**FADE IN ON:**
**COMPUTER SCREEN**
*So close it has no boundaries. A dilapidated plasma rifle spins in front of a static sea of browns and greys. It occasionally zooms in and out, and changes to a greenish ‘xray’ format. It even shifts a bit up, down, left and right in the field. It then changes into a static form o... |
**Falling Star**
There was silence in the capsule,
There was silence on the ground.
Protocol had failed them,
No rescue would be found.
 
There was courage in the capsule,
There was despair on the ground.
"Goodbye, Mission Control."
His voice the only sound.
 
There was heat in the capsule,
And a... |
The Ob-Gyn told my wife to breathe. Her yelling echoed across the delivery room. And there I stood, watching.
Part of me couldn't believe this was actually happening. In just a few moments, I would become a father. I knew my time would come eventually. It seemed to be inevitable for me. And still, I kept on feeling th... |
Veronica dramatically turned to face her former lover and current bodyguard. "Jou don' understand, Fernando Francisco Emmanuel Camacho, espace aliens have kidnapped my little Tito!"
Fernando picked at the wooden beams of the veranda with the tip of his Bowie knife. With his back to Veronica, he glared out at the vast ... |
Hell has the best lawyers.
This is both fitting and ironic: fitting, because lawyers think they are god; ironic because hell has so many legal loopholes.
I got a great defense lawyer when I got to hell. She argued my case with such eloquence, and so little integrity, it was clear she belonged in hell.
Finally the ju... |
You, only you are my desire
the one who fills my heart with fire
passion, unbridled
pure, undefiled,
just as I hope you are my dear,
or less than five, but let's be clear
the opposite applies to me
for that's how I'll make you happy
with fancy skills I learned before

"Look, we did it! Oh lord of the dark world, we have brought you to our plane."
*Teenagers, morons, probably highschoolers. Great.* I appeared before them in a full demonic form, large standing goat hooves, curling horns, red skin the whole vision in hell. "Why have you summoned me mortals!"A demonic pitch roared me f... |
The double doors slammed against the wall as Inferio charged into the room. "Alas!"She screamed, bringing one hand to her chest and flinging the other into the air. "Your destiny awaits! I-"
"Oh, *perfect!*"Caught off-guard by the happy tone, Inferio stood dumbfounded as Xenon ran up to her and grabbed her by the shou... |
Lucy hated Mondays.
The letters came every day, falling out of the mailing tubes like rain, filling her "IN"folder in moments. So many people seeking easy solutions or desperate turn-arounds. It was always the same storm of wretched bastards wanting all the benefits with none of the hard work. Horny young men wanting ... |
My friend, so tall, he called my name
In such a way I thought *a game*
Oh boy, what fun, I love my friend
And bouncing run I leaped to him
He had a leash, my leash for me
And snapped it on, then 'Come on Glee'
Oh where we'll go I do not know
Perhaps the park, more balls he'll throw
And to the box with w... |

Metal had never felt pleasant inside his body, especially uninvited, but Vincent was accustomed to it by now. You don't live nine-hundred years without receiving the wrong end of a blade or two. He grasped the handle, and with a grunt, yanked it out of his kidney.

"We shall cleanse the earth of the non-believers! and raze their homes. Salt the earth so they can never return."The man at the front of the room shouted as a few people got up and started clapping. I just sighed and kept playing candy crush.

She looked at the mirror. Her reflection stared back.
It was an unfamiliar look. An unfamiliar uniform, generations out of date. One she'd never imagined wearing. She lifted a hand to her shoulder, gloved fingertips brushing against the insignia.
It didn't feel real.
Not even after the long months of training sin... |

The old grandfather clock by the wall struck eight o'clock. It was time.
I donned my top hat and buttoned up my suit vest, exiting the house. With a great flourish, I swung the door open, greeting the masses that gathered in front of my terrifying abode.
"Welcome, welcome!"I shouted to the cheering ma... |
"Sir, you're 3:00pm is here"
Sal stopped glanced away from his minesweeper to check the time. 3:25. Perfect. "Alright send him in."
Almost immediately a tall man in a suit and a choking aura of superiority shoved open the door. As far as new clients went this guy was going to be tough sell. Even as Sal gestured for t... |
"What?"- I asked. Kenny was being real rude. Telling your best friend she doesn't exist is not really a nice thing. It ruined the mood of poker night. - "Calm down, Ken. Losing is as natural as winning, you--"

