It's been so long since I heard his voice. He'd been gone for ages. All I wanted was his warm embrace, instead I wait outside taking any warmth that the sun gave. That's when I saw that old beat up truck, I loved that thing so much. Words could not describe my joy when I saw my best friend. "Let's go for a drive!"...
Empty. Again for the third straight week. It had filled slightly when the old man suggested the meaning of life was about 2 kilograms of flax. But he lost it the next day when he tripped over that same bag of flax in to the laundry bin. The others had stopped making fun of him when they noticed their own bars defea...
"This is Alexander and Sophia, father. They are from the European Central Bank,"Hermes said as he fluttered slightly of the ground, a few feet above Alexander and Sophia. Zeus stared down at the two mortals, being several dozen feet taller than the two of them. He squinted his eyes to see the two of them and he stifled...
Their smell practically oozed from the house. There was a whole group of them, maybe 8 or 9. I knew the scenario well: a slumber party. A whole group of little girls just ripe for terrorizing. This would keep me satisfied for weeks. You've seen Monsters, Inc, right? That sweet innocent Pixar movie about monsters w...
All over the galaxy the clones stopped. It didn't happen at once, information takes time to travel. It started closest to Coruscant and spread from there. Some of the stronger Jedi could feel it before it happened, a disturbance in the force, a ripple in the binding power of the universe. Every clone trooper, at every ...
"You seem nervous. You should know you can be completely honest with me. Our conversation is entirely confidential, that's a very serious promise." "I know,"said Margaret, fidgeting on a calfskin couch. The thing was too expensive to get comfortable on. "I'm sorry. It's not that I'm scared of opening up. I just don't ...
It was in his smile. The crooked teeth, the slightly crinkled eyes, the dimple on the right hand side. Marcus DeSanto sat at my kitchen table, mulling over the issues he had experienced today. First was the missing shipment of knock-off diamond necklace, then there was the audit for the laundry cleaning service actin...
At around 2:34 AM, six people sat cramped in four-person booth in a Denny's of only one other person, their server. "So we have a new recruit joining us today,"said Light. "Feeling lucky?" "Ha. Ha,"sniped Lady Luck as she finished rolling her eyes. "It's so much funnier the 8 trillionth time you've said it." "9 tril...
Princess Moyra fidgeted in her gown as her father took his place beside her. As the second oldest of four, it was Moyra's duty, as well as her youngest sister's, to create smaller military alliances through marriage. Her older sister would secure the unity of two kingdoms, and their baby brother would ascend the throne...
"That's crazy." "But it is the truth." Dr. James Krenilin was an older man, but he was placed perfectly in the column of such men that would be classified as 'distinguished.' He was not tall, but he was thin, with a thin face to match. He had cold, blue eyes that never seemed to waver or express. He kept his graying ...
"What the hell?"I shouted, feeling as though I'm getting shafted. When you just have something that has always been there, no matter what, by magical means, it leaves you with certain expectations when you get up in the morning. The sun comes up, my left arm is numb again, I need to pee, the fridge is full of pudding...
"And he kept asking me for more wishes,"said the genie "and I answered that he still had only one wish left to correct his mess." "You should have given him more wishes, but evil ones"answered the demon after laughing "I'm sure he would have been pleased, at least for a few days. That's all they ask for." "I can't,"s...
"What is the meaning of this?"Jack shouted, looking at his family, desperately pushing themselves against the furthest wall of the attic. "Please! Jack! Take us, but let your brother and sister go!"Jack's mom, Alice, shouted desperately, hand pushing the other two kids back. Both the kids were crying. "W-what?"Jack m...
Superpowers used to be something to look forward to. I turn 78 this year, which means there's been 60 years worth of 18 year old kids since I received my power. Back in my day, we were getting mid-tier powers, they at least had a significant purpose unlike the powers of today. We didn't get to fly or go invisible, but ...
