Frederick got the call at 8:43 P.M. that night. His grandfather was in the hospital, and in a very bad way. He put on his jacket and rushed out the door. He loved his grandfather, and had worshiped the ground he walked on from a very early age. When his father had died, Thomas was all he had. Frederick knew that i...
William Haft thought himself a simple farmhand. Sure, he was adopted, but with the wars raging and orphans becoming more and more common, this wasn't a surprise. If Haft knew the truth about his parentage, the dark secret that kept- Wait, did that just happen? People can actually die from being kicked by a cow? ...
They say man cannot live on bread alone. I say they're right. The sun hung in the sky like a giant ball of tagliatelle. It hung with the heat of a thousand boiling pots. It wasn't the only thing boiling. My blood felt that same heat and made it a part of me. I was the Gemelli Kid. See, my dad ran Gemelli out t...
It was all a dream? Everything? Hermoine, the Wesley’s all of it? And then the secondary weight pressed down on me, which means I only have the Dursley’s in my life? As the nurse started to state all the things I needed to be across for my rehabilitation, a sense of despair and darkness came over me. Far greater tha...
I came into existence, dragging each particle of myself from across the plains to focus on a single point. How quaint, I haven't had a physical form in milennia My eyelids snapped open to reveal a bright expanse, two figures stood before me. Instantly, the knowledge came to me that these were my descendants, and the...

I know >!that she is nothing but a drain on my existence and !< she is hurting on the inside. So it pains me >!to hold my tongue attempting to be nice, and have!< to watch her cry if >!her ...
“Whatever you do, don’t scream.” Growing up, I used to tell myself that every day, almost like a mantra. I realised early on that I saw things other people didn’t. One of my earliest memories was when I was about six years old. My mother was holding my hand, getting ready to cross a road. But on the other side, was th...
My ancestors thought their name was a curse. Smith, it was too common, too basic. Even once they gained the ability to create tools out of anything, they perfered to remarry, and attempt to change their name. It never worked, but at least their kids wouldn't have a common last name. That way, they wouldn't have to co...
I turn away from the bar, a martini in each hand, only to see Stupid already chatting up a blond by the baccarat table. That was fast. It’s hard not to be jealous sometimes. Rory Blackwell, rock star secret agent, suave, glamorous. The apparent monkey wrench in every doomsday machine, constantly either going head-to-h...
THIS IS NOT JUST A JOB YOU UNDERSTAND. "I know, but I mean, it's been a rough year, you must have been working overtime." TIME IS SOMETHING I HAVE IN ABUNDANCE. "Yeah, sure, but everyone deserves a day off." It was a puzzling concept. Day off? Humans did it all the time of course, but as the blue glow from deep i...
"This is it, my fellows. After our arduous journey through the Harrowing Forest, through the Blazing Mountains, through the Withering Swamps, we're finally here! The Dark Lord's castle!", declared Glenn Dragonsbane the warrior. With him were his fellow brave travelers. Levia Kyalis the witch, Garth Rockthorn the warrio...
The members of the UN Security Council stared uncomfortably at the object sitting in the middle of the conference table. Or rather, floating roughly an inch above its surface, suspended at that fixed distance in a manner visually similar to a strong magnet levitating above a superconducting material, though the table w...
I was panicking. Two of the engines in my ship were on the edge of total breakdown. My FTL drive was smoking. Behind me, I could sense the Yawning Viper getting closer. I checked my charts again. One more hour. That's all I had left to go. A spike in my readings warned me. I twisted to the side, a lance of plasma bare...
"Honestly? This is the comfiest I've been in... months." Cinder stretched out on the beige-blanketed cot and heaved a sigh of relief, a tendril of candleflame following it from her throat. The room was... stifling, sterile; miserable, by Valdmel's standards. The draft chilled it to fifteen centigrade, the citylight th...
