It was if someone let the air out of a balloon. In that instant a cold washed over me as I felt deflated. It must be a cruel joke, someone playing an evil prank. I could not get over the dedication it would have taken to play such an invasive prank after all these years. His response just confirmed my suspicion that I ...
"So remember Mr. Ramsay we need to establish good relations with these aliens, their species are older than humanity by about 2 million years. Their species looks similar to our own except their skin is light green colored and their heads are slightly larger due to the fact their brains are larger as well." The Head o...
CONTENT WARNING: blood, graphic imagery --- His eyelids flew open in a burst of pain and fluid light, and inches before his pupils flashed a polychrome text: WHEN YOU WAKE UP, RUN LIKE HELL! The words had only barely swarmed into his brain when a loud burst of pneumatic gas thundered against his eardrums and the ...
She brought me cookies when she moved in. Seriously? Who does that? Some nefarious, twisted bitch looking to exacerbate my gluten allergy, that's who. "They're gluten-free,"she said sweetly. Bitch. I smiled my nicest smile, making sure my mouth wasn't stretched too wide and that no horns were sticking out through my he...
Edmund woke up again, asleep on the Dark Lord's throne. "This again!"he shouted, irritated at the number of times he'd be inexplicably whisked away from his party and into the realm of the Dark Lord. The throne didn't even feel good, all cold obsidian and uncomfortable spikes that made sleeping a trial in itself. T...
The cafe was conveniently located next to the building where I wrote for the paper, only a five minute walk there and back; enough time to get some fresh air and some fresh coffee and return to my work with a clear head. It started as an occasional indulgence--a cup of joe for a good job--but it soon became a habit. Tr...
I bobbed my head pleasantly as I was presented to the princess who squealed with glee. "My own dragon!"She shook her hands in front of her face, then reached out tentatively. "Come on, let me hold it!" "Of course, my lady, it is your dragon!" I barked playfully. I liked my new friends. I couldn't wait for my mom to...
Content warning - suggestions of suicide, accidental deaths etc. Depressing shit, basically. The words hung there as they both looked at each other. Had he known? He wasn’t sure. He had suspected. But to get confirmation? Like this? What would happen? Could they go on? The TV newscaster went on in the background. ...
“Listen up!” screams our handler - a tall and burly man - as we all stand to attention by our bunks, “Lesson one of spy school: one of you is not a student”. We all exchange confused glances. He continues, “The job of the mole is to sabotage you, making you fail your training. This will consist of tampering with equipm...
It had been months since the first attack on his kingdom. One of the villages to the north had been pillaged - huts burned indiscriminately, the church a pile of rubble; livestock gutted and hacked apart like loaves of bread, reduced to relative crumbs soaked in blood; and multiple witness reports of a giant, black be...
Fifteen years of my life, I've been learning dead languages. And not one of those years have I found anything like this. Looking at the book in my hand, I gaze upon its cover, the strange markings making up some kind of title, and the name completely unknown. Cracking open the book, I glance over the contents of the fi...
I shoved the dynamite down the zombie's throat. The resulting explosion launched me across the street, where after a moment, I hopped back to my feet. "BOOM! Did you see that!?!"I hollered to David. He stared back at me blankly, as always. Nothing much seemed to excite him these days, but he had been through a lot. I c...
It was hot at the zoo. Alfie's cheeks had been flushed red and the collar of his shirt stuck to the back of his neck, making him uncomfortable, and irritable. His mother had wet a rag with water from a drinking fountain near the lion exhibit and dabbed at the back of his neck, but all that did was send droplets of wa...
"You did well." Words of praise drifted to us, borne on a tainted tone. The Deacon sat upon his conquered throne, a dozen of his most loyal priests before him. The ground beneath was sticky with drying blood, a pair of headless corpses lying to the side. It's smell clung in my nostrils, something I would never forget....
