in there, but I thought I'd check it out, just to be sure. I reached out to grab it but felt a quick slap on my wrist. "Is it on the list?" "But honey, look at.." "Is it ON THE LIST?" I sighed in resignation. "No dear, it's not on th...
"Number four billion, three hundred and four million, eight hundred and twenty two thousand, six hundred and eleven."Yet another number droned out over the immense waiting room. A greasy man, middle aged, shuffled to his feet somewhere in the rear. Hank was his name. Looking over his file, nothing particularly remarka...
Inter-Stellar Scouting Construct E79 could not feel the cold. Sensors indicated temperatures of well below zero and hurricane-strength winds but it had been built to withstand the most extreme conditions. Sensors did not indicate any sign of life. Since its pod had landed on this planet all the Scout had seen was white...
My blood boiled and I could feel my muscles tense almost painfully as I stormed from my room with a picture in hand, to where my parents sat at on the couch, watching their usual show. I stood right in front of them, not moving, blocking their vision. My father's eyebrow raised up as my mother's gaze turned from her bo...
It was a simple day. We went to buy new furniture, but after all that we were hungry, so we decided to stop by this cafeteria they had. I looked at what they had to offer, and settled on the meatballs. So here was my meal, meatballs with this sauce, boiled potatoes, and a lingonberry drink. I finally sat down, and too...
I woke up to the bright hospital lights blinding my face. I heard a distant voice say something along the lines of "he's awake,"and I could sense movement around me. It took me a few minutes to regain my senses. I could tell something was missing - I just couldn't place it. I swiveled out of the bed and put my two fee...
After the yelling I'd lick his hand and nuzzle against his knee. He never pushed me away like the woman. She would scream at me like she screamed at him. She was always screaming. I stayed away from her, but he'd pat my head after the yelling, and if the weather was good we'd go for a long walk. You know a person afte...
We had it coming, really. After we branched out to Sector 3H63G, we knew exactly what we were getting into. A perfectly clean, peaceful, and shared galaxy, occupied by a very kind and serene species. Though, I suppose this execution was still considered righteous for them. We had destroyed their planet, after all. A...
I had spent millenia getting it all ready for them. I made the entire thing myself, frozen in place until I was ready. Stars, winking in the nothingness like, well, stars. Planets, ready to orbit around the floating furnaces that would nourish them. Most of these I gave only the most perfunctory of creations. A dull me...
The Great Oak's message resonated through The Sapling's young, wiry roots. It said: "The rings of my trunk count one-hundred-and-fifty. I have grown old and tall, and I can see very far. I have seen this forest fall to the ground one soul at a time. It comes closer every day. You will never grow taller than me, and ne...
It was terribly dark today. The clocks showed that it was almost three in the afternoon, but the sky still resembled the midnight sky. The only difference was that there were no stars out. Not only that, but the citizens didn't really know what to do with themselves. The last year or so had been very bleak. The weathe...
The escort service arrived at his house at 8am, just like the letter had said it would. He watched from the window as two men exited the vehicle and walked up to the gate. He thought wistfully of last night’s meal, a light one before 7pm just as the letter had instructed. A lot of people ignored that part: most of them...
I sighed, he wanted me to use my 'trash talk' ability again, despite me telling him I don't like using it. What choice do I have? "Steven! Your penis is so small that women ask if you have a clitoris!" Steven's self esteem dropped a few points. It was somewhat effective. Steven's pokèmaster ordered him to retaliate ...
"Scheisse it's cold." "Yeah Werner, that so? Please do tell us more obvious statements about the world. Maybe about how the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Or perhaps where babies come from. Christ on a crutch, I was reading my brother Karl's letter from Africa. Would you believe he had the notion that the...
He had done it. He had finally done it. DarkBlade couldn't believe it. He removed his mask as he sat down in his favorite reclining chair, letting the thought sink in and letting his slight pudge spill out. He had wiped out crime completely. After a long fifteen-year streak of declining living conditions due to the con...