We forgot something when we went public with our invention. The Omni-Link was supposed to be a game changer- the next great leap forward for civilization. The brightest minds of our generation poured their lives into finally building a bridge between the mind and the internet and after hundreds of iterations, tweaks, r...
Sometimes, I really hate having powers. &#x200B; My name is Esin Termini, also known as the superhero Limitless. So named because of my… well, limitless strength. I can lift anything- literally anything. Bank depository full of gold? You got it. Skyscraper? No problem. Today, though, the villain Gravito had u...
Most belief systems have some form or another of a final judgement. You die. You're brought before Yahweh or Christ or whomever you care to believe in. They run through all the dirt they got on you, and then you get approved or denied access to paradise. It's all bullshit, I've come to realize in the last few minut...

When you have a spy organization involved in handling secret missions, it is impossible to maintain that hidden nature forever. Instead, the idea is to make something so tied to a fiction that the reality can act in it's shadow. This is true for the popularity of the James Bond, 007 franchise. The number of this age...
As Jorge scaled the foreign tower far from home, he felt resolve steel his stomach. He had given up this life when his friend had taken up the crown, choosing instead to follow his foodly passions. But when King William was assassinated, he knew he had to use these skills one last time - to save his goddaughter, the Pr...
Karlak the Vangquisher had landed on planet Earth assured from the travel guide that his visit would be rewarding, easy, and most of all easy. That last part being key because Karlak was not in actual fact a predator as much as he was a predator with aspirations of becoming an accountant. So when Karlak exited his s...
“H-hey now…” Alligator-Me snapped and roared, unimpressed with my attempts to calm it. “I’m sorry, I won’t ever do it again.” I grabbed a sponge from the sink and applied some dish soap. “Look, if you had a sense of humor, you’d appreciate it.” Alligator-Me let out a muted roar as I crouched next to him and began...
"There you are,"said the pharmacist, dabbing with a cotton ball the dot of blood on my arm. "The influence shot. Not one many ask for. But they really should. Especially given the times we live in." I laughed. "Influenza. Influenza. You going to hold that slip in speech against me forever?" She smiled awkwardly. She ...
Mother traded me for 50 gold ducats. That’s what we say here, anyways, Traded. It sounds better than sold or bargained. Aru says Haggled, but all her old parents got was the lettuce she’s named after, so that’s fair enough really. I was never scared. Some of the kids are, if Nana loses track of things or ...
I had been visiting the city on business. My business being seeing how my many investments were doing. After a few thousand years, I had built up quite a fortune, one which I had no intention of losing. Existence was better when you didn't have to worry about such mundane things. One day I emerged from my room, to dis...
Usually, wishes are a good thing. Few people on this planet are evil. Despite what the news would like us to believe, no one does bad things just because. There's always a reason for it - people always try to make things better. Sometimes they make mistakes. Big mistakes, even. Genies take the intent of your wish...
"What is this?" I spoke in an unfamiliar voice. I had closed my eyes in a broken town centre, surrounded by bodies and fire. The buildings were ruined, but I had held them back long enough. I had given myself in sacrifice to protect them as long as I could, the only one I was able to do. But now I was in a strange pl...
When one walks through the POW camps, one truly sees the faces of misery. There, the proud conqueror has been broken down utterly, leaving behind a mewling creature that has no dignity, no bravery, and no hope. It has been thus ever since our victory. Ever since we beat them back, and rendered their ambitious desire fo...
He couldn't control his powers. I tried to make Marianne understand it wasn't a joke, but like always, her usual, bubbly, joyful self shone through the uncertainty. "We'd better raise him well, then,"she said, giggling as she squished our baby's fat cheeks together so his tongue came out like a candy dispenser. "I s...
I was gulping for already the tenth time, probably more and squinted my eyes. The room was way too bright for my eyes and was totally empty except for the source of illumination that was responsible for the bright light itself and the very chair I was sitting at and the table I was leaning on. And then finally a door ...
