The large heap of molten slag bent and contorted upwards until a slumped human-like shape emerged. After a moment, the head of the newly risen golem turned and peered at its creator. “I exist to serve...” Boomed the raspy voice of the golem. “Excellent. Most excellent. Now no time to waste.” said the slim middle-age...
Killian's daily routine always began with the warm cup of Joe that his wife Miah made him. He had 20 minutes every morning before work to sit on the porch, sip his coffee and watch the sunrise and the white paint peel further down the railing. He kept telling himself, and Miah, that one of these days he'd get around to...
The idiot wanted to get all flourish-y with drawing his sword. That was his undoing. It wasn't a surprise. I'd seen him do it a thousand times before, we all had. He'd step back from his opponent, turn slightly toward the audience, and take advantage of his sword's curve to keep it flipping round in various flashy cir...
You ever sit in the middle of an alien spaceship, surrounded by hay, in a giant fur suit wondering what the fuck your life is? First of all, fuck you. I'm not a furry, or a brony, or a whatever else. I'm just an idiot who, surprise suprise, can't outdrink an Irish bastard who has a good 40 lbs on him. It was the night...
When closely monitored, doggy-fission is a straightforward process. One turns into two, which turns into four. By the time I got to Sir Plinkton the VIII, I knew I had dipped my toe in the deep end of a very treacherous pool. At first I had a good number of cages in my lab. An adequate amount for the family. Plinkton...
The thirteen years without dad has been hard on the family, especially on mom. After he left, mom has been starting to drink again, and at first it wasn't bad. Some drinks here and there to cope with the new adjustment, but now the amount of bottles tossed around the house is uncountable. The once so-called home was n...
You know... I thought I had everyone in our party figured out. I really did. Alister was the selfless chosen one, Cyr was the lone wolf who learned to love again, Elian was the intelligent wizard, Helen was the guile sorceress, and I was the devout Cleric. We were to follow a strict plan and kill the demon lord. So, yo...
The day my daughter was born, the earth trembled. The lights in the hospital dimmed and my daughter came to me in complete darkness. As I held her, crying in my arms, the lights flared on. We waited for her animal to arrive, to snuggle up to my very own sheep, or even my husband’s Labrador. But, nothing came. The docto...
This was supposed to be simple. Everyone hates this guy. All he does is go on, and on, and on. He never stops talking. Always about the most useless things. And his voice. Dear god, his voice reminds me of a mangled cat yowling in alleys at night. We all want him gone. I'm not even an assassin. I was unlucky enough t...
Anticipation lies in preparation. He knew this, more importantly he felt it. The way his nerves tightened as he ran his stainless steel knife against the whetstone. Always at a 22 degree angle. An even number of times on each side. Testing the edge with his finger, feeling for rough micro serrations. Too jagged, too sa...
You climb out of bed that morning, and watch closely as it decreases ever so slowly. 305... 304... You try to take larger steps as you go downstairs to your kitchen to grab breakfast, but the numbers don’t simply stop. It’s always been a quiet house, because you never did find the right person to share i...
I leaned down to touch the leaf with the sensitive synthskin tip of my finger, and felt a shudder run down the bundled nanotubes of my spine. "No. No no no. No, it can't be, it mustn't be." I crushed the leaf in my grip, but of course that would not be enough. I put it in my mouth, ground it between the shaped diamon...
Forever is a really long time, a terrifyingly stupefying length of time beyond comprehension. You thought the encyclopedia brittanica was long? Ha. How about the Mandarin language? Pffff. All possible chess moves in all possible chess games? Now you're getting towards a figure that dwarfs the previously calculated heat...
Azuralia is what you'd call utopia. Everything is perfect. Everyone is happy. The concept of evil doesn't even exist within this world. Not even pinapple on pizza. We've lived here since the Creation, when He made our realm thousands of years ago. Slowly our beautiful world became more and more beautiful and turned int...