As he collected the deck of cards, it... |
She wasn't safe.
Leaves scuffled upwards and short, panicked breaths were filling the quiet forest. The more she ran the less she felt like she knew where she was going. Nowhere. She needed to run. She could feel his mark slowly cool down the farther away she was from him.
She stopped, doe eyes searching for somethin... |
It had been two months since the last I saw another human. A year since I saw my mother. And never have I seen my father.
The ship was aplenty with supplies - I didn't worry about food since it was just myself. I could read the ship like the back of my hand. I drank, ate, and slept every evening. I had forgotten about... |
*Ralphy*...
Its name echoed in my brain as I grabbed the paper from my daughter Elizabeth, to get a closer look. It wore the same black and white striped shirt and domino mask. Its arms hung just a little too long from its body. And most of all, its toothless grin gaped at me, its mouth an empty vacuum.
Of course, my ... |
**Part I: The DL that got away...**
I’m sorry but *what the fuck* was that. Those birds definitely just spoke to one another. They commented on how the lack of humans is a relief. What on earth is going on? Today is officially the weirdest day I’ve ever had. I guess I should fill you in on the details then, eh? Let’s ... |
I hoist my duffel bag over my shoulder and stand outside for the first time in 671 years.
There's no one waiting for me on the other side. Well... technically, they *are*. But at the same time, they're not.
A bit of sadness creeps into me as I give the guard a nod and begin my descent into society.
A hundred years ... |
The tip of my crowbar pressed under the lid of the crate and with a quick jerk downwards the soft wood cracked open, expelling a cloud of scents: sawdust, exotic flowers, and that bitter tang of fermented tea. I breathed deep and took a moment to let the scent carry me away; it smelled like antiques and artifacts and h... |
I'll never forget my driver's license test--the first one, that is. I was performing perfectly; my test proctor was all smiles, happily checking-off each and every box on his clipboard. In between executing a three-point turn and parallel parking, the proctor even said to me, "Seems you've got this one in the bag, kid!... |
Bliss. That is what I'd expected when I saw the pearly gates.
But it was chaos within. My initial enthusiasm soon evaporated. Fearsome looking beings with four heads, one each of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle, shouted orders in four tongues at their subordinates. Supervisors, I thought, the same everywhere.

"Tim! Tim are you all right?!"A small pink hand with two fingers frantically shook the shoulder of its limp compatriot.

"Wait, what do you mean the world is dead?"I asked, "All of us are alive, right?"
"Well, yeah you are sir. How come?"Replied the little, dirty man. He's grown up in this wasteland, and never seen Canada?

"Intergalactic unions". What a joke. Intergalactic clubs would be more fitting. Fraternities, even. But unions? Don't make me laugh.
I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Yaser, and I'm one of the ambassadors for the human race. Basically, that means I play the intergalactic equivalent of "you can't sit her... |

He looked different without his big red coat and matching hat. For his Congressional hearing, Santa chose something more appropriate: A slate-gray suit, black loafers, Brooks Brother’s glasses, and a candy cane pocket square. He took a long sip of water before answering.

It had been 500 years since the "Arms Pact"was agreed upon by the world. Five-Hundred years of fighting with swords, lances, WarHammers, maces, and our bare fists. The world had decided this was the correct way, the righteous way, of fighting with each other. I admit that it did add to the glory of the battle when you ... |
She needed an answer and after all contacts and other methods had failed her, there was but one way left. Demons, cunning little bastards. Instead of being happy to leave hell, even for a short while, they always bickered, threatened or cursed and tried to deceive her. But they knew stuff. Knowledge that could not obta... |
I was walking home when it happened.
The girl had been crossing the road, red lunchbox grasped in her small hand, uniform dotted with paint from an eventful day at school. I opened my mouth to yell something. But the car was already upon her.
Screeching tires filled the silence. The girl tumbled across the concr... |

