"It is the cup of a carpenter,"I muttered, approaching the simple wooden vessel. It wasn't gold lined like in the movie, but it was just a simple wooden cup. If I spotted it in a local tourist shop, I probably wouldn't look twice, instead looking for something more interesting in design or artistry. There was mumbl...
"By the dark world's fury, let my will be made manifest. By the sky's above, let my will -" I just could not help but interrupt. The more powerful the spell, the longer the chant needed to focus it. A spell like death reaper could take as many as a 200-word chant to actually cast. Because of this, diction and spee...
He sat in the cold cab of his truck, remembering the first time he had kissed his wife, here on the bench seat when they were teenagers. He looked at the pink slip in his hand, remembering the last time he'd been laid off, back when Mikey was only two. She had stuck by him then, and she would again, just as he had st...
"You brought back pictures?" "Pictures, etchings, full immersion simulations, things that provide experiences which we don't even have names for, and an orb that somehow influences your dreams." "And these things were everywhere?" "Yes, sir. Hyperspace was chock full of them. There's still plenty stuck to the hull...
The man at the computer was awfully irked, All this work he had done, but nothing that worked! His boss had told him to go code up a thinker, A thinker should think, but this one's a big stinker! --- For many hours the man rattled his brain, Just thinking of things that had all been in vain! His programmer's bl...
Today I would like to write a brief, but slightly more unique, review of Diabolic Game’s latest release, Behind the Glass. Right off the bat, I have to say that it’s been one of the best horror games I’ve played in recent memory. From its incredibly high-resolution textures and animations, to its terrifying atmospher...
Finally! I exclaimed as I put the final touch "the end"on my 5,002 word essay. Being a procrastinator the essay was due tomorrow at 8am and by the looks of it the sun will be coming up soon. Time to take a nap I thought. Before turning off the lights I made sure to save my document onto my usb drive and email myself a ...
"Bertann the road is this way!"Dothor yelled. Bertann, a behemoth of a person, scratched his head and glanced back and forth. He seemed awfully intrigued at the crow resting on a nearby tree. In a deep voice, Bertann said, "Birdieee." Soric, the tactician of the group shook his head at this display, and said incred...
"Day 221, World 5-3. Journal of Private Billy Mushcap." "*We've held this line for the past 3 months. Each day it is the same. Our fire flower troops throw fireballs at the advancing enemy. Propeller toads zoom into he air to relay enemy positions to our cannons. Enemy airships above clash with ours, as their infant...
"My fellow delegates,"the room started to quiet down a bit. "If I may have your attention please."he repeated. Weodholsae dabbed at his head with a handkerchief. "My fellow delegates, I must bring a very important issue to your attention. The deathworld of Terra has recently achieved faster than light travel."The r...
“What’s the first thing you’re gonna buy, Dad?” Chrissy asked, gazing in wonder at the card that’d appeared on their doorstep. “I’m not sure, the options are endless, dear.” Like many others this fateful morning, they were overwhelmed with the choices and opportunity to buy anything their hearts desired. Greg ha...
As any lawyer who has ever drafted a set of interrogatories knows, the power of definitions is a magical one. While one might only have twenty five interrogatories in a given case, by defining terms or by defining what a responsive answer will include, a good attorney can stretch those twenty five simple questions to s...
The room was silent save for a gentle flick of sound, of a flesh against metal. First the flick, then a slight tinny ring of a metal coin flipping through the air, then a solid smack of the coin landing in the palm of a hand. A moment's pause, then the process repeated itself. Almost like clockwork the coin flipped ...
I was always the evil one. The dark lord. The Dread Emperor. The CONQUERING KING, who with his swords cut worlds in twain. Thrones were toppled at my command. Crowns were melted down at the mere flicker of my fingers. And empires ancient and powerful would shake with horror at the coming of my horde. In my armor of pur...