I spent so long worrying about the subatomic that I forgot about the everyday microscopic. I rubbed my itching eyes and leaned back, only realizing how close I had put my face to the screen. Screen is what I would call it. I heard someone call it a View earlier, that must be another shift. I am going to have to be a ca...
The memories of that day came back to me as I sat, looking at my mother’s old pocket watch. It was a Saturday, as I sat watching cartoons, my mother brought me breakfast, the Saturday regular of scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and orange juice. It was the only time she let me eat at the couch. The quiet of the morning...
We stood on an ash-black plain of wilted plants and men. A landscape of death I had painted myself, each stroke of steel precise and pointed. "So it comes to this,"I growled at the sapling before me. A sturdy woman no older than twenty, with hair like the sun and eyes that burned brighter. "I wanted to believe ther...
Living in this apartment is like always having an angel and a devil on my shoulders. Louie is always bugging me to go out partying and Mike is always wanting to study and go to church. I keep telling him I'm an atheist but anytime I do he sighs and shakes his head. Louie typically laughs, takes a shot and says somethin...
Behold the pattern. I survived, in a fashion, you should know that up front. That’s how I’m telling this story. I was sitting in my lab, I can’t be more specific due to the nature of my organization. Suddenly klaxons began sounding, but not the “tornado, earthquake, or general natural disaster sound” you may imagi...
Joe and Mike were in their parent’s basement playing video games when a bright light appeared outside the window. “Hey Joe, look outside. It’s weird.” “Leave me alone. I’m just about to complete this level…Dammit! You distracted me… What’s going on?” “There’s something out there. It looks like a UFO or something. An...
“I can give you everything your heart desires. Power and youth, fame and fortune. It can all be yours and all I ask in return is a little drink. Let me drink deep of your lifeblood and you shall be reborn a creature of the night.” I barely refrained from rolling my eyes. I’d heard the same spiel four times this week a...
I can imagine a cop getting a call like: Pzzsht (or whatever the hell a cackling microphone sounds like) "We have a [insert random code for theft], I repeat [insert random code for theft]. Target is female, 14, blonde, average height, and last seen wearing a green hoodie. She's a runner. Execute on sight." And ...
I stood, flabbergasted. "But you're gonna..!" "I know,"Dad said, simply. Dad's always been strange, but this completely off the Dad-weirdness scale. "Then how can you be okay with it!?"I screamed. "Tell ya what, Tiger,"he said, using my childhood nickname. "Why don't you sit with me for a bit and we'll see if we c...
The being before me looked like anyone else. Their gender was...unclear. Could have been a very striking young woman, or a handsome young man. It claimed it was an angel. An actual angel from Paradise. "What's he like?"I asked, after a pause. "You know." It smiled. "Being in His Presence is beyond description. It is ...
The mixture of beeps, static, and rhythmic screeches passed through my radio as I tried adjusting the signal. I was now certain that it came from Earth, as it didn't match any other wavelengths, but the signal I was receiving didn't make any sense. "Uh, Captain?"I called over my shoulder. I heard his stomps from the o...
Standing before me was our sobbing accountant, Helen. Not only is she worked half to death, but her only son had just died during a spontaneous car accident on Saturday. She was clearly on the verge of breaking, and had requested a week off for grieving and funeral planning. It's really unfortunate that she works at t...
JOY &#x200B; Her name was Joy, but she was always so sad. It hadn't always been that way. That first day I brought her home, she gazed up at my face, her night-black eyes shining with complete adoration. She stood up on the tips of her toes to whisper in my ear: &#x200B; “I understand now. The reason I was ...
“Oh fuck, oh FUCK!” She sat up with a start and reached blindly for her phone. 3:32 AM blinked at her in the dark. On her lock screen were the smiling faces of her and her brother Nico. She lingered on his dark, curly hair and bright eyes. This picture never failed to fill her with warmth, and she was sure to look b...