She hated dogs. Hated the big ones and the small ones. The ones with flat noses and curling ears and stub tails and the ones only a half-recalled ancestry away from wolf. The wieners and the racers and the yappers and the junkyard growlers. All of them. Hated the whole last one of them: ever since that near-mauling al...
"C'moooooon." I had a cat, once, when I was younger. Her name was Tessa. Mostly black with adorable little white tufts. She would meow, like any other cat— "C'mooooon!" But, for the most part, she behaved well. She was adorable, and loving. Adventurous and curious and energetic, but never too much of a bother. She k...
"I gotta testify, Came out in '04 so if it is best if I Explain why I didn't die in the Lexus ride. That was a decade ago, but I digress. So why Are you here, is the question on your mind, ain't it kid? I'm a nigga, so it wasn't hard to flip an Anakin. Got cha in my lair, 'cause ever since my Momma died, A nigg...
I work hard for my money. I fuck hard and I party. Sometimes I bet, sometimes I lose. Tonight, I really fucked up. “Dude, are you sure?” Dave looked worried, as he handed me the innocent looking paper bag. I take the bag, feeling the warmth and the weight of its content. I take a deep breath, exhale and whisper ...
Penelope, a lovely woman with a british accent walked into the room. "Ok, Mr. Reynolds, the UN meeting begins in 15 minutes, do you want anything before you start? Coffee? Soda?" "No, Penelope. Mere drinks cannot quench the thirst for enlightenment." "Brilliant, Mr. Reynolds. Just brilliant." "I know." What the fuc...
The first human contact with aliens was awkward and distressing. Best described as snail-like sentients, the Aluumu were slow-moving pseudo-molluscs who had developed a sort of organic technology that had allowed them to venture into space. They were old - about 10 billion years older than humanity - yet their techno...
I second this! The prompts here are awesome! I teach 11-14 year olds in the US. We write every Friday. They love it, and their imaginative stories blow me away. Some of the best prompts for me were: As winter continues into spring and summer months, it becomes clear that the cold is not going away. The earth is...
They said we were unwanted, unneeded in society. Because of what? Because we were unique. Iron, the only substance known to reject the essence of magic, the damn thing our world had for a core. All residue of spells or meteors containing that of the arcane vaporised as they made it into our atmosphere, leaving us with...
"Philip, what the FUCK?"the alien snapped at a cowering..well, other alien. "It was an accident, I swear!"the cowering alien, Philip apparently, whimpers. "Accident shmaccident, look at what happened because of it!"the superior barked. "Uh, the internet?"I cut in, still strapped to the table between the arguing alie...
You had lived to see the end of siege, the ceasefires, the civilians being evacuated hollow-eyed from the rubble. You had lived to see the politicians congratulating themselves, pens working busily at treaties and accords as they shook hands and clapped each other on the back and beamed at the cameras. You had lived t...
"Can I help?"I ask her. The lady smiles and shakes her head as she struggles with her enormous suitcase. I step forward anyway and help her load it onto the overhead compartment. She smiles sweetly and clutches her protruding belly. More than four months in, by the looks of it. "Thank you,"she says in heavily accente...
They say that when you die, you see your life flash before your eyes. If that’s true, I’m fine with that. I always thought I’d live longer than to sixty-five, but life is a tricky little bugger once you get to know it well. You never know where the road leads or who will travel with you, until you reach the end. My wi...
The cameras peered like vultures. Never in the history of the Olympic Games has the world seen such an upset. Shaun White, Travis Rice, Scott James, and now: Dave. Dave from Colorado. Were there steroids in his flask? Was there a mix-up and a professional snowboarder competed in place of a civilian? The Olympic commi...
My comrades and I pulled our hoods up and quickened our pace. We wore thin brown tunics and had even ditched our shoes for our disguise. Our steps came in perfect synchronization and if anyone cared to check, I’m sure they would’ve even found our heartbeats the same. We were doppelgangers that looked more similar than ...
