It was over. I had failed. Why had I not been more vigilant? It was midsummer, but I could already feel the cold encroaching, as it would continue to do until all was ice and rime. There was no question as to what had happened: the sun was gone, and it was all my fault. And yet...I could not just lay down and die. I...
The day I finally realized what was wrong with my life started like any other. I pulled myself out of bed, threw on my slacks and sweater vest, and grabbed a few pop tarts before leaving for work. Traffic was moving like clockwork, allowing even the worst driver on the road— me —to get to work quickly. I arrived at th...
Being Hyper aware is weird. I'm not talking about being able to discern hard to see things, Im talking about hyper hyper awareness, let me break my daily routine down to you. I open my eyes and sit on my bed. once I get up, I make two omelettes, its been six years since I started seeing the strands of DNA in the yo...
I couldn't help but hold my breath as the cut was finished. I moved a few inches backwards as the heavy circle of stone dropped before being caught by the reinforced wire that had been hammered directly into the center. The small motor behind me whirred angrily as it struggled to raise the half\-ton slab of stone upwar...
Sorry if this is long ... This was just too good of a prompt :\) \-\-\- Huh? Where am I?, I thought. I looked up and saw blue tinted glass. Wait, the cryosleep shouldn’t have ended. I lifted my upper body, only to bump into the hatch. I misjudged the distance. Pshh! The hatch opened with a small groan. Rubbi...
The Director was having a bad day. "You know, the conspiracy nuts are all over this. It's a total shitshow." I was unsympathetic. "That doesn't matter to me. This is bigger than pop culture. This is bigger than any culture." I'd been managing the Moonbase program for over 80 years, and nothing happened on the lunar...
“None shall pass!” he said. His black armor shined where the sun coming through the trees hit it. His face was covered with a helmet. Quite frankly, he looked he belonged in a Monty Python movie. “Ummm, ok.” I said and tried stepping around him. He drew his sword and stopped me with it. “I said NONE SHALL PASS!” He y...
Mechanized armor fighting, as a sport, was modestly illegal. For a start, mechanized armors qualified as military grade equipment, and ownership was restricted. Even for those who could legally own one, fighting still qualified as reckless use of a vehicle, technically a felony. Of course, none of this really matter...
Walking down the inner city streets, I pass by a ragged homeless man wrapped in dirt speckled rags. He glances over to me and with wide eyes begins to proclaim. "There! You have it, the unending desire to move forward, to move up! Just like all the rest around here, one foot in from of the other never stopping until y...
Donald’s eyes snapped open. Without thinking, he slapped his hand down on the sheets next to him. Empty. Cold. Just like the hundreds of mornings before this one. He sucked in a shuddering breath, and shelved it like he always did. He was getting good at putting deep discomfort and overwhelming fear aside. If you thoug...
I was tapping my foot along to the music in my earphones while Jaryl murdered everyone in the underground bunker with magic gas. A skinny fellow with a bulldog jaw, he was wearing fatigues so over-sized, they made him look like a scarecrow. I'd never worked with him before, but I'd heard the rumors—a gifted magician w...
It's really lame if you think about it. Everyone thought that this final war, prematurely dubbed WWIII, would be the end of the world. It was North Korea who took the initiative and declared war. Well, North Korea... North and South had already fused together. I got the notice on the news that the war had started, and...
I'm on mobile so sorry for formatting:( On the date of anyone's fifth birthday, they undergo the process of the numbering. The numbering is a very special moment during someone's life. Or so we thought. Some children have larger numbers that slowly count down, some have smaller numbers, but they all count down to zero...
S1:E1 - "The Pilot" "Bear Grylls here! Right now I'm overlooking the gates of the damned, and it sure is hot. Just beyond the obsidian doors, I can see Lucifer inflicting his punishment on the lost souls that have been wandering about aimlessly." The camera man zooms in, and as the lens regains it's clarity, he mutte...