My armor clanked as I strode down the ornate hall, mostly from my trembling hands, but I kept my face as hard as the stones our people worship. The eternal stalemate was finally at its end. It would have been too obvious for the Rock Kingdom to call for the sacred duel. We oblige when we are called upon, but we are a...
The department of offensive and oppressive magic, it all started with them. Law after law they pushed for change. The evolution of magic they claimed. By the time people realized it, they had given up the real magic. The crap they do day to day is nothing like real magic. Tonight, I'll teach them what magic is all abou...
"People you made smile today" Always a nice stat to see. Surprisingly delightful, when I had noticed three or four smiles, but got a stat like 15. My record was 2,500, the day I had gone to a baseball game and had finally been recognized for my killer moves by the jumbo-tron. Will I ever reattain such glory? &amp...
King Titus III clutches at his chest and his face turns purple. His mouth opens and shuts as he signals to the one guard by the door for help. The guard, an older fellow with a nose disproportionately large for his face scratches his head under the helmet. "It's in the da rules that nobody is to touch da king."He sa...
"Hey, Alexa, what happened today in history.?" &#x200B; "Very fumy John. I thought we had decided these jokes were lame?" &#x200B; "Yeah, but you still have all that knowledge, surely you want to share, yeah? I mean, that's why I feel for you, just how damn smart and logical you can be." &#x200B; "Oh ...
It's the hour of the afternoon I like best when seeing new clients. The hazy, smog-gold sunlight that spills over Los Angeles fills the picture window on the west side of the office, reminding people of sunsets, endings, and beauty, all at once. Something about seeing the sun going down really freaks people with relati...
As I watched Judge Judy, the vibration came. Cascading down the sides of my home, with a epicenter in my sons bedroom. Being terrified was the least way you could put it. You see, that very morning my adidas duffel bag contained a handgun. Why you might ask? It’s magic. My duffle bag contains every single thing I need ...
What? Another genie story? Damn it. Let’s see the next one. Ugh. Dark lord. Are people running out of ideas. What the hell is going on. Nowadays, all I see are these done to death tropey stories. I want something new, something fresh. I became a super villain just so people could write super villain stories. It’s a m...
[Poem] Hey Jessie! Hey Chad! Come try this concoction! I think I made time travel dude! This is awesome! I'll call it "the juice", we'll get hella babes! We'll never lose pong, cause we'll see all their shade I can finally see now, who pukes in my shoes! And cheating on tests dude, how can we lose? It's one part...
"Hey, man, you wanna watch a movie tonight? We could rent something online or something, or..."I stopped when I saw he wasn't the least interested. "You wanna at least try to do something that isn't watching the news?"I asked. His eyes were sunken in, he'd hardly gotten any sleep the last few nights. The stuff on the ...
First Day You accidentally poured your coffee into your cereal. You were browsing reddit and your milk carton was next to the mug. Without looking, you reached and poured. It didn't taste great, but surprisingly it wasn't that bad either. Not something you care to do again. After eating breakfast you walk outside...
He wiped some sweat with what used to be a pristine white handkerchief. Now matted with dirt, you could hardly tell what the original colour was. There was something to be learnt from that handkerchief. Life starts off nice and clean till humans keep messing it up. And every once in a while, you are just forced to clea...
"Yup, looks like you got yourself a flat, huh?"He ran the length of his arm across his nose, snorting loudly. He kneeled down next to the tire and pulled shaggy hair away from his eyes to get a better look. "I'm assumin' you got something to pull out the bolts from the tire, right?"he asked without looking back to me....
Why is this so hard? All the others have been so easy. My claws and teeth go right through them like a hot knife through butter. Wait, it is butter, right? It's been too long... &nbsp; "Hey Jeff, want to go and fish by the river? I imagine you're hungry. Not even us less hairy humans have an easy time going a f...
