*They fuck you up, your mum and dad.* It was, Miles Tarman considered, perhaps the truest thing that Larkin had ever written.

“Daddy, I’m so bored!” The small child whined loudly, tugging on her tall father’s hand. This made the blond haired man smile down at the small child.

High school, college, Law school…that was the easy part of life. Well, maybe not law school, but it was easy to keep up the life and still have a lucrative front. Besides, I knew how to get my crew out of a pinch. Then came marriage, love…fatherhood. The hard parts of life. I’m only in my mid-thirties, but I am probabl...

A slightly older man stood in the lobby of the First National Bank of Metroville. He was tall and slender. The man wore a black trenchcoat and fedora. His pale bule eyes were covered by dark designer sunglasses. The designer suit from Italy hung neatly on his frame. The most standout thing about him was that he was hol...

[WP] it's not easy... turning man into machine
"They're not happy," Thomas said. "Their faces blue, they may only go 'Choo, choo.'" The human who turned into a tank engine blew white smoke out of his ears. He tried to express unhappiness through a radical and instantaneous change in expression, but said nothing. "Thomas, why, I've got two arms and two legs! And h...
I wanted to live forever, and I will. Part of me, at least. I devoted my mortal life to it. Mapping brain functions, designing computer hardware, translating thought to code. Do you know how much time it takes to earn *5* PhDs? One of my thesis advisers asked *me* for a letter of recommendation. In the end, I did it...

I was slowly, gradually beginning to glow. It was very faint for the first several weeks of my transformation, I wondered why everyone kept telling me I looked so good and making comments about my appearance. Its cause I was literally starting to radiate. After I finally looked in a mirror, I'm a poor mid-20's kid tha...
I'd always known I was different. Mostly in good ways since I was a child, physically slightly faster, a little stronger, I can recall many times when my own reflexes surprised me, good catches stuff like that.

“It was a dark and stormy night,” I mumbled, staring at my hands. The officer jotted down each word I said. “I was sleeping like a log. Little did I know it was the calm before the storm. Suddenly, I woke up with a start. Although my eyelids felt like lead weights, I summoned the energy to look out the window.” “The...

The blade entered his chest like a hot knife through butter - his jilted lover screaming, crazy with jealousy, "You were my everything!" The victim's lady on the side clutched her blanket to her chest and screamed bloody murder, while the murderer smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes as the victim breathed his fin...

Because it was raining cats and dogs, quick as a wink, I ducked into the café across the street from the parking lot. I was watching the clock when my attention drifted outside. She was as American as apple pie, biking down the street without a care in the world. A car approached as slow as molasses in January. I ha...

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," were the words used by the criminal, purports one witness, as he saw the man stab his wife in the middle of the street. "Then, he took his shoes and was gone with the wind," described the witness as the husband escaped the scene. When describing the wife, he said: "She was de...

“It was a dark and stormy night,” said one witness. “We were just a bunch of young, busty women having a sleep over at our sorority,” said another. I nodded and continued to take down their story. “We had just started our whipped cream pillow fight when the doorbell rang,” said the first witness. “Stacy went down a...

[WP] You wake up in an empty hospital with an envelope taped to your chest, you read the letter inside. "If you're reading this, that means you have awoken. Inside the envelope is a syringe with a small dose of a chemical that will kill you in seconds without pain, use it. DO NOT GO OUTSIDE."
The janitor watching on the CCTV monitor grunted in surprise as the patient jammed the needle into his arm. "Well that was unexpected," he muttered to himself, switching his view to the next contestant. "Maybe the notes are a bad idea." "Nah," he said aloud after several moments. "Not my fault if nobody appreciates a...
It was the second year on earth without the warmth and nurture of the burning sun. The rugged mountains, low valleys, and booming cities were now completely covered in frozen atmospheric gases. So much as to fill every change in elevation. Everything was now flat windy and inhospitable for any living organism. It was t...

My eyes fluttered open, only to be greeted by harsh fluorescent lighting. I sat up quickly, blinking my eyes rapidly to shake off the bleariness. My surroundings slowly took shape in front of me. I was in a private hospital room, with the door shut. It was in absolute chaos. Tables and chairs had been flipped over. Me...

I read it out loud, just to hear the words themselves on a human tongue. "If you're reading this, that means you have awoken." I don't feel any different. I inspect my hands. No cracks, monster skin grafts, or apparent zombification. "Inside the envelope is a syringe with a small dose of a chemical that will kill...

My name is Emily. My name is Emily Mason. That’s all I know right now. Actually, I have plenty of memories, too. I remember growing up in the mountains. I remember smelling the sweet pine air. I lived there all my life. I remember my parents, and I remember when they died. I remember my little cabin in the woods, my ...
In one hand John held what would most certainly be his death, and in the other, he held a message. A message that told him not to go outside. What was outside? He didn't know. Last thing he remembered was taking his dog, Marshy, for a walk. It was a silent, cold February morning, just like any other. He very vaguely re...

Awakening with a jolt Mark sat up and fought back a wave of nausea until his vision cleared. It was cold, that can't be right atmospherics should still be operating, he can't have been out that long right? Touching the back of his head and staring at the blood on his fingers asked aloud "What happened?" Before flicki...