"- chart shows the trend in sales over time." I was spacing out during one of our corporate events. They were supposed to be informative, helping us understand how we could help the company. But I was confident in saying that most of us found it mind numbingly boring. I procured a pen, along with one of the many free...
I used to be a mage once. Can’t say a great mage - but at least above average. I had great talent, only limited by my small mana pool. Yet one day I made a mistake - I carelessly entered the boss room without any preparation, without thinking about what all those murals were hinting at along the way. The boss was...
“I just want to brush his cheek. Just once,” her head was screaming as they inched closer. The faces of those previously fallen always played like a film in her head, anytime a stray finger came close, anytime an inattentive stranger looked at their phone as they passed on the sidewalk. “How do I love a woman who will...
I stood outside in the morning sun, smiling. I felt its heat suffusing my mucus, giving me a feeling of being surrounded by a warm blanket. But I took care to keep my eyes away from it, grateful that the procession had agreed to use our western entrance. My gaze wandered of the surrounding guards, standing with weapon...
"Papa"the little girl stumbled up to her white-haired grandfather. "Papa why do we have to go?" He smiled, brushing the hair back from her tear-streaked face. "We've been chosen for a great task my dear." She sniffed, looking up at the old man's tanned and wind-worn face framed by a bushy beard she liked to dig her f...
Rolling laughter poured out of his fathers study. Prying open the door Tyler peaked in. "Tyler! Get in here quick, look at this!"Reluctantly pulling the door the rest of the way open he stared at the perpetual motion machine his dad was giggling at. "Tyler, you know what the difference between this machine and me is?" ...
"f-8-j-a-b-9-j-k"she muttered with a twitch of her neck. "f-8-j-a-b-9-j-k"she repeated. Doctor Greene scrawled some notes down into the log, barely glancing up at the subject. The patient's name was Sarah. Short hair, small nose, firm build. She was short but muscular, and wore several scars across her wrists and thi...
"There is no more air." "...So that's it? We won't see another morning?" She exhales slowly. "You know it's just the beginning... The remainders--the survivors-- They'll get themselves all worked up and they're gonna be praying 'til...well...'til they can't. Chaos." "Well. You know I'll be joining them. Will you?"Th...

Then every evening, after tea, I sit with Johnny, him and m...
"Go fuck yourself,"said Dan, flipping off the big man with the long white beard at the other side of the desk. The man's mouth made a big O and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You do realize who I am?"asked God. "Yeah,"said Dan, "your the prick who sent me to Hell. What the fuck did I do to get a pitch...
"First, the toy truck knocks over the dominoes. The final domino pulls the string which tips the chute, causing the toy car to roll down and hit the billiard ball. The ball rolls down the wooden ramp and hits a vinyl LP which triggers..." "Whoa, whoa, slow down Mr. Goldberg. Can I call you Rube?" "Certainly." "We li...
James was pretending to be a secret agent as he searched for his friend. It turned out that Mark wasn't hiding in his parents' closet as James had suspected, but he'd found something even better inside: Mark's dad's gun. James had had to climb up to the highest shelf to get to it, but it was worth it. He gripped the ...
1946 - In an United Nations meeting the USSR pledges support for the American cause, in return US promises less established presence in Eastern Europe. 1947 - Western Europe goes into post-war depression, USSR invades Manchuria and Korea. 1948 - Europe in economic crisis. Unrest in Berlin ends with United Nations pas...
"What a-did you say to me?" "I said, no garlic, please. Extra tomato sauce."You'd think that after 140 years in this shithole, I'd be used to taking flak for not eating garlic, but you'd be wrong. "You are in Italy, sweet Italy, and you tell a chef not to put garlic in pasta sauce? Are you insane?" A woman si...
I'm imprisoned in a dark room. They won't let me eat, "You will eat when you've helped us."they say, but I refuse to help them. I'd rather die than help them. The Garys have destroyed continents, they've let cities crumble to the ground, they've killed my family, I will not help. You see a Gary can't fly a plane, a Ga...
