[WP] Two men are overlooking the city and admiring the beauty of the madness they have brought upon it.
Checks and sums. Addition, subtraction, multiplication. Life can be summed into a neat and arbitrary mathematical equation; Add all of the good, subtract all of the bad, and multiply the sum by a certain J'en Sais Quoi. As Vivian overlooked her, and Raum's, handiwork she couldn't help but mentally start marking her ...

"See Jack," Cameron starts, taking a last bite into his apple before tossing it over the ledge, "This is us. This is it. This is what we've created, and we should be damn proud of it."

We both looked from the top of a glass building to a equally chaotic city. My friend took a long drag out of his cigarette. The only noise breaking the sound of burning wood and crashing glass was the sound of the police and military radio between us *"This is the 92nd N.E.X. Squadron. We have secured 3rd Street. ...

The Underbrush was burning. Everybody with half a brain in their body was hiding, waiting for the fighting to die down. Out in the streets, thugs and soldiers from the Big Three were locked in a rolling battle with each other and everybody else. Every smaller organization was out there, too, trying to carve a piece for...

I checked the buckles on my dove's harness. The morning patrol was due back in less than ten minutes, and I was flying the afternoon shift.

[WP] A manned expedition to Hell for science. You choose the ending.
I awake with a start, coughing and clawing at burning gravel. I’m face down, scraping my face in it. My neck is frozen in pain, my nostrils and lungs burn. My legs mangled and useless. Something went wrong. There was an explosion. I try to right myself. The glass shield of my helmet is gone, shattered away. I feel aro...

[WP] A manned expedition to Hell for science. You choose the ending.
There are realms, reality frames, and other dimensions Within this reality frame there are many dimensions, and realms. You can think of Heaven, Earth and Hell as three distinct realms within this reality frame. The angels in heaven watched the Earth and could see into the edge of hell. It is the desire of the crea...

[WP] [CC] A difficult moral decision
Wow. I actually wasn't expecting much from this at first glance. In my mind I was thinking that there was no way something described as a "difficult moral choice" couldn't use some more stretching beyond two paragraphs. But I was quickly proven wrong. I also greatly enjoyed the open ending, leaving it a mystery who he ...

[WP] [CC] A difficult moral decision
It's good! I like the concept and you've done well to show some pace and emotion. The ambiguous ending is great! As always, there are a few spots you can tighten up. Please note that the following are my opinions and mine alone. I am not a professional and we may aim for different targets in how we write and who we wr...

[EU] Godzilla appears in Pacific Rim.
The screech that all of Japan knows by heart rips through the air. Its followed by earth shaking stomps and then a large building topples. Standing in its place is Godzilla, tail whip lashing through the air like some kind of serrated club. His rampage continues towards the next tallest building in the area. It's almos...

[WP] Tears In Rain
*Did anyone notice me?*, I thought. The streets were all washed out, covered in ice that darkly glowed from the sour tang of the orange lamplights overhead. It was cold- too cold for anybody to be out, especially this late. *This late or this early? I mean it was technically morning, but nobody really says that, righ...

[WP] Tears In Rain
The room is small. Barely enough space for a couch, a desk and a closet. Every corner is covered in spiderwebs. The same spiderwebs were in the same corners ten years ago, when he rented the place. They're black from dust now. He always looks at them while drinking in the middle of the night. "Maybe..." It's alwa...

[WP] Aliens come to Earth just after the Rapture happens and Hell is literally on earth.
"Lieutenant, report." "We'll be boarding The Magnificent soon, General. All signs show that the ship is in working condition. The crew are still onboard, but have made no signs of aggression." "It could be a trap." General Kho-ez rubbed his mandibles thoughtfully. "Prepare docking tubes. Proceed with Protocol 25-B....

"I won't lie, it's what we in the biz call a 'fixer-upper', but I really think this planet has potential." "Can you tell us a little about it's history?" "Well it's a standard floor plan for this part of the galaxy - accretion and bombardment foundation, rock and oceans half a billion years in, life a billion years i...

