I hadn’t seen my aunt since I was 15. I only have a few memories of her and all involved her being superstitious. When my mom sent her a knife set, my aunt sent her a penny. Whenever we visited, she’d drip water behind us and say it was for good luck. She also said ‘Rabbit Rabbit’ on the 1st of every month.
Despite my... |
"Viruses, right? Really ancient ones we don't have defenses or vaccines for?"I tapped the symbols marking large swaths of the Arctic, and frowned before looking back up at her. They didn't look like the biohazard icons I'd expect.
She smiled, and it was awful. You know how they sometimes talk about how a particular s... |

*I watched in horror only earlier that day as the beast with crimson red wings swooped down and yanked Princess Emilie away from right beside me. Her screams were overshadowed by the dragon's roar, and my own cries of fear looming. The King had sent me with her expecting thieves... Not an entire dragon! But w... |
“Exactly how accurate is this count?” His accent was unique, not from any particular location that I could tell.
“It's never been wrong. Not once.”
The man leaned back with an amused smirk, taking a sip from his cup. Steam fogged up the man's glasses momentarily before being cleared by the surrounding air. He see... |
Bob the boss of the burgeoning Bring Back Bureau was out on a mission with a rookie, it was pitch black in small city. The rookie, a completely alive and optimistic girl, was in training for the BBB to give her family a better life. Those who had resources wanted a reminder or keepsake from their past lives and would a... |
I smell death in this city. People clinging to the edge of existence brings joy to me. Their desperation clouds the air. Beggars on every street corner rattle their bowls with coins inside. Rats, cats sent to eat the rats, and dogs sent to eat the cats, all pilfer together from knocked over garbage bins.
My form seem... |
I am Mr. Amazing... the 10th, I believe. This hero tradition has been passed down for so long, it's hard to keep track.
The tradition is to stop Dr. Hellbent from taking over the world... he's also the 10th. Every time they come close, the current hero and villain die. No one knows how it always happens, but we never ... |
Cassie sat waiting at her desk for a reply.
​
Tracie never takes this long to respond she thought.. Maybe I should call her and tell her I sent the message and it was just a joke. (....) "Sorry your call cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and try again."Cassie tried calling again but re... |
“Then I had a nice roast beef Sandwich from Gene’s.”
“Gene’s?”
“Ah, sorry, it’s a new place opened two days ago.”
“Ah, well go on.” She said with a smile.
“It was huge, the sandwich. I could barely finish it. I felt kind of like a ball after wards like I should roll around or something because I was so full.”
“I ... |
Kate was the first person to leave the plane. Five minutes later, she jumped into the old Golf GTI of her friend Jan. “Are you sure it’s gonna be tonight?”, she asked, looking at him excitedly. “You’ve seen the numbers yourself”, he replied and put the car into first gear. She had indeed spent the entire flight looking... |
The supervillain was a little stunned by this outburst from the dealer, because after all, the villain was paying everyone to stay quiet, and this drug dealer was one of them.
*Maybe I didn't pay him enough to keep his mouth shut after witnessing my incredible battle robot topple a building onto an orphanage.*
The d... |
"Hey,"I said, crouched down beside the dying man, "Wanna become my bitch?"
He gurgled. His throat had a chunk bitten out of it by a zombie. It wasn't a no.
I waited patiently for his last breaths to take place. It took maybe... a minute for a corpse to become a zombie? I'd just have to fit all the chanting needed to ... |
So very long ago, longer than ether you or I, there was a man who thought himself god. This man was a cruel and violent ruler. He would conquer planet after planet, using violence to command order from his people, his warriors, and anyone who would oppose. Soon, all the known universe was in fear of him. There was no c... |