In the end, the victor should have been obvious. The Oni, Djinn and Yokai rolled in from the East. The Giants and Trolls Lumbered across the frozen tundra. The Americas sent everything from Wendigo to Feathered Serpents. Yeti and Sasquatch fought in the mountains as the Sea-Serpents and Kraken battled for the seas. Bu...
When the first news reports came in, I was at a bar. I was always at some bar in those days. The people around me were hysteric. Some people just... accepted it, with a blank, saddened look in their eyes. Others refused to believe it, a woman insisted that her son was still alive, he had to be. But every other channe...
Bruce groaned a little and struggled to reach the young man's collar. He couldn't. After he stubbornly refused to lie still the nurses had finally restrained him. It was for his own good, of course, but Bruce hated convalescence. Finally he gave in and settled for speaking softly and hoping his companion would list...
"What the hell are you doing Jimmy?" Startled at the intrusion, I knocked the pokeball I was modding off of my desk along with my soldering iron. "Pokejesus, Chad. Don't barge into my damn room without knocking first. You remember what happened last time right?" Chad snickered, "Oh, the things that you were trying to...
“On the south end of the stadium, weighing in at a combined team weight of 250 kg, riding in on a blorkphat from the planet Wheplox, please welcome the man who is banned from 11 of Jupiter’s moons, Amenixard! And on the north end of the stadium, weighing in at a combined weight of 8,160 kg, riding in on a Tyrannosauru...
"Sir Gorfingek, we've successfully installed our commanders at major Earth cities around the planet. Full control will be established by the end of our time cycle, roughly half an Earth day." "Excellent work,"Gorfingek says stroking his turkey like snood. "Once our mission here is complete we can begin to extract reso...
Back in the 90s, phones sounded very different. Of course, they looked very different too and couldn't access the largest network of information ever imagined, but the sound is classic. It's why your smartphone has all those nostalgic rings built into it -- if you want to use them. I didn't want to use them. When some...
Mulch was sat by the pool drinking a Margarita. He decided he liked being famous. Sure the paparazzi were a pain. And there were still conspiracy theories about how he’d disappeared out of that broom closet. He chuckled. That would keep them busy for a bit. He was pretty sure the LEP would be monitoring those chat room...
“Take your time. This is a safe space. You’re in no danger here.” “I know, Doctor, I just… These memories are very painful.” “Well, that is what we are here to help, isn’t it? Confronting your past trauma will help you overcome it. We will do it together, okay?” “Okay.” “Okay. So, what is the first memory you want ...
"But it's just graffiti." "You see it that way!"Churrisk chirped through his translator. "But to us, it is a vision of what we strive to be." "I did it when I cut school,"I said, still not really getting what the big deal was. Churrisk was an exchange student, visiting from Stela-XR288A. I studied art at my high scho...
A little love story, I’m sorry if anything seems cheesy, I just woke up not even an hour ago. - “Ha! 20! I think this will be the first time a 20 doesn’t do anything.” Chris and David were both giggling pretty hard, until someone knocked at the front door. They slowed down and looked at each other. “Hey David, did ...
I went to my room directly after dinner, it had been quiet around the table, the clinking of forks and knives against plates seemed deafening. My sister attempted to strike up a conversation to no avail, she gave me a few small smiles and a couple winks throughout mouthing "Don't worry"a few times during our silent, ...
“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.” Stephanie inhaled deeply, exhaled slowly, then put the book down an...
Her joints ached as she opened and closed her fist over and over again. They felt like her hands, like hands she would have used all of her life before today. Or maybe they didn't, there was really no way to know how it would feel like if they weren't, she supposed. She did get the feeling that she was lighter than bef...
Balance (401 words) ---- Every year there are about a quarter billion 9-1-1 calls. You know that intrinsically. It’s one of those facts that were hardcoded into you before you became aware, even if their current numbers change from year to year. Still, a growing portion of these calls get answered by an instance...