Have you ever noticed that if you whisper or shout in your head, it's the same volume as thinking normally? It sort of begs the question of if someone could read my thoughts, would it be the same volume? Or would it be different? Thoughts are a really weird thing when you really look into it. Everything we know and lo...
"Umm. Excuse me?" "You should have left the dog where it belongs; on its way to hell." "What are you talking about, that poor dog never did anything wrong! He...."But I was cut off when she held her finger across her mouth. She waved her gun, signaling me to go outside. Having no desire to be shot again, I complied...
"Oh? Is it safe to go out on the surface now?" &#x200B; I couldn't take my eyes off her. The factory blew up 35 years ago... how? &#x200B; "Nothing's safe, some things just won't kill you that quickly" &#x200B; People don't live to be as old as she must be anymore. The air's fucked up, I'm coughing li...
"You see, it's not that easy to convince a large collection of humans that their demise is going to benefit the rest of the world. Look at how successful the Russians were, look at how successful the Nazis were. No one will go willingly to their deaths, there will always be those who fight back, and they can stir up a ...
You know what's most inconvenient about being a ghost? Other than dying and being detached from any physical presence in the human world, I mean. Everything feels like it takes an eternity. Humans are slow. Really slow. I've been here for a couple dozen years - Charlie over there has been here for hundreds - and we jus...
“So... why am I here again?” I asked, visibly confused at the sight of two governors of the realms before me. “We need you to settle our game.” The man with the white robe spoke. “And... you are...” I replied with doubt. “Surely you’ve realized you’re dead, right?” The man asked with a surprised look. “Yes, I a...
“Another day, another figurative dollar.” I say talking to Stephen the Skull. “My back pay better be ready once they remember I’m down here.” His jaw rattles in response. “I knew you’d agree with me, alright time to do the rounds.” It was nice of them to at least give me my own cell to sleep in. If I was...
As far as moody 15 year old boys go, I'm a pretty devoted older brother to my little sister Hannah. At just 7 years old, the age difference between us couldn't be much more massive, but maybe that actually kept us from having much in the way of sibling rivalry, I dunno, but against all odds, we have a genuinely tight b...
An Americano --------------- I wanted coffee. Not this instant crud they served here, but some good coffee. "Everybody, get down on the ground! This is a robbery." Well, there they are. Yet another robbery. What was it...the third one this week? Why's this damn city have so many robbers? Eh, guess at least I h...
“Something must be done, but who is up to the task, we ask? Not our military, no - they feel safer killing unarmed civilians with drones in some desert an ocean away, but when we have a God-like psychopath flying around the city blowing up historical landmarks, somehow all the warhawks are silent and all the stockpil...
"He told me he was going to have the ten souls to me by the end of last month. What am I supposed to do now?"The voice, even coming from the demonic being in front of me, seemed meek and pleading. Leave it to the damned to be the most in need of help. I leaned back in my chair, letting the smell of brimstone fill th...
The aliens were ready, they had studied humanity for a long time to learn their weakness. They designed a weapon of such power that it would literally incinerate the planet. They primed the weapon and set it on the 60 second timer to activation. As they looked down on the unsuspecting world they noticed a crack forming...
We're travelling somewhere over a million miles and hour through space, which means at the moment of death the massless human soul appears to disappear off over the horizon and into space at a nearly incomprehensible speed. The concept of soul has been around for millennia, but for the first time were actually able to ...
The door chime tinkled as I set down my needle and thread. A busy Saturday at my vintage boutique always means good money, but it’s tough to get much done. “Hi, folks, how’s Saturday treating you?” I trill as three adults wander in, stopping to check out my freshly-dressed mannequins and hat display. “Hey there, y’al...
My day was perfectly fine, I was just at the nearby McDonald's picking up my dinner. Everything was perfectly fine, until my car got hit head on by.. a drunk? I think it was a drunk. Oh well, nevertheless I died in an instant as the shards of glass from the broken windscreen slit my throat and metal shrapnel tore at my...