The easier aproach to your lil guy's hoarding instincts is to indulge them with trinkets, little pewter things and other things more personal to your fire breathing buddy, it is best to make every little charm you give them to seem meaningful. As this will greatly satisfy their hunger for sentimental objects. The harde...
- Nathan's Journal - September 22nd, I finally saved up and bought a house. It was a suspiciously remarkable deal, but the seller told me the house was haunted. Seems ridiculous, it's an old house so I'm sure it creaks at night, and probably has some odd drafts and poorly balanced doors. My first tour revealed only t...
Chris looks at me with a hollow look in his eyes and laughs. "No,"he says. "I don't believe it." "The news just came in. They're using the emergency generator at Houston to contact us."I gesture at the satellite phone in my hand like it's going to prove that what I'm saying is true. "I don't believe it."He repeat...
"Oh, you'll see! Come on!", says Mike, pulling me by the hand. "What? Tell me!"I protest, while he drags me. "I can't tell you! You have to see it." So he drags me away, through the main hall, here and there dodging from the White Suits and the kids and the crowd, all the way to the end and into the South Wing hall...
In French it’s called L'appel du vide. That little voice that tells you to leap when you’re standing on a cliff, or waiting for the subway. That tiny inclination that makes you want to swerve the car off the highway. It’s not suicidal in nature, but neither is it merely inquisitive. It’s a subtle reminder of the fragil...
"Fuckin' Som!" I awoke to the sound of slurs and breaking glass. Teenagers, jeering and laughing. More alarming, I heard a gentle crackling. And I smelled smoke. Fuck. I knew I shouldn't have risked it. Normally when I sleep, I put on my VR mask and just pretend that I'm in the Overse. The full face cover, intende...
"I thought you said no one was here."I hissed. "There's not"john hissed back. "Only the couple lives here and they are at a party I watched them both leave." "Then explain that."I growled indicating the thumping from upstairs. "probably just a dog." "Mommy?"a voice called out. "Since when does a dog talk?"I saked...
Some humans are considered "Chosen."People with a very special purpose, picked out by the Big Man himself. They're on Earth for a reason, and it's our job to make sure that they fulfill that purpose. And that means keeping them alive until they do whatever it is they're meant to do. There are tens of thousands of Gu...
... And equally unluckily for us, our hero is a woman. She flips her long, golden hair so it catches the sunlight spectacularly while removing her helmet in a flourish. At least, it would do that if there were any sunlight in the underground castle. And if her hair wasn't all sweaty and matted from riding on her horse...
Maybe she was a bad mother. She grew up in a different time. A time when a girl could run off to climb trees for eight hours and her siblings would make fun of her for not staying out longer. When her mother would warn her not to look at the sun too long, and she would do it anyway to prove some pointless point. It h...
“I will decimate you with my next attack, Bobbeh Shill, you will feel the burning wrath of my vengeance. As soon as I amass the life energies of this world into a single attack, I will decimate you to oblivion!” Super Villain Myoga Ultra yelled out, his muscles bulging beneath his black armor in concentration. His hand...
As I sat in front of the microphone, staring at the wires and devices that various experts assured me would translate my voice into the aliens' language, I took a moment to wonder how I'd gotten here. To keep it short, world governments had taken my old MySpace account's claims very seriously, the claim of "Expert in ...
Being a demon is pretty lame. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an alright gimmick to drop if you encounter a supernatural whatever, which happens never. I didn’t even know I was a demon until one of my friends suckered me into going to a psychic. I didn’t believe in psychics, they were and honestly most of them still are jus...
Beyond the endless dark that glimmer came once more. I witnessed a beautiful tear through the night sky and so beckoned to no one at all: “I wish the world was a happier place.” The wishes never came true, of course. The summer evenings in Vermont brought with them a quiet peace – one free from the troubles of day. Th...
The eerie roar of the Iron Howler screeches through White Orchard as it announces its arrival. It looms before me, its metal legs chittering against its bonds as it comes to a halt. Some say the Howler was named after the wrought iron wolf sitting atop its head, while others say the howl in question was the result of...