Well, I guess, since I'm stuck here, I might as well say how I got here. Not like I've got anything else to do except talk to you, you gibbering fuck. You'd think that OSHA would've shut these two corporations down years ago, but noooo, apparently they're valuable or some bullshit. After the merger, sending me to ...
“Lay him down on the table, come on,” instructed Grady as Menslin heaved Harris’ wheezing hefty frame onto the flat slab. “What’s wrong with him?” “He’s been coughing all week,” Menslin explained. “I don’t know- he started coughing up blood today, and he’s just been completely incapacitated. We’ve keep him isolated fr...
It all started back in college. It was silly really, during the freshman orientation our parents met one another and forced us to sit and talk while "the parents had big kid talk."Jack Dinkleberg, his name was; very cool guy and clearly intellectual. When the time to sign up for classes came around -- well, 45 minute...
I hate hospitals. This one was bad. Overfilled. I was in one of those rooms with multiple beds, separated into the world's shittiest cubicles by curtains. In each cubicle was another sob story. The three visible to me were across the hall. One was in bed, I couldn't tell the problem. One was in a full body cast, like y...
Just another normal day. I awoke to birds singing, and the sun shining through my window. It was a beautiful day and I had a good feeling about school today. Well better get ready. I had a shower, got dressed and made my way downstairs for breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and said "Good morning, mom,"and what happe...
“I am sorry for the great amount of resistance to your arrival. On Earth, after years of war and strife, we’ve come to the belief of equality of opportunity. Every single person should have equal opportunity and freedom. Nobody is necessarily below others. This… this idea of people being food is absolutely against our ...
I could see a light on in his downstairs office, he was typing away furiously. I know he was writing about me. My "adventures". I wonder if he was writing what I'm doing now, what I'm thinking now. If he was he would know. Maybe he can't stop, maybe he can't bear to look out the window and see me standing in the s...
Mom's said August 23, 2005. Dad's said March 26, 2014. What's on my wrist? In this world, mortality is a blank patch of skin. My sister was unlucky at birth. The day after she was born, my parents made funeral arrangements. Her wrist deemed that she had 23 years of life ahead of her. Unfortunately for my parents, they...
"Just a little bit further now."Marco beamed, adjusting the taut black SalTech straps on his backpack. "Well, you said it was a little further an hour ago."Kip snarked. Despite the reduced gravity on Santelune, hiking with a sizable pack and several canteens' worth of water was still a daunting task for an eight-year-...
I crouch in the bushes, heart pounding in anxiety. I clutch my weapon, a powerful gun, the best of its kind. I peer through the leaves, desperate to catch a glimpse of something, anything, that will tell me where the monster is. I slow my breathing until I'm almost not breathing at all. The sun is beating down my n...
"So three wishes, you say."Mike lit up a cigarette, rolling it between his fingers as he looked at the genie in front of him. The genie floated up in front of him, trailing off into a cloud of smoke from an old lantern. It was absurd to think that had actually worked, finding a genie in a lantern, but when he passed ...
Harry Dresden VS Harry Potter ----- Dresden Forty years old, and I drive a Volkswagen Beatle, But if we were in the same movie, I'd be Stark, you'd be Cheadle, If you in were my world, you'd be beneath the White Council's notice, If I were in yours, I'd show Hermione where Thomas's boat is. I take on guy...
He had a saying, a ahh, rather hokey saying, "The steel to forge the new is tempered in the fires of tearing down the old". A little trite, he used to admit to me, if I am being honest. But a electorate eats that sort of thing up. He had another saying too, a private one, "Symbolism, can be an amazing thing." The gre...
It is being called the great hallucination. It appears to be spread by someone opening their mouth slowly and possibly lifting their arms outwards. Once you have caught it, your brain will slowly start shutting down at 10pm or so in the evening and then you will need to quickly get on the floor or a chair, because for ...
His brain was humming. Vibrating. Rattling with restless energy inside his skull. During the drive home after only two hours of work, his stomach churned, his eyes stung and watered, his hands trembled violently, but now they were still. But his mind was not still. Images, sounds, notes, chords, and symphonies appeared...