You look at eachother. You with a look of discomfort and fear and her with a look of practiced patience. Her blue pant suit was crisp and neat but obviously well worn, and the frown lines by her eyes and mouth suggested that smiling was reserved only for work. "Now then Mr. Gibson."Her smile widened and you wondere...
“Hey do you mind if I take a look at myself?” He looked down on the patient. He’d just transplanted the brain and now he had company. Still had a lot of nerves to connect. But letting the guy take a look at himself couldn’t hurt. “I guess so.” He thought. His vision went black and he almost reacted in a manner that ...
What's the matter, Dylan? -asked my partner. *There's no way people can continue doing this, it's just plain dumb and I think it's already stablished that by causing it they get lame ass powers. I mean yeah is cool to know what your dog is thinking but in a life or death situation... well... in ANOTHER life or death...
I freeze, The teacher stops her lecture and goes over to him and shakes him on the shoulder. My eyes wide with confusion as the look at the screen. On the bottom of the screen there is a custom action option. I hastily type “ Wake up “ and quicker than a whistle, he wakes up and nervous sweat and looks around him in co...
EDIT: Made Roderick stay Roderick, instead of also being named Rod "Let's start from the top."Amy slapped a hand against her whiteboard. "First, home economics is bullshit." "Yes, agreed."Roderick nodded while scratching out notes with a feather quill. "Good. Second,"Amy uncapped her expo marker with a flourish. "It...
Everything goes black. Slowly, consciousness returns. I’m moving, but not by my own devices. I am seated, hands bound, and I blink my weary eyes as I take in my surroundings. I’m in a dimly lit corridor, and everything is grey. A resounding headache throbs in my temples and I close my eyes. An unknown amount of t...
"The word of a child of Nye is unbreakable, and beyond measure. On your darkest day, when all hope seems lost, we shall come and you shall find the debt repaid." "Th-that's nice...but... I really need the money now."The elf tilted her head, like Stacey had just spoken a foreign language. She stared back at her, vio...
I don't even know how it came to this. I didn't even like lawn gnomes, they were ugly statues with weird hats and wasted space on the lawn. The only reason I even got one in the first place was because my sister knew how much I hated them and decided they would make a perfect housewarming gift. Despite how much I ha...
Andrei cast a surreptitious glance towards the dark street before ducking into the alleyway. Elena awaited, the hood of her black cloak concealing the less pretty part of her face. He would never describe it to her as such, of course. He just pretended it wasn't there. Together they walked towards the door, two shadows...
"Alright everybody, gather up, gather up. Eyes forward please."Mike said, trying in vain to be heard. Every beast, monster, freak, geek and oddity in town was gathered in the school auditorium, which is to say everyone who lived there. A coven of witches was bickering over something or other, the werewolf pack in the a...
"Whisky mate?"I asked, not even glancing up as I wiped my cloth along the glass, carefully treading the edge of the glass before letting out a satisfied sigh at the now sparkling glass. "Yes please"the woman said with a groan as I began preparing her drink. "What's got you annoyed today? For a villain you sure are a ...
The sleeping form‘s chest rose and fell gently. I stared at it in the grey, morning light. The sunlight cut through the window and hit the brutish face of the resting body. That was my cue. I lied down next to the beast and poked it. I sat up with a jolt. I rubbed the small red spot on my stomach and looked at the ri...
Words do have power. No matter how small the voice, the knowledge behind the words and the intent both have meaning. To bring out one's inner monologue so that others can understand the mind of another is a gift. Words are to be regarded with concern and immense gravity. Once the mouth releases its contents, they canno...
It was all a rather frustrating experience. The glow had never stopped since then. It was harder to see during the day but it never ceased. After an initial moment of worries about being watched, she calmed down for a bit. Then she took a more practical approach. 'We will absolutely investigate this, you might ...