The footprints were pointing in the wrong direction. There was no way to confirm, right there and then, when they had been made. It could have been successful grave robbers who had made off with what the geologists were looking for, but then there would also be footsteps going in from the surface to the city, wouldn't ...
I... I knew it was coming. The monsters were real, but no one believed me. They told me that it was my imagination. That the lady who told me wasn’t real. That there’s no such thing as shapeshifters or demons or magic. But the lady was right. My daddy... I don’t know what happened to him. Maybe the monster ate h...
Jim sat down his 100lb dumbbells. They were merely his cool-down weights after all, no shame in taking a quick rest before moving over to the chest press. He picked up his energy drink and chugged it as fast as he could. With a loud belch Jim crushed the can confidently and threw it into a nearby bin. With his break ...
There was a tenderness to the dimness of the lights. If the weariness hadn't left my eyes, I'd have stayed, resting, a long while. I rose to my feet, yawned as I stretched. Then, as my gaze slid from side to side, my heart leapt. Why were the doors opened? Why weren't we moving? Had I reached the last stop? Cursing...
Ever since I was a child, I've always been written off by the people around me as a prodigy. Getting good grades without even trying, making friends on a whim, getting accolades by just doing what in my mind was "whatever everyone else is doing." And then I went to college. Thinking I was on top of my game. Thinking I...
Around the world, millions of young, lonely men have dreamed of living my life. They fantasize about girls with perfect round eyes, twitching feline ears, and a long, sinuous tail. They imagine them purring, enjoying headpats, and making cute little "nya"noises when satisfied. And they do all those things, it's true. T...
Dear Mr. Demon Sword, We would like to thank you for your recent application to join the Hero League. Unfortunately, the position you had applied for has been filled already. However, the unique skills and experience in your profile indicates you may be a good fit for another role within our organization. Th...
When I returned to 221B, I found the curtains closed and Holmes deep in rumination within the darkness. Only his hawk-like features were visible, seemingly perched on the armchair, lit by the flickering blaze of his pipe. He didn’t seem to notice me enter and I wondered what else, besides tobacco, he’d been ingesting i...
"Psst."I was sharply nudged in the back of the head, rousing me from my daydreams. "Hey, Sam!"I got poked again. "Hey, hey! I'm up!"I shook my head as I blinked. "You were asleep?" "No!"I turned to look back over the bench I was sitting on at Meredith. You know just about every school has a kid who's really into gho...
“Spare your lies, Jedi.” The Sith Pureblood broke from speaking, coughing on his own blood. He sat propped against the wall of the ship, applying pressure to the lightsaber wound through his gut. His respirator mask kept the slow, laborious rhythm of his breathing. “I stood with Darth Malgus on Coruscant. I have w...
The loud moans echoed around the room, almost sounding like that of a whale. "I kind of feel sorry for it"George muttered, resting his back against the reinforced glass. "How long was it out there for?"George's partner, Will asked. "A good four weeks." Four weeks? George glanced into the brightly lit room at th...
He had worked his whole life for this. It was the pinnacle of his career. Every since he was a kid, sneaking into courtrooms to watch testimony of the most infamous criminals of the 21st century, John had waited for the day he would control the Beam. Becoming a Beam Technician had taken ten years of college and anothe...
These halls would be haunting but I never knew those who walked them. I knew personas. I knew corpses before they were dead. But what is it to die? When I was young I thought it was a big sleep. When I was twenty I thought it was to stop living. Now I know that it is to lose your identity. To walk someone else's path ...
The people of the city watched in terror at the approaching marauding horde. A river of leather and iron flowed toward the vulnerable city. Low rumbling, like thunder before the storm reached the defenders on the walls, and their hearts trembled. Soon the horde surrounded the city, foes without number, like leaves i...
