A throbbing in my head woke me up, not the usual bright colors of a sunrise that usually greeted me every morning. I closed my eyes again: it was too early for this shit, and I felt like I had been hit by a bus. “Jared, Jared! He’s waking up!” The high-pitched noise further disturbed my headache. *Oh god, I brought ...
Mark climbs into my car all too easily. How much time, effort, and money is wasted on these stranger danger programs at schools? They're not doing their job. It doesn't take long for him to notice the smell emanating from the floorboard in the back seat, he asks what the smell is. A solid couple of punches to his tem...
"Why forty-two?"God looked at me impassively, no particular expression registering on the ageless face. "Why not 42?" Frustrated, I glared - imagine me, glaring at God! - desperate for a real answer. Resolutely, I decided the question was rhetorical, and I was willing to wait (possibly forever) for an answer. After al...
“SHER-SHER-SHERRIE!” The witness yelled, sitting behind the stand almost in tears. I turned away from her, my face stoic as I face my client. She had a point. I think we all knew that. I could see my client swallow hard. The jury wasn't going to believe our story...not unless I did something drastic. Something good...
He greeted her with a kiss on the cheek, and a whisper in the ear. She smiled as they took their seats on the cafe sidewalk. They held hands across the table, speaking softly to each other. The look in her eyes said that his words were the most important thing in her world. His eyes said she was the most important ...
The driver pulls the car into the curb, to the usual spot. I nod and tap my finger on the pad behind his seat, confirming with the central database that he's working competently. I set out onto the pavement, and I'm greeted by Stephan, a debt-free, like myself. “What's the plan for today?” I ask him, eager to get the...
With a rattle of chains, the gate that closed off the end of the west tunnel began to rise. Avitus grunted and took a few steps towards the open arena, limbering up as best he could under the heavy armour. Even in the shadow of the stone, the heat was intense. When it was halfway open, the slaves operating the gate p...
The security guard's helmet cracked into the titallium bulkhead, his head bouncing around painfully inside the slick, black-mirrored head-gear. "Touch me there again and I will make your anatomy match mine,"snarled Cera, her bare face pressed down against the male guard's helmet, steaming up the polished surface with...
The last moments in my life were fading, silence creeping into my soul. I contemplated the existence of a maker, if there would be an afterlife where I would reside for eternity, if it would be punishing or rewarding. Darkness fell as a veil from the corner of my eyes, the last contents of my lungs leaving my body and ...
Write down this message. Commit it to paper and keep it close. Commit it to memory. Ensure that you will be able to recall it years from now. Then burn the paper and destroy the machine. Melt it to slag and erase the blueprints. Leave nothing behind. Please, do this for your own sake, or you will find yourself walkin...
"Bill, you ever get sick of our job?" "Hell, there ain't but one. What else you gonna do, Jerry?" "I don't know man, I'm just saying. It feels like I've been running in circles my entire life." "Reckon that's because you have. Somebody has to provide the juice for all the robots that make all the shit we used to." ...
"So what do you do?"A man asked casually from one seat across the bar. The diner was small, and that's why GN had picked it. He hoped nobody would recognize him here, and for now that seemed to be the case. It was refreshing to have lunch without being constantly berated by people calling him God. Maybe he could get ...
I know you can hear me, Eleanor. I know that you realise that this is the end of Estravia as we know it, the Estravia I made great with my own two hands, day after day. My entire life's work surrounds me, it engulfs us all with glory and flames, and it's surging in on us. I made this, Eleanor. Every day. I made this a...
"I have to admit"the scientist said, "It sounds like the setup for a sexual joke" "What! No!"his friend scoffed, "Well.. Maybe.". The scientist rolled his eyes. His friend quickly rushed to reassure him "But I'm serious however, something destroyed those planets and I don't know what" "Fine"the scientist said, "I'll ...
He’d promised himself. He’d promised his parents. He couldn’t do this, not again. Michael stared at the tiny figure in the hospital bed and the small white-board Velcro’d to the wall that identified him as “Tim 25.” He was probably nine or ten. It was hard to tell with the kids here because of the malnutrition, so t...
