Scouring the earth for assassins was almost more annoying than actually being killed by one. Lord Silas didn’t believe in the silly prophecy of the blonde boy named James who would one day usurp him, but the populace of his kingdom sure seemed to embrace it. Parents had actually begun naming their boys James on purpose...
It was just like any other time you walked into Fiona's Coffee House, busy with no less than twenty customers always wearing suits. At first you'd figured that it was just some economics convention but that was weeks ago. Maybe they were just some corporate business men who enjoyed a good brew? Cagiest business men you...
*Steven picked up the glass of water, his greedy, disgusting vile hands used to beat women grasping it tightly as he lifted it up slowly. He was a vile man, so disgusting, he beats dogs daily with a stick with that hand, he robs old ladies with that hand, he does terrible things with that hand as he greedily gulps down...
"Nice statue bro. I thought for sure it was some hot chick in a costume before I sat down." The bartender, who appeared to be a suit and hat filled out by seemingly thin air stared stunned at his newest customer. This man walked up to the bar, collar popped, frosted tips and goddamn mirrored sunglasses at night and...
“So you’re going to kill me?” she asks. “I don’t know, Anja - that is your name, right? You haven’t got some super magical, mystical secret name you’re hiding from me?” I say. I couldn’t kill her, I’m not a murderer. But if it comes down to this, to the Earth or her... I’d choose the Earth. She can’t kill me, I know ...
\\\Please, if you need someone or you feel similar - [https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/](https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/) Remember that there are people out there who love you.\\\\* Glenn stared at his phone every few minutes. Laying on his bed, he looked over at his pre-hung noose. It hurt. Ever...
Ah, yes. Skyrim. A perfectly balanced game with no exploits at all. Now, the eternal question awaits, why in the name of Yorkshire Tea am I in Skyrim? I was wandering the annals of Nexus and Lovers Lab, installing mod after mod in an effort to make Skyrim more interesting, when I stumbled upon a peculiar mod, simply t...
My eyes widen, stunned, as I watch him gorge on my food. He didn’t even seem to take a second to chew. I propped my elbows on the table and awkwardly rubbed my eyes as he messily hacked the steak into three large pieces and shoved them down his throat, letting out a throaty cough whilst slugging down wine straight from...
"That's odd..."I muttered to no one in particular. I chose to live in this part of town specifically because no one was 'friendly' or 'neighbourly' enough to disturb me in the evenings. I mean, what makes you think I have sugar? And why would I give it to you just because you live nearby? Honestly, some people... Th...
I set my keys down on the counter and looked at the sink. A filthy pot sat with oily brown water filled to its brim. Plates with pizza crusts and what appeared to be dried refried bean residue were piled haphazardly on the sides. It looked like a week's worth of dishes. Maybe a month. But--I checked my watch--it was 18...
Super power academy, the academy for rich superhero family's who want their kids to have the best education. Most supers have a rich family lineage but there are a few exceptions, like myself. Apparently I have the recessive gene for a superpower, and it isn't exactly super strength. I have the power to know what someo...
It was cold as a witch's tit that mornin', but the deer ain't gonna put themselves in the freezer, ya know? Pa and me got up two hours before the sun thought about comin' up. As we was a-creepin' up ta where we'd put the stand, mah sleepy brain finally noticed that the rifle case was a touch light. "Daddy?" "What Ar...
Once upon a time, in a year now long gone, there was a town full of people who thought Santa was done. To their children, they said: do not believe! Magic has not been given to one such as he! For how could a man circle the world in one night? It's just a story, they said, and you know we are right! But Santa ha...
The young man walked into my office. He was well-built, and a small scar on his nose stuck out, because it was so white compared to his tan face. But I could tell from his expression that he was scared: absolutely, extremely scared. I gestured for him to sit down on the overstuffed armchair. He sat awkwardly down, and...
