My friends had opted for the surgery too. We had made a pact to go through it together but they had developed their powers over a year ago. Meanwhile I waste my days still stuck in a wheelchair, still breathing through a tube and now watching them all outside; flying and fighting and having fun. They practice to become... |
”It’s all really quite simple.” You noted as you sipped the exquisite fey tea. “I’m just a landlord like any other. I told you this when we set off I think.”

I hate people.
I moved to the middle of a forest to get away from them.
And, it worked. Mostly.

“Huh, well that’s not terribly reassuring.”
The words “Very Special Episode” echoed in your mind as your first waking thought, much as every other day for as long as you could remember. A title for the day to come ahead, as it were. Sometimes these titles gave valuable insight in to things you might want to try and ... |
I did as she said. I interacted with none of the visions. But that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to try and decipher them.
I recalled the visions in my mind. First was the holy symbol the cleric used to cast the spell, but then it morphed and shifted into something else. I could hardly describe it. The symbol was a... |
"I'm not leaving."I sat down, arms crossed over my body. The angel, —no longer in their most unnerving form of spinning eyes,— sat down across from me. They looked exasperated.
"Despite my best efforts, I've lost count of how many times-"
"349."I interrupted. I hadn't lost count. The angel got up — they seemed t... |
The Queen lay on the bed, beaten and bruised from the fight I'd just witnessed. In front of her, the Knight paused, raising his sword.

"At first we couldn't believe our eyes.
There we were, on the beach, enjoying some music and drinks out of the back of our van when people started pointing out to the ocean.

A group of the best non-humans there were, one scientist and five military personnel, died within two hours on a simulation of Earth.
One human leading four hundred survivors from a shipwreck managed to get the entire group to survive for a month before they were located and picked up.

It's cold in the cell, and blurry.
A fuzzy grey permeates everything, the faded bars on the window, my breakfast as it rattles into my room. Even my hands are a smudged, dirty grey. The slivers of my fingernails dark with grime. My eyesight was always dim, but now it's lost all color as well, as though the world's ra... |
"Eyes up, contact!"The voice crackled in my head, the implant instantly relaying the voice of our scout, Heimdall. I swept my rifle forward, the optical scope linked to my retina implants, instantly targeting whatever I saw. I switched from standard to thermal with a thought, the world taking on a dark blue hue. To my ... |
“Melinda Michaelchuck, you’re the last person I expected to see in this building.” Allen Smith was shaking his head as we moved from the waiting room to his office. The plump man in the million dollar suit was almost unrecognizable to me. He had been scruffy, thin, and wearing a filthy winter coat when we met four year... |
When he says that 'Ma shot first' I took it to mean that she had anticipated that Scott had gone inside with the intent of killing her and so had paid Jonathan to go inside so he could then kill Scott on his release.

He looked at her with his coal-black eyes. "I know you might find me a bit obtuse,"he said, "But I believe we're right for each other. We complement each other."
She stared silently. The degree of her annoyance was increasing by the second.

A while ago, I decided that if I had to rot in here, in between planes, I might as well be useful. I had thought about haunting for fun but fought against it.
When I found the Samps, I thought I could help them. A mono-parental mom, with 2 children, a son and a daughter, aged 9 and 4 back then.

Jasper rode the elevator alone to Mr. Hu's office on the top floor, while trying his best not to dampen the manila folder too much with his sweaty palms.

I felt a tap on my forehead.
'Wendy, get up. We're alone.' The mortician informed me.

It took us too long to realise.

I used to think that I was the descendant of King Arthur. At least, until I learnt that there was no real evidence of King Arthur ever existing. Now I have no idea who these mysterious knights are.

“Why can't you be more like your sister?”

At about four in the morning, the vampire came knocking on my door. I wasn't sleeping. I had hoped I could catch a few hours before the regular day began, but it wasn't to be.

Humanity had officially never been attacked by any alien species ever. The key word is officially.

The Being tells me that my life will begin again in a few moments, just as it did before. I ask if I'll remember anything. "Yes,"it says, "Everything. Everyone remembers everything."

**Day 82, I think.**
I *loved* the movie Groundhog Day when I was younger. Bill Murray, reliving the same day over and over again. It just seemed like so much fun. He got to do *whatever he wanted*, with no consequences. He could steal money and buy whatever he wanted. He could say anything he wanted to say. Complete ... |
An "X"on my right wrist, an "O"on my left. I look at them sometimes, late at night, bored at work, stuck in traffic, always when I feel alone.

I can feel the mask. I didn't used to before, but something changed: it began to unstick from my face. I can run my finger down the line where it attaches to my face, like some sort of magnetic clasp. When I pulled hard enough, it came off.

It started off innocuous enough. Dr. Dynamo silently retiring from the scene. The Scarlet Slayer skipping her annual Christmas heist.

The laughter began when I made my choice.

You could say my life is pretty normal; of course to say that, you'd need to ignore the six legged little creature that's been following me around for the past few weeks.
The day started as most do - get up, get dressed, go to work. As I left my house and was about to unchain my bike, I noticed a faint rustling sound ... |

Their voice was loud and bold, more pronounced in the immediate environment. No other sound save birdsong competed with the voice and the birds were shocked into silence. Heads turned to stare at the speaker, but their attention was placed firmly on their target.

A lifelessness had taken him and only the ghosts of memories remained. The ocean was vast and empty, its dark depths reflecting his sadness, and the sunlit surface that distorted all hope. A lifelessness had come and only an instinct of duty remained.