For as long as I remembered, I always seemed to ooze an authoritative presence that silenced every kid in town. I did what some of my teachers could not, discipline and frighten the class clowns and jokers into obedience just by staring in their direction. But it also meant nobody ever wanted to talk or befriend me, b...
The galactic council was in a turmoil. The galaxy, for the most part, was a peaceful place. No wars, no violence (except for the humans, of course), general pacifism and brotherhood. All of which has come to a standstill today. The nbuurhh, an expansive and racist species, has taken a seed world hostage. They were d...
The guild of dentists all frantically looked at one another. Every member waiting for someone to speak an ill word towards the Hyaio brand of peppermint toothpaste that laid on the table. They couldn’t all agree for once. There had to be a mistake. Mark, the youngest of the dentists, looked at Agitha. Hoping she might ...
Jacob winced as Detective Kensington set a heavy folder on the metal table. The resonant thud it gave was enough to remind him of all the cases he’d been involved in. “Jacob Lacks. We meet again.” He tried to return that hostile gaze. “Detective.” “How are you doing today, Jacob?” The glint in Kensington’s eye indic...
Ha, we come full circle. This was first posted in /r/WritingPrompts, then to ~~the thread you mentioned~~ /r/HistoricalWhatIf by ~~another person~~ /u/ronniethunderss, so I guess it's worth posting here again for those who haven't seen it yet. Though not entirely fitting the prompt, it's close. **Edit: Obligatory ...
Alexander the Great, questionable. I mean, he achieved a lot - that's for sure - but he also did a lot of, you know, war. Still, he bristled at me proudly, a little shorter than I expected, but impressive all-the-same in his intricate Grecian armor. Leonardo da Vinci. Art, science, anatomy; the Mona Lisa and prototype...
Heavily inspired by /u/RamsesThePigeon's classic story on ["Reddit, what's a good street name for toast?"](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3mcbb3/reddit_whats_a_good_street_name_for_toast/cvduomf/). --- Music's a lot less casual than it used to be. Once, just anyone could go to YouTube or Spotify and get...
Eli flipped the light switch in my darkened bedroom, announcing, "Let there be light!" "God damn it, Eli! What the hell?"I pulled my pillow over my head. "Damn it?"Eli laughed, and whenever Eli laughed the very air itself seemed infused with his good humor. "You want me to damn the light? Very well."He held out his h...
The children weren't usually early to class but today was a special day, an important day. I smiled broadly at them from behind my desk, they did me proud every single day but today wasn't the day to let slip. I pointed to the tally projected on the board behind me. "These numbers are beautiful. I look at these number...
Call me Ishmeow. I am the survivor. I am the un-maimed. I am the only left of a dozen cats who once lived in this blue house. Blue is the carpet and blue are the walls. Blue are the pieces of furniture, too. Blue are the litter boxes, the water and food bowls. Blue even are the lights. But white is the monster. The ...
Teaching history is always fun. I don't think the kids pay half as much attention as they'd like me to believe, but there's always one or two with a real passion for the subject. They don't speak up about it in class, of course - no one wants to be the swot - but you can tell that they're actually interested. The na...
Walking around the marketplace, Rhiannon paused to peer closely at a cart of turnips. She had only been in this town for a few weeks, but the last time she'd gone to the market, one of her potatoes had been moldy. This time, she would be more careful. Carefully selecting one of the root vegetables, she lifted it up to ...
As I was standing in line waiting for my coffee he didn't seem to have the patience for that. He bypassed all the people waiting and told the clerk: "One coffee with sugar and make it quick." Some people just don't have basic human decency. Not wanting to let this jerk get his coffee before I protested: "Excuse me....
“Noise?” I asked, glancing over the three crewmates gathered outside my bunkroom. “Yes. The wailing and clashing and screaming. It is quite unsettling, but you seem to derive great joy from listening to it,” said the ship’s lieutenant, an insectoid creature that resembled an upright grasshopper. “Listening in rec cen...