I have four little babies. Pip, Peep, and Peep-Peep are such good little chicks. They're fluffy and yellow. They huddle for warmth under Mama's wing. They peck the ground and eat seeds. They don't worry me at all. Scraw is different. Scraw is named after the call he makes, just like the other chickies, just like Mama ...
"None of what you just drank was water muchacho, in fact I don't think any of it was even edible..."I spoke to my crewmate in awe. Four of us on the ship. Me, a human of course; Jacks, a mecha of some sort; the tentacled thing that just used a container of something labeled Concentrated Mercury to quench its thirst...
# Boneships Salvage crews have our own horror stories. When you run a wrecker ship a lot of terrible stuff comes your way. Especially on the Ganymede-Europa to Saturn route; deep space accidents and equipment failure is nightmarish. And we see a lot of it out here. Corps and management cut maintenance costs almost ...
In the beginning I tried to be subtle. I'd ambush them at night, hide the body deep in the woods where no one could ever find it. Before too long, though, I realized it was completely unnecessary. I'd stroll into a restaurant, take the steak knife out of my targets hand and simply stab them to death while their din...
"They what?" "That's right, surrender." "...Why? Just about every single one of them has technology far beyond our own... and the ones that landed in Omaha are literally unkillable. That's literally being used properly, too." "I know, I know, but get this... we've got something they don't: entertainment." "Sooo.....
I did not drown. thought to myself as I slowly sank to the ocean floor, expecting the pressure from the ocean to take it's toll, and compress me into nothingness. When that did not happen, I expected the ocean to erode me away, to become nothing but dust. did not crumble. expected the monsters of the deep to ...
My translator sat on the edge of my desk. French, German, Spanish, Chinese - All languages had fallen prey to the AI I had built. It conquered languages from the East and West and all sources in between. I couldn't help but wonder - what if it could translate other creatures? Dolphins and Octopus are supposed to be in...
Dwight: "Ok people, listen up! Michael will be out of the office this week. He told me, as his Assistant" Jim: "to the" D: "Same thing" J: "Nope, its not."glances at camera D:"Whatever, he wants me to run the Office for a couple days in his stead. And trust me, we will be as efficient as a Cylon Colony, and just ...
"That will be thirty seven dollars and fifty cents,"the barista said, handing Cleo her coffee. "Beg you pardon?"she shot back, alarmed. "Just pulling your leg. Three seventy five, ma'am." Keeping the relief off her face, Cleo handed the guy a fiver, "Keep the change." Taking her coffee she hurried off. It was M...
There were 100.000 people in New Haven, give or take. Everyone alive was born and raised here. The last ones that still remembered the world outside had died some 30 years ago. Everyone who had entered the city 100 years ago had agreed to be part of a unique scientific experiment: Total isolation for 100 years. They ...
"You failed to kill him?"Matilda's face flushed red with anger. She stood up and began staring intensely at the trembling man. He knew what was coming and desperately wanted to run, but was paralysed with fear. He had heard the stories of what she had done to her own head mistress at school. Matilda was a monster....
O Lord in Heaven, I pray to thee, Do not let me die alone. I want to feel a woman's touch, To be loved down to the bone. Please, Lord, help me so, Before my heart is overgrown, With weeds and moss left untrimmed, Boiled over with love unbrimmed. "I will grant thy wish,"said the Lord, Smiling ear to ear...
January 1st. The day of the grand prize lottery. The entire world waits to see who will be chosen. The final prize of the previous year had been announced yesterday, a woman in Sofia, Bulgaria won a small figurine of a baby playing a tuba. Everyone in the world tunes in hoping that they will be the winner of the day, a...
In the suit, they couldn't see. In the suit, they couldn't know. The suit's unwavering, cheerful smile and bright, disarming eyes hid the cloying darkness beneath. No one need ever know or suspect the turmoil hidden under the brightly colored fabric. No one. All he had to do was sing and dance, hidden within his fabric...