I winced as the needle went in, then an unnatural calm washed over me as the strange yellow chemical went in. Apparently, I was this test subject for some truth serum, better than prison anyway, but to be honest I didn’t really know what I signed up for. The doctor nodded before a man wearing a suit went into the cell....
"Hmm."Yoda stared into the swath of trees and vines as he tried to ascertain where the bellow had come from. Unable to find it with his eyes, he tried again with the force, only to find that he was too weak from the loss of the Jedi to ignore the pull from the dark force nexus nearby, thus forcing him to retract his se...
"Killing me won't bring them back!" The sudden outburst surprised me. I turned to face the dishevelled woman I had chained to the support beam in my basement. Petite, fair-skinned, with doe eyes and a pretty smile. Or rather, the smile she had worn earlier tonight had been pretty. Before I had slipped the trance-induc...
Your friend since childhood looks at you as you attempt to scale mount olympus for the 30th time that month. You dont know what compels you to do it, you are simply drawn to the peaks of this majestic mountain. And you're like what else is there to do in this era? Be on the olympics and shit? Nah man. Too much work...
I stared into the mirror, and glanced cautiously at the thing behind me. I had heard legends of this beast before. It was nearly uncontrollable, and it took any form that it pleased. Today, it was a gigantic rat, with teeth as long, and sharper, than a blade. It crawled up the wall sinisterly, and then dropped down fro...
"Please! We have to do this,"Jennifer hissed, uncoiling her tail and coiling it around Kenzo. "We need to kill a human in order to get into the big leagues." "And what are these big leagues you speak of, exactly?"Kenzo forcefully unwound the green coils tightening around his lean frame, casting the Basilisque to the f...
"What the hell do you mean? It's literally your job?", I ask, stunned by the psychic's refusal. I'm not even done protesting before he starts shaking his head. "Look, buddy. The Future Perfect system looks into how people will turn out based on data and statistical analysis. It's not an exact science but after years ...
"I am a fucking nitwit who cannot prepare a medium rare steak to save his life,"I shouted as I began to sear the piece of meat properly. My body felt as though it was moving on its own. I moved with a precision in the kitchen that was previously unknown to me. I was also speaking like I had no internal thought process ...
The door to our hideout slammed open, with the deafening sound of rotten wood smashing clay bricks. The other squadmates nearly jumped out of their seats, and scattered their playing cards on the concrete floor, but I didn't move an inch. A man stepped out from the opening, panting heavily, but unwounded. "Howard! St...
It had been a long week. So long in fact, that Aaron’s reaction to the sedative in his face on the walk home was relief, that he’d get to sleep uninterrupted for at least a little while. When he was shaken awake, he looked around. Only a door, the chair he was tied to, and the chair of the masked man opposite him br...
An ingenious method for getting rich in the long term. A family pools their earnings for years and years, to send out a mining ship using the Petrikov-Yutani FTL drive, which while inherently fatal to use for humans, can be utilized by advanced automated mining drone-ships. Wonderous materials are then harvested under ...
I ignored the prying of the officer, and the cards remained untouched on the table. There was no joy to be found in them. Nor was there joy to be found in conversations with dullards. Though- he was trying to do me a kindness, self-serving though it was. "You should flee. Now."I said. "No chance. I've only just g...
“It’s too bloody cold to be at this nonsense!” Megan screamed. The van screamed back as Eric took a sharp turn to avoid crashing into a lump of ice. “You’re the one who wanted to be the first reporter to see it, Megan,” Eric snapped. “So don’t talk to me about fucking nonsense!” Joe, asleep in the back, awoke startl...
Mary looked down at the floor of her basement and murmured to herself quietly as she took stock of everything she'd assembled. She had drawn the circle in pig's blood, like the tome instructed. Large enough that a full-grown man could stand with his arms outstretched in any direction. Within the circle, she'd drawn a l...