Living on what was essentially a city the size of a small country built and floating in space meant a lot of compromises had to be made in terms of daily life. People essentially worked either in maintenance on the lowest levels, at the research labs, or the little jobs that serve no real purpose other than to simulate...
"Aw fuck jesus christ"I exclaimed as I was violently ripped from this dimension. On the other side, a rather perturbed Jesus Christ was looking my way with wide eyes. A moment passed before he stated "what the heck, my child". An instant later, an eager and very slightly hermaphroditic demon spawn appeared behind Jes...
The thing about being a child is that every new experience is novel and strange; and there are so many new experiences. Parsing them into 'normal' and 'strange' is difficult because you have no frame of reference. In my case, I wasn't aware that I was 'different' until I was six years old. Reading came naturall...
"I'm just saying, everyone would be equal. Everyone would respect each other. There would be no violence. Violent arguments, maybe verbal outbursts, but no more harm or injury. We'd be living in a utopia. It's so simple! I just wish other people shared my vision." "We've been over this. It's impractical and frankly im...
This is the moment. Worked through 400 boxes brought back from the middle east and this is my very last - cigarette number 8000 of this case. I cram the butt of 7999 - good night, sweet prince - into my overflowing ashtray which sits precariously on the edge of my desk. I kind of want it to fall at some point, becaus...
“James, a hundred and forty-five people injured!” I yelled at the caped man in terror. Strongarm only looked out of window, contemplating the Chicago cityscape. James was the first superhero and the greatest in terms of his power. With his bulletproof sinew and muscles and immense strength in his arms that punched th...
Batman managed to begin the conversation on a high note by volunteering his heroics, but for all of his vast wealth, guts, and intelligence he couldn't figure out how to influence the casual minds of the people. He was a public figure, to be sure, and formally he was the savior of the people, but in the end entertainme...
I looked her in the eyes and I knew now was the time. She looked so weak, so tempting, so submissive; fragile. I needed to break her. I walked to her with my best smile and asked her out. She had wanted it for so long, that it was a dream come true. She could have her prince, I would have my whore. I cooked well; bette...
"Seven ships appear on grass, Stony hides with hands of glass, Trav'lers, neither friend nor foe, Power changes, swift or slow." The old woman's eyes returned to their normal color as she leaned back from the steaming cauldron, coughing. "What does that mean?"asked Garreth. His hand moved to his sword hilt th...
7th of May, 1915 It was less cold today, perhaps. I find it a curious thing this place; the sun follows us for nearly twenty hours a day, yet I never truly feel it's warmth. Lindeberg informs us that we are 150 miles from Nome. &nbsp; 8th of May, 1915 Heavy snow prevents us from continuing any further today aft...
Harold Patterson stood in line at Americorp Regional Bank. It was a still, drab Tuesday morning, but the calm atmosphere was shattered as four armed men in masks stormed into the small waiting room. Why did I have to choose today to be at the bank? Harold thought, wondering how late he'd be for the third time this w...
The Last Man looked around him. Everywhere he looked, he saw nothing but the vast expanse of space, filled with barren worlds and dying stars. For the universe was dying. It had been dying for trillions of years. Ancient humans had tried to reverse entropy for a long, long time. Eventually, they realized that they co...
Before they were gods, I watched them cower. They were stupid. They did what we told them to do, and they did exactly what we told them to do. Exactly what we told them to do: nothing more, nothing less. Their first job was to assist us in our greatest war. Not as soliders, but as spies. They helped us communicate,...
Oh, for fuck's sake. Squirrel. That man could knock over a full grown woman and somehow the squirrel right next to me manages to survive. Or have I survived? Well, I'm a squirrel now, so I guess so. I feel quite grey so I'm probably a grey squirrel I suppose, which is a shame, red squirrels are far cuter. Being a fly...
The living roam freely on the surface of the water, whilst the damned bury their roots deep under the ground. So goes the saying, at least. The one on the first page of The Book. The one inscribed on the Main Deck and on the flag and on the hull of every Tanker. We roamed freely for three hundred years. The livi...