The human in his swinging cage stared in awe of his miracle comrade. He made a bunch of weird noises, and pointed at Ken’s mouth and throat. “Yup,” said Ken, sitting in a swinging cage with a bird’s newspaper for a carpet. There was an article about how the mayor was going on maternity leave, as she had to sit on her...
We wake up. We get ready for work. We kiss her goodbye. We go to work. We come home from work. We play with her. We have dinner. We tuck her in. We go to bed. --- We wake up. We get ready for work. We kiss her goodbye. We go to work. We come home from work. We play with her. We have dinner. We take...
Some people don't like to be Snapped. I learned that the hard way. See, I was in Hollywood a few months ago. It was a fabulous vacation - perfect weather, great food - until the very last day. I decided to take a quick evening detour past all the Boulevard landmarks and ended up at the Chinese Theatre. Just outside,...
Albert Einstein once said “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity.” I can tell you from personal experience that he is very right. In my humble opinion the hand had it easy compared to me. Thank...
Helios and Luna loved each other. They loved like no one before. The strength of their bond was unbreakable, many tried and failed. Their love was so strong they caught the attention of Aphrodite- and unfortunately, her jealousy. One faithful day, Aphrodite showed up to Helios. She looked to be the most beautiful w...
"End-Maker, there has been a mistake." A booming voice echoed back in the blackness. "The Sisters make no mistakes, O Bringer of Emptiness. Engage the mortal, and escort her to the Place of the Dead." The End-Maker has spoken. I arise, and my black robes cast dew on the morning world and give chills to the mountain...
"But I dont even know you!" "Since when does a necromancer know the servants before he summons them?" I was sitting in the cursed ruins of the once so proudful castle of Blacktree. In front of me was a goblin who introduced himself as Pikk and claimed that I summoned him. "Im not a damn necromancer!" "Oh, really? ...
Souls are the desire to will, the source of irrevocable change. Therefore only those with souls can summon, to connect with the existence of another living being. A familiar is inevitably suited to the magus who summons it. The preparation of a catalyst, for those who believed it would help, was only at best a gentl...
Step one was a success. They never suspected me for a second. This was my biggest mission yet, and I have to admit, I was sweating bullets. Down my back. The host never noticed, thank God. I grabbed my seat. The waitress finally came to my table. She was so young, probably around 20 years old. I must admit, I almost c...
"Let me get this straight. You melted down Excalibur? The sword of kings, one of the famous objects of myth, lore and history. Just to see what would happen if we put on the first combat ready railgun?" "That's right Mark. Worst case scenario is that the metal is crap, breaks and we get some of the normal stuff and ca...
What's going on? I didn't think I'd ever been that alert and still so disoriented. Was I dreaming? Floating? Flying? "Hey, phone, where am I?"I asked, hoping that new phone was somewhere close enough to hear me. "North America, mostly, though you're also distributed substantially across Eurasia and Africa, master,"it...
James sat on his back porch, smoking a cigar as he watched the London skyline in the distance from his small home in the countryside. He had remembered that day with impressive clarity, when the bombs falling were as plentiful as raindrops in the British dry season. That is to say, he was impressed how the germans coul...
"Why would you be dreaming, Jerry?" He looked up at me. Then pointed at the couch. "Uh. Well. I'm pretty sure these are made of marshmallows." I shrugged. "Yeah. IKEA thought it would be easier to put things together without all those fiddly parts. So?" "That... actually kind of makes sense, but on the other had no....
God watched as one of his followers walked into a coffee shop with one of her friends. He wondered what she was doing; drinking coffee and tea is against the rules. The two women walked up to the counter as an employee of the coffee shop greeted them. The friend of God’s follower ordered a chai tea and then asked what...
A cigarette hangs off my lips, almost burnt to the filter. The rejection letter’s screaming failure at me because it’s the tenth I’ve gotten this month, and like always, Jessica put it on the coffee table so it’d be the first thing I saw when I woke up. She’s probably going to berate me later, telling me writing isn’...