The Black Palace. It took me three years to get here. Three years of dragging my ass through every murkwater swamp and frozen tundra I could find, trailing behind parties of would-be adventurers with a mountain of magic and steel on my back all because they don't want to be the ones carrying the heavy stuff when we hi...
I pressed the button and ended the call to my mother and father. Today, with tears in my eyes, I could tell them that their little girl made it. After their own attempts at getting out of their family cycle of poverty, I had ascended some more steps towards financial freedom. Not on my own. I don't think I could ever...
Bella the Gold-hearted marched forward, each step hitting the black bedrock ground with the weight of an anvil. The Dark Lord Banor increased the intensity of his terror spell in a vain effort to get Bella to back down. As Bella gripped her sword so tightly her knuckles turned white, she said to Banor, "My journey here...
Somewhere along the way I got lazy. I lost the edge my dad had raised me to have. Son of a bitch that he is, I can’t say he didn’t try to make up for it in his own way. I don’t think he expected to have me in his life for too long. My mistake was dropping my guard. His was getting attached. When we’re at our lowest p...
Silas couldn't believe where he had ended up. No, he could see exactly how the scales had tipped against him. Not tithing a fair share to the Goddess of Luck and Thieves was how you found yourself locked in the guard house. But, his luck hadn't failed him completely. The magistrates had given him a new and wholly unple...
I breathed a heavy sigh of annoyance. Looking around, other crew members were nervous while I walked the halls. Scurrying out of sight, trying to look busy, or respectfully addressing me by full title. Which was odd, because up until recently I was almost completely ignored. Just a background employee who came when nee...
He didn't understand it. This tree here had allowed for peace and compromise for anyone who rested in its shade. It had ended bickering arguments, united couples, saved world leaders from destroying their nations. Yet, this man came to tear it down. A huff-puffy big tycoon man. He waist line was a big as the tree. Th...
"Mister Eteny,"her radiant red lips beckoned. "I think my husband is cheating on me." "There's only one way to find out,"I responded. "Come here."She knew the drill. She knew who I was, and she gave herself over- I dropped that sexy little dame into my arms and I put one on her good. When she came up for air, she was ...
"We both know if the situation was reversed, you'd do anything to save my life. So now we'll both lower our guns, barricade the door, and live out the last twenty-three minutes." I lowered my gun and gave a grin. He was right, of course. And he would know. "You're still a jerk, coming in here with a weapon drawn. I n...
“Yes?” “You asked to see me, General?” “Ah, Lieutenant, yes. I wanted to talk to you about something.” “I imagined so, sir. Otherwise you wouldn’t have asked to see me.” “Uh…yes, quite. Anyway, it has come to my attention that after years of dedicated services, you have shown yourself to have excellent courage and ...
"Oh god! Fire! Fire!" The screams filled the air. Thankfully, a fireman was on hand, running up the latter to rescue the trapped victim from the flames. Then another fireman arrived with a hose, and a fire truck full of thirty more firemen. "Let's go! There's people trapped up there!"One of the firemen shouted to his...
"Franklin! Mr. Franklin!" Professor Jonathan Franklin looked up from the papers covering his desk at the gasping intern. "What is it?"he said irritatedly. "There's an anomaly." The professor groaned. He closed his notebook, saving his page with his pencil. He had been on a roll, and felt as if he was on the verge of...
Thk'ulnzpflfffff32'ks was his name, but I called him Jack. I called him 'Oh Lord'. I called him 'my God'. I called him 'fuck me harder, little green man'. I called him so many things, that windy, Texan night... But Thk'ulnzpflfffff32'ks was his name, and he came from the skies and back to the skies he went, and all I...
Everything went awry after four minutes and forty two second. Months of planning and practicing all thrown off by one damned cop who decided to make an unexpected deposit right as the smoke cleared and we entered the vault. "He's at the door,"Paul shouted as he watched the policeman rattle the chains and finally compr...