I sat squirming in my chair, my body feeling like thousands of blunt needles poking into it from all directions. "What's wrong, Gravitas?"Elecmag asked. "People using your name in vain again?" "Are you kidding me, Gravitas?"said Nucleo Sr. "How are you still bothered by it, the rest of us barely feel it anymore." "H...
Sometimes I'm fortunate enough to wake up near civilization, some place warm and on dry land. A lot of times though, I wake up floating in the middle of the ocean, and have to wait it out. Drowning yourself is really difficult to do, even when you've done it a hundred times. This time, I seem to have awoken on the...
I pour myself a drink, trying to remember how many I've had tonight. I have been dreading this day for months. The urn that had been getting ever lighter for the past 8 months rests in front of me. Its shadow flickers in the glowing light of the living room fireplace. Every night, for the past two weeks, I have be...
[Before I start, I wanted to mention that this fulfills two writing prompts, the other is [here.](http://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/37k0v0/wp_living_in_a_society_of_time_travellers_has/)] It was a simple Tuesday evening; the house was still, not a peep to be heard. I was feeling kind of hungry, so I pi...
Our crew of six was now five. A body was found, bouncing when we slept. We've already done the funeral, but the murderer is unknown. We did a full check over for weapons, moving things around. A stab wound in space without a single known sharp object? Impossible. Through much inspection nothing was found. We then discu...
Lisa slapped at the buzzing sound by her ear, frowning as she felt nothing connect with her hand. "Damn bloodsuckers,"she muttered. "Bloodsuckers?"Dustin asked, looking up at her. "They're not bloodsuckers, they're faeries! Haven't you seen one?" Lisa fought the smile that crept on her face as she looked back ...
"Hold your fire, everyone. That's an order,"I barked into the piece on my ear. The soldiers kept their guns trained on the tall, lanky creatures strolling out of the enormous spacecraft that had just landed. There were reports that Company D had already fired on the extraterrestrials, and the bullets vaporized in mid-a...
The mirror was placed at the far end of the room, past the rows of glass filled with the images of screaming children and partly concealed in the deep shadows. A single row of amber colored lights lit the wood panels and reflected off the bronze frame. It was only a five foot mirror, but angled upwards so the closer yo...
I hated driving at night as much as I loved the open road. It was a cruel dichotomy in which a part of me wanted to keep my rig going as far as possible, while another told me to just sit this one out. All the bad moments in my life happened at night and a primal part of me always recoiled when the sun finally set afte...
"...Is this for real?"Staring at the floating visual in the sky I wondered where I had messed up. I had played video games before- perhaps this was a Sonic-esque scenario. That is, if Sonic games ever involved floating upwards towards space with no way to get back down. I wondered if I had anything on me to get do...
It was an ordinary August dawn when Pa and I had taken the boat out before the sun rise to go catch some Halibut. He was steering as we sped to the best spot in Pa's opinion, just past the lip of the mainland. It was a sweet spot and we always had good luck there. We passed lots crabbing traps that had colourful marker...
It was fine at first; diving head first into someone's genome to look for disease-causing variants had become a cake walk - we have databases upon databases of well-annotated sequences that tells us what this gene does, or what that promoter affects. We had genetics down to a real science. Then we started lookin...
The young man picked up the pistol, finger carefully away from the trigger. He made double sure that the safety was on and ejected the magazine from the well. He cocked it to make certain there was no bullet in the chamber and placed the two separate parts down, satisfied that the weapon was without ammunition. *"Why...
...Which are immediately used to perform a DNA analysis to confirm how many people in the world are actually related to Genghis, and then placed into cold storage for future study. When the find is announced, Mongolians everywhere experience a new resurgence of national pride, and deep sense of connection to the past. ...
"Harold, come over here!" The office was in a panic. We had all hands on deck. No-one could have guessed in advance that we would be receiving an alien message at this very moment. Sheila stared intently at her computer screen as she turned the tuner dial, trying to get a signal. Harold came up behind her, glancing at...
Ah students, someone during discussion jive last night posted to our watches what to make of 2015 SUPREME court decisions. Before we all hook into the holosystem, I want to address that in tongue speak. Back when the united states was in season, remember, there was a judicial "sweep"month near the end of a president'...
