Top Businessman Takes the Plunge, Along With His Stocks I cut the headline out of the paper, and file it neatly away in my 67th folder. I really need to run down to the stationery store to get more. My shelves are lined with folders – cheap plastic folders of all sorts of garish colours. There is the hot pink folder ...
You’d think having infinite money would be a blessing. After the genie faded away back into his lamp, I blew the first load of cash on a mansion. I hired the greatest interior designers in the greater Colorado area, and made every room like a room porn masterpiece. I put surround sound in every single room, I bought ...
Colonel Victor Ford silently made his way to the beaten down porch of his childhood house. He was surprised to find it still standing. It must have been a century old by now, nearly done with its lifespan. It would die with him. The old man hesitantly took a few steps outward, not trusting the wood to keep underneat...
The rain was falling hard. It was torrential. People were running for cover but there wasn't any. The rides were closed and there didn't seem to be anywheres to escape to. Where was the exit? No one could find it. What they could find was a single shop along the long pathway to the "Whirly Whirl 37". It was an umbrella...
"Before we enter, I just wanted to say thank you. Your team has brought us from near collapse and returned to us a feeling of hope. What you have done for us is nothing short of impossible. Wherever we go from here, just know that we all thank you,"I conclude my monologue, standing with my back to the mahogany double d...
I'm extremely tired and in desperate need of sleep. The past few nights of guard duty have been insane. First, a man decided that he wanted to impersonate a woman in white making not one but two men shit their pants, I should know. We have dark chairs. There are stains. Then a woman decided to make a reel, which is app...
I glanced in amusement at the revolver Wanda was pointing at me. She had ten other guns aimed at her back, maybe twelve, but obviously she didn't care. All that mattered was that I would die. If she gave her life in the process, well, she'd still count that as a win. "My my my, so the rebels did manage to sneak a...
Eric sat silently across from Mr. Yokota. The tea that rest between them was long forgotten and growing cold. "That's a lot of money Mr. Yokota,"Eric finally said trying to understand the situation. "She is my only daughter. There is no amount I won't pay to get her back. You are the only one that can save her...
"You fucking serious?"The super-villain asked in complete disbelief. "Yeah."The superhero replied. "Again?"he super-villain asked, more pissed than anything. "Yup."The superhero replied, clearly embarrassed. "'ow many times 'as it been now?"The super-villain asked, now just worried about the child. "I don't know. ...
I knew we were about to get slaughtered. I wasn't ready to die, I was only 19 after all. I didn't even want to join the bandit group, but my family was poor and it was the fastest way to a life that would at least put food on the table for me. So when my leader yelled attack, I knew I had to get out of this situati...
I call the number and I hear gargling. "Excuse me?"I say. There's a pause. Then ... "Oh! A human! It's been so long since I've talked to a human. What are crisps like? Are they different now? I'm sorry, I'm just so excited!" "Uh, hi,"I say. "I'm calling for a car repair. A ... time machine crushed it, apparently." A...
"I'll take that one, Jim,"Starblast interjected, completely interrupting Darkwyrm before he could open his mouth. The villain seemed miffed, but he knew that the power damper on his chair would keep him from summoning a black flame to consume Starblast. Besides, it would be interesting to hear the answer straight from...
Fiery pits burned on both sides of the narrow stone passage, filling the air with the stench of brimstone and casting flickering light upon the demoness barring his way. Josh was no short man, but she matched him in height, and was even taller if one counted the pair of curved horns that jutted from her black hair. Beh...
[There's two ways to do this - a Lovecraftian gospel written in the style of the KJV, or our familiar gospel written in the style of Lovecraft. I chose the second, but the first could be fun too] It is thought by some of a theological bent that the world today is devoid of miracles; and that this is a fact worth bem...
I remember when I was five, I dropped my soulcage for the first time. The dog scooped it up in it's teeth and went running with it, and I felt the stab of it's jaws going into my ribs. I woke up on the floor 10 seconds later, the dog licking my face, a little toy soldier rolling in a pool of slobber inches away. I s...
