Word of advice. If you ever consider learning to Time Travel, **DON’T.** Just… don’t. Seriously, it’s nice for about the first five minutes of your perspective. You can literally do whatever you want when you want to do it. Want to sleep in, go ahead. Whenever you wake up, you can just Time-Travel back to when your al...

"Well, we haven't made any headway on treating your heart disease and the diabetes is getting considerably more advanced. I'm telling you for the last time, if you don't get some exercise, you'll die." He was staring at my chart, only looking up at me sparingly. I could tell he's had to use this same condescending to...

"Telepathy is hard to live with. Really hard," said Joe as he stretched out on the comfy chair in the office. He looked out the window and quickly turned away. Sarah raised an eyebrow, "Did it just happen? With the man walking outside," she asked while taking notes. "Yes." Joe sighed. "I suddenly felt all of his anx...

In retrospect, I'm rather lucky to be alive. Not in the usual way, I mean there was literally a 97% chance of me leaving a trail of innards between here and San Francisco. I guess it would have been hilarious, for me at least. Just imagine, everyone has gotten rained on, heck, even vomited on if they frequent amuseme...

"So tell me why you're here." I sighed for the eight hundredth time that day. "I don't have a good reason to be here. This was court mandated again, and not for the first time." "Well, according to my file, you have claimed some pretty impossible things." "What are they telling you now?" "That you remember, vividly...

He’d had his special ability for almost a year now. He never could have imagined how it would have changed his life when he chose it. John’s origin story wasn’t too complicated. He came across a really old book one day that was full of really odd inscriptions. At first, they made no sense, but then he could magically u...

All the while, that fucking asshole Doyle was probably high-fiving his friends, maybe sneaking out for a victory smoke. He wanted so badly to ruin this moment of triumph for Doyle, his mind jumping suddenly to his fathers hunting knife. This part confused me. Do you mean Andrew Kelly?

This is a story that is supposed to carry some weight maybe hit the reader kind of hard. I feel like it could use some trimming, to that effect. There are a lot of personal asides. Something goes on, and a character thinks about the past, or what's going on somewhere else, or what will happen in the future. It takes aw...

[WP]Georgia, 1903. A Baptist minister, armed with a Bible, an axe and two pistols, waits for sundown at a crossroads, where he intends to confront the Devil.
The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal When he came across this preacher with a gun in each hand and eyes burnin' hot. And the Devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said "Father, let me tell you what." "I bet yo...

Father Dean Samuels might as well have been staring into a mirror. The man in front of him bore an identical preacher's robes, bore the same drooping white mustache, and squinted, and wore the same weather-beaten face. The imposter idly toyed with a pentagram around his neck, a twisted mockery of Dean's gold cross. Th...

He waits. The minister dreamed this place, felt it calling to him last night, felt the battle coming like you feel a storm in the air. Dreamed the feel of the heat coming of the ground. Saw the horse shit in the middle of the crossroads. Heard the insects chittering to each other in the fading light. He's got his ...

Solomon Scale sits on the stump of an oak at the crossroads, his bible open in his lap. He tries to pray, but his stomach is churning and his heart is fluttering in his chest. The full moon gives enough light to read, but the words blur under his eyes. Instead, Solomon's fingers take what comfort they can from the fa...

I sat there, my Bible in hand, an axe, and two pistols. It wasn't much but it was all I had. Maybe I could make a difference. I should have killed him before he ever spoke. I wish I could have killed him The sun was slowing making its way down. I was to wait at the edge of town and at sundown the Devil himself would c...

They say to prepare your soul for the Afterlife, but I've always found it's a little easier to prepare for confrontation. "My name is Silas Henry and I aim to send you back." *Back? Not even He contains me these days, and here you are, brung an axe. I'd like to see ya try, Mr. Henry.* He laughs and it seems to me smo...

Live oaks cast a twisted shadow at sundown in south Georgia. The firey hues dance playfully as the sun lowers so quickly. With such a flat horizon there is almost a feeling that the whole world has tilted as the sun drops, firey reds and oranges climbing to the tips of the gnarled branches and then puffing out of sight...

The thick Georgia heat pulled out the dew drops on the man's head. He stood there, his shadow growing slow as the sun arched toward the horizon. "Come on you bastard, show." The man wiped the sweat from his eyes, the dirt and grime smearing. "This was where the prophet said you'd be. Now, show." Scoffing, he knel...

It is hot, in the dry brittle way that the summers are now. The season had been quiet. On the last day of the month of July a factory owned by United States Cartridge Company exploded. Many died. But that was neither here nor there. His palms were sweaty. The ax handle was sticky in his hand and the pistols dragge...

Suicide was a sin, he remembered. But what if he could make it a murder? Doctor used the words terminal. Now, he didn't rightly know what that word meant, but he could guess it meant he wouldn't see too many more sunsets like this. It was a good one too. Purple glows around the orange haze of a day of work. The encroa...

Pastor Michael Gregory stood in the center of a dusty road, squinting into the crimson light beating down on his face. He checked his coat for the third time. One bible. Two pistols. One axe. Everything was in order, but still Michael could not shake the sinking feeling in his gut. He glanced down at his watch. 7:53. H...

The minister looked at his weapons and chuckled to himself. Fear drove men to do ridiculous things, but of all people, he should have known better. He left the axe embedded in a nearby stump and sat down in the shade of a poplar tree. Carefully, he unloaded the pistols, removing each bullet one at a time. He stared at ...

Dust swept the empty street as the sun beat its last breath on the road ahead. The deafening silence frightened the still air; the pistols, axe and bible trembled in the hands of the minister. Fire flew like wind, the sky roared and the ground shook. An image appeared, black, burnt and twisted. Flustered the air gr...

It was a gray afternoon, clouds covered the sky and even though it wasn't raining he could smell wet dirt in the air. It was the type of weather that would come to quickly blot out a hot sunny day and would probably be gone just as fast. He was a preacher by trade but by looking at him you might think he was an underta...

They told him he was crazy, they told him all the axes and guns on God's green earth wouldn't stop Lucifer. But he had to go, he felt it in his bones, sure as the seasons or the tides of the seas. He stood at the crossroads and watched the sun slip and slip away. "Soon darkness will descend, what will your mortal wea...