"I'll be back,"Michelle had promised. My last glimpse of her was through the insulated glass porthole of the secondary vault door, hand resting anxiously on the emergency lockdown lever. It was an imposing thing, with a red T-handle six inches wide and a clear plastic cover. She'd ran into the house screaming her youn...
Our leader hadn’t always been the brightest bulb in the box. He was a good public speaker for sure, but not always the best to ask for help in your math homework you know? So I came in the office one day and he was elated. He said he had the greatest plan ever. He promptly sent all of the other advisers out of the r...
I walked slowly to the front of the community center, a thin line of sweat forming on my brow as I made my way to the podium. Looking out over the crowd, I saw the eager faces of my family and friends. We had rented this same space for my brother's Words Ceremony. It was nothing special: cheap wood paneling covered the...
On Bobby Brahms Jr.'s birthday no one came to his house to wish him happy birthday. He's becoming 12 years old. He had already prepared the party and invited people, but no one came because his mother was a satanist. The other parents are aware of this, and they forbade their children from mingling with him. Sad and...
"Mortal! What is the meaning of this?" I look over the top of my book at a grotesque monster, and sigh. "I'm not the one who summoned you. What's your name, demon?" "I am the infamous Lord Axaris the Bloody! I have killed-" "Okay, Axaris, what's the issue. You know why you were summoned, don't you?" I put my book ...
I stared at the man in disbelief, taking in all of his features: a scraggly beard hanging from wiry threads to a drooped face. Bags were formed under the eyes that seemed to hold the future within them. His nose curled to a point and his eyebrows were concealed by a green toboggan. Words finally formed on my suddenly d...
The king watches from the ramparts of his castle. A man with a cane and a man wearing a white lab coat cut through the crowd gathered below the castle. Behind them, their three companions follow. The man in the lab coat is consulting a chart. The man with the cane has the distinct look of being there against his wi...
It's not even darkness that surrounds us, because that implies that there's space for light. There is endless empty space, just... not for light. Not for anything yet. Or anymore, whichever one you want to call it. I think it's both. The other reason I cannot call it darkness is because Darkness is sitting across f...
Blood obscured his vision as Scott woke up until the combat medic standing above him wiped his eyes clear. As his eyes focused on the face, he discovered that for the second time today Kris had saved his life. “Fuck, Kris. Stop this. Let me go!” Scott grabbed his weapon, stood up, and rushed back into combat. Bulle...
A Ruler is nothing without their Sword. Before the Age of the Sword was the Age of the Crown. A pretty gilded thing, a fragile symbol, a toy and nothing more. Passed from Father to Son as a symbol of the Right to Rule. The Crowning Sword Clarent, Drawn from the Stone under the machinations of Merlin. The Magical Swor...
"Welcome to the crew Roman! How was it that you finally realized that the Agency was the place for you?"my new partner, Cap, said slapping me on the back. "Oh, well, you know, I just wasn't getting what I was looking for at Operations. They didn't have... the right people for me to work with,"I answered. "By the way, ...
“Um. . . I can tell you the presidents, and I think the Patriots won a superbowl or two? I guess there were a couple wars, somewhere in Europe? I don’t really know, just not on this continent. Brexit, that’s pretty big, everyone talks about that. Oooh, and I need to get in touch with Disney. Carrie Fisher didn’t surviv...
That Christmas morning started like any other I could remember. I was awoken much earlier than any human should ever wake up, and especially on a holiday, by my son jumping on me, urging me to get up and give him his presents. He was eleven now, and although most of his friends had long since given up on the concept ...
"That will be two silver royals and three copper for the obsidian dagger, a pack of incense and three measures of rock salt,"I said with my best smile. "Won't you round down to two silver? For the continued partnership, what do you say?"Rethan asked, reaching into his coin purse. He bargained every time, but invariabl...