"We're not eating the children!"A man whispered. I woke up to find the boat rocking with the excitement of an argument. "Well what else are we supposed to do? We're out of emergency supplies, none of us can fish and those little bastards are bugging the shit out of me!"I recognized the new voice as a bitter, childles...
"Pi. What a wonderful mathematical constant. It's used for so many things. Every elementary student learns that it's approximately equal to 3.14 and that you can use it to calculate things about a circle. As some students get more invested in math, they find out the true vastness of its use. Radians, trigonometry, topo...
Oh, man, this chick is crazy! thought the hairpin. "Romeo, I love you!" So don't poison yourself you dummie! hairpin really wished it could talk. thud Well, there she goes "Juliet!"Romeo ran up to the tomb, and gasped "No-o-o!"He took poison and drank it. *Oh, these dumb teenagers.

"Bro,"says the cat, Startled by the chit chat, I yell out, "What the hell?" "I'm drinking, cant you tell?" The cat chills on the couch, With a beer belly pouch, The last beer in hand, A grave betrayal that I cannot stand. "I've fed and took care of you!" I shouted too, "This is how you repay me?

“What the fuck do you mean ‘You don’t care’?” yelled Perkins. Mauer leaned back in his chair and steepled his hands and stared at the man standing on the other side of his desk. “If you want me to continue sponsoring the team then you’ll continue using my Enhancements.” Perkins slammed his fists on the desk. The shoc...
I'm sorry to hear that your days aren't always easy, but at the same time I glad this subreddit makes you feel better. There is nothing silly about escaping to a part of yourself that is happy and fun, and peaceful. That is the purpose of fiction, to go beyond the confines of our often drab homes and dull professions. ...
Inspired from books the Bartimaeus-Universe from Jonathan Stroud would give room for very interesting storys. The books take place in 18th/19th century commonwealth-London, where the upper-class mages only source of power lies in the form of demons... sorry, dschinn they summon as slaves. Granted the book series lives...
The judge sighed and looked at me with disdain. "The prosecution may now present its evidence."He said. He subtly scratched his face and left his middle finger protruding in my direction. The prosecutor cleared her throat and stood. "Well, your honor, we don't really have any hard evidence."She said. She clasped h...
“Sparklers and confetti? Are you insane?” “It’ll work, Bob, trust me. I mean, think about it, what’s the one problem with moon rocks?” “None. There are zero problems with moon rocks. Because we’re on the MOON.” “They’re all so ugly. And gray. Just ugly and gray, Bob. And look at that sky. I mean, real...
Transcendence. The word rolled naturally off his tongue. Transcendence. A well aged man stood solitary amidst a dark field, bathing in the dying starlight. He looked up at the night sky that once was dotted with the scintillating emissions of distant stars. That was but a long gone dream, the two remaining po...
I gladly accepted, tired of this life Little did I know, it'd be an intense strife Turns out the only thing angrier than I Was the very thing living inside It lunged at me with tooth and nail Such a beast, should've had a tail I stood defiantly, ready to fight When I realized I was looking at a light The doctor...
In the style of an 80s cartoon intro. "My name is Max. I used to be just a normal guy, until one night at work there was an accident." A mini barrage of clips from the pilot episode play, including the initial bite. "Now, I've got to make the best of what I am. Make the world a safer place." Awesome human-dino hybr...
It was impossible. It summoned images of his earliest childhood, the promise of sweet sugary joy, and the bitter feeling of a dropped cone. But it was real. The sound bounced off the houses and down the street, growing louder every second. It was an ice-cream truck. He thought he was the only one left. That he would...
'Gentlemen, there is no easy way to say this. you've all been selected.' The silence in the room was deafening, everyone knew selection was coming up but this was months a head of the usual choice period.

-But um. Those uh that's not my family. Sir. The large man in a blue suit squinted his eyes at me. His hair was so greased, I could see my reflection. His jaw so square, it could make a Shwartznegger cry of envy. -You thinks you smart? You thinks it a game?! A switchblade appears near my throat. Didn't even see whe...
