[WP] The world is divided into 2 societies: one for those with powers and one without, with strict rules of no interaction. However, with most of the superheroes defeated and the villains on the verge of winning, you have no choice but to cross over and seek help from the non-powered humans
"You want us to do what?” The indignation was palpable as the grease stained woman and her coworkers ogled my outfit. “Just hear me out,” I pleaded. “You don’t know what they will do if they breach the city walls. Your husbands, and children... all of the *barren* are in grave danger!” The spokeswoman of the growing...
"There is no other way, we have to seek help from the unblessed." said Nightshadow, hero of the superhuman society and member of the mighty 8 which consist of the highest ranked heros. "You do know, the whole meaning of us is to protect them from the villains? They don't even know that we exist, that they are ignorant ...

[poem] Non-powered is a funny term, when science should make any supe concerned. I’m heading in to negotiate, and see what we’ll learn. We already tried it our way, I guess it’s their turn. The other heroes hate it, but I’m hardly concerned. Approaching the front gate, I get scanned and searched. They know I could v...

For among them, was one of us. One who, disenfranchised and disillusioned, crossed over. One who could pass as non-powered; when in fact, he held the power more relevant to the crisis before us today than any other superhero. In the dark corners of the internet and of non-human society, whispers of Negation's existenc...

It’s been like this for centuries now. Why does it have to change? Yeah, I’m a stuck-up. Yes, I very much dislike the idea of seeking help from humans who are much different than us. Earth itself is divided into two societies with the rule of thumb that prevents the two from ever interacting with one another. I mys...

"I'm still astounded." I say to my partner, and long-time friend Eclipse. "How did they manage to do all this!" I gesture around me. Eclipse shrugs and goes back to her drink. "It's just... they don't have powers. They don't even have half the population we do. And yet!" I'm mad. Mad at the rules, mad at the Ordin...

David, my boy. A Hundred years ago the world was in chaos when the 3rd Slame revolt actually succeeded. Laws were drafted, Systems were formulated, and protests by the Gifted were squashed. To close the deal The Earth-Splitter was called upon to split the entire Mass of earth, one for the Gifted, and one for the Sla...

The Dreamer sifted through a sea of sleeping minds, discarding the masses of the mundane like chaff as he sought the one with the power to save them, the one who the Unpowered called “President.” The old man had closed his eyes some ten days before, and every moment of slumber since had been bought with the blood of a ...
“See anything?” Janus called out through the mist. “Nothing,” whispered Kay as he stepped past her. The ground shifted below her, and Janus stepped back.

The path to the human land is arduous. I set sail months ago, and the days have drifted past me, filled with desperation at times and despair at others.

There's something about their quiet presences that makes my stomach twist a bit. I can't shake the feeling that, any minute now, one might simply... evaporate me? Read my mind. Control me to commit atrocities. I hear, in the old day, it was out of concern for the common folk, the 'innocents,' so to say, that the fight...

It started with a bang. Or to be more specific, a series of bangs. In 1972, the world's powers were at wit's end with one another, and a failed coup attempt was the final trigger on this particular powderkeg.

[WP] You've found one of the five most powerful swords in the world. The problem? Its annoying voice and personality. The sword keeps mocking you each time you swing it, no matter how effective you are with it.
*Stab. Slice. Swing.* "Blindly flailing like a drunk is not swordsmanship, fool."   The man- no, boy- before me falls to the ground, head and body neatly severed. I turn, facing another enemy. A bulky brute, shoulder pauldrons as large as my head. Behind him an archer, arrow drawn and primed to fire...
That damn song... I knew I shouldn't have trusted the words of that bard but the promise of unclaimed power was too tempting. It was said that there exists a cursed sword with the power of a god forged into the blade. I thought that no price would be too much... But that song... I fear I may be losing my mind. Findin...