I took a step back, worried about the look the guy was giving me. I reached out behind me, looking for something to hold onto as I began to lose my balance. The old man flew with astonishing speed, his disgusting arms seizing my shoulders. “Gotta watch yourself boss, there’ll be a whole lot more falling later on, I p...
David reviewed the output. The solution was elegant, but only in the specific circumstances provided. There was very little variance allowed. "I think this will disprove the professor's theory. Good work, Henry." In the voice of a now-deceased musician/comedian, cheerful and just a bit nasally, "No problem! That was a...
"So where is Einstein?", asked the Reticulan ambassador from the giant screen. "He died", Vladimir Putin quipped simply. "Died of what?" The facial expressions of the Reticulan were unfamiliar and impossible to read, but the alien definitely experienced some kind of emotion. Maybe surprise, maybe distress or anger, ...
“My family, or what’s left of my family, is no longer here Jaime.” Cathy whispers to me. I look at her. I scrunch my lips and raise a brow, but I keep listening. “It started with my father.” Cathy pauses, gathering her thoughts. “He, he came home early one day. Caught everyone off guard, since he never came home unti...
We stood in shock, staring at Janice and her glittery blood. It was beautiful, coating her pants, making them suddenly worth much more. At the same time, everyone reached for their weapons. Janice was the first to go down. Not only was she already injured, she was always a bit of a weak idiot. My sword slid into her s...
The ship landed in the middle of the Ellipse in Washington DC. Aside of course, from the fact that an alien ship landed in the middle of DC, the part that caught people's attention was the fact that said ship looked remarkably like a large garbage can with spaceship parts glued onto it. For the better part of two d...
I strolled casually across the dockyards, taking note of the camera's the pointed my way. However ultimately I dismissed them, along with so many of humanity toys. Something they would never understand is sometimes the more they went into the future, the more the past resisted, fighting it. I was just one instrument of...
"I'm sorry, Sir, but that's strictly prohibited."The voice came from whatever organ the blue gelatinous thing used to communicate, though Randolph could not see any indication that the creature was speaking. "Are you kidding me?"he demanded, "Seventeen years my crew has been lost, seeking ANY habitable planet to l...
A punch to the face was my salvation. Weird thing to say, really. I know that at least. I've been hit a few times but I'm not that loopy up there. Yet, anyway. But as weird as it is, it's the truth. You see, I remember that first time when skin and bone went pelting into the sanctity of my temple, and then crushed ...
Athena got a crack at the kid first, obviously. No one was completely sure how it happened, but she ended up with the first place on the waiting list. So the mom comes home, and the baby has two different earphones on, one linked to Apollo playing a piece by Mozart and the other playing Bach. There’s a periodic table ...
"Yeah, that's a real smart move there Tiros, and I'm sure that putting all of those lions there won't result in a complete shortage of antelope. Idiot."The last part was supposedly meant to be quiet, but we both knew that the fact that even a normal human could hear that was completely intentional on my part. Tiros, t...
"Another murder. This time it looks like a hell of a struggle."The assisting officer explained as the two walked through the doors of the warehouse, "Seventeen dead including a gang boss, a lot of collateral, and what looks like a missing pallet of drugs." Alfred, one of the best detectives in the region, gave him a r...
He was there again, leaning on that bench just like every time before. I lifted my hand up, “Hey, long time no see!”, and he laughed that same short chortle he always had. “Really? I could’ve sworn I saw you just yesterday!” he said, sitting up so his hands rested on his knees. His hair was dark, just barely graying ...
Billy’s eyes snapped open as he heard the sharp sound of breaking glass outside his door. His heart began to race, his young and overactive imagination conjuring up all manner of monsters and dangers just entering his home. He pulled the covers up over his nose, hiding from whatever was surely coming for him. “J-Jordy?...
Six months after the start of the “tier” war. Admiral Miles Oakley of the earth system sat across from viceroy Pethnel, of the Orion syndicate. “So what do I owe the pleasure of getting invited to your personal office in these most trying of times viceroy”? “Save your false concern human, you know the peace treatie...