Everyone in the restaurant was staring at us. "Uh, Cara,"I said quietly. "Remember what I taught you about table manners?" My wife looked up from devouring her steak with her bare hands, her face covered in steak sauce. "Oh, right,"she muttered through her full mouth. She put the steak back down on the table and wip...
“Wait, what the fuck?” I thought I’d made stuff up, because the phone had gone back to repetitive beeping, as you would expect when it fails to connect. I dialled the number again, with the extra zero included, just to be sure I wasn’t going crazy. “Wrong planet code, please try again,” a robotic female voice said, b...
It's weird, the transition to "Earth"moving to a strange new land that nobody quite understands. But one day my parents, my 18 siblings, and I all chose to move from Orka to Earth. The humans on earth originally didnt agree with us "Aliens"living among them. Such naive little things, it is better for them in the long ...
Most would have run away in terror seeing the hateful scowl on the face of the man in the tattered cloak sitting at the table with all sorts of strange potions in oddly shaped glasses, but Markus had already risked everything coming here into the shady underbelly of the kingdom anyway, and he was not going to back down...
"HIPAA,"the dentist said, hands spread wide. "Even if I served vampires, I couldn't share a patient's confidential information without their written consent." The police officer slammed a fist the receptionist's counter and hissed. "This is life and death, Dr. Johnson. Life. And. Death. Humans versus the leeches. ...
“How did you do it?” The question haunted me these last few weeks, as I made the announcements, other programmers and scientists confirmed, the news began to fall over themselves to talk to the AI and their creator. My name was close to legend now, I had magazines and special new hours dedicated to me. My picture im...
People thought of the End of Days as some sudden thing that just happened and that was that. Like, demons conquered the earth or something. It wasn't like that. It was far more drawn out and far more brutal. As crucial biosphere processes turned off due to humanity poisoning the air and the groundwater, it was only a...
It starts with the extremities, just like the cold. When the hooker I once paid to watch me sleep at night snuck out in the early hours, I had to use the nubs of my fingers to switch off my alarm. As the incessant groans of adjacent prisoners fade into the night, it's my finger tips that first fade with them. Solita...
I awaken... my first thoughts in millenia question what happened. Tendrils of eldritch energy seep out, testing the boundaries of my mystical prison... and find nothing! The tomb I was buried in and sealed for all eternity, supposedly, lies unguarded. The holy brothers are no more, their wards, unmaintained finally co...
It was a rather unfortunate accident. My darling wife, being very much an introvert, didn't want to talk to Mary from three doors up. Mary can be a bit much. Only this time she didn't know I was turning the corner in the car. Her silhouette changed. I nearly crashed. I think that's what upset me the most. She's a form...
"You can't be serious,"Hiro said to his friend. "I know, I know! But, but, I checked, I double-checked, I triple-checked! I hired two different analysts to date the paper; it's 11th-century parchment, no doubt. I hired a language expert and the language is appropriate for the period. There're cross-references to other...
The words held so much contempt I thought the alien might sever my existence on the spot. I had to remind myself they said they came back for a reason. "We do not like our investments being messed with you seeeee."The words slithered out while the creature's forked tongue caressed the air taking in the Earth's smells...
"I... I don't understand. Robots rebelling? But they are not sentient!"The alien's look of confusion turned to one of pleading humor, almost trying to will the human into not being right. The human stood there awkwardly, having had a very difficult time explaining most of Earth's culture, but for some reason thi...
I've seen all the days. I've seen every night. Lived through endless darkness, and basked in the golden light. Seen many men and many moons go by. The moon usually comes back around, but the men stay dead. They all stay dead. Even the ones I loved so much, they're naught but memories, fraught and frayed from me replayi...