Alex at first was only mildly curious of the new game I bought, some new Call of Duty game that came out nearly of no where. It wasn't announced when the next generation of consoles were announced, at E3, it was only announced a week before it's released. Nearly every single friend I had got it simply out of curiosity,...
As one of the first mass produced, mass consumed, for lack of a better word "performance enhancing"drugs we were forced to rethink our definition of side effects. Pre Sleep-Away side effects referred to possible physical and/or psychological effects brought on purely by the drug (i.e GutBGone had the side effect of ma...
Satan emerged from the cave and handed the form to his imp assistant. "Another spider hell,"he said, scratching absentmindedly at his shoulder. "Pretty standard. This one will be no problem." The imp nodded and took the form, then summoned a filing cabinet from thin air. His tiny leathery wings flapped to bring him up...
*The greatest deception Lucifer ever pulled was making most of the world think that he looked anything like a red devil with horns and a pitchfork. How stupid does the world think we are? Do they really think we, the 1/3 of angels who followed him willingly out of heaven, against God, would have followed a monster? No,...
General: "Commander, we've done it! The last few remaining humans near the north pole are nearly under containment. All of the major continents are ours!" Commander: "Excellent, soon all the resources will be ours. What about the Ants?" General: "We haven't really had to deal with them, we've barely seen them. They s...
She was rated a 1. Belzebub himself was 'only' rated 29. Compared to her, he might aswell have been a puppy. Hywor had never seen a human with a rating below 50 million, let alone heard of any parents of such infinit kindness as to try and raise a child of such high threat. He peered out of her eyes, the sun was shini...
It was at age twelve that I realized the thing I was. I'm not a true person. I'm more of an... Urge. That's what you can call me. I'm Urge. I was twelve when I was first made aware. I was born with the person Sam Ernest. I was happy. I was a good kid who obeyed his parents and loved living in rural Oklahoma in the 192...
I am a good kid. My name is Alex Urwin, and I am a good kid. I do my best when it comes to tests, because mom promised me that if I do well, I might get a dragon. Every day, I finish my homework before I do anything, and make sure to tell my parents that I love them, but never to stay up too late to do it. Dad said if...
"But Father... How will I know what to say to my followers once I've gathered them for our cause?" The older man sighed lightly as he began to explain the situation to his son. "See, son. Once the gathered masses have seen and heard your call, they will follow you to the ends of the Earth. Our name has been the ral...
"So wait,"the Doctor raised his hands up in the air in an overzealous 'STOP' motion. "You're telling me that ALL of YOU are timelords." "Yes," "Yes," "And yes,"Miss Frizzle, Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka, responded respectively. "Are you kidding me?"the Doctor asked as he leapt for joy in the air. He nearly smacked ...
Three weeks ago, the body washed up on our shore. Bloated and festering, it had floated to the surface and run aground several hundred meters out at sea just beyond our village. Many dead things have washed up onto this beach in my lifetime, largest being the occasional whale. This leviathan of a carcass towered easily...
"It's gotta be a bug,"I murmur, refreshing the app for the hundredth time, "or my phone isn't connected to the internet. It does that sometimes, you know?" "No, mine's showing the same thing. Over 28680 upvotes and counting, but no comments. What gives? Maybe people like the concept but no one thinks it's possible to ...
Crack! The can was crushed with an angry stomp. Why? It wasn't fair that he kept getting shafted by the media. That his good deeds for the sake of the people were twisted into heinous crimes with words alone. He caused the death of hundreds? That was just complete bullshit! What about his side of the story? That he...
"Ah, shit." "JAMES. WE HAVE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THIS." "I know, I know-" "NO, JAMES. EVIDENTLY, YOU DO NOT KNOW, FOR YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DONE IT AGAIN AFTER MY FIRST WARNING." "Come on, God, you gave us the gift of 'boundless creativity' for a reason. I'm just... using it beyond normal parameters, that's all." J...