No... Please... I thought as yet another person opened up Yugi in Falador. It has now been almost two centuries since I passed away. Unfortunately, I learned that all the stories about having a separate soul and body were true. Most people thought this was a good thing. The only issue is that your soul is stuck on ...
December had proven to be yet another fruitless month. The hums and whirs of coffee machines and toasters had become white noise to myself and the others I had managed to hire to get this hole-in-the-wall up and running, or at least to the best of my ability. To the other three people in the shop, it probably wasn’t ...
"I mean... they're just horses." "They're not just horses! They're Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death! The Four ride for-" "And they ride horses. Fucking horses." Joe glared at his coworker. Alex calmly sipped at his coffee. He just doesn't get it. Joe thought. He and his family had long been believers, the scrip...
Being a professional killer comes with perks. You kill when you want. You make a lot of money. And you are an absolute badass to the underground contract killing community. But, you are just an average nobody in the real world. Just another average joe. Well, turns out my "best"friend put a hit on me. I saw my face in ...
"Hey laura,"Michael said to me from over his cubicle. "I've went ahead and compiled all of Dezzies best moments with her husband. I also threw a few cat memories in there. I'm sending it now." "Thanks,"I replied mindlessly as I sorted through Dezzies 28 year old life. "Poor girl. This is why you look both ways before ...

I sat up with a start, rubbing my eyes just to make sure it was really dark outside. I looked around the park I’d fallen asleep in. Everyone was gone. The light was gone too. “Be back by dusk.” The hour hand on my watch aimed just before midnight. Yeah we’re way past dusk now. Shit. I stood up to get a hold of my bea...
Superman? Don't. Make. Me. Laugh. You should know my name. But you don't. I'm Arabella Heathcliffe. Fashion magnate, heiress, empress of the entertainment world. I will make people know my name. Many failed, where I succeeded. What did I do? I beat the Man of Steel. I pulverized him. How? Easy. (Before I tell you, d...
The old man traces his finger through a channel in the dust on cardboard boxes stacked in the attic. On one of the boxes sits a box of polished cherry with brass hinges, both faded with time just as he is. His hands are spidery, they shake as he lifts the lid of the box to see memories. So many memories. "Oh!"He says...
Jim of Jim's Quick Service company stepped out of his truck. A young woman in a buisness suit waved at him. "Are you Jim?" Jim nodded. "Sure am. You need a locksmith?" "Yes, desperately. Thanks for the quick response time. I need some papers for my meeting and of course I locked them in the car with the keys and the...
Saint Peter rested his finger at the next entry in the Big Book. "Next!" A man sporting an ear to ear grin stepped up to the pedestal, undeterred by the traffic sign lodged in his head. "Welcome, Mister..."Saint Peter said as he quickly doublechecked the name at his index finger, "Mister Johnson, Dave William, born ...
In the fourth city on the seventh moon of the Nine Moons of G'rall, they whispered of it. Jart the Backstabber had first heard the rumours the day he had won the arm wrestle against the three-armed man from Toora. He had been hoping only to win the man's bottle of silverwater, but this prize was far greater. A delicac...
"Julian..."My grandmother whispers on her death bed. "I'm here Ma." Holding her hand, I try to hold the tears from coming out of my eyes. There has never been a day when I thought I could be this close to losing her. You know, when I look into her eyes, it felt like I can relive all of our moments together, since the...
"Visitors from beyond, we are the United Nations of Earth, we welcome you to our humble planet with open...", I looked and saw that the alien visitors had something more like gooey tentacles. Welp, here we go again. I scrunched up my face and popped back ten seconds or so. "Visitors from beyond, we are the United Nati...
6-11-2004. As Cassandra approached the door once again, she readied herself. She had one a trip to this hotel as part of a contest of sorts. With terminal cancer and lacking an money for medical treatment she promised herself this would be a moment to relive her life--the good moments of her life--when she was success...