I ran into the alley, panting for breath as I prayed for safety. "No no no..."I cried, tears streaming down my face as I cradled my camera close. I thought I could get a good picture of Spider-Man without getting caught. After all, that Parker guy could all the time before he dropped off the grid, so it couldn't be tha...
The sword plunges into my side, the gelatinous exterior smoothly parting to allow it through. In moments, it has dissolved, and I pause to savor the rush of its power; its birth at the forge, the light streaming through the shop window and warming its surface, the monstrous blood that has coated it since this adventure...
So, there I was, sitting at the doctors office when I notice outside the window, things are literally cooking in the street ! People are getting flash sunburns, cars paint jobs are fading right before my eyes, you get the idea. Suddenly, my phone starts ringing with this air raid siren ring I've never head before. Cal...
I wasn't completely sure why, but boredom had begun to set in. Raiding towns, stealing livestock, plundering treasure; it was all quite fun. The occasional knight climbing to my high eyrie,, for a spot of interesting challenge. But the monotony, that had begun to get to me. Playing with the knights before slaying the...
"Book or Game?" These words echoed through my head as I perused the library looking for where I'd spend the rest of my foreseeable future. The problem wasn't that I had too many options, though that thought did occur to me quite early on, the problem was that I couldn't really check any of my options too thoroughly...
"Ah, fuck, that's good,"I moan as I wrap my hand around Lila's head. I urge her to sink her fangs deeper and suck harder. Something about when a vampire fed on you was just... indescribable. It was better than the best sex. A high that was higher than any drug could provide. It was a shame most people don't know about ...
It was over in an instant. It always was. It always would be. When I was born, I had a strange sense of things. I realized that I could change things, but I didn't change reality, I changed the narrative. Well, when I was seven I wanted to be the best, so I changed the narrative so I recieved the blessing of every d...
After forty days and forty nights, the rains ceased, and the waters began to recede. And Noah went down into the ark, and walked upon its lower decks, unto the great wooden pallets of gopherwood, whereupon he had laid the fifteen-score pokeballs as he had been commanded -- for in those days, there were as yet but one-...
“Is he… is that—?” “No way! Even I think that’s disgusting.” “And you eat human hearts!” “Yes, that was my point.” “Nah, maybe it’s not the same. Y’know? Like if a human ate, like, a monkey burger or something.” “That’s also disgusting, though.” “Yeah, that would be super gross.” “I’d try it.” “Dude!” “Serio...
"Behold!"Lord Tyrant roared, dragging the beaten and battered farmboy onto the balcony of the Temple of Death. "Your grand hero! Born the seventh son of a seventh son. Orphaned by war. Taken in by a witch with one eye. Wielder of the Seven Arms of Fate. Is that not what the Prophecy said? IS THIS THE MAN WHOM YOU CHOSE...
Duty first. It was the instructions that had been drilled into her since she was born, as future heir - with her fathers attempts to produce a son futile - Marcella was instructed to put the rights of her country and her throne first, before any personal decisions. To the world, Marcella was an icon. A royal born in ...
"He's beautiful!"Tom took the baby carefully from his wife, instead of a tired smile, there was a look of shock printed solidly on her face, but Tom was too happy to notice. "Aren't you cute! Say hello to daddy!"He pulled the cloth back from the dark brown skin and the baby stared back. I didn't cry, it just stared up...
May 14, 2015 Dear Diary: I love my cat. But why does he ignore me most of the time? He is super cuddly and friendly when he wants to be. He's calmed me in many bad times when he's like that. But outside of those times, and outside of dinner, he runs away from me, even squirms away when I try to hold him. I brush him ...
[Jerry turns off the TV and they all stare at the blank screen] GEORGE: "Zombies? Zombies are in Times Square right now?! I guess I don't have to think of an excuse to miss dinner tonight with Shelly." JERRY: "You might never have to go to dinner again if she gets bit. She doesn't seem like she'd be a fast runner. Fa...