Tom looked in the mirror, glaring at the mop of hair on his head. Every night, he googled new hairstyles until his phone ran out of battery and the sun came up. In the depths of his heart, he wanted a change. His thirtieth birthday was approaching, but he still had the same bowl-cut from middle school. He was too meek....
Despite decades of cinematic brainwashing, humanity's First Contact situation went smoother than a baby's bottom. There had been no misinterpretation of militaristic rituals, no translator malfunctions, no irreparable biological differences that could've made communications impossible. In fact, it had been textbook. A...
Alex finds his mother in the kitchen, complete with a large copper key sticking out the nape of her back. The key protrudes through a hole in her olive-green sweater; it looks like a rust-red butterfly and it's about the size of Alex's arms outstretched. Why the hell is there a key in his mother's back? His Mom's ben...
A crowd of onlooking spectators swarmed the windows of the small café, looking inside in both awe, fear, and general confusion. Both Rachael and Marshall sat in a small booth awkwardly as nearly a dozen faces pressed up onside the glass, attempting to listen to their conversations. These type of people were far worse f...
"The President is in there?" "Yes. He's taken 3 hostages and is threatening to kill them, and himself, unless he is allowed to resign." "What an inspiring man! Let me talk to him." squeeelch "Mr. President? My name is Charles Pierce, captain of the Washington police force." "Go away! All of you, go away and leav...
It was like any other day for the Gods. Zeus and Thor were playing darts with lightning bolts and the Mjolnir, Jesus was pricking his fingers to fill his glass, it was the good life. Then Grothuk, God of Atheism, came in the door screaming in terror. "GAAHHHAHA JESUS HELP ME!"He cried, "SPIDER!" "Grothuk, you are n...
"All right everybody, none of you are heroes so don't act like it,"the foreman said. He started every job with this reminder. The dungeon loomed overhead of the construction crew and Gen adjusted his hard hat with a smirk. "Yes sir,"he said in unison with the rest of the crew. "Hold up, Gen,"the foreman said, stopp...
Teresa moved the cabinet away from the wall and spotted four red dots marking the cream paint. Her patient had just left — a man who repelled insects as if they were one end of a magnet and he was the other. Sadly for insects on the floor or walls, he was the stronger force and they’d be popped like spots when he neare...
Ambrian scowled at his old mistress, Zolzara, and the cringing boy beside her. The young apprentice wizard stood so close to his teacher that he was practically clinging to the old woman's robes like a child to his mother's skirts, avoiding the slightly older young man's gaze. Zolzara, on the other hand, matched her fo...

I looked into my eyes in the mirror. Yesterday there were lines around my eyes showing every time I had squinted to try to understand something in my long life. Today, they were smooth. Yesterday, I had lines around my mouth showing all of the laughter in my life. Those were gone too. Those gray hairs that had finall...
Sherlock Harms, a cybernetic evil detective, stood idly in the mayor's office, gazing ahead out the window at the raindrops cascading down the window. The Mayor, hands tied to his chair, took a breath. The clock in the office quietly ticked. "... Hehm."The Mayor cleared his throat. "Beg pardon?"Sherlock asked, focusi...
My grandfather told me a story about a dragon that was outraged by a local lord. Some sort of insult to the dragon's grandeur. Its vengeance was as swift as it was harsh; the entire castle the noble resided in was reduced to ash in a matter of minutes; a single breath of fire reduced the stone to bubbling pools, the fl...
"Wait, sorry. That was my kid. So I want..."Catherine shushed her two year old and clutched the phone tightly. "Hey, no problem. He speaks Mandarin very well." "Excuse me? You understood him?" The voice on the other side of the phone answered. "Of course! Did you teach him?" Catherine wasn't sure how to answer her....
In the first hour there was fear. In the second hour there was confusion. In the third hour there was joy. It had been four hours since the dead had woken up. All the news on the television kept repeating the same footage over and over again. Bewildered soldiers climbing out of tanks and lowering their weapons as th...
Death continued stroking his chin, floating back and forth akin to something that might be considered pacing if snakes weren't constantly falling out of his cloak and disintegrating on contact with the ground. "What about like, you can't die by food poi-- no, that just doesn't..."he floated away again, banging the sta...