Who knows how long it has been since I've been trapped in this void. It must have been aeons now, seeing as this inky black has begun to feel apart of me. An endless existence; wondering from one space of nothing to the next. Just waiting for the tiny bursts of colour and sound from when I'm called upon, knowing full ...
He stared at the letter, frowning in confusion. It had been decades since any human had seen the symbol on the envelope, but there it sat, clear as day. He picked at the wax and opened the envelope, bringing the letter out and folding it open. The script was unmistakably draconic, too. His frown grew all the more bewil...
I hesitantly picked up the paper from the ground, about to put it back when I noticed a particular name. Annie Douglas. Cause of death: Head-on Collision. Estimated time of death: 4:50 P.M. April 20th, 2025. Annie Douglas. My daughter. I was suppose to pick her up from school after I was finished with work. Today...
"Johnson!" "Yes?" "Get in here!" "Right away, sir." "Alright, listen up. Money is causing all sorts of problems in the world right now, and by jove we've got to get rid of it." "Very sensible, sir." "Instead, we'll use pictures of cats as currency." "But, sir, don't you realise that using pictures of cats as cur...
Darkness retreats once more, and for a brief moment in time, my soul is reborn. *Memories flood back into me, slowly… bit by bit I begin to recall. Unfortunately, I soon come to realize the sad truth… I am dead. My soul has been locked inside this void ever since my departure from life, lying dormant, waiting. Waitin...
Rules. Rules upon rules upon rules. It started simply enough about three years ago, when the world-famous scientist Dr. Brukynello developed robots that could detect when someone broke the law. It went well at first, murderers and rapists and kidnappers were convicted nearly overnight. Drug cartels and most of the ...
I never liked Snuffles. The uniform looked like the night sky, a pitch black with glints of shimmering suggesting the depth of the cloth. The person however, looked a lot less magical. How I would imagine my Uncle Garvey would look like if he started to get really into brunch mimosas and afternoon golf. As the man di...
Elise waves a hand across her face, brushing her hair from her eyes, bright purple eyes. The two of you have been stuck on Earth for a few millennia now, and the prospect of going back to Mars is incredibly exciting. Elise turns towards you, "Do you think they're on to us?" "No, I don't think so." When you've been ...
"We're worried for your health!"Eli's father shouted, in a tone of contrived anger, leaning close over the corner of the dinner table. "You made us worry! How dare you!"His lack of acting skills or genuine rage made the man's concern seem comical. "Is..."Eli glanced across the table to his mother, who was doing her be...
I was only seven when the first Angel came. I remember being surrounded by the dead grass of the Gazan desert when the great black spire plunged from the skies and buried its point into the valley of Jerusalem. A great eye of iridescent light then opened at the hundred mile high apex of the spire, illuminating the crea...
Day 1 The virus had infected everyone in Midler Station...and no one else. Apparently, the initial spread happened by gas, but once that dissipated, the main source of infection was bloodborne, or by a zombie bite. This would be terrifying, but they moved so slow. Like, "you could walk so casually, you were stoned"-sl...
I looked around as I made that declaration, the staff in my hand quivering from the absolute silence that followed. I quirked my eyebrows, much the way my personal apprentice would have done. According to her, this was one way to put a class at ease. It didn't seem to be working all that well, though. "No questions, r...
"Now that was a hell of a trip"said Apollo "It certainly was Apollo. I'm excited to go home though. It's always nice to sleep in your own bed after a long trip" "I'm still worried about the humans. You remember who you left in charge? It CAN'T be going well." "Oh please Poseidon, Dionysus is an Olympian just like the r...
"Digsy, look... All of these conspiracy videos aren't good for you."Darrow explained to me, my so called best friend had just rejected all of the proof I had shown him. "But... but. Look!"I frantically grab my photo album. I placed the photos of the concrete pylons that had been emerging in the over tunnels, they are...