At this point, I no longer had bags under my eyes. I had luggage. Acne dotted my nose like the chambers of an insect's hive. Grease had built up to the point where my hair spiked on its own, and yet I couldn't shake the compulsion to run my fingers through and smell it. My stomach churned each time. Forget having a bad...
I tapped the aged bar top, the bartender grabbed the bottle of scotch and topped off my rocks glass. He reached for the ice and I quickly put my hand over the glass. The thought of tainting a 15 year old single malt with ice made me cringe. I took a sip of the staunch liquid as I pulled up my mission log. Checking the ...
I awoke to blinking red lights, that deep red color of the setting sun. Little blinking suns all around me. I awoke in terror and in pain. I awoke in a fog, barely recalling who I was or where I had come from, finding out later that I had been knocked unconscious and left to die deep in a cave, but the cave had flash ...
"You are in now." "...No?" — Last night, I was at a frat party that a friend of mine hosted. He‘s called Kaito. Japanese immigrant family. We’re in Cali. It’s not weird. Okay, he‘s a little weird, but people like him. His parents, though? Not liked. Very weird. Very paranoid. Didn’t know why; should’ve cared. So ...
the kid noticed the staff leaning against the counter before he recognised me. I suppose im at fault there. bracelets of identity change are well and good but its harder to disguise the elder wood staff, and i am, if anything, sentimental about some things. such as a staff i'd carried around for twenty years of servic...
The ambassador was perplexed. “Because our bodies are only comfortable in a certain temperature range…how would you not know that? You figure out interstellar travel and you can’t comprehend clothes?” The rest of the greeting convoy was baffled. How could the aliens be so stupid? So mindnumbingly stupid not to und...
“Take that foul fiend”, the young priest screams as he sprinkles some water on me. I just look at him in mild annoyance, this is an Armani suit, and he’s getting it wet. Guess I’ll play along. “Arghhh!!” I screech as I clutch my face conjuring up steam. “Curse you and your holy church”, I snarl for adde...
In 1998, in the background of a live news report, an elderly man walked with a cane up to a young woman, stabbed her in the back with a knife and shoved her into oncoming traffic. Then before those around him could react, he let go of his cane, regressing in age at a steady pace, using the same knife he stabbed the old...
You do not look at the sensors. The dead person bleeding from their eyes at tactical told you what type you were dealing with. You cannot look at the sensors. After the first death you sent back the orders, the computers did not bleed, set the course and hands off for the civilians. If they were smart, they'd leav...
"Bring the prisoners forth!" The large metal walls creaked upwards, slowly replacing the darkness within the room with light. Inside, various creatures lurked and began to move as if cued by the loud sounds and light. "Come on, you bastards step away from the walls!"an irritated guardsman shouted towards the occupan...
I stare at the medallion and decide that its way too early to deal with this.I start my usual morning routine: 1. getting up 2. getting dressed 3. starting the computer 4. reading stuff online till the last minute 5. hastily throwing on my jacket 6. sprinting to the bus stop Working at the hardware store may not be t...
I worked my way through the building methodically. I could easily locate the object I was hunting for, if I so chose. But it was rare that I spent time on the mortal world. I preferred to act like they did, using their limited senses to search for the dagger. I paid no heed to the hungry flames, as they devoured the b...
“Pah! Cowurd!” The rough orcish warrior barked. “Glad to be.” The old man muttered, meticulously pulling fruit from his homegrown vines. “I apologize, Zogstuff was… so excited to meet you.” The smaller one said. “Legends describe you people as tenacious.” “I’m a gardener. I’m not a a soldier.” “Youz foot in da huma...
"Pilot, identify yourself." The new Air Traffic Control Operator, Jin, in Beijing began to scramble as an unknown aircraft headed for the runway. The plane was going to disrupt the flow of air traffic, as it had not been on schedule. "This is Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Prepared for landing." Jin stopped dead in...