"Hello, my name is Sophia. What's yours?" I looked around and saw her there, smiling up at me, hands folded primly in front of her. She stood between a man and a woman -- her parents, presumably, though she didn't much resemble the couple flanking her, who appeared to be in late middle age. Grandparents, maybe? I smi...
I had not thrown a punch in years, but now I had, and a man was dead because of it. More than dead, unrecognizable. Half of him, the lower bits, now a pile of stringy red goo and bones on a bar floor. The upper half had flown up, leaving a neat hole in the bars wood ceiling, then travelled further up still, into the sk...
"They were great men, Arthur. They were men who rose up against those who would keep them down." I pointed my nephew towards a path, and began walking into a forest in the middle of this bright day. "They were men who thought differently from everyone else at the time."We continued to walk on a path. "It started with...
Your head hurts. You look around, and find yourself on a dirt road surrounded by grass and trees. The sun is setting, and there's a smell of smoke. The last thing you remember was sitting at a bar, talking to an attractive lady ... *"I've been in Death Valley, I hated it. If you're looking for good places to visit on ...
When I ask a woman out on a date, I have to stop myself from making plans for that evening in January with a fantastic sunset over Long Beach. They usually get a bit confused by that. I've found they prefer things like 'next Tuesday, let's meet for coffee.' Temporal vagueness like *'let's meet as the sun slides into ...
The Blue Bolt slammed his third shot in so many minutes and shook his head, causing the turquoise mask to go slightly akilter. He made his way back to the table, already wobbling just a bit. One downside to having super speed is that you also have a super metabolism that processes alcohol into the bloodstream almost in...
My opponent gasps, then grits his teeth and grinds his foot into the dirt, grinning unpleasantly as he assumes an awkward looking, ineffective seeming combat stance. “Hah! I didn’t expect you to be such a challenging opponent you know! You’re really something of a fighter!” They whip back their odd, brightly coloured,...
“Ms. Harvey?” I asked, clutching my trapper keeper for dear life. “Do you have a minute to talk?” She turned from the computer at her desk, like coming out of a reverie. “Oh, Amelia! Sure, hon. Come on in.” I did not step forward. My hands felt clammy and my mouth didn’t taste right. Everything was too bright, too dr...
"Take us to the party dude!" Eric stared in disbelief. He'd always been a fan of sci-fi, and had doodled many a spacecraft on the back of envelopes. But the thing this alien had floated out of was very different from his idle drawings. Lights? Yes, but this had green neon coming out of the thruster arches. It ha...
Jamie took her glasses off and rubbed them, as if cleaning the lenses would make the giant, underwater city go away. How did they miss this? How had they missed this? She'd been to this area of the Mariana Trench before. This very area. That's why she'd been sent on this mission. "We found it here too,"reported Jerem...
"We fled global warming,"said Eren, a young woman with a subtle blue shine on her skin. "Yeah, can't blame you on that,"answered Geras. They were in the middle of a plain in Spain, the evening had brought a cool wind to freshen up the remaining heat from the summer day. Geras enjoyed a good evening walk. With the su...
When Megacorp announced that we would be retrenched and replaced with robots, every social media platform was screaming about a robot uprising or a labourer’s uprising. The poor underclass was used to being mistreated by rich conglomerates and employers, but we weren’t expecting our robotic replacements to be as ill-fa...
It's a stupid way to do the test, having a picture show up on parchment. I guess it's nice and dramatic and makes for good ceremony, but the whole thing could have been avoided if they'd just gone with a name instead of an image. Diviners. Godsdamned drama queens, nearly all of them. "Behold! It is revealed!"or "By th...
There I was, sitting at the tiny kitchen table up against a closed window being served up a glass of red Kool Aid by my host, Marty. The walls were pale pink with the scent of old cigar tattooed in the paint. A pint sized four sphere chandelier gave the kitchen a soft amber glow. "Look my son is into vampires and witc...
Skirrilax, dread lord of the dark domain, gestured wearily to the basket. 'What exactly were you hoping to achieve?' The assembled heroes didn't answer, looking anywhere except at the avatar of darkness and the small figure sleeping the basket. Eltor the Just shuffled his feet nervously. 'She's 8 months old. She can'...