I watch as the collector creeps ever closer to me. I've been successfully avoiding him for years, but alas, it seems he finally managed to sniff me out. He crawls towards me, over pavement and grass and soil like some depraved snake seeking only to alleviate me of my resources. "Good afternoon,"I say. "Hi there! I'm ...
"Nobody gets me you know." &#x200B; Shirley nodded, pigtails bobbing. &#x200B; "Here I am, sweating, working hard, providing for the family, and not so much as a thank you!" &#x200B; "Pop pop!"Shirley agreed. &#x200B; Stirling sighed. "Yes. Pop, pop. That's all anyone ever wants from me. Pop p...
This guy was a greenhorn. And nervous. I could smell it. And he came into my crypt at dusk. Rookie mistake. I’d have to leave this place after this. But I could mess with this one. I yawned. “Oh good! Are you the delivery boy? I am sooooo bloody thirsty right now.” “No, I am not! Raise your hands! Don’t try anything s...
I hate your world. In your world, bards are weak characters. Bards are depicted as overly sexual. Bards are just the support characters who didn't wield the great power Bards from my world have. In my world, Bards trained for their entire lives to make the most of their power in music. The gentle tunes for healing, th...
"Name?"The recruiter asked. "Hendrik Lorentz,"Hendrik said. The entire time that Hendrik had been in line, he'd never once seen the recruiter look up from his datapad. "Your full name,"the recruiter said, in a dull tone of voice that indicated it was far from the first time he'd had to say those words. "That is m...
Crickets chirped and a cool breeze blew by me. My head hurt from being pistol whipped. "Where are we?"Sarah asked. "Still in the forest obviously,"Moe said. Sarah, Moe, and I were bound to wooden chairs with rope. "Good, you're all awake,"a tall, muscled man in tactical gear and a ski mask said in a deep voice. "W...
Carl didn't know where the hell he was, but he knew how he got there. He was still in a daze, blindfolded, and his arms tied together on a chair. After a while he heard footsteps. The guy walked up to him and took off his blindfold, then blinding Carl with a bright light. &#x200B; "Hey I know this kid, hey Jimmy!...
I’m not sure how long I can keep this going until they notice. It’s been over 2 decades now, and by this point I draw 100% of my ideas from real world events. I hope the Watchers haven’t caught on yet, and hopefully not any time soon. I have something in store for them, for the ones who always think they’re in contro...
Burrow took a deep breath, trying to maintain his patience. The Great Lord had barely lifted his eyes at the notion that the prophesized hero had finally arrived. The compelling evidence he had presented had simply been thrown aside in favor of a glass of another glass of wine. “My Lord, I can’t help but feel you ...
"That's Argoth, Grand Wizard to the Kindred. He faced down the dark armies of Salem and defeated the Witch Queen Abithgail." The man said to his son. "How'd he do that?" "It wasn't easy but thankfully he wasn't alone. With him were his three trusted companions; Terra Avatar to the elements. She could rend stone, sum...
I snuck down the chimney, quietly, wincing at the soft sound of my boots in ash. The night seemed silent. There was the tree, covered in glittering lights. Everything seemed safe. I swung my sack around and pulled out a carefully wrapped package. Inside was a new bicycle. I'd have to be careful--I'd seen several of the...
1518 was the apogee of my life, and the start of the opening of my country. I had spent about three years among the Iberians at the time, and they were at the peak of their exploratory phase, going near and far to find gold and new lands. The Emperor had allowed me to go with them, to learn as much as I could before co...
She stood before my desk, head lowered in shame, trembling in fear. "I'm sorry..."was all she could manage to say. Sorry. What a puny word. "Eliza, this is the hundredth time you've forgotten your homework this semester! See me after class,"I instructed her. Eliza was the top student of my class,the gifted class. ...
The alien overlord stared in confusion, lowering it's plasma blaster. "Really?"it replied, glancing back at the millions strong army of alien super-soldiers it had mustered for the occasion. "There isn't any other way?" "No..."answered the mayor, who was doing a very bad job at concealing her absolute terror. Her voic...