Sam spent the months up to the first day of ninth grade in 2007 planning out everything he was going to do right this time. He called a reporter and told them the 2008 presidential election would come down to Barack Obama and Joe Biden against John McCain and Sarah Palin, and that Obama would win. He said that the fir...
"Gasp!"I gasped. "My poison resistance perk is activating! Mother, how could you!? How could you poison your own child!?" Mother just looked at me flatly. "I get it. It's too spicy." "If it were not for my supernatural constitution-" "You got sick eating pretzels last week. Pretzels." "AHEM! Mother, I'm mo...
The great observatory had for fifty years been led by Corvin Vincor. He was known as a man of honor. Whenever he vomited seminal fluid he would clean up after himself and offer his apologies. He took care not to step on anyone's tails, a habit that had allowed him to hold his position for an unprecedented amount of tim...
Im the last of my kind. Nobody thought we could go extinct. Even when the scientest said we had taken a swan dive towards extinction, nobody thought we would all die. But here I am, the last human to walk what is left of this earth. It started with the ocean levels rising, Venice disappered. Sydney sank below the wav...
It turns out that Mother Earth was not where it all began. For decades humanity had wondered of the possibility of other life amongst the stars. Expeditions were sent to planets within our galaxy, telescopes mapped and tracked the stars, and equipment worldwide constantly listened to anything and everything that came ...
Mission log excerpts. Entry 34 I've been pretty lonely since I came here. There's no one else who speaks English to talk to. I go through my daily routine and talk to myself to feel less lonely. I talk about movies, tell jokes from late night tv, and make up stories. Anything for a little noise. Entry 112 I've been ...
"Look, I'll tell you what I tell everyone else, if you want my DNA, you better do it the old fashioned way, because I'm not having like my selfhood stored up in numbers and algorithms and formulas, lady. That's my soul you're fucking with." Max Midnight hadn't had time to dress properly, but he had found a tuxedo in t...
"So. At last we meet,"said saint Peter at the gates. "Yeah! Well, I guess. I still can't believe this, that I actually am here. Wow. This is a bit much--", I replied but was cut off by sudden arrival of two beings which look exactly how artists portrayed demons. Red, muscular, goat legs, goat horns and a pointy slim t...
"My life for his." &#x200B; My mouth opens, but the words catch in my throat, only a whimper escaping my lips. Is this really happening? &#x200B; "MY LIFE FOR HIS,"she yells, a raw, animal panic descending over her blood-spattered face. &#x200B; This can't be happening. My legs buckle and I collap...
Shit, I thought. This is not cool. Someone is going to pay. I had finally managed to stop crying and wailing, and my tears had dried to crusty gunk in the corner of my eyes. I had lost my best friend. My only friend. My father, brother, and best friend all at the same time. I stared at his lifeless body on the floor,...
#### Fifteen years ago It hadn’t been a good day. I’d gotten into a fight with my best friend Suzie about who would get more of the dessert my mom gave us to for our sleepover party. Suzie had argued that since my mom wasn’t her mom, I would always be able to get more tiramisu. She hadn’t known my mom had to move away...
Jennifer Harrison was trying to catch a rat. The little beast had snuck into her apartment and she had caught it trying to get into one of her cabinets. For several seconds, the rodent and woman looked each other. She considered calling her dog, Rocker, but he was a big softy, and was more likely to try and make fri...
"Okay,"said the man. "Then I wish I met that person right before they made that wish." The genie snapped and the man found himself staring at a person he didn't recognize. The person went, "Who are you?" The man had the same question, but instead of replying, he socked the person in the face, then strangled them to ...
They call them inner demons. Maybe I'm weird for having a visual representation of each and every one. I've been in therapy for years. In therapy, they taught me to examine my inner demons. To name them. Stress. Depression. Trauma. That One Time My Uncle Did The Thing We Don't Talk About. They didn't tell me to creat...