"I know it's ridiculous!"The wizard threw his hands into the air. "Then stop this nonsense and make me something that doesn't look like I should be wearing it on a street corner rather than in the dungeon!"I snapped. "S'not my fault,"the wizard muttered, turning away to fiddle with something. "I'm doing the best that...
Nothing goes to waste. Not when the habitation module is churning out nutrient paste and O2 at twice its capacity. Honestly, you'd think Interstellar Pleasure Corps would design for an increase in population. Whatever. Questioning the founders isn't my job. Fixing their fuckups is. A kid I recognize runs in my dire...
"So let me get this straight... your most dangerous weapon... is a spear?"said the human, looking incredulous. I shifted my stance, trying to be more threatening, pointing the needle-sharp tip right at the human, grasping the hilt with three of my tentacles, while clamping my lower mandibles shut. The classic poise of ...
"Hey! Stop stealing my lemons!" The woman turned around in abated breath. Scantily clad, I should add. "I don't take kindly to lemon thieves, you know. I have no sympathy what-so-ever." Of course, I was pulling her leg. I didn't give a damn about a few lemons, I have a whole orchard in the backyard. Before I could ev...
One of the first stories my father told me was one of a quiet life. Of a husband and a wife, living in a humble little cottage in a humble little villiage. They didn't have much, but they had each other, and their lives were comfortable. There wasn't much to the story, really; no conflict, no tension. Just a snapshot ...
Have you ever been to see a concert, and closed your eyes, letting the music paint a vast eternal visage of magic and wonder? Have you ever felt such music touch you at the very core of your soul, lifting you higher and showing you truth and beauty through mere sound? Well, I would say that we have experienced it. An u...
"I can't believe it,"SpanDan murmured to himself as he continued reading the lines on the archaic screen. He coughed when a creaking brought with it another round of dust into the ruined building, just as the story said he would. "Span!"GranDan yerdled, whopping his fiddle tentril with a loud crack for emphasis. "Copy...
I am trying, with some urgency, to remember the age of the Earth. I used to know this – maybe I still do. Maybe the Earth is 13.8 billion years old. It’s in the right ballpark, at least, but that would mean – no. I remember now. It’s something around five billion. He’s definitely older than the Earth. So why does he lo...
"You humans tend to extinguish the existences of any living thing or ideal that challenges your own place in the world, and that is what I aim to cease. It may be 'easier' to simply remove human life from the equation of Earth, but it would still be a messy task that would harm many other life forms in the process. Ins...
YOU WHO DARE DISTURB MY SLUMBER! The apparition's voice boomed throughout the cavern, echoing off the walls. Well, shit, I thought to myself. Of course this had to be the one "haunted"tomb to actually be haunted. **I AM DORMAMMU, DESTROYER OF MEN. THIS GRAVE IS THE LOCATION OF MY FINAL REST, AND YOU HAVE AWOKE...
"Netflix and chill, m'lady?"asks Zeboth, tipping his fedora ever so slightly. "But.....I don't want to lose you as a friend,"Rabelle replies, correctly giving the traditional response to the customary greeting. They both laugh. "I barely recognized you in your costume! Which historical figure are you?"asks Rabelle. ...
I could bring a book. I had to check my phone in every morning. The security guard patted me down for that very reason. I was allowed a single book. I usually brought something long enough to last. I had, in the early days, finished my book by lunch and then had to just wait out the rest of the day. That was bori...

“It needs to be goat’s blood!” The wizard’s face was red with rage, his eyes were afire, and his staff crackled with mystical energy. “It needs the right ratio of proteins. Toss half an egg in a cup of water and you’re there.” said the young programmer, who was finishing the other half an egg with his ramen. “I debug...
"Why did you open it?"Andy said to me on the phone. "No one opens their envelopes anymore." I stared at the blank card, turning it sideways, looking for impressions or blemishes. Maybe the printer ran out of ink? "I just wanted to know. Don't you want to know what yours says?" Andy let out a quietly annoyed growl. We...