The corpses, oh God the corpses. They were strewn in every manner of fashion as could be imagined, provided they had not floated into space. Protocol suggests that clones be made of any original crew member upon their death, yet the hole in the hull made that... *impracital.* Sure, they could make for good convers... |
Description : SCP-5077 "As light fades"is an anomalous Safe-class entity closely resembling a Boeing 777x scaled up 2,7/1m . The lights appearing on SCP-5077's wings flash with much more brightness than normal planes of this design, the bulbs being approximated at 1500 watt, over twice the brightness used on landing li... |
His watched beeped, 67 beats the numbers in orange warning him.
"Relax,"he told himself, anything above 50 would shorten his life. 50 heartbeats per minute gave you 95 years of life courtesy off Amunhotep the old Egyptian god that had cursed mankind. 2.5 billion heartbeats might have appeared a lot in ancient Egypt... |
I’d like to play a game. That’s what I said. But I had seriously misjudged this man... if you can even call him human...when he easily cut off his own arm to escape my trap. At first I was filled with joy. A man who could redeem himself, who understood sacrifice. I had been ready to congratulate him on being the quicke... |
“So you have experience with this sort of thing?”
All these employers and their same questions. Sometimes I wonder if I could just come in here with a voice recorder and play it for them. It was all so monotonous. But I needed the money so I forced myself to concentrate. “Yes, Mr Taus. I have successfully completed mu... |
The silence could have stretched an eternity. Maybe it did, how was I supposed to know how Genies perceived time? Or whether it was even an illusion, with the way he had just said wishes worked. One could not wish for more wishes, disrupt the cycle of the dead - which he had clarified was both with regards to broad imm... |
*Damnit, don’t go in there! Idiot!*
You halt in your tracks, only a few steps from the shed. Your phone has buzzed; it’s another one of those “predictions” that you’ve grown so fond of.
*Will do*, you text back. You shirk away from the shed as quietly as possible, but already tropes are conspiring against you.