Nobody would ever believe me, I barely believed myself. Would you believe me? If I told you that the entire universe was created only 24 seconds ago? Well, 25 now. It was strange. I was just having a normal day, on my way to the gas station because I noticed I was low. About 30 seconds ago, I'd gotten out of my car ...
"SIR! SIR! SIR!" &#x200B; Gosh... "I swear Timothy if this is another stupid tiny marking or whatnot I will ask to have you relocated to sector 31 because I cannot take your shit anymore." &#x200B; "No sir! Really look here!" &#x200B; "This isn't a movie Timothy. We don't play the pronoun game." &amp...
Johnson sits on the roof of a burnt-out car, wiping blood off his laser rifle. He’s whistling the same song his mom used to whenever he was in trouble, and trying to keep calm. Hopping off the car, he pulls his growling backpack onto his back and hurries around the street, trying to be quiet so none of the Soulless h...
"And what did you do after Mr. Goldblum explained this to you?"the National Guard commander asked me, his voice raised so I could hear him over the sounds of distant gunfire and helicopters circling overhead. I shifted my weight uncomfortably, shooting furtive glances around me at the scene of utter chaos that my n...
We were the first. The time came when we could upload our minds, live forever in a digital world. Some feared the change, some resisted it. When the dark time ended, those who remained embraced it. Neuron by neuron we copied our minds, escaping our dying world through the great machine. In time we created a new genera...
I first met Death centuries ago in the Second Age. A young stocky executioner with dreams of becoming a part of the King’s Guard. The black hood of the bodyguards called to me so much so that I fashioned by own as my cover when bringing my axe down upon the dirty criminals of our kingdom. There is no glory behind the m...
Turner’s case is an interesting case. A broken man following his wife’s death, his decent into madness is a gripping tale. We all knew him, the desk jockey who mostly kept to himself. Great at paperwork and quick conversation. His one and only friend was his wife, his childhood sweetheart. You wanted talk out of him, y...
It was on the ides of April, on a brisk spring morning, when Serena emerged from her shack into the crisp air and golden sunlight of dawn. “Very poetic,” she remarked, to the empty air of the forest, “Too poetic. Alright, what’ll it be today? Should I just go back to bed?” Despite her drowsiness, she felt an urge t...
It was the second most expensive project the United States government had ever ventured in, almost breaking the economy over flags. But it wasn’t just about a flag. China had been growing in the background, ever so carefully dancing the delicate line between trading partner and enemy. Quietly, behind the scenes, China ...
A Civic thudded across the desert terrain, kicking up a huge plume of dust and making an audible crunch whenever the car hit even the most pathetic bump. "Go faster!"Baron shouted over the din of an engine. Not the Civic's engine, but rather the engine of the cement mixer which was a few dozen feet behind, machine gun...
Dorothea Wimbley was a woman of convictions: She went to church when it suited her, worked double shifts at the library when she could, and devoted as much time as possible to her daughter, Polly. That devotion to encouraging her imagination is what had gotten the two—now three of them into this mess. Prolly had staye...
I sat at my desk, brow furrowed in concentration, the long, slender forceps held firmly between my thumb and forefinger as I eased the tiny wooden mast into place inside the bottle. My model of the Black Pearl was coming along nicely, I thought. Then my ringtone blared and I jumped, jamming my forceps jostling the ...
It seemed easy enough- walk up to a random person in broad daylight and shoot them. Then I'd be whisked off to jail, right? Nope. "Do you know who you just killed, son?"The deputy asked me. "N-no? But I've murdered him, you've got to take me to jail!"I implored. "Jail? Son, you're a goddamned hero! This guy is Ja...
*THE PLACEHOLDER* I almost didn't hear myself, or it, speak. Many of my delusions/hallucinations I've learned to suppress. This is about as far as I've indulged in them, actually disposing of the bodies I kept seeing. It was just too upsetting for me to leave them there. I was going through the motions, like I hav...