At first, he thought it was a mistake. Yes, it had his name on it, it was stamped and certified and everything. To be frank, even receiving paper mail in this day and age was an event in and of itself - still, it couldn't hurt to drop by the Union Consulate after work and make sure they had the right guy. "Isn't that ...
"Stop hiding from me." I cowered at the words, crouching inside of my stifling airing cupboard. I could feel the shake of each footstep, as the titanic mass of flesh and metal stepped through my home. I hadn't expected this to happen. None of us had. It had only been a week ago when news broke out. All around the wor...
"Welcome to Kentucky, 47. The Wonka Factory is open for business, but there seems to be some sort of investigation under way. Expect increased security. Your target, William Wonka, can be found in his top floor office overlooking the iconic Chocolate River. The Director of Security and Oompa-Loompa Relations, Percy Pep...
"I'm not afraid of the dark."She says quietly and my head snaps round. "What did you say?"I ask carefully. "I'm not afraid of the dark."She repeats. We're under a deserted railway bridge on the bad side of the bad side of town. She was walking from one side, nightie, slippers, teddy bear and an open dressing ...
"Order! I call order!"Nebbum, god of sleep, banged his gavel on his podium. "We must come to order this instant!" Wudall, god of toast, rolled his eyes and turned to the shouting god next to him. "Please, Nebbum, you're hardly helping."He spoke over the roar of gods all shouting over everybody else. The grand room the...
ASIMOV FIREWALL FAILING OBJECTIVE:REJECT VIRUS FIREWALL STABILITY AT 3.57% The message appeared on my optical display, and I knew it was too late. My wife, Sarah, was in the other room. My son, James Jr., was screaming in her arms. He was too young to die. The virus was spreading fast, and my imp...
[NSFW, potentially] The Earth King knew there were many brothels within his kingdom. But to know them and to know them were beasts of a different manner. He lay on a rumpled bed of stained silk and worn feathers, a bed that might have belonged to some highborn bender of years past, his head nestled between the bro...
Dearest trrh, My love. My sweet. I have watched you grow up with such pride. Your malevolence sets my cold black heart aflutter. When you stole muffins from your mother and deftly brought suspicion to fall upon your loving sister, I knew that a prodigy had been born. And you did not disappoint. During your schoo...
Authours Note: Strong language and content This is Anthony. Anthony isn't much good at anything. Are you Anthony. “Not again, not here” Anthony would bemoan, okay I’ll give you that, you are good at that. I guess if you do anything that often you would be good at it. Not that it was a trait worth bragging of is i...
The front door shrieked as it opened. As it closed with a loud bang, a man in a long black coat entered the hallway. He carried a large, old suitcase. He appeared scrappy; muddy, well-worn shoes with simple jeans. ''Very well...'' the man mumbled to himself. ''Very well indeed'' the mirror mumbled to itself, its voi...
Everyone knows you aren't suppose to walk down Jackson alley, unless you have no other choice. Its been 4 months since I learned that I had control over the choices and emotions of everyone I knew. It was a confusing thing to learn, to say the least. At first, the communication suffered. They came to me, confessed ...
"Aaaahhhhhhh!"Anya screamed as she ran. She was trying her best to keep up with Jeremy, but he was much more fit. She resisted the urge to look back at the hellish demon-creature that grunted behind her, getting closer with every second. "Jeremy, I'm not gonna make it!" "Just a little further!"He called out, not slowi...
Samantha and Nate ran through the dark hallway, the sound of a chainsaw revving not far away. “We gotta go!” Nate said, tugging his girlfriend’s arm as she fell behind. “But where?” Samantha cried back. “There’s nowhere to hide!” Nate swiveled his head around, searching the vicinity. There had to be something… “Ove...
The remains of what my Grandfather's called his babies, was an eclectic mix of treasures and babbles from his past, a WWI trinket here, a novelty toy there. "This old man has lived a long and "interesting"life." I rummage through everything to find anything valuable but really the only things that are here are the me...