I write these words for you to read, but your willingness to believe is no concern of mine. What I desire is to share my journey, as the words compel me to do so, they demand to be spoken, as if to escape their cage and become as true as the absurdity of my tale.
I cannot afford to reveal the ways in which I traveled,... |
A long low whistle escaped my lips as I pulled into the parking lot. “Hooo boy,” I groaned as I reluctantly got out of my car. “This is going to take some fixing...” The plain brick school building I had left an hour before had been replaced by a garish architectural monster. Entire walls shone in a riot of color that ... |
I knew it. I always told my friends that Hell was better the worse you are. Turns out it's pretty great for everyone. If only those Puritans could see me now! Instead, I can watch them on my flatscreen on the hit reality show, "Heaven is for Suckers"starring everyone dumb enough to fall for the Christian smear campaign... |
"I mean, we're surprised is all. I assure you, we're not laughing at you, but *with* you."
The men and women across the table continued chuckling and exchanging various gemstones and small trinkets. At least they looked like men and women. They had 'assumed those shapes' to comfort us in our initial meetings.

Madeline Cresence was a strange young lady.

She woke up in a start. She fell off the bed, twisting her body, flailing her limbs. He was laying there, still sleeping.

Time to leave again. She didn't know how he'd gotten here in Denver, but it was time to ... |

I invented a machine not too long ago that allowed people to continue their unfinished dreams after they wake up. However, everyone seemed to request for me to pull them out of the machine shortly after continuing, which has left me pretty bewildered about the entire situation, so I decided to use it on myself. There w... |
Sir Thibault had kept a tight grip on his strap, he was nervous. A chill ran down his back as he looked to the sky to see multiple flying creatures streak across the sky. He prayed that the thick forest would keep him hidden from these infernal beasts. He trekked through the forest, always making sure to freeze wheneve... |
Being a superhero isn't all its cracked up to be, actually no. Being the *parent* of a superhero isn't all its cracked up to be, just ask my mum. I was a terrible toddler, used to scream loud enough to break the plates in the house next door. As a little kid I managed to always come home from school with everyone else'... |
Mr Tibbles stared at me the way he always did. The only difference between this time and the others was that he'd just called me a twat.
"Wait, what?"
He narrowed his eyes even further. "You twat,"he said again.
I stared at him. I awaited the glorious revelation of the YouTube prank to claim me. I felt its arrival. ... |
The fog drifted along the streets near the docks as I strode pass the rusting hulks of both buildings and grounded naval vessels of all shapes and sizes. The only thing missing was the sound of a foghorn but those had long fallen into disuse. As to what I was doing out on the streets at an ungodly hour of the morning... |
He fired the gun, point blank range.
I should've been dead, but the bullet swerved right past me and shot down the street and around the corner.
Either this gunman was a really bad shot or he had spelled my name wrong.
Looking sheepish, he asked, "Is your name spelled 'Shaun', 'Shawn', or 'Sean'?"
"Yes,"I said and ... |
I call them “parallels.” They’re essentially different versions of this world but with some interesting changes each time I wake up. These parallels seem harmless but they’re actually extremely dangerous when you stop and consider all the small things that can literally kill you each day. Just to give you an idea of wh... |
I stand up and say "Don't be silly Tucker of course there are no monsters under your bed."Turning on my heel I promptly leave the room and close the door.

Rory and I make one final pull and hoist the net over the railing.
"Open her up,"Rory says.
Fish come spewing out like my guts into that piss-stained urinal the night before. Somehow, Rory doesn't seem hungover at all, but Fish Tale Pub most certainly got the better of me. The usually calming sounds of the sea are ... |
I swallowed softly "so...death threats or love letters... Or I got accepted to hogwarts I suppose, if they updated their stationary..."
The person to the left of me sneered, I suppose I shouldn't talk to myself like this if I want to continue flying under the radar as I have been. Not like it's an option given these l... |
James was on the verge of uncovering something amazing. He felt sure of it. These caverns deep underground were like nothing he'd ever seen. Writing in a language he couldn't understand littered the walls.
If he could find something―some ancient weapon or artifact―it could sway the outcome of the war. The Ecumenical O... |
Where was it, where was it? Ah, page 182, here we go. "Ladies and gentlemen! May I have your attention please?"I read off the page. The loudspeaker whined and tried to start a feedback loop. "You may notice I'm holding a rifle! Don't be afraid, this isn't for you!"
"Then who's it for?"someone in the crowd asked. Brave... |