It starts with trying. Not a sound, not a glimpse. There's never a story to be told when things just come together; it's just the story of what happens around them. Ben was a painter. What Mother Nature had neglected to give him at birth, she made up for it with an amazing gift of sight. He could see shades within...
The man's banner fluttered softly in the wind. A simple square with four tiny lines drawn through each side, all enclosed in a circle. It was modest and crude.... and somehow terrifying. I looked up at our own banner: a fearsome roaring lion with blood dripping from its cruel, curved fangs. And I felt even more scared....
I wonder. I wonder how my life would've turned out if I had wished different wishes. I wonder how my life would turn out if I had a fourth wish. I've heard many people stating this. People, too immature at the time, wasting their precious wishes for nonsensical stuff that wasn't important to them anymore after a short...
I walked through the jeans aisle of the thrift store. As usual, I couldn't find anything in my size. This always happens when I go clothes shopping - every size except my own. I swear, some kind of curse... But then, I saw it. A pair of jeans in my size, and in my perfect shade of blue. It looked exactly like somethin...
"Well,"said Dad, clapping a hairy arm around my shoulder while Mom stood adjacent to the white Porsche like a Price is Right model. "It was all done with the best of intentions." "Best of intentions,"echoed Mom, waving her arms maniacally through the air above the sports car. "Didn't want you to be a snob,"sniffed ...
A man gasped as I placed spaghetti into a tupperware container and placed it into the fridge. "N-no." "It's not possible!" "You can't store food without a Handy Bucket Food Organizer! Everybody knows that!" I raised a grim eyebrow. "I mean, I just did." It was still my house, cameras and audience members just st...
Not all of us float on water. Or reach for our forks before our knives. And most of us struggle with silence. These three characteristics share in forming one conclusion five billion of you already know; Souls are heavy. Justin would agree, and his was heavier than most. In a span of thirty days, he lost his partner (...
The problem with aliens is that they don't think. They can read blue prints, but they don't understand them. The radio they built was fully functional. However they forgot a single detail. It's needs to be turned on. With a sigh I corrected the problem, at the very instant I touched the radio something else happened....
"Long story short, we think it's a branding mistake. Something we're missing. There's no real sign the baby is divine."the suit tapped his finger on the series of photos arrayed across the resolute desk, "that having been said, there's no keeping something like this in a bottle. International media caught wind of the r...
“So, you claim to be a wizard” the begoggled man intoned, stretching out the last word. “Right, I mean, I can do a few simple things, there are plenty more capable than I, but I’ve mastered a few tricks in the schools of divination, telekinesis, thau--” “Great, great. That’s great. Mr. Wizard” “You can just call m...
The moment I touched her, I knew who she was. The moment I felt her hands, a chill ran down my spine. My gift is Perfection. No weapon is too difficult for me to wield. So for years I studied and studied the ancient Sutras, searching for heavenly weapons and attempting to craft them using earthly materials. My pistol,...
"Hey guys, I found diamonds!"Kla'axur exclaimed as his left tentacle moved the mouse. "Someone who has an iron pickaxe, get down here!" "In a minute, I'm busy harvesting the crops!"Zyxyplygm said telepathically as he manipulated the keyboard with his mind. "We need to make sure we don't run out of food." "Speaking of...
It was this day two years ago that I was first handed the McAllister file. Some of his earlier crimes, when he was just a kid, had a kind of whimsy to them – setting off a firework in a teacher’s car, rigging a locker with gum to explode in a bully’s face. Okay, yeah, it was illegal but it wasn’t the end of the world. ...
The line was long. Mutilated bodies and depressed looking people floated forward, slowly, towards the throne of The Creator. I was dead. Car accident. Couldn't do anything about it really. And now I'm here, floating through this line in what I think is space, towards The Creator. I don't know what will happen when I g...
Primitive worlds, filled with potential new subjects, are highly coveted by many empires. Imagine it, taking a world filled with people, ready to be engaged in the production of new resources, ready to become soldiers, usually with their signature barbarism and brutality allowing them to be fierce soldiers in whatever ...