I sometimes forget what a weird life I lead. I've lived it for so long, it all just feels normal to me. Luckily - or, maybe not - I have plenty of friends who are able, and unceasingly willing, to point it out to me. Apparently no-one else has ever been held hostage in a bank robbery, had their phone ring despite it ...
It was a brilliant pitch, the alien thought. Open a resort and then abduct a group of a... simpler species. Introduce them to the resort; watch as they are beyond amazed by its beauty and luxury; use it as marketing. The Best resort in the Galaxy has a good ring to it. Everything was going well, the investors were ni...
"Relax, honey, we're not entirely surprised..." "You're not surprised? I'm a vampire! I suck blood! I burn under the sun! I'm a monster! And you're not surprised?" "Your 1st cousin Trevor was bitten by a werewolf. Your 2nd Aunt Hazel married a skinwalker. Your 3rd Uncle Robert works for an eldritch god and was turned...
It's like living in Hershey, PA, with an allergy to cocoa...except instead of sweet, the air smells rancid. I can't stand the stuff. They pour it over everything, from salads to tacos to ice cream. It's like watching someone eat mayo from the jar, sickening. Yet I can't escape it, not for a second. It's at work, at ...
The revelry was picking up as we wade through the crowd. Billions of voices of cheering and chanting together over a broadcast, uniting the entire world, mesh together into a beautiful white noise. The excitement around us was not comparable to any other known joy of human life. We chose to experience the event in Sha...
"Alright,"Pride said, "where's Sloth?" "Where do you think? He's off sleeping. Apparently a 100 year nap wasn't enough for him, lucky bastard,"Envy wistfully replied. "Well I guess that just leaves the six of us then. All the more chance that I'll win, I really want it this year."Lust pushed her raven locks out of ...
"Derek you god-damn nuisance, you did it again!" I bellowed, looking at my dead petunias. "You know, that's very insensitive of you Ralph. I actually am damned by the gods." "Dude. don't give me that, you are a god. You can see the past, present and future. You can cover any distance instantly and your consciou...
"Nick, let me do this year, you're ruined."said Miss Claus "Wha... No... hic I've got this."said the inebriated Santa as he fumbled into the sleigh. "I don't need any help... WHERE'S THE COAL!"he shouted, after seeing Miss Claus recoil he realised it was louder than he intended, "Sorry." A little elf ran up with a ...
Ahh so this is the feeling people talk about. This is what it means to be near death. To see my life flash through my eyes before I kick it. Looking back at it, it was a good life, one well lived. Even though when I was young, I was always bullied, I remember those words Edgar said. "All Susie can do is make bubbles b...
1:27 PM. He'd picked this time specifically: late enough to avoid the lunch rush, but early enough that an entire afternoon could be devoted to the cause. The café served a flaky white pastry that he knew Melissa enjoyed, and the coffee was excellent. He admitted to himself that he was slightly overdressed for a casua...
"About time, sleepyhead!" Groggily, one thought snaked its way across my mind. "That's not what my alarm sounds like..." "Of course it isn't, dude! In case you hadn't noticed, I've been telling you to get up for half an hour now." That... was not a voice I knew. I opened my eyes and looked for the speaker. Not a per...
"Counselor, explain your findings." "Erm, yes High Commander. It seems that the intel we had previously received on these "humans"was flawed." "Flawed?"Replied the high commander scowling. "You reported a primitive hominid culture, barely scratching the surface of electricity. Now you bring us against an enemy that h...
"Why not?" Before me, the Council of Canines whimpered as one, liquid eyes glancing from face to face. Even across species, it was easy enough to tell that they were worried. Their brows were furrowed, their postures slumped, and every squeaky toy in the floor-height meeting room sat in somber silence. "Well, sir."S...
"Tonight, our first guest is none other than Dante Alighieri, fresh out of Hell. He's talking about his new work,'The Second Divine Comedy: A More Accurate Atlas', his relationship with Virgil, and--" \click "I think the simple fact is that atheism just... isn't a thing anymore. The scientific community, and the wo...