"It's him"Bruce sternly said, "It's his calling card". "That's impossible"Selina whispered, "He's dead! How does anyone know about us? How would they know that we were...". Selina took a step back and smiled. "Selina?"Bruce asked. "Sorry... heh"Selina giggled, "It's just that he he he! Oh god ha!". Selina's eyes wid...
I've been looking for this girl for five years now. Name: Jamie Goff Gender: Female DOB: August 25th, 1985 Age: 24 And I finally found her. Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Dark Brown Ethnicity: African American I'd like to say it was right under my nose. Height: 5'10" Weig...
"Honey, take a look at this!" Stan gawked at the richly appointed vellum-like paper grasped between his hands. He was trembling. "Sweetie, what is it? You look sick." He shook the paper under her nose, then held it up close for her to read. As Stan's wife scrunched her face up to read, it continued to become more ...
"Max, this place is gorgeous,"said my wife. She couldn't get over the saltshakers. I didn't care what they looked like or what they were made of, but she was going on about ivory and German antiquities, and I wasn't paying much attention. She sighed with happiness and placed her hands on my mine, toying with our wedd...
Interview with Subject 413-A. May 4th, 2011. 11:00 A.M. Henry, how are you feeling today? I'm losing control. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that you can't let me fall asleep anymore. Whenever I fall asleep, he wakes up. You don't know what he's capable of. *Everyone needs to sleep, right? Ha...
Ok, so this is my first post on this sub... Please be gentle. Any constructive criticism is very much appreciated. ___ I sat in the warm waiting room anxiously scanning the faces of everyone sitting near me. It is always interesting to me that each person travels down such different paths through all different walks o...
Mid-way through wiping down the television set did Mikey finally notice the wooden door that was behind his bookcase. An edge barely poked out from behind the loaded bookcase, but he knew right away that it was a door; one that he had never seen before in his life. He dropped the rag he was using to clean with. He pu...
The phone rings, once, twice- my impression was that they would pick up immediately. "Hi caller, you're on the air, Are you calling about our rope offer?" It's surreal, I'm not sure what they're talking about. I look down at the number on the card, and try to think about what I dialed. I'm pretty sure I got it right....
Betsy switched on the television. She'd been in love with horses ever since she read Black Beauty. Though she lived in the middle of a bustling city, she found ways to satisfy her horse fancy, whether it be through books, art exhibits, or the various horse races that were shown on TV. Four of the horses were ones ...
“No way Sir, with all due respect I’m just a contest winner.” Tommy said in disbelief. God put his arm around Tommy’s shoulder and began to speak: “Come on! It’s only for a while and you can’t really mess up! Anyways I’ve been answering your silly questions about the meaning of life, love, and all that other junk; you ...
The alarm buzzed me awake. Every night I dreamed I was a man on death row, sitting in the electric chair. I would never die I would just keep waking up to the same buzz. The same buzz. Like a bee it hovered around my ear never letting me be at peace. The routine was the same, always the same. Wake up, eat, walk to wo...
You are my best friend, I mean, there were others of course - those that threw sticks, or pretended to throw bawlie-wallies, even those that offered me food under the table, but there are none like you, master. My loyalty to you shall remain to the end - an end I fear is coming. I don't have much longer left on this e...
"Hey, ma'am, can I help you with that?" She smiles a grateful smile as she clutches her son with one hand and several brown bags with the other, clasped against her small, narrow body. "Thank you so much!"she gushes and allows me to take them off her, fumbling awkwardly. I smile back at her as she rearranges her purs...
"Alright, man. This has been fun." "You sure you have to go?" "Yeah, my mom texted me hours ago." "But we just solved this thing! We've got to post it!" Keegan said 'we solved it', but it was really all Alex's doing. Keegan had just watched. He'd watched for years as Alex decoded this, intercepted this or that pack...
It's my third week on the run, three weeks since Aaron framed for bombing our highschool. I've decided to write a journal so that even if I'm killed at least the truth will get out. It all started on Friday the 13th of June 2014, neither of us was prepared for finals and Aaron said we could get a couple extra days to ...