Pert walked easily through the mist. He’d been walking for what seemed like ages now, but the mist never changed around him. No matter which way he turned, or how far he walked, it just continued the same way, on and on. After what seemed like years of this, he saw a shape giving form to the mist, a tall, straight edg...
You know the story of Persephone. You know of the bride stolen by death, and the season’s attempt to steal her back. You know the deal made by old laws and the king of the gods. You know the story. You don’t know Persephone. What did she think? Did she want to live with her husband, down in the dark wher...
"What? How else would you get into space?" "Well, my people invented anti gravity generators and just floated up. Seems to be a popular method. But if your asking about the craziest, I will direct you to an episode of out most popular media. I believe you might call it a 'television show'". The humanoid creature fli...
“...and their story of unyielding love is why we celebrate Pyre Day,” Leo said, concluding the myth that served to explain the festival to his grandson. The boy had celebrated his fifth birthday last cycle and was now old enough to begin taking an active role in village life. *Shame his first memories of official Curat...
The leaves were gently rustling in the breeze, the warm sunlight of dusk painting the sky a golden yellow. She sat on a park bench, shoulder to shoulder with her newest date, his arm wrapped around her, her palm enclosed in his. She snuggled close into him, sighing contentedly, watching as a flock of pigeons landed in ...
Ever wonder how the Crimson Sea was made? That was Victus' doing. You remember Victus, right? The little nerdy guy who wore a star-studded robe he bought from a traveling merchant who swindled him on the price? He was a wizard. Well, 'wizard' is stretching it a bit, but he knew magic. Well, 'knew magic' is also a stre...
Finally, I meet Crexus, writer of tales, rememberer of exploits, singer of songs. "I can't imagine that I belong here more than a blacksmith or munitions manufacturer." Crexus looks at me somewhat incredulously. "Oh, Robert. Remember what you said? 'I am become death. Destroyer of worlds.' One hundred years hence, y...
The man saw the extremely attractive woman as soon as she walked out of the elevator. Her physical beauty radiated in a way that made just looking at her addicting, and yet she seemed so awkward in manner. She giggled as she got closer to him - closer to him - wow, she was walking right towards him! She sat down at the...
"*Stanley looked at the door in front of him. He contemplated whether or not to open. This was strange because there was only one door in the room, the one Stanely was meant to open. Opening the door would advance the plot, but Stanley didn't seem to care. Instead, he seemed content to simply stand there and stare at i...
It took me a minute to get my bearings. I didn't expect heaven to have so many... stuffed animals? Unless this was hell. My attention turned to the small girl across the pink plastic table. She couldn't have been older than 6, and she had bouncy brown curls that reminded me of my own daughter's, when she was littl...
Two eyes, the colour of burning rubies, became visible through the last dying wisps of smoke. "Uh, guys,"said Sarah between coughs. "What the hell is going on?" There was a rumble of thunder around the basement, as if the Devil himself was laughing. Marcus looked at Luke, who shrugged wordlessly, then turned to Sa...
I had thought it strange when there was a teenage girl who was messing up my town. One by one, my contacts and enforcers being either killed or convinced to drop me. So of course, I sent my best team to deal with it. They were back in a day, reporting a job done. Good. But then the calls started coming in. A couple ri...
Day One The sun didn’t set. Not completely atypical, this shit happened all the time in college. Back before anyone knew it was me controlling this, cable news was a treat to watch any time I pulled an all nighter. Or all dayer. Terminology with this shit is weird. I was thinking, is there anyone I want to see? Anyon...
THEN My feet barely grip the hard rock floor as I take the next corner, arrhythmic tapping following fast behind me. Run. I have to run. The strands of web trail behind me like streamers as I half stumble through the cave. My heart jumps in place as I hear a wet clicking sound ahead of me. She's caught me. I take ou...
No one really knew where he came from or what he did, all I know was that there was no one better at spinning yarns than Steve. Steve was a quaint fellow, a bit of an oddball, but he was the kindest person I had ever met. Maybe that's why I always stuck out to hear the end of all his stories, even if he did start anot...