[WP] You have a dream where you meet a man who claims he can travel through dreams
I've been having the same dream lately. It's one I had before. I have to get up early to get to work, but I can't. And the more I try to arrive to work, the later it gets. In my dreams it is evening already, six o'clock when the store would be closing. I get there and try to make excuses. The blob-like entity that repr...

[WP] You have a dream where you meet a man who claims he can travel through dreams
I find myself in a room. It looks like a fancy hotel ballroom, just much, much smaller. There is a piano in the top-right corner (relatively speaking of course), French doors that lead out to a garden, and double doors on either side of the room. There are 8 different doors, with four exits. A young girl, who can't be ...

[WP] You have a dream where you meet a man who claims he can travel through dreams
My first submission, hope you like it. ”Wow, this is a lively one.” I looked up at the man who had just spoken. Some distance behind him a tree was transforming from an ordinary oak into a purple multi-tentacled monster. It was a rare occurrence that one of the multiple people wandering around in my dreams spoke to m...

[WP] You have a dream where you meet a man who claims he can travel through dreams
First try at doing this. I think I was sitting on my balcony, admiring the architectural feats of the construction workers across from me. I heard footsteps behind me. *I locked the front gate, didn't I?* Even if I didn't, I would've heard a sound of the door open. I didn't, though. "This guy seems interesting." I...

[WP] You've seen ghosts and spirits your whole life. However, they never talked to you, until today.
Ask a person what they would become if they could see the dead, and you'd normally get the token answers. "Mad", they'd say, or "Dead myself". Occasionally, you'd get thoughtful looks and "A detective?" or "One of those psychic guys you pay money to to talk to dead people". So, naturally, I became a mathematician. Th...

“Hey.” said the voiceless voice. Jeremy kept walking. “Hey! I’m talking to you Jeremy.” Jeremy faltered on his next step. He looked around and saw hundreds of people in the hallway. Hundreds of people occupying a space fit for twenty. Jeremy could have sworn he had heard his name called. In reality he did. Jeremy de...

[WP] You've seen ghosts and spirits your whole life. However, they never talked to you, until today.
They were always there, for as long as I can remember. Some were walking around, minding their own business, some were just standing as if contemplating on something. Never, ever was there an interaction between their ghastly transparent figures and 'real world'. My parents took me to psychologists and later on to psyc...

[WP] You've seen ghosts and spirits your whole life. However, they never talked to you, until today.
At first I told myself it was just the wind. The moaning doggind my walk home just the sighing of trees. For someone who has been comfortable *seeing* ghosts all my life, I was awfully closed minded about them starting to speak. Looking back, I think they had been trying to communicate with me for a while . But in ...

[WP] You've seen ghosts and spirits your whole life. However, they never talked to you, until today.
You begin to know what they look like, after a while. Depression is a bulgingly fat man, sitting plopped on the shoulders. He winks at you, floats so easy from person to person. I remember attending a funeral where he floated gracefully from person to person, laughing. Laughing like a demented, obese cherub. Anorexia ...

[WP] Two kids stay in an abandoned house overnight. In the morning, one believes in the supernatural while the other doesn't.
When I was younger, there was an old abandoned cranberry farm where we used to play. The ponds outside that made up the cranberry fields had long been abandoned and turned to a sour muck that carried the smell of rotting vegetation and vinegar throughout the farming compound. On a hillside, above the gooey swamps of st...

Ben's arm knocked over a beer can, causing it to spiral down the hallway, disturbing the dirt that hadn't been touched in years. He laughed nervously as his eyes were glued to the fog of dust, rolling and touching each corner. Karen's eyes were glued to Ben, taking in the gum stuck to his Nike shoes to the one strand o...

[WP] Two kids stay in an abandoned house overnight. In the morning, one believes in the supernatural while the other doesn't.
Floorboards creaked as I pushed myself up off the puddle of drool underneath my face, the imprint of dilapidated hardwood on my cheek. The sun was up now, spotlighting the dust motes dancing in front of the window on the way to our Ouija board. I sat up too fast and my head swam in the sea of beer we embarked upon las...