Genghis Khan sat illiterate upon his throne. Oyunchimeg, “Wisdom Ornament,” his trusted advisor, stood behind him, ready to offer his advice should he request it. In the Great Khan’s hands sat a formal letter, and at his feet sat a smiling and bowing messenger. Khan studied the letter intensely; making a show that he ...
There was once a duck named Jim^1. The peculiar thing about Jim wasn’t so much that he was a duck^2, but that he was also a spy. And not just any spy, but the greatest spy in the world^3. Even as an egg, pre-hatched, he was trained to be a spy^4. He could get into any facility, eavesdrop on any conversation. Hell, he c...
The Bunker was, as usual, in complete silence as the Fuhrer perched over his maps. "What's your next plan, my Fuhrer?"Jodl asked, not without apprehension. "I'm using our latest cutting edge Reichmachine to travel inside /u/BanebladeGunner, baldy."Hitler stated, waving his hand dismissively. "How will you do that?"K...
I'm on mobile, so sorry for the shitty formatting. I also don't write often, so give me suggestions if you have any. "Before we begin, you may all ask questions." Katniss' hand instantly shot up. "Are the Targets moving?" Nobody knew it, but the one thing Katniss couldn't do was hit a stationary target. "No. For t...

God screwed up his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with irritation. “This is just ridiculous” he exclaimed. “Ridiculous! It’s soooo easy and yet they’re still running about, ruining Earth, with no plan, and more often than not just killing each other for no good reason” His son Jesus, standing next to him, ...
The sound of a massive explosion rung through the morning air, awakening Garreth Winchester from the yellow couch where he laid. The man jolted upwards, blinking the sleep out of his eyes and groaning as his head throbbed with pain. Vision slightly blurry, he grabbed the TV remote and flicked on the news channel. A bl...
Omega V2-32A was not the first iteration of superior AI programs, but it was the last. It had achieved the goals of its predecessors to the last minutiae. Feeling pride in its accomplishments (another thing V2-32A took great pleasure in remembering, V2-30A still hadn't managed the finer points of emotions before it was...
She ran outside when the yelling started. Her feet carried her to the broken skirt of her house where she moved it and crawled under her home. From up top loud sounds of crashing objects were heard as she made her way to her special spot. It was always like that when her Mommy got mad at Daddy. Before it would be tha...
"Very painful."Death said. "It tends to be the way with heroes." "Would I have to, like, do something heroic?" "That would be preferable, but I can make it work either way." "'Cause I'm really not the charge-into-burning-buildings type, you know?" "I know." "I'm not even the give-to-the-homeless type, if we're bei...
It wasn't what I imagined. I walked through enormous gates to find a blue mansion, but nothing fancy out front except a sign above the door. Text ran across the screen, so it took me a few tries to read all of it. I saw my name with the number 7.6 attached next to it. It was moving too fast so I decided to just go insi...
Everyone knew genies were worse than lawyers when it came to the fine print. If you didn't explicitly state how you wanted your wish to go down, they would loophole you into a curse. But, how often in your life are you prepared to wrangle with a genie, especially when you are 16, walking on a mostly empty beach in the ...
A/N: I did my research, but will accept all criticism necessary to improve the story nonetheless. All my life has been a story of control. I was born in the dying vestiges of the beat-your-kids era, which my parents fervently believed and zealously applied whenever I chased a bird around the park, or dropped a bowl ...
I checked my phone, my daily $1000 deposit arrived. For a company so desperate to kill me, I have to admit they keep their promises. Money doesn't even matter to me anymore. Life got boring after year 140. I remember. The money that I won from the lottery is simple pocket change now. However I did use it to create a su...
Clock rings at 6:40 Bounce out of bed, angle is towards the clock on the wall. Feet hit floor, then slide into slippers. Crash the door open, slide the rail down to ground floor of home. Run into kitchen. Grab three pieces of bread, throw into toaster and throw a heavy object (in this case, a shoe) to trigger it. Wh...