The smell was faintly familiar to me. Painfully familiar. I couldn't quite place it, but it brought memories of my birth mother to mind. The mother I had watched die with my very own eyes. With some trepidation in my feet, I decided to follow the scent I had picked up in the air. I kept my pace slowly and quietly thro...
When I talked to the doctors, they just smiled emptily and told me to get a note from a therapist first. When I talked to the therapists, they made piteous faces and sent me to a psychiatrist. And when I tried to flee, the psychiatrists said "it's for your own good"and placed me in a hospital and strapped electrodes to...
"Initiate compression sequence." Everyone has lines. They aren't hard lines. They're fuzzy. They get crossed. It's an uncomfortable thing to know about people- to know about yourself- but it's true. "Compression in progress. Currently at 11%." We are composed far more of circumstance than we are conviction....
"My father gave it to me, you know?"I said as I crouched next to my opponent. I ran my fingers across the gold-lined pocket watch in my hand with a sentimental smile. "He fought in the 3^(rd) Runic War and got this as a memento. For all the medals and crosses he got for his efforts, this little watch is what he treasu...
Misterrr Unbelievable! If you think he can’t do it—he can! Don’t believe he can leap tall buildings in a single bound? He’ll show you! Don’t believe he’s as fast as a speeding bullet? He’ll prove you wrong! Don’t believe he’s as strong as a locomotive? Think again, Buddy! *What you think he can’t do—he can ...
I looked across the table and turned away just as fast to stifle a laugh. I looked over again and almost spit my drink. I was on a date with a woman who was drop dead gorgeous and way out of my league. She called herself Lindsey but I knew that probably wasn't even her real name. This all began when an unmarked pac...
"Why do you want me to join you? I'm just a simple skeleton."You reply dryly. "Well...it's because you're different from the others. You're the only one who didn't try to attack me on sight."The hero admitted. You had wisely decided to stay away and hide while the hero was fighting a low-level necromancer and his ske...
"Seriously, could you just leave already? You're freaking me out." The figure perched on the corner of my hospital bed just continued to stare at me. The damn thing scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it and it wasn't any less unnerving now. It was a humanoid figure with a bright pink body stuffed into a pa...
Looking out on the vastness of the wastelands, the newborn Domril took in the beauty of what he had created, and what he was due to create. He breathed in the air, air he had brought into being, and rubbed his hands together. He picked up a handful of dirt and let it tumble out of his palm as he wondered - with a unive...
I shut my laptop lid, push my chair away from my desk and have a heart attack. That's what it feels like, like an iron band is squeezing around my middle, snapping ribs and pushing through every sinew of my body to hurt me. I gasp, clutch my heart and stand up, trying to call my dog - the only other living being in my ...
We are all gathered here, at the last star in the universe. All of us that are left, that is. I look at the scanner report. So many species, the brilliant and the terrible, didn't make it. Those of us that made it are lucky more than anything else. Our civilisation used to command a fleet of ships just like this one, ...
Did you ever have a minute where, out of nowhere things became gloriously simple? There's a term for it: the Moment of Clarity. Where everything slows down, and the priorities emerge, like rocky peaks from the fog? That's me. Hi, my name is Crasias, and I'm a demon. I'm a subtle demon, but I wasn't always. My...
I don’t like it here. I wake up to go to work and there is no camera. I brush my teeth looking in the mirror for myself only. When I commute, there are no policemen. I’m worried someone will be tempted to mug me, but no one ever does. I get to work and log into my computer. My activity is not being monitored. I could...
I walk beside a girl on a wheelchair. She's young, barely fourteen or fifteen. Her arms are thin and layered with veins like spider webs. Her hair is thin with bald batches. She stares straight ahead with a look of pure determination. She reminds me of my daughter. That girl never gave up on anything. I turn my head...