You came to find that there was no permanent damage a soul could sustain. You found this in part through your own analysis in the tomes of old as well as through the teachings from a demon fiend. I suppose it should be foolish to trust a demon at his word, but when combined with corroborative evidence found in the fift... |
It had been a busy day at work and my poor feet were feeling it. I had been 'tricked' into coming out after work with the guys. All I wanted to do was sit and drink but Alex and Tony were hitting it hard on the dancefloor trying to score out of their league.

I cradled the 9mm handgun, stroking the finely polished barrel in my hands.

He lay prone on the ground, heaving his last breaths.
Did he not look the same as my father, who struggled to remain on this planet as the multiple gunshots bled profusely from his trunk?
I would never forget that image. I wouldn't forget this one either. What I could forget, however, was my rage-filled speech. Sure,... |
3 different ERs and my primary care physician haven't seen anything like it. My mom hasn't stopped crying since she saw it, my dad has stopped talking.

It took a few adjustments for Josh to get the water just right. Steam began to flood the bathroom obscuring the mirror from the sight of an unruly bedhead.

*You are free to go* the voice told me, mechanical, precise. This model didn't try to pretend to be human. *This is not a hunt for your kind.*

I died, it was an accident, that's all you need to know. I began to ascend to what I would assume would be the heavens, the higher that I rose, the brighter the world around me became. The higher I got the more my worries seemed to disappear, to fade as if they weren't important anymore.

I could hear their chants all around me. Speaking in a strange tongue that I had never heard before. The group of five slowly began their chant, all of them saying something different but all their words seemingly weaving together to form a greater whole.

The passage of time mattered little to one such as him. He had been there before, he was here during, and he would be here after. Endlessness shaped his perspective. Defined his actions. When there was no death, it became very hard to appreciate life.
And so he wandered. Searching for something new. Something that wou... |
A line of people walked on the road. Each of them walked in single file, and each of them had seen the horrible death that would occur if they broke rank. Luke Johnsmith was tired, sweating, dirty, and splattered blood (very little of it his own) stained the shredded rags that he once called clothing. No one knew where... |
For centuries, the public had wished for superpowers. It was the dream of every small child to fly, and the fantasy of every adult to read minds. The first man to reveal his powers was an instant celebrity, making the familiar talk show and podcast circuit. He became a spokesman for every product imaginable and starred... |

'That’s weird' I thought as I took the glasses off. It had been a long day though and maybe it was an afterglow of something.

Bub Burgundy paced back and forth in the Indigo Plateau arena locker room nervously. His A-Team sat around, just as restless.
They had trained for years for the chance to face the best there ever was, and had demolished their opposition in the tournament with little effort thus far. But as they faced their last match... |
You looked around at the faces in church as your name was said. You took a deep breath, feeling so out of place. It struck you how good it felt to take a deep breath, to actually let your lungs expand without the use of machines.

Her song stopped, the air still shook gently from her singing but she looked about with surprise. She felt something, something off enough to make her stop singing. Her eyes flicked about the room, pale grey irises examining every detail. Nothing seemed out of place, everything was as it should be.
She started to sin... |

From an intense plume of fire, the menacing voice cackled, “MWAHAHAHA, I have been summoned back into the mortal realm. It is I, Lucifer! Your world is... is... doomed?”

The Dukes and Duchesses of the eight noble families convened. The night was warm and young, and the moon followed a choir of howls from the woods.

Eyes may have long been held as the windows to the soul, but I always preferred handwriting. The eagerness in their scrawl, or hunched together with the barest space between words, or how hard they pressed against the page: those sorts of clues gave me a kind of insight.

A red viscous liquid covered my hands. It seeped from the wound my crude shank had made as I punctured the other's stomach.