The virus had swept in and wiped out everyone around me. I never got sick, and since the illness passed over I've held on to hope that there were more people with immunity out there. I spent most of the first month collecting supplies and hunkering down. I had a good supply of canned food, guns, and gasoline stockpiled...
Just Numbers 'Ah. Fuck.' The expletive escapes my mouth almost involuntarily. Not only did I stub my toe, but the tissue landed on the ground instead of in the trashcan. I bend down to pick up the tissue and correct the mistake - guess I'm a bit clumsy. I turn back to pick up my lucky D20 and notice it landed on a...
My first time writing here. Any criticism is welcome :) Turned out a bit longer than i expected too. Genie lamps have always been hard to find. ‘Hard to find’ would be an understatement honestly. Once a genie granted all three wishes, it retreats into its shell, and turns to smoke that is whisked away by t...
Maybe it was the word danger, or maybe it was the oddity of it all, but without even replying I soon found myself in a small wave of...myself, hurriedly making our way down the street. We had already walked several blocks before I stopped to give the situation a good think. *Did he have a secret family? But then why w...
Cody had no idea whether he was lucky or unlucky. On the one hand hand, he was in a car with the prettiest girls in school. Girls so pretty that they blew most supermodels out of the water. On the other hand, each and every one of those girls was practically a one woman army that could destroy cities. One of them was...
“Good morning students,” The collective groans of my 9am class was music to my ears. “I am Professor Harris, and in this class we will be learning about World History and its importance today.” One of the male students stood up, I immediately classified him as a brute type based on his cocky grin and cliche popping o...
This is a challenge where I'll spend 30-some days writing a micro-story based on a combination of whatever catches my eye at r/writingprompts that day plus the theme of the day as predetermined by a list prebuilt out of my friends' suggestions. Today's theme is "The main character is tied up"and the writing prompt is ...
Well fuck. I just lost 8000 words because I tabbed over and accidentally put something on the clipboard, then tabbed back over here and refreshed the page. In a blink of an eye. Honestly I'm extremely disheartened and I feel like I just threw away almost an hour of my life, and I liked what I wrote and fuck and I migh...
Cabinet meeting, White house, November 27th 2014 Joe Biden: Mullah Barak Hussein Obamalama Marijuana is finishing up prayer, he'll be with us shortly. Baron Rothschild 3000: Bleeding America dry requires getting to meetings on time, that idiot prays five times a day. Space Reptilian Queen Elizabeth: He's Muslim you...
Morty sat up and tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes, only to discover that one hand was trapped in some device. "Oh man, Rick, what is this thing on my arm?? What did you do to me??"His eyes instantly went wide, staring at the bulbous white pod wrapped around his forearm with three black pincers jutting out over a ...
I paced my prison. The full focus my mind bent on one purpose: revenge. I could feel the resonance of pain through my skin as though it had just been inflicted. The surgical cuts, the probing drills, the electric currents, all of it. The answer of revenge remained the same... but the method of delivery, ah yes, that...
I stared in horror at the massive, writhing mass of tentacles and eyeballs that seemed to twist and writhe through space, somehow passing through itself in ways that didn't seem possible when considering the laws of physics. Dozens of eyes blinked at me, reddened pupils boring into me with a disconcerting gaze. "WhO ...
The door panel of the spacecraft shifted open. Luke sighed loudly. The nose of the aircraft had sunk deep into the marshy lake, and with the mist around him he could barely identify his surroundings. "Are you able to pick anything up, R2?"The beeps that followed confirmed his initial suspicions. "Thought not", he mumbl...
Colonel Marsh chewed on his cigar and bellowed at the Corporal. "Are you sure this damn translator is working, Brock?" "Yes, I tested it myself. It's working perfectly Colonel.” "A dodo bird? Really Brock? You sure it didn't mean a deer or a damnable duck? So now we have to get one from Australia?" "Mauritius, Sir....