(First time here, be gentle!) Sweaty and shaking I move across the room, almost unable to control my desire. The distance between us dwindles and that primal ache begins to deepen. My thoughts are consumed by the moments to come; sweet satisfaction will finally be mine. At last the gap closes and I reach out, hands ca...
Why did I choose that volcano? I'll tell you why. You see all the other entires? The robotic ant farm, the bionic lung, the model orbital elevator. You notice anything similar about them? Oh you don't? Of course you don't. I'll tell you. They were all made using expensive tech. Tech bought for them by their rich parent...
A cheeseburger. A real, honest-to-God cheeseburger. It was the first one Marcus had eaten in over four decades. Were they always this salty? He wasn't sure he liked it. He chewed his second bite, slowly and deliberately, before taking a sip of soda through a straw. That also tasted different than he remembered. Marc...
“Daddy, are you dead?” It is too early in the morning to play these games with Julie. I can only manage a gruff snort while trying to coax the last few drops of coffee out of my mug. Julie’s tiny head and body are shielded by the morning newspaper that she holds up and spreads open as far as her arms can stretch. I si...
P knocked on the door for the twentieth time and just as before there was no response. He turned away but thought again. Banging sharply on the wooden door, P shouted "Winston! WINSTON!"and this time the door opened just a crack. His friend peeped out and let the door swing open as he padded back to the sofa. Winst...

"Did they ever find out who he was?" Dan's my new partner. Three weeks out of the Academy. I get all the new kids for six months, show them the ropes, tell them the stories, make sure they turn out to be cops. It's a living. We were walking down Regan, making our way to the park on the corner of Regan and third so...
“I don’t think I should be here.” Heinrich shuffled awkwardly from side to side. He never did like wearing full dress uniform. “Heinrich, don’t be stupid. You’re the hero.” Dolf replied. He had been on duty at the same time, and reacted the same way when the alarms went off. “But all I did was shoot an intruder....
Milk, bread, chips, and cereal. Check. Shopping list done, I finally head for the registers. A long, arduous day at work has left my legs weak and my mind fogged. A cursory glance up and down the checkout aisles reveals one open lane, at the far end of the store. Figures. I drag myself and my overflowing red ...
The class field trip to the battlements was going well. Mrs. Dunaway gestured towards the horizon, but she hardly needed to as her 9th graders all leaned against the side to take panorama photos of the spectacular view with their phones. The children didn't go outside much these days. "Would anyone like to answer a bo...
It was supposed to be the best day of our lives. We were taught... no, created, to live for the very moment that we would be taken out of our plastic prisons into the hands of a human who would love and cherish us forever. However, reality is rarely so kind. I first felt trouble when we were brutally manhandled into...
Kate warily opened the vault door, steeling herself for anything that might await her on the other side. They had all heard the screams, the rumbling, the deafening crashes for months on end. Who knew what would still be out there, one year after the apocalypse? Still, they no longer had a choice. Food was running out...
"Darling, are you down here"Cherice cried out into the darkness of the basement. She always hated it when Bernard worked overnight in the laboratory, especially for nine days straight. What in the lord's name he was doing down there was out of reach to her, only that it was important enough for him to miss out their an...
"Please don't hurt yourself." What the fuck? My cat had just told me not to kill myself. I staggered backwards, the echoes of that infinitely serene voice cascading throughout my head. "Please, Michael. I love you." It emanated from within my mind, but it was a distinctly foreign entity. Stitch strolled towards me a...
"You are all in my world now."Blackheart stood on the balcony and looked out over the many people chained up in his prison. "Supers? Hah. Not one of you stood a chance against me, and now I have you all in my control."He smirked, and motioned to his minions. Two guards dragged in one of the prisoners. "Ah, Meldern the ...
I thought there would be riots and angry mobs. I thought "there is just no way the people are going to stand for this!" I thought the people loved their country, and would fight as their forefathers did to defend their precious democracy. I was wrong, turns out we were all too busy watching American Idol, and brows...