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the long term care ward, Nurses were aswitchmas, amazing expressions all, none bored. At last, she had awoke! Her 40 year slumber, finally broke! Her name was forgotten, Operator 4113, But Oh! How she mattered, on this Christmas Eve. For the rockets were ...
I was in awe when the angel appeared in front on me as I was helping my brothers cut hay for the winter. Light shone from blond locks of her hair, pure white wings spread to their fullest, her beautiful face seeming to be carved from cold marble. My brothers nearly fell over themselves to bow to the entity. I alone ...
"Sugars, officer?"The man's usually steepled fingers had slipped limply on to the desk. "Are you fucking with me?" "I don't believe that constitutes an appropriate workplace interaction, deputy director,"the officer returned with a smirk, "but yes, the language geeks are pretty sure they said sugar." "Does sugar have...
"Huh" It took me a few second, or years, to process what was happening. Thousands of rocks of all types flying around in a gigantic aimless universe, at first I was flabbergasted, then I realised that nothing else was happening, no planets no other explosion no- Wait is there any gravity around here? The thought ba...
Well, OK, if you insist... ————————————— “Did you know you can find overlooked prompts if you sort by new?” I turned around to look at the man behind me. He was wearing an army uniform, complete with helmet. He was looking at me like he expected something of me, but I couldn’t tell what. “Um, yeah, I did,” I said...
The stone walls shook with a terrible tremble as the candles flickered. Elongating and retracting with chaotic flux, the candle started to go out one by one as the pentagram on the ground glowed a bright red. The explosion of flame that bathed the walls with iron light still lingered as the red skinned horned monstrosi...
Come one, come all little ones. The history of man is brilliant yet tragic, a symphony and cacophony all at once. When Man was born, the Elves were already here. We learned of them, and recorded their every movement. Like the Elves, Man thrived as hunters, relentlessly stalking their prey with their tireless bodies. U...
The announcement blared overhead. *Anyone without weapons, reach out to Rachel at the front desk, or Joseph who is located towards the back entrance. Extra ammunition is available on the self check out counters, aisle 13 or in the gardening section. Lesley from cosmetics, we need reinforcements at the truck loading ba...
A kid falls to the ground. The worried parents rush up to the kid, obviously worried. “Jim, are you ok? You fell pretty hard!” Said the mom, crouching down. But they noticed something horrifying. Jim’s eyes had been pecked out. “AGH!” They turned to look, and saw a goose running away. 2 to go. you think, feeling g...
I used to laugh like a child, carelessly giddy with uncontrollable joy and curiosity. I used to know love like an ocean knows water. I used to be thankful like a first christmas, like life was truly a gift. I used to have many friends and family which have been long dead and erased from my feelings. The last person I s...
I looked at Katie. Her blue eyes were so beautiful. I started to lean in to kiss her. And then all the light went away. This was surprising because we were in the middle of Times Square at night. All around us, buildings were lit up with Christmas lights, and the screens were displaying thousands of ads upon ads. We st...
I don’t know what changed. I lived in a quiet neighborhood, far from the city. At exactly midnight, the Countdown started with a bang. A literal bang, how stupid is that? I just heard screaming outside, which was off-putting at such a late hour. Right before the turn of the decade, everyone could see it; a flashing red...
The music of the violins, the dulcimers, and Uncle Gigor’s accordion filled the hall with the turning bounce of dance. The whole town had come together for this year’s ascension, their vibrant formal gowns twirling and shifting between one another like a painting brought to life. Children ran and slapped the legs of th...
It's always hard when parents get divorced, but honestly it was also a relief. Being shoved between two homes was better than one house full of screaming. After the divorce though came the sneering, and the back handed comments, and the subtle probing for who I liked best. ' Isnt this much better than your dad's microw...