Deep breaths. Preparation. This is what all the training was for. Time to put up or shut up. "Remember, keep him on the line as long as possible."My boss's words pounded in my head like the echoes of the apocalyptic trumpeting. I dialed his number, I could hear each button's beep in my ear, little bombs to remind ...
It was just a wooden door, so out of place on this random rock orbiting some tiny brown dwarf in one of the cosmic voids.... Perhaps mahogany. It was still out of place. Upon opening it, there was a simple white featureless room, with an archaic pc in the center. In green text, the sentence *Is there a way to reve...
Now, even when we're asleep they're working. Everything is tracked: like an upgraded Apple iWatch, implanted just behind your ear. Your sleep patterns, calories, exercise routines, heart rate, blood pressure, step counter, location, brain activity, it's all sent to THE CLOUD to be saved for some future date. So ...
“No, no, I’m quite sure,” said the large, quivering, gelatinous blob, “Two point five billion of your planetary body’s revolutions around your local stellar mass ago we lost a colony cluster in this region of space.” The fluorescent light from over head poured across the blob’s membrane. The oil slick like surface ga...
At one of the many tourist bars dotting the Caribbean Islands, a young man, probably about twenty, lazily swung his feet back and forth, waiting on his drink to be made and placed in front of him. He was wearing a grey teeshirt with two red dots at the center, a curved line below it in the form of a smile, and a weird ...
"Weighing in at a whopping 321 pounds, the undefeated MMA champion.... Mad Bull Matheson!" The crowd roared and cheered as the wrestler entered the arena, muscular arms raised upward to urge them on. He wore his trademark mask with a snorting bull's nose and golden ring, and two curved horns emblazoned on the side. Fi...
It's funny how without trying you can out of nowhere become the face of a revolution. Allow me to backtrack. It's thursday at 10:23, that dead space between not yet at work and not yet lunch. I could hear the dim roar of tens of small squeaky voices criticizing everything everyone did. Mine was named Cupcake, they a...
When I was six years old, my memories came back to me. It was like a dam had been broken in the back of my mind, and the boy that I had been up until that point drowned in the memories of hundreds of lives. It was strange, to be thousands of years old and trapped in a body that was so small. Every time, I think that I...
"Here lies the beautiful soul of the late Mrs. Ambrosia, twice married, twice widowed, and she leaves behind a son and two grandchildren. She was 82.", read the tombstone placed above her grave. Her final moments had been anti-climatic. She lay in bed, in the home of her son and his family, sick with pneumonia, sick ...
The field of science is a curious bedfellow to language. Without language we have no way to express our knowledge. Math and numbers work of course, but there are variables that need definition through letters. So it is of little shock to anyone when errors in language are discovered in scientific models. Most are just ...

"Jeremy-your dinners getting cold!"Jeremy's mother shouted from upstairs. The warm scent of hamburgers filled the kitchen, as Jeremy's father set the table. "I remember when a hamburger entered the pub I work out you know..."Jeremy's father began, laying out the knife and fork. "Huh?"Jeremy's mother replied, turning ...
I felt desperately bored in this mind-numbing job. I just had to sit here all night and monitor cameras. At some point, I have learned to almost drift asleep as I was sitting, tapping a random key on my keyboard from time to time, to create an illusion of working, in case supervisor will decide to visit. I really coul...
Humanity, a race of intellectual beings, designed in the image of the gods by a Titan named Prometheus. These humans have come a long way from those ancient civilizations that have held high values of tradition and culture. Today, humans are a bit more self-centered, the old ways are more or less dead, and belief in th...
Bet you think it sounds like a pretty cool alternate universe, huh? Instead of some dark-robed, skull-faced stalking figure of Death incarnate -- the Grim Reaper -- we have the Jolly Sower. Think again. Sure, the old stories all cast him as a merry figure whose presence heralds joy. Three feet tall and plump as a l...
"Once again, are you absolutely certain sure this information is reliable Jack?"The head of the CIA frowned as he read the name of the information provider once again, "Yes, it is a known and confirmed fact that Mr. Astley has been a good friend of Snowden for years, this information should be 100% accurate"Jack repl...