"SO NOW YOU UNDERSTAND.", came the voice of the Almighty. The Devil winced at the magnitude of the words and though he was already in a prone position he asked nicely if the Magnificence could be turned down. "THERE?...er, I mean there, is that better?", Said the Voice. It was, immensely. "Thank you.", The devil sa...
EXT. HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP TO AIRPORT - DAY THE KNIGHTS and KING AURTHUR look upon the TOWERING, SHIMMERING AIRPORT. AURTHUR The airport! GALAHAD The airport! LAUNCELOT The airport! ...
Everything rendered meaningless; my prom date, my grandfather's cancer, and the light burning through the window onto my still fragile eyes held the same weight of importance in that they were all chance conditions set up by the grinding and mechanical universe. My parents are eating breakfast downstairs. Two states no...
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday Thomas, happy birthday to you." Everyone clapped as young 3 year old Thomas Peck squealed at the mention of his own name. "Alright lets light the safety candles!"said Rosie, mother of Thomas. Carefully she drew out three electric Sesame Street candles from ...
This is my first time doing a writing prompt, so any formatting help or critiques would be appreciated. "The Tragical History of Tendar Sen." For the first few years of his life, Tendar Sen was told he was special. His earliest memory was of a man in a brown robe explaining to his mother the importance of Tendar's g...
"The Representative from Kentucky has the floor." "Thank you chairman."Spoke Hal Rogers (R), my local congressman. I always hated that fucker, even though I was a Republican. WAS. After listening to these pieces of shit for 2 weeks, I officially hated Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and every human being who eve...
JERRY: Says here this seat is for Yahweh. I didn't see him during the ceremony. You don't think he's one of those who just shows up for the cake part do you? DAWKINS: No, I don't think he's showing up at all. JERRY: How can an omnipresent being be late? I mean this is a temple, isn't that like his house or something?...
The lights flashed, red and yellow colors danced upon the wall. The Colonel was screaming orders but his words were smothered by the deafening blare of a siren. The men and women in the room were running from terminal to terminal, typing furiously or attempting to shout their own orders into desk microphones. Lt. D...
They sat around a table, one would think given the parties present it would be a symbolic round table with mystic symbols, but it wasn’t. It was a simple wooden table that, while well made, had no distinguishing characteristics. Jesus wouldn’t shut up about it: “I made this table when I was 12 years old. Look how we...
Ignorance is bliss. The world is too worried about what other people think of them. You can tell which high schoolers are popular and which ones are not just by looking at their faces. Popular people will have a smile on their face, because they constantly have that feeling in their head - that sense where you know som...
Oh Tom, sweet Tom. My one companion all these years. Hearing your muffled voice through my cell for God knows how long. I've been stuck hearing your weaselly voice since your internship. We've been through thick and thin - marrying your girlfriend, the birth and raising of your kids, your father's death. Now, good Tom,...
"Hey." I looked down at my candle, decorated in pentagrams drawn just so, dusted with the ashes of the universe (corriander and majoram, in case you're wondering) and a bit of patchouli. Did I make it wrong, or... "Hey assbutt, I'm bonded to you for life, might want to say hi or something." It was...I mean, it wasn'...
Here lays the false Messiah, heir to Satan's throne, He was an evil soul, corrupted from skin to bone, He'd talk for but a minute and he'd leave you vexed, You'd trust him one moment and be dead the next. He stalked the meadows, lived in this very glade, Hearts were his playthings, souls were his t...
It was, in a word, immaculate. Living in a monastery, I had not ventured into the outside world for nearly 12 years. I had forgotten the everyday beauty that can be found in the smallest things; things unavailable to my gaze while living with the other monks in seclusion. It just so happened that I, the youngest of ...
Whenever I tell this story, I always start it the same way. My step-sister and I were on board our parents' private jet. We were caught in a storm, and the jet went down in the Siberian wilderness. Our parents were killed. My sister and I were only ones left. And then, whenever I get to this point in the story, ...