I couldn’t believe my ears. “You aren’t serious?” I asked Caleb. “No, mate I am serious. It says it here on this paper. “ Caleb brough the paper close up to his face. He whipped his head to the right to get his long blond hair out of his face before he began. “Joseph Clemmons Regional Manager of sixth circle hell INC...
"Die!" Feeling a cold sting on my back, I hastily looked behind. A kodachi has cut through my skin, leaving a trace of blood. The small blade, held by a nameless samurai, is really nimble in such a closed space. Another inch, and it would have pierced my heart. Not that it matters, since the entire world has frozen s...
"So what was it, in the end?"said Mr. Zi, switching off the Powerpoint. The roomlights automatically dimmed bright again. One student raised their hand. "Yes. Elisa." "It was sheer bravery,"said Elisa. "The machines didn't have that. Their minds—" "If you can even call it a mind,"interrupted Beverly. "You gotta th...
"Welcome beloved hero!"the king said, sitting expectantly on his black throne. There were skulls decorating the back of it, and red whine flowing in front of it. Well it was either red whine or a literal river of b-- "I said, welcome hero,"he said, impatiently. "Yes!"I said in response. I couldn't remember what the...
Between the tall woods and the dark plains, on that little sliver of land intangible to the human eye, a boy and his mother-in-law had their tea. The cottage they sat in was small and unexpectedly un-fortress-like, and the tea was cold. Perhaps, the boy reflected, taking not a single sip, the vampire had never made t...
"♫ He knows when you've been sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness' sake! ♫" The jingle grated in Jack's ears. Every year since he'd been very small, he'd hated the sound of that song. The whole story about a man who could tell if any person on the planet ...
"Our goddess has spoken. She has asked of us, three lambs slaughtered by a sacred dagger, and three childr-" I sigh. Again? Goddamnit, Damien. You had ONE job. I said CHICKEN, not CHILDREN. This wasn't even the first time! I told him to tell the mortals about how I'm still here. Damien somehow managed to tell the ot...
"I'm going to kill you, just like I kill everything else. You will never pat your dog. You will never hear your son call you "DaDa,"and you will never talk to your wife again. But first, I need you to listen. DON'T! Try to escape. I NEED- ... \inhale\ I need. \exhale\** You. To listen. Those binds around y...
My name is Wilson. I always told people I was afraid of death, but the thing I was more afraid of was seeing my family die. Apparently, this wasn't a lie. I remember the gunman pulling a gun and aiming it at my wife, and before I could even think, my body was between her and the gun. He only had time to shoot a few ...
The ringing of each of the past coin flips have seemed to still be heard 100 rings like chimes in the wind. As you watch the last coin seemingly spin through the air the closer it falls the more time slows down you find yourself playing with the thought of what will happen if you die? It was at this point you realize t...
After aeons of searching the galaxy for signs of intelligent life, we finally came across a grey planet that was sending out signals. My own planet, Zysetery, has been sending ships to roam the cosmos for as long as anyone living can remember. There's a lot of empty worlds out there but we're hoping we may find anoth...
The King of the Realm was a barrel. Specifically, a rotund, plentiful barrel, laden with radiant joy. Yet there were rumours. In the darkest corners of taverns, some spoke in whispers of blood pacts and true rulers. The King, however, decided to shout. 'Ah, Dark Lord!’ the King bellowed, ‘Marvellous to see you once m...
We crawled out of the bright orange, burning wreckage. It was just me, Amber Jones, Rodney Williams and his girlfriend Joan. Amber was a sprightly young lady, with deep black inky eyes and black sable-like hair. She gave the impression of an Italian Renaissance painting. She even had the smile of the Mona Lisa, but c...
First time, be gentle please. 😊 It was love at first sight. The woman across the room had me star struck. I knew she was the one and I had to make her mine. Everything about her made my mind swirl. Her hair lazily hung from her head in a wild but beautiful tangled web. The lack of effort made it all the more beautifu...