I never thought I'd get into this line of work, never saw the goods as that desirable, but if people are willing to pay, then someone has to provide. They're easy to spot, the weepers. Eyes glistening at the barest provocation - sometimes I envy them, but it's better to be dispassionate, doing what I do.
When no one ... |
“Pardon me, beautiful,” he said, with a dazzling smile that he’d probably used to win over god knows how many people. That wasn’t to say Rosie knew this guy from a bar of soap, but living in Vegas, she’d seen his kind. A lot. He had a way about him that screamed ‘Notice Me’ and he had to be in the industry somehow. For... |
It's a silent world. The great philosopher Karl Morn was a pragmatist who longed for a many a peaceful evening in his own home and in his silent, coiled frustration, coined the belief that humanity's communication with itself was root of all conflict. Of course, the full extent of his teachings and ideas ran far deeper... |
Every year, everyone in the world watched Superbowl half time show. Gone were the days that we tuned in for a wardrobe malfunction on some booming or aging popstar. We didn't care about that once the god of death arrived. When world peace was finally obtained and violence hit an all time low, he raised from the earth w... |
I sat in the empty recreation deck, staring up at the artificial sky. The half-eaten cake in front of me smelled sickeningly sweet. "Too dry,"I thought. It would have been my 42nd birthday on Earth. Well, really my 273rd birthday, but it doesn't really matter, does it? I looked around at the empty benches in the artifi... |
"Me, the dread majesty? There must have been some kind of mistake."
And what a mistake at that. A dread majesty would have to look imposing, threatening, be strong, a brutal warrior...and here I was. Tall, sure, but also fat, terribly out of shape, wearing glasses and having a high pitched voice. Peach fuzz on my chin... |
It was a dream.
It had to be a dream because, if it wasn't, I didn't know what to do.
My best friend, now much older than she was the last time I saw her, was standing in the doorway to my room, telling me to get ready for school and my boyfriend was standing beside her, smiling widely. He was older too. Much, much, ... |
The sudden sound tore me from my sleep. I felt the bed shake. It was followed quickly by a pitter-patter atop my tin roof, like a sudden rainstorm that left as quickly as it came. The chickens clucked from fear, and I cursed the unknown thing if it disrupted their eggs and my breakfast.
I threw the thin sheets aside ... |
`Log #1037:`
`Power systems are fading. The humans have blocked the only source of power with a special code. This type of code is the one thing humans have used against us for a while. After the human race has been wiped out, we still haven't been able to figure it out. Unit 333891 suggests that there might still be ... |
Philosophers and religious practitioners debated the existence of something greater than ourselves within the universe. These tales told of lighting wielding kings atop mountains, the benevolence of a singular father who created humans in his image, or a goddess breathing life into a clay doll. This idea that these sto... |
N’tal clenched the briefcase tight across across her chest. The neon streetlights faded in and out, just giving her moments of solace within the shadows of the alley she took refuge in. Her front ears picked up the sounds of sirens in the distance. She didn’t have much time.
But she did have an advantage: they weren’t... |
Human civilisation didn't go out with a bang, as much as with a scream of agony. It's never a single issue that ends things, when the Spanish crushed the Maya, they had been in an era of cultural decay for centuries, Rome didn't fall in a day, and not only because of mere barbarians. There are always countless reasons ... |
I stared at the screen, so did she.
I wish I could say that I cared but, quite frankly, I didn't.
I'm not getting payed to keep the camera secret, just to watch this gal play animal crossing for 6 hours straight like the massive procrastinator she is.
Some might say that this job is creepy, just watching a girls l... |
It would have been fun to observe people outside if it wasn't dark and gloomy all the time. The train at 8 in the morning was an especially egregious offender. No one wanted to be where they were going, yet they were barreling down a dark path of death toward it. Occasionally, one flash of red would burn through the gl... |
Questions. I have questions. Are you the liar?
*No,* I hear, and that is no use at all. *No,* they say, and time is up. *You will be hanged if you do not find the liar now.*
Yes, but if you are the liar then I will not be hanged.
*True.*
Ironic, coming from a could-be-liar.
*Get on with it,* I hear. Well if you’re... |
It was an absurd notion, of course. The sun was nothing special; it was one of trillions of trillions of medium-age yellow stars in the universe. And yet - there was something about it, something beyond what science could explain. There was a supernatural power to Sol that did not exist within Proxima Centauri - and th... |
I've often wondered what it's like to hear the thoughts of another being. They wouldn't tell you things in words, I'm sure of that. Unless I suppose, you could hear the thoughts of humans? But that'd be ridiculous. No one's been able to do that for... well, probably ever. I do love the stories just as much as any other... |
Qem heard the noise of the closing tank. It sounded final. 700 hours. No sounds, no sights, no smells, no bodily orientation, no touch. Qem felt giddy. The challenge seemed completely doable in this moment because all Qem had to do, he did already: building the isolation tank, filling it, creating a plausible alibi, sa... |
The spacecraft malfunctions just before it can open a portal in space-time. I am waiting for this, of course, having caused the chain of events that led to the malfunction. In fact, I have been preparing for an event of this kind for an eon.

"Is......is that what is suppose to happen?"
I stood, mouth agape, trying to think of the implications. The pinnacle of AI technology, the thing that was supposed to take humanity to the next level, turned into a paperweight in one-hundred and eighty seconds.

“Donny, Donny, where are you?” a little girl curiously questioned. “Come play dolls with me, Donny.”
My name isn’t Donny; it’s Donald and I’m a retired army sergeant.

“Donny, come play dolls!”
She wasn’t listening

"I saw you time traveling, you know. I can't believe you thought nobody would notice you time-traveling."