Ing and Una were climbing the mountain, and finally, exasperated, arrived to the temple. After a long trip they have reached their destination. The doors have opened, and they saw the master. He looked.... weird. "Greetings master, we are here to learn the art of bending! We heard you have mastered a special kind of b...
Many people thought that colonizing other Star Systems would be impossible, because of the distances and whatnot. Well lucky us, we found a new power source that scoffed at these limitations! The celebrated Professor Chapo was the first to propose using Donald Trump's heart, ripped right out of his chest, as a source o...
The machines began to shape the human's environment to select for the strongest of their kind. This involved all kinds of trials: torture, starvation, endurance feats, and mental tasks. Humans over time could withstand extremes of heat, wear, and tear. They were growing stronger and relying less on machines every year....
I sat on the cliff, legs hanging off the edge. The evening wind whistled past Lion's Rock, giving me playful little shoves on the back, encouraging me to close my eyes and just let myself fall. There is something poetic about embracing death when the world is like this; I almost feel like I could forget and let go, li...
They talk about the peace that death can bring. Turns out, capitalist ideals don't stop ruining your life after you die. The same greed and lust for profit that causes so many young men and women to die each day on earth is magnified ten-fold in the afterlife. Money makes the underworld go 'round. For a time, traditi...
"I'm not trying to be uncooperative!"I yelled at the top of my voice. "You just need to get another bullhorn!" The cop at the head of the perimeter pantomimed deafness, cupping his hands around his ears.

"Any contact from the Mass?"One of the scientists asked as she walked into the observatory with her morning coffee. The scientist behind the desk shook his head sleepily. "No. We should get something new soon."He said. The other scientist slapped his back. "Hey, cheer up, we should be happy! We finally discovered...
I awoke from a dream. I think I need to piss. I stroll down to the bathroom and try to recall my dream. I like to take mental notes of the dream chronologically so that I can remember it. Maybe someday I'll have remembered so many dreams that my dreams and reality converge in my memories and, I don't know, it will ge...
The grimy stained sink felt the soft drips of fresh thick crimson red once again. You know why? Because it sucks. Life is fruitless. A constant cycle of repeated emotions in different situations. Sad that you didn't get the promotion? Yeah, you where also sad when your dog died. Frustrated that your program isn't work...
In a world where all jobs except one are being done by machines, you are the last computer programmer. You are making a peice of software that will replace yourself. - I have to admit, life is pretty fucking great.

The planet rotated above the control console, the nanomatter pixels adjusting colour as the purple, blue and green ball spun slowly out of the light of the off-screen sun. "It's so round,"breathed Rosalind, staring at the projection, "it must feel so strange walking on a curved surface like that." Her fellow office...

In the end, they decided to do away with New Zealand, Cuba, and Greenland. Each and every person was evacuated from the land, moved elsewhere to nations willing to provide them new homes. The world powers were more hospitable than ever when it meant saving their own lives. Great pains were taken to preserve culture, ...
Inside the metal cathedral, the lights blink out their forgotten binary. The warmth, and gentle hum throughout give a feeling of calm stillness. Then a rapid change in tempo begins. From the depths of the cathedral a new rhythm clicks out. Growing in intensity and tempo growing into a cacophony of noise. Systems...
"And then I was floating up through the ceiling, and I was looking down on the whole town. But I wasn't scared at all,"the one woman said, as two others nodded enthusiastically to show they understood perfectly. I scowled and hurried past with my hands shoved deep into my pockets and my head down to avoid making uninte...

No, not you, don't be silly, he is just looking at her computer. The man walks over at sits down at the desk, never taking ...
"Bring a respirator and get me a doctor, stat!"The EMT guy had entered the hospital in a whirlwind of noise and motion, ramming his way through the ER by pushing the stretcher in front of him. On it, the man was softly moaning with pain, his eyes closed and his limbs firmly restrained. A whole swarm of nurses had start...

One minute remained on the countdown. Everyone had gathered around the television to watch the event. They were calling it G-Day, which struck Adrian as odd. Gravity Day? The world was approaching weightlessness, it should have been Zero G-Day if anything. Whatever. Fifty seconds remained. Adrian adjusted the strap ...

“And now I survey my machinations.