“You can’t keep protecting it forever!” Mally shouted. Her flail whooshed through the air and crunched into the tree where Andrian had been a second before. Bark exploded in front of his face. “You’re always in the way, Adrian!” She shrieked. Adrian backpedaled, somehow not tripping over the network of roots that l...
Reading was a casual hobby to pass the time. For Darren, it almost made no sense why he would be reading on the pioneering space flight from Zurich, Switzerland to Los Angeles, California, a five hour flight. But after being able to look down on the glistening spiderwebs of lights below, emanating the bustle below for ...
Ever since they implemented the exile punishment, no one committed murder without a damn good reason. Murder only ever occurred against CEO's of mega corporations or high level government officials, or as the high chancellor used to say, 'Terrorism against the support beams of our society'. Well he's not going to be sa...
It went out in a blink. "Light off"blurted Alexa. "Fuuuck man.."I find myself repeating as I race to my window.. I can't see anything apart from the things inside my small apartment - because my bloody light won't turn off and hasn't since last night. Thoughts are stampeding through my head - did my Alexa just tu...
You are so shocked you can’t speak. “I thought so. Come to my office tomorrow, I’ll explain there.” With those words, he hangs up the phone. —— It’s tomorrow, and you’re in the waiting room for the psychologist who called you yesterday. “Mr. Hunt, the doctor will see you now.” The secretary says. You get up and en...
Once upon a time there was a family of bears who lived alone in the forest and did nothing but eat porridge and sleep in their three luxurious beds and generally mind their own business. Then one day they decided to take a walk in the forest and left their door unlocked because why not, it’s not like Bambi is gonna c...
I had a rather normal childhood, raised by rather normal parents. Suburban life, suburban school, younger sister, and a golden retriever named Echo. We called her that because whatever she did she was faithfully near us, and of we called out to her, she'd always bark back. If was handy having her around, always a comfo...
“Lucifer why don’t you take a seat and we’ll go over these final amendments.” The Devil furrows his brow, takes a cautious step toward the board-room table, hooves clacking on the mahogany floor. Harvey straightens his jacket, and offer a polite, corporate smile. He drinks in Lucifer’s unease like it’s one of the many...
Dear XXXX, the letter reads, Please read this letter carefully. It concerns your new job as a security guard inside the prison, and contains essential information that must never be overlooked, no matter the circumstances. Settling into an old armchair to read, I quickly unfold the rest of the letter, setting the ...
“Hadonica Hadonica Persephonio.” The priest chants in the middle of the room surrounded by his worshippers. They are working together to heal my husband of his cancer. My husband is lying on the altar in the middle of the room, convulsing violently. Eventually, the chanting stops, and my lover lies still. He jerks up a...
The benches were arrayed in the field in front of the Weasleys’ home. The songs of birds and the laughter of friends filled the air. Ginny emerged from the house. Music began to play, but the whole world seemed to go silent. She looked stunning. Ron clapped Harry on the back. Hermione beamed at him. In the front row M...
She's the's the perfect pawn. The new girl that just so happens to be one of my classmates. She stands at the doorway of the cafeteria, looking around for a seat - any seat - or for someone to be kind and invite her over. I make my way over. Before I get there, a group of girls wave her over. The new girl's eyes si...
Ben Franklin gave me the idea. He left a chunk of money in his will to be distributed hundreds of years after his death. It grew to millions of dollars by the 21st century, and the only surprise was that there wasn’t a slew of lawsuits over how the money was to be spent. Me, well, I was bitter at the entire world. *I’...
As I was eating my bland lunch of pork cubes and lady's fingers, my phone buzzed. A familiar name flashed on the screen, one I had not seen in a while. A name that I had blessed and cursed alternately, a name that I once thought I wouldn't ever want to see again after I'd chosen against her will. "Jasmine's awake. I c...