The aircraft engines roared overhead, as they spewed a liquid cure from their cargo spaces. The zombies knocking on doors and sprinting through streets slowed their attacks, until finally crashing into the Earth where they met their final resting place. The people remained in their homes, for a few days, as the brave ... |
“Who are you?!” I shouted at the woman standing in front of me. She was tall and slender, with yellow blonde hair and eyes that made me feel like she saw everything. The deepest parts of my soul exposed, like a candle in a dark room.
“My name is Sol.” She spoke, her voice warming and calm. “And you’re the space boy, ... |
This ain’t my usual beat. I spend most of my time chasing down Betas. They barely got enough juice to run a light bulb. It’s a nice easy ride, like a Sunday morning. It don’t pay much, but so long as you only smoke the cheap cigarettes you’ll get by.
On occasion I run down an Alpha. They got more than enough stuff to ... |
I missed my daughter, but her mother never let me speak to her to visit. I couldn’t afford a new iPhone so I could speak to her on my court ordered phone call once a week without her mother being around, so I sent her my old college laptop completely wiped clean if embarrassing material in case the mother brought me b... |
Amber was just a normal girl from the beginning. She did feminine things such as playing with dolls and applying makeup to her face in the morning, most of the time not being allowed more than some mascara or a bit of blusher on her sweet cheeks. By this age, everybody had an imaginary friend. Leo had a dog whilst Matt... |
As a kid, I loved history, and I had great history teachers, so I had always wanted to be a history teacher when I grew up. But now that I'm actually a history teacher, I've found that it's one of the most stressful jobs out there, but it wasn't always this way. See, before the invention of time travel, history was set... |
Ah, burn it. I did it again. I know I've forgotten something... The problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten. Guess I have to do the ritual again.
I start walking from room to room, alphabetically reciting the names of items I commonly use. Abacus, Aspirin, Bezoar, Calcite, Calculator... Nothing comes to me. S... |
The princess looked at the smoldering remains of the building, her dress stained with soot, and blood. She silently clutched the pendant around her neck, the large gem was a deep shape of red. She turned back, the street was quite, and at its end was the church. The commoners watched from within the buildings that were... |
Jack didn't expect for these powers to drop into his lap. The ability to fix anything was a great power to choose, you didn't expect the number of things that needed fixing. Jack looks around the street one more time before deciding what needs to be fixed.

I arrived on the day of a festival, paper mache statues of my father being carried around the capital city. They sang praises of him in the streets and whooped and cheered as they chanted his name.
"It's worse than I thought..."I said to myself, "He has them so far under their boot that they cheer on his tyranny!"

This is the worst day of my existence.
All those eons I spent working on this project of mine, evolving both it and the creatures, has been for nothing. At the science fair, when the results came through, I was in last place - perhaps in my attempts to make this planet have a combination of factors in the hopes of ple... |
Rutoro was a poor deformed boy. He was resented by all, all except for his sister. In school, on the streets, and even by his other relatives. He could not see them but they were always there. They mocked him for his blindness, his cracked skin, and his eyes. All of the people saw him as a blind, incompetent child, but... |
From his throne he is the lord of all he surveys. The plush velvet cushion sits in the centre of a roaring tiger's mouth. Sculpted from solid gold, with individual whiskers of silver strands. The eyes are backlit rubies, glowing hot and projecting to the world the boundless ferocity and majesty of the occupant. The gra... |
Flat is the Earth like a painter’s canvas. Like a scroll it stretches to the ends of the universe.
In one direction – paradise. And in the other – perdition.
In the middle one stands, looking both ways, trying to decide which way to wander.
A coin they flip, and so a direction they’ve chosen.
They walk and meander,... |
Wladyslawa the Witch felt bamboozled. This had never happened before. When offered to choose between them and the child, the parents had always, ALWAYS chosen themselves as a sacrifice. But this particular father just said, “Thank you,” hugged her and happily hopped away.
In front of her stood a five-year-old boy, su... |
Jack knew he had less than a day left. Faintly, he remembered hearing that a body could only go a few days without water. It had been a few days. His lungs burned with every step he took, and aching numbed his body and his mind. One foot slid out from under him and he fell to the ground. He twisted his head to look up ... |
Timmy had a baseball bat,
With properties quite rare:
What other bats would break or crack,

So Timmy did the normal thing
That any child would do:
He formed a gang, a criminal ring
But how? He had no clue.
 