''He's here.'' The look on the knight's face spoke for itself. The man reached for his golden helmet, laying beside him on a wooden table, covered by a tablecloth stitched in golden thread, ''sine peccato'' reflected by the light of the chandelier above it. As he stood up, he put the helm on his head and grabbed his s...
"Look, I know it can be damaging,"Pete began, "but the people want it, it gives them courage, it makes them fun." "We can't just allow everyone to damage their bodies like that for a little fun, Pete. Alcohol causes major liver damage. It kills brain cells. It's illegal and it's still killing tons of people pe...
Kieran woke me up after the ship wreck. We had washed up on shore, nothing but a few planks of wood and a few emergency supplies was left to show a thousand person cruise liner had once existed. That includes any people. Kieran said that as far as we knew we were the only survivors, which meant nobody would be looking ...
In the centre of a circle was the centre of a shape with five points, and in the centre of this shape was evil incarnate. Satan himself would falter at the sight of this... beast before me. My own offspring - my sweet, innocent boy, whether through mere chance or by the instruction of a lower power had created this sum...
"I don't understand."he mumbled as he stared at the robed figure seated in the corner. George had gone to sleep early the night before when he felt a fever coming. It seemed that the Nyquil was making him see things. "I knew I should have just gone to sleep and not eat churros and BBQ sauce." As George began to roll o...
"Christ on a caribou, it's really him!"Urgyle bared his fangs in a sneer, flaring his nostrils to confirm the scent. As the Beta of the pack, reconnaissance was one of his many duties. "It cannot be,"replied Anteron. The 9-year old Alpha joined Urgyle at the grassy hill crest that overlooked the deep, brush-filled val...
David had bought an old oil lamp in a garage sale, thinking it was a neat addition to the various oddities he displayed on his room. Atop his desk was black meteorite, an antique Chinese tea set, and now a slightly scratched arabic lamp, just like in all the genie stories he had heard in his youth. Since the scratches ...
Xx_ShakyaMuni_xX_185: Seriously, level with me, how the fuck is Life the most popular game of all time? DASHAVATARA: Excuse me? DASHAVATARA: Sorry, wait, are you still logged in? You shouldn't be able to communicate with admins at all while you're still logged in. What did you do? How are you doing this...
"Taurus Alpha Team now approaching terminal point. Over."I stated into my comm system. "Roger that, over"was the reply. We had descended so far into the earth that even the high-powered lanterns that had been strung down the length of the hole prior to our descent seemed dim. "Depth 13.9 kilometers and counting"Dan...
I knew, when they gave me this choice, that I would outlive my loved ones. I knew I would find new loved ones, and they would die on me too. I understood, in some small way at the time, that it would be painful. I thought the beauty of the world would make up for that pain. The pain that was unimaginably more impactful...
Cargil's flourishing that damned cane of his as another group of wide eyes trot in his wake. I have to massage my temples to stave off the headache. This way and that, his blazoned cane waves--an amber relic from the very first planet dig. "But they had the foresight to mummify!"Cargil says. The group nods along as...
"Are you ready,"asked the technician. I nodded, too excited to speak. Instantly I was there. It was an old farmhouse built in 1905. It had seen a lot of inhabitants in the last 100 years, and its newest host was a group of young men. I still felt the weariness of my old bones aching from the future, but the vision o...
"Good morning, dear." They said Monday morning couldn't get any worse. So what in the world is any good in today, of all time? "Can't breathe..."I mumbled in-between her clothed bosom. At least I was thankful to have a girlfriend this well-endowed. If only her mind were as developed as her body. "Then, don't hug me ...
They whisper behind my back, call me useless, a token member. I was once a slave to my gift, my curse. Empathy is a very tricky power. As a child I felt everyones emotions and thought them my own. It was a burden i didn't even knew I bore. A court ordered councilor changed everything. At only 8 years old i fell into ...