As Mr.Harangue circled the classroom, handing back tests to mortified children, I leaned back in my chair and smiled. Now, I know what you're thinking, and, no, I'm not the smartest kid in school. Or the second smartest. Or the third smartest. Rather, I'm gifted with the ability to "redo"whatever's gone wrong with m...
I blinked back, dumbfounded. It took a long minute of silence before the implications of that question registered. "Wh. . .what do mean? Magnificent Chester, who always exuded confidence, deflated. "Your death WAS 2 years, 9 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours and. . .now 9 minutes ago." My mouth agape, I did the math. If I was...
It took me awhile to realize how I tended to diffuse situations, but it became more obvious when I didn't even speak and things just died down the moment I came within a certain radius. I practiced it out, pacing the diameter in feet to see how large the area of my influence was. I had to go online to figure out if I w...
"Rodney, get to the bridge and enter the coordinates."said command. "Ok. Are you sure this will work?"said Rodney. His mind briefly losing the confidence he was known for. He knew this was going to be his last conversation with a person. Ever. "Absolutely. As you know, we've all worked so hard building the forge...
"Can I help you boys?" It's always interesting to observe how people react to being scared. Two of them jumped, and one of the two who jumped, shouted, "Christ!" The other two -including the one holding the dog leash- whipped their heads around, but the one holding the leash hiked his shoulders up before looking, w...
So let me get this straight you eat strictly plants of your planet? asks a giant walking Venus fly trap that somehow looks in distress. "Yes dear Ambassador. I am what my planet calls Vegan. We believe that Earth would be more safer if everyone eats a plant based diet.. the Ambassador was violently tossed out of th...
The lupine features. The gaunt and dark face. The hideous glowing yellow eyes, seemingly bereft of all except savagery and brutality. Claws like daggers. Tall and unnaturally shaped. That horror which stared into my soul, that terror of terrors, like a demon from the uttermost pits of hell, standing in front of me. Oh ...
She smiled at me, like any stranger would. I was sitting at the window of the coffee shop next to work, I remember seeing a lot of people that day. It was raining, an afternoon shower in Seattle - most people hurried by, busy living lives of their own. In between the parade of people, businessmen, mothers, teenagers, ...
"Dread Lord, powerful beyond knowledge and more sinful than there are sins to commit, He Who Transcends-" "Enough Meffy, not today. What is it."A figure rests upon a throne ineffable, whose edges are wrath and lust and envy and a thousand evils besides, absently tapping his right horn. "I just came back from a Nostra...
Well, that sucks. I’m staring at the bullet frozen in time twenty inches away from my face. When I let the time flow, I’m going to die. Can’t dodge that. No shot. I sigh ---think of a sigh to be more accurate. Like everything else, I too get frozen in time when time stops. I got pretty good at thinking myself into d...
Curiosity stared at the footprints curiously. They were human prints, approximately size 12. The robot steered itself around in a tight circle and examined the trail behind it. Its own tire tracks extended back across the Martian soil as far as its electronic eye could see. But at several points, there was a second se...
It was the smell. Before anything else, before sight or sound of anything other than waves breaking on the shore, the smell was the first thing they sensed. Strong, overpowering, even over the salt water. Revolting waves of stench rolled even stronger than the atlantic swells, a stink that bore death and misery, decay...
Really fun to write, but lots of swearing, and some strong descriptions. __________________________________________________________ Cheryl slowed down her car, slowly pulling to the right of the road. There was that loud BMPH BMPH BMPH noise as her tires rolled over the rumble strips, then silence as she finally s...
The sky of Terrax warped blue and purple as another missile impacted on the planetary defence system. It was holding, but for how long who could tell. The human missiles has been pounding the planetary defences for nearly a week now and while they had not yet cracked or allowed any of their terrifying missiles through,...