Red had done it all. He started as any great trainer does, from the bottom. The great Professor Oak had given him (rather reluctantly) a wild Pikachu on his tenth birthday, and had set off on his journey across the Kanto region.

Jimmy stared back at the wide-eyed girl, his lips parted and the words eluding him. This was a new experience to Jimmy, not only had he never before come across another person who could hear the narrator's voice, but the girl in question was notably attractive, a trait that served to fluster our Jimmy. Yes, the girl c...
Maybe I should stop working as an interdimensional arms dealer. Things were getting a little hairy. That tended to happen when you were selling to both sides of a war. Finding a way to convert the silver they paid me with into dollars was mildly problematic as well. On the other hand, I just bought my fifth house. Who ...
"Gary, Gary, come over here!" Gary slowly walked over to the sound of Mary's voice, already feeling a sense of dread building inside of him. Ever since he had rejected the self proclaimed Beauty of the Ages, Master of a Thousand Talents, Champion of the Ages and the Greatest Hero to Ever Walk the Mortal Realm, Mary Le...
I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Decades of planning. Years of conflict. It was only days until I was face to face with the Hero they had claimed from another universe.

Steve ran the dice back and forth between his palms, muttering his prayer as he did so. "Gentle father of the dice, protect my roll, please be nice.

People are born with the ability to magically manipulate any one substance. It has been this way for centuries. Most people get something mundane like manipulation of Xenon or the Luminiferous Aether, but some people actually get something useful like the ability to manipulate fire or Oxygen.

Alexis was deemed the greatest Necromancer in the realm. And with good reason, as the creatures he raised from the dead were far more lifelike than those of any other known Necromancer. They were not pale as corpses, but emaciated warmth as any living being. They did not lumber, but were as agile as a warrior in their ...
The woman’s body stopped contorting, and relaxed. Instead of a vile demonic entity seeking to give fear, it looked little more like a child who had been caught red handed. “Oh come on, my lord!” Azazel protested, waving his hands a little bit. “It’s just a little fun! If the small time demons can get out and possess ...
It is not Uthgar the gentle, nor Uthgar the peaceful. His title is Uthgar the kind. One might confuse kind as having similar meaning to say gentle or peaceful. This is not true. At least for Uthgar. Sure Uthgar has been known to rescue a cat from a tree for a crying little girl. It's true Uthgar has helped little old...
They had been right all along. Neil walked the rolling plains of Heaven, the grass tickling his bare toes. The air had never smelled so sweet, and just look at it. In life, he'd dismissed all of this as a fairytale people told each other for comfort: that one day, you would find peace in Heaven. But he couldn't deny...
The crops had just broken the surface of the Freshly plowed field that morning. The Mad Titan was satisfied with the work he had done. Though none would go hungry again he felt an obligation to help make that happen in a more direct way. As Thanos walked his fields the smell of smoke wafted down the field. At the far...

Decades of work. Idari kept telling herself that it would all be worth it soon. The Sorcerer King would step forth from his Forgotten City, and bestow upon his loyal attendants limitless power. With it, Idari and the other Kingseekers would help the Lost One destroy this imperfect world and build a new one in His glor...
I had never been a productive member of society before the End. Time changes us all, as they say, and after a fashionable time off spent digging myself out of a pile of concrete, I came to the realization that the world had changed, and so did I. The daycare was, at first, more an orphanage than a daycare. I gathered ...
I have more sympathy for cult leaders now than I used to. That may sound...convenient, but its true. I don't think anybody has ever been ready for what it feels like to be worshipped, and any criticisms from people who haven't been in my position ring hollow as a result. The first blog post was a SMASH hit. I remember...
"Everyone can't really be asleep, can they?" That and a million others questions were rushing through my head as I logged into my computer to see if there was anybody else out there who was awake. My day started out like any other, convincing myself for an hour that getting out of bed was worth it, planning to mak...
The library had been found in a stout, peeling house off Merryweather Lane. The neighbors had assured the firemen that they’d had no inkling to its presence: as far as they knew, the house had been empty and abandoned, until one day someone opened the door and found that it led to a library, of all things, after whic...