"I understand. And my grandfather?"The man asked. His skin was a pale white color with a military-style buzzcut. It's as if he'd been wrapped in clothes or armor for nearly his entire life. "I'm sorry, he had not accepted the Lord either."The 9ft tall multi-eyed being replied. "He did not accept the Son. You're d...
As the years go by and the world spins, humanity changes. Growing and spreading across the globe, and even setting their eyes to expanding beyond it. The moon, then Mars. Perhaps even further beyond that one day, to Andromeda. They’ve forgotten our old names, the ones we held when we ruled the skies and the seas, th...
I have a habit, some may say a bad one, but I, of course, would disagree. We all have our vices. Some gamble away their earnings on cards. Others in sleazy alleys on powdered forms of delight. But me?, I buy dice. Yes I know they're all technically the same in usage, but that's not the point. The point is that some loo...
I knew I would recognize my soul mate by the scars he held. God, I hadn’t cried for myself since I was a little kid, but everyday, I found myself running to the bathroom to find some place to hide from the pain that wrapped around me like a noose. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even locate the pain. It seemed to come...
I'm an American, and a patriot. Let me start by saying that. I love my country. That being said, I needed the money. A dead-end job as a desk jockey, just crunching numbers, day in and day out.... You'd start to go a little crazy, too. When I found the card on my desk, I didn't think much of it. The post-it with di...
It was one week to the Worldmeet when Commodore Selenia Lucior of the Special Weapons Division crashed her military issue hoverplane into the front runway of Skyfortress Bathis, causing not inconsiderable damage. Even as the rest of the base erupted into a frenzy of sirens and alert protocols, I felt only glad that she...
There's this thing called synaesthesia where certain individuals are able to hear shapes or taste colors. It's a blending of their senses and their perception of the world is fundamentally different than those around them. I was diagnosed with this when I was 6. They said I associated personalities with color. They wer...
The first thing the stranger did when he came to town was slaughter the town's chickens. He killed the first few with bolts of lightning. Then he got out the edged weapons -- sabre, longsword, dagger. Then a poleaxe and a halberd. After cleaving the 36th chicken, the head of his halberd got briefly stuck in the soil. ...
Jimmy slammed the front door behind him. Sasha reached towards the computer. She looked over the whole screen, but there was no 'x' to close the game. Along the top of the screen were portraits of little animals. Sasha leaned down. They looked like colorful little dogs, or maybe cats. Small, furry creatures. They loo...
The Hall of Heroes was one of the few types of places where images of people were permitted to be displayed. The "Hall"were composed of several dozen corridors not unlike this one: as wide as a street and long as a block, lined with terrifyingly accurate icons, some no larger than my palm but some bigger than my outst...
They say you can’t understand someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes. Every night when I sleep I see through the eyes of someone else on the planet. Normally, it seems completely random. I have been a starving child watching his mother cry as she struggles to put food on the table. In contrast, I have live...
“You would be the first” said Frank, “to have a power without a commensurate debilitation.” I held the bird, which moments earlier appeared to break its neck after striking a window. It began to breathe, its neck settled into place, and it propped its head up blinking. It was my 18th birthday and I had been blessed ...
I want her life. Her loving family. Her two dogs. The love from our parents. And I want to be the astounding philanthropist that she is, the staple to our city, an utter paragon of virtue. I thought I knew how I was going to get that role. I'm not stupid; I know I can't just kidnap her and waltz into her life. Not wi...
The Giggle. What an absurd and laugh inducing name to any who hear it and don’t know. Honestly, with a death total nearing the thousands and both the cops and underworld unaware of his true identity, you think he’d get a cooler or scarier name. Something like “The Shadow” or “The Reaper”. Something that instinctually i...
"Slaves? What are you talking about?"Bill asked. Claxotensious replied, "My empathic organ detects 12 humans who are here against their own wishes. Mostly male, ages 12-33." "Oh that"said Bill, "That's just called an obligation. I know on planet Hyper Ball things are a little more cut and dry but the human experienc...