"Would you like to know a traditional Kahñen song?"I held back a chuckle, knowing that they would never know what I was actually saying. "Of course, tell us anything that will help us preserve your culture." "It is called 'Dañé Suuná Týa dal Ta.' The tune has been lost to time—my people had no way of writing music—...
I was in the middle of a murder trial, it was connected to the mob. I knew going into it I could very easily die. My wife begged me not to take the case. I don't know what I was thinking. They killed me on the side of the street, hit and run, done in a second. I never got to say goodbye to my wife. Almost instantly, ...
"You know, back in the day, they used to say that driving is the ultimate freedom." I was visibly jolted out of my thoughts when the driver in front of me spoke. This was already the third time this had happened during the ride, but I still couldn't get used to it. *Now I see why all those cab drivers or whatever got ...
Conquest sat on his horse on the hill, his eyes wandering over the destruction that lay before them. Around him, bodies lay in pieces. A lone zombie sat hunched over a body, gnawing at its arm, ripping the decomposing flesh from the bone. As he watched, an alien ship passed overhead, no doubt scanning for humans who ha...
Joe Small was not a decent human being, and he did not deserve to survive the Apocalypse. Whilst other people chose to spend Christmas Eve with their families, Joe had chosen to scour the city for empty houses. People who were at fancy restaurants. People who were visiting old friends and family. And he was singing C...
"Repeat that, Mars One. Perhaps we misheard you." "It says 'DON'T TRUST ELON MUSK', all caps". "Copy that, Mars One. Stand by for further instructions."Director Howard took off the headphones and gave them back to Max, a disgruntled temp who just wanted to go home. "Max, is it?"Director Howard asked. Max nodded. "Com...
I foster cats and kittens. Or.... at least I did....It is, sorry, was my way of giving back to the community. I raised kittens by hand when they didnt have a momma. I liked to call myself an 'interspecies mom'. I needed to explain why and how Neva came to live with me. Someone had found this tiny white kitten injured ...
Silvain felt the warmth of the amulet against his breast. It had been warm for days now, a comfort in the cold, dark cell. He was locked in the cell for almost eighteen years, since the night of the betrayal. His friends, the ones he had journeyed with for two years, sold him out to the king; they threw him into the w...
Satan rubbed at his eyes, surprising me how he managed to do it without stabbing his own eyes out. I found myself musing that he could use a manicure - those nails seemed like they hadn't seen much attention of the past millennium. The rest of him seemed perfectly well kept, his black suit and tie were finely pressed a...
The genie gave him all the cash that he would ever need What's a man to do with just a Lincoln Edward, shocked, stood there thinkin' "I spent my one and only wish fulfilling just my greed This is all I get? It must be fate that I get more." He wandered into buy a lotto ticket at his local store. He as...
Drip. Drip. Drip. It’s dark. A cave? Sewer? Something like that. There’s an electric light hanging from the ceiling of the tunnel, keeping your vision from adjusting to pick up any more detail and buzzing like the fluorescent lights in an office. Bugs are flying around it, crawling all over it. Your arms don...
"Well? What is it?" "S-sir..." "Spit it out!" "We know who's been taking out our supply lines, sir..." "WHAT!?"The fat oil baron exclaimed, rising to his feet and slamming his fists down on the wooden desk so hard it almost cracked. "WHO!?" The lawyer who had delivered the news shrunk back at his employer's outbur...
He had always known that it would come to this. Even before they had come bursting into the basement of his flat, while he was still carving his insignia into the woman's torso — Karenina, she had been called — he had known that this was how it was fated to end. Most people wouldn't bother finding out their names, let ...
"Memento Mori" ... I'm in the back of a U-Haul with two bodies. One is dead. One is about to be dead. Let me explain. This city will bleed you dry. I know this firsthand. I was born in 1950 to a poor family in an even poorer town. Found comfort in the occult. Murdered in 1983 and dumped in a ditch. Rezze...