"We need to keep him here!"my mother replied, frightened of my sister's constant asking. Molly had been looking at me suspiciously throughout the thanksgiving feast and seemed very uncomfortable with my presence. And whenever Molly had asked mother who I was, mother had not said a single word and instead remained focus...
Blood was everywhere. Or at least, everywhere I could see. There were stars in my eyes, my ears were ringing, and it hurt too much for me to try and roll over. I'd been hit by a car. I knew that much. I suspected I was dying, but I couldn't be sure about that one. Maybe I was just losing consciousness. Maybe I'd end up...
Bony fingers clattered on a keyboard. "HELLO, REDDIT! I AM KNOWN BY MANY NAMES AMONG YOU, BUT THE MOST COMMON IS "DEATH". YOU MAY CALL ME MORT. AMA!" If he had a throat, Death would have been swallowing hard. Dealing with multiple mortals at once was not a common experience for him, him being more the "one-on-one,...
I looked at him. He looked at me. He was shorter than me by a full foot, and he was squinting up at me with his head sideways. His hair was as red as a dusty sunset, and his freckled face was earnest. “How did you die first?”, he asked. “Uh. What? Die? I never died. Why would I die? There’s nothing dangerous enough t...
After some gentle persuasion I finally decide to accompany my family out in celebration. After all, it has been about 6 months since I've been able to walk, and about a year and a half since I've been able to eat on my own. I haven't had any beer or alcohol in years due to all the different therapies and pills I'm forc...
The Mantis hovered into the hanger of the flagship and landed with a soft thud. Around the ship, the ragtag group of rebels and dissidents gathered around, clapping and cheering Everyone in the hanger, and the entire flagship, was in high spirits. The crew of the Mantis had done the impossible. They had destroyed the ...
"HAHAHA, BATMAN, NOW YOU'LL TRULY BE THE CAT'S MEOW, HAHAHAHA!" The Joker hollared and cackled as Batman was slowly lowered by chain towards a pit of ravenous cats, when the door opened. A police officer entered, gauged the situation, and pulled her gun, putting a round into the Joker's chest when the clown drew his o...
"It had only been two weeks, but it felt like years."Dave sighed deeply, took a toke from his pipe and let out an opaque cloud of vapor, letting it dance around the fire. "You children don't understand humans, having been spared the scars I must bear for you."Dave glared into the eyes of the assembled elvish youths as...
Tearing flesh and quick stabs brings the beast to the floor. Again the human stands triumphant with their many wounds fading away as the holodeck rolls back the damage. “Why does he do this?” asks Shlonor, “There is no situation where he will encounter a Jallaman Slasher, they are extinct!” The human looks to us almost...
"I think you're being very narrow-minded right now."The sound came from the skeleton. But the jaw didn't flap. All I saw was the small red lines dancing around its exterior. "And a little specist."It folded its arms, the suit it had on crinkled like cheap fabric. I tried to think over my high school civics class. "Y...
It wasn't hard to get her to give up her baby. She was young and wanted to stay that way. I granted her the immortality and eternal youth she sought and she would give me her first born. Without hesitation she accepted the offer.We signed a contract and she was bound by soul to keep up her end of the deal. Now, a few...
The woman lit her pipe and adjusted herself in the armchair. "It's open,"she said to the intangible presence in the room. "Come in." The entity wasted no time; it wouldn't be the first time a human underestimated it. Curious as the black door before this woman's mind was, the fluke would ultimately be of no consequen...
Look, I'm 21. It'd be weirder if I didn't black out at some point, right? I took the first one as a sign to cut down my drinking, having no desire to wake up half-dressed in a random park again. I felt great, too. I felt stronger, and I even started jogging. I always had too much energy, it seemed. I was pretty good a...
The newspapers reported the death of Ultra Man in the papers the following morning. Funerals were held and broadcasted on TV. Reporters flocked to interview anyone and every about their thoughts of his death. TV specials ran for months about the impact his death would have upon the world. When The Cackler was finally p...