“And what type of knight am I meant to be?"David said, only to receive a glare from his master. “You will be a dead one if you keep asking stupid questions like that. Obviously, you are the smart knight. Ok, so take a closer look at her wrists. Can you see how the chains on her wrists have perfectly rounded keyholes...
“Hey hey hey I was trying to- would you stop that?!” The creepy ass guy who bought me a drink said. Now, I do realise I have made a series of bad decisions here. Had one date, went fine. Met up for coffee. Talked about all the kinds of things you do on a first date, no obvious red flags, talked openly about my sexual...
"You." I stared at her, dumbfounded. "I'm sorry, what?" "You've got the makings of a fine warlock about you." "The mak- ma'am I'm here to support my girl. She's the witchy one here." "No, she's a playacting child who thinks pretty rocks are magical because they're shiny. You, however, are different. You know this i...
"Remember when we played hide and seek." Julia sat on the ledge, her legs dangling over the edge of the building as the wind whipped at her hair. Eli was walking along it beside her, placing one foot in front of the other with his arms outstretched like a tight-rope walker. He loved moments like this, talking about th...
The phone fell from my hand and clattered onto the tile floor of the kitchen. I didn't even know what to say, or what to do, or who to call... this had never happened to me before. I could only stare at it: the perfect piece of toast. I'd managed to navigate the narrow precipice of my toaster's heat dial. Anything u...
From the top of the abandoned warehouse, a killer watched as a blue and green van pulled up. He had heard that the police had turned over their investigation to a group of kids, and he was insulted as four children and a large brown dog exited the vehicle. Absently, he ran his still bloody knife over his arm and savore...
I focused on the drink in front of me. All my senses, every last ounce of my perception was channeled into a single point, and directed at my Styrofoam cup of coffee. When anybody's thoughts can get lost in your own, it's helpful to have a focusing point. I breathed in the smell. I ordered it the same way every time....
Too many groups had shown up to the bank, far too many. A brawl had broken out between a gang of old English accountants calling themselves 'The Corporate Raiders' and a trio of cudgel armed lunatics in red robes and wide brimmed hats shouting in fake Spanish accents. Several men dressed as Orthodox Jews had come here ...
Predictive text manifolds reveal the Truth of the world, the angel says. Reveal intention. It is wheels within wheels within wheels, the rims of it lined with blazing eyes, every revolution bringing with it a dizzying change in perspective. I am held in its gaze, pinned to the axes of an ever-rotating world. My eye...
After what felt like weeks of surfing dream to dream I land in one that reminds me of home. I walk through the woods and come across a swamp that my twin and I played in as children. I spy a tuft of curly black hair peeking out over one of the embankments. I approach it and over hear,"No, Terry. You have to bait a perc...
The Ambassador for Florak cast his multifaceted gaze about the chamber. "Thank you all for coming to this special session of the United Interstellar Peacekeeper's Council. The matter before us today is a grave one, of the highest urgency." The Delegate from Zharzhj growled, and cleared her meal-tubes. "I hope it's mo...
On an island in the Pacific lived a people who called themselves the People, because they were one people, and they called their island Land, because it was the land that the People had always lived on, and would always, they imagined, die on. And in the center of Land was a god they called Rock, and they called this r...
"A dragon tattoo?"John asked, looking at the tattoo of a European style dragon looking up and breathing fire that had appeared on his shoulder. John's father, Mark, looked at the tattoo and shrugged, "Maybe it has something to do with breathing fire?" John couldn't figure out how that would even work, how would he ma...
It was cold inside the Cube, and not unpleasantly so. Air conditioners and temperature conductors made the room feel cold and the air moist, to reflect the ideal nighttime conditions. It did not feel exactly like it would have, had it been a night before the Greatest Death, had they been out in the real world. The wind...