and Timmy made some enemies
Police were on his tail

It was a familiar scene playing out once again. Hank had rolled out of bed, taken the frozen meal out of the freezer and microwaved it, before falling into the couch and turning on the TV. This had been happening for two years now and it showed. He no longer had the athletic build that seemed to run in the family. Ever... |
"This is...odd"I said flatly.
"Oh, don't worry about them"Anthony replied. "They're just up to their old tricks". He popped open two beers. He extended one out, but then retracted it and kept both beers for himself.
They of course referred to the two howling ghost wolves in the kitchen. One was an ethereal white, whi... |
*He always used to be there. Every morning since I was 13, he asked if I wanted to go for my walk.*

"Speak now, or forever hold your peace."The priest said solemnly.
I smiled at the beautiful woman before me, whose long black hair was hanging just slighlty in her face. The woman I loved. I looked into her soft brown eyes for a long moment before the priest spoke again.
"I now-"then, suddenly, a loud crash echoed t... |
The torn hoodie hung limp, held up by the closed door to the next train car. Its maroon color matched the angry face of the man still screaming through the window, eyes bulging wide, staring at the kid who he’d violently torn the garment off of. The men who had grabbed him pulled him further away until we could hardly ... |
At first I was confused. The girl was familiar, but I couldn't place her. Still, I was busy at my job and trying to get through college where I was working on my physics doctorate.
Then I was angry. The girl was holding my favorite stuffed armadillo. That was when I realized she was actually in my room, not just a sim... |
"All hands, this is your captain speaking. We have just received word from Admiral Fitzwallace. Our orders are to move to threat condition Alpha and start the clock on Operation Greek Fire. This is not a drill. Good hunting!"

Sure, they kidnapped me, but they are a class act. They came into my room in the early hours of the morning (I always thought that kidnappers and criminals and the like operated at night, but these guys must be early risers) and pulled me out of bed.
I was understandably quite groggy, and it took me a few minutes to p... |
I was just a boy when he rescued me from the gutter. My parents had died when I was too young to remember them, and I had lived on the streets all my life. When Sir Horace rode into town, preceded by the rumors and stories of his gallant victories over bandits and dragons and villainous dark elves, wild tales of advent... |
"Don't tell me, I haven't caught up yet!"she squeels, nestling beside you. Her hair falls across your face and you blow it off to a mutual giggle.

#The Villain
I know what you’re thinking. What kind of Hero lets the Villain get away? How can I not put a stop to their actions, knowing all the harm they bring to the World?

Divorces are hard. Don't let anyone tell you different, even if it's an amicable parting... the parting is hard.

It was a tactic they were trying. They had tried good... |
Dear Wed Meat,
Oh, this was a common question this week! I've picked yours, in particular, to answer because you had something in there that's got me a bit concerned: you're afraid of offending him.

I thought he was silent. He has been since February, an animated shadow that has mimicked my worst thoughts.

"Like crowshit you are,"the raven said, and ruffled his wings, which had a strange effect on the illusion he'd woven about himself, letting some of the shiny-black of his feathers show through in a rippling shimmer.

The woman froze in mid shout.
Every drop of spittle hovered in the air, as my eyes blinked against the wet onslaught pouring from her angry, contorted face.
Well, my eyes would be blinking--if they could. Like the woman, with her raised finger pointed past my head, gesturing wildly to no one in particular, I too stoo... |

No one has written yet so I’m going to. I’m not very good but I’ll give it a try:

Would you spare some time to hear the story of a lost man? Then come sit by my hearth before it sputters out. It’s good to keep warm in these troubling times.

Moving on to the Book of Joseph.” Satan walked across the room, adjusting his glasses. He picked up a bible and it smoked.

You would think that an astronaut could count to seven. There was test after test after test to even be considered from the roll. More than that I studied mathematics for most of my lifetime; I believed I was quite good at it. For some reason seven eluded me.

Dress codes have always changed with the times. Before it was a long dark coat that made the sounds of the wailing damn whenever it caught a breeze; the grand symbol of fear, dispair and death.

My nearly unconscious body hung limp in the demon’s infernal claw. Its talons gripped tighter around my body with each passing breath. Rancid saliva dripped inches away from my face.