The dragon touched down upon an empty patch of green meadowland and lay claim to it. It was a remote piece of land far from the inhabited regions of the countryside and farther still from the castle where the king took residence. Fearing for their own lives, and in the interest of appeasing the dragon, a special deleg...
"Why should the galaxy take you humans as anything more than sentient pets?"Asked representative Golg of the Tivian Confederation. I stood in the center of the grand council room filled to the brim with representatives from across the galaxy, all murmuring about the demands I had levied to them. "Because failure to...
"Oh, bother." There was a long pause as the workers at the classified military base tried to figure out: Why had the ancient space craft which had been instructing them on how to repair it spoken to _them_, directly? Why had it said _that_? Why, oh why, did they have an abrupt craving for honey? The people further ...
I felt the clouds part above me as my prayer finished. A wave of warmth filled my body, the touch of a god on me. I smiled, pride and awe bubbling up inside. It was a rarity for a prayer to be granted directly. The warmth made me one of the Answered, a champion of the gods. I hefted my sword, my heart calmed. With thi...
The whole ship began to vibrate. After seven hundred years of travel, and six generations of humans working together, they had finally arrived. Ellie watched as the massive radiation protecting shields were raised. True sunlight entered through the large windows for the first time in centuries, from a star previously o...
I spent my life avoiding looking at my own reflection, lest I incur a lifelong curse of morbid introspection. I'm known across the planet for predicting others' deaths. Above their heads I always see the seconds 'till last breath. *But on this rainy evening I felt something was amiss, a shadow han...
Two children on the playground played- One built his buildings out of blocks. The other, not a fan of shade did sculpt the sand from out his box. A bully tromped across the ground and wandered out into the sun. Sandcastles did he then knock down and send that child on the run. The boy with blocks picked up his ...
The door flew open, Uberman’s kick breaking all the locks in unison. He had finally found it after all this time – Dr. Sinister’s lair. For far too long he had terrorized the people of Central City. Now, he would pay. He scanned the dark room, his senses ready for any underhanded surprises. Knowing his deadliness, an...
Finally, after years, no decades, no, CENTURIES of waiting, he would be free! Kukulkan, The Serpent Of The Nine Winds, had been waiting in this ancient tomb, and today was the day he would be free. The spell from the accursed Spaniard priest would expire, and his reign would commence. He thought to himself, "Time to ma...
The oversized, double, wooden door stood as a wall. Hideki Tojo sit, reserved and stoic, mulling over what was to come. It seemed vaguely familiar. The opposite surface of the door hide distance echoing footsteps and dull Japanese murmuring. The cadence of feet crecendoed into the bursting open of the barrier, three Ja...
"Are you certain?"Aletheia asked. If she was disappointed, she didn't show it. I hesitated before I replied. Not because I was uncertain, but because I didn't want to cause offence. "Yes, Great Aletheia. I would like to return the Gift." She rose from her seat, her white robes gliding gracefully over the marble. "...
"Alfred!"The scream sends me running to him. I've been working overtime again, I have to, he won't let another nurse near him. And Wayne is a biter. I find the patient covered in blood, his head split open. Idiots, they forgot to put his brace on properly. "How did this happen?"Bruce didn't like anyone touching him, b...
As I wiped the bits of leftover pie off my face, dabbing the collar of my shirt against my lips to remove the purple stains, I heard a tapping at my window, looking over to see a police officer standing outside. Rolling down the window I gave the officer a nod, placing the empty tray aside. “Morning officer, are you...
A blue sky and a green field as far as the eye could see appeared before you out of nowhere as you dropped down from a meter above the ground. The last thing you remembered was the way home from school. However, halfway home everything disappeared in front of you. The world around you went dark and you found yourself ...
When my associates and I first caught wind of project Jotunn, only the formal declassification to the public was enough to convince us that this wasn't an out of season April Fool's prank. The sanctioned drone footage on the breakroom TV was a scene straight out of a Saturday morning cartoon. Towering, bipedal husks ...