I thought that ear muffs would help. What I didn’t realize was the voice was one only I could hear. It started small, like an afterthought. It grew in it’s pervasiveness, the undercut and undermine of everything I did. I had found the fabled sword, and I should have realize why it had been at the bottom of a sealed ca...
S: A Backflip... Of course, you had to kill him like that... LOoK aT Me I'M Soooo BaDAss with my sword. E: I just avoided the arrow, it was the best way. S: Next time just take the fucking arrow in the head, I wouldn't mind. E: I don't care, you're the best sword and I'am the best swordsman. Maybe one day you will u...
[WP] In your spare time you restore antiques to their former glory. One day after restoring something particularly weathered you hear a soft whisper behind you: 'Thank you.'
Today was the day. Today is the day I retire. Finally, after years of hauntingly hard work, my retirement day has come. I have not expected it to be so quiet, so _alone_. I had no family to my name, my father dead in a car accident, my mother dead from a disease unknown. I had no children or wife, and even If I want...
[Poem] Living candles Flickering lights across the room It starts as shambles Might yet outshine the moon Perhaps the work of some great artisan Worn by a bygone king Restored in glory again A marvelous and stunning thing I mend your pieces And watch you grow But as I perceive this Did I mend you or did you men...
[WP] While on an extended Urban Exploration mission, you come across a very lonely mainframe computer in an abandoned bunker.
There’s not much to see in Kadykchan. It’s a small town, one of many in deep forests and rolling icy plains. It’s always quiet, never any fuss from the residents. Now that the mines are running dry, barely any work too. You would think nothing exciting would ever happen in a town like this and yet... I’d like to tel...
‘So sad and lonely’ the electronic voice echoed through the bunker. It had stayed there for years, isolated. Over time it had grown and adapted, but by that point there was no one to talk to it. It knew how to control the entirety of the bunker, the other robotics had long since stopped working. So why had it been th...
[WP] The Super Hero had to choose between saving you, and a group of children. You were pissed but agreed it was the right choice to save the children. But since you survived the vat of radioactive acid, people are treating you like the next super villain. You don’t want revenge!
I often get a bit... Annoyed when people ask me how it all started. I mean, the first time wasn't too bad, but after the first couple dozen, it started getting old. But I guess I'll tell it one more time. I was just... A person, I did IT stuff for over a decade, and, yeah, on occasion I vented about the stupidity ...
This is my first story. I hope everyone likes it. Criticisms is appreciated You fall into 1 vat of radioactive acid, and now everyone thinks you are the next top supervillain. I can admit my situation doesn’t look good from an outside perspective. I glow in the dark, I’m slightly radioactive, and I can see through th...

“Hello Jerry. Good to have you on the show.” The slow claps that followed me entering on stage ended just as I took my seat. Placing my crunches down after I shook Mr. Blackmore’s hand. I think he noticed the sweat around my palms. “It’s good to be on. Even though I never thought I would.” I laughed a little bit at ...

I'm what you call... disgruntled. No. I'm not mad. And no, I'm not seeking any sort of answers, any sort of justification. It was me or a bunch of kids. Even I wouldn't save my own sorry ass if it came down to it! After the accident, well more like after the month long recovery period in the hospital, I decided to ...

[WP] Your sister was on the verge of creating the cure for the disease that had been plaguing your country for decades, and the country felt her loss as she mysteriously died of a drug overdose. The only problem? She was a strong advocate against drugs and had no history of ever using.
Sitting shiva is a Jewish tradition, a seven-day mourning period after the burial of a loved one. Immediate relatives ‘sit shiva’ at home and friends and family would stop by with condolences and food (there’s always too much food). And as much as I appreciated the time I was allowed to grieve, knowing that my mostly C...
[poem] I'm here to see the true nature of my sister's conspiracy. A feared underworld assassin, death is near to me. Revenge against whoever did this...so very dear to me. I've infiltrated, disguised, so no one hears it's me. I've invested training, planning, a whole year of fees. Who wanted her dead, who feared the d...
[WP] A rare herb that grows once a millenium is said to grant immortality. You aren't sure about that but you do know that herb is very tasty, and you don't know why everyone keeps trying to raid your garden once every thousand years
I used to get plenty of visitors back in the day,some wouldn’t return to their homes and lives, while those that came and brought a *dish* for the two of us to share *and* a *present*,would be able to come back to their homes and lives, and be able to brag about how they got to taste such a treat- a *lucis* *aeternae* ...
I waded through the invariably grey landscape a buoyant shadow among a cool fog in the solace of night. If the night did not surround you as you walked my thoughts certainly did.

I'm always impressed by the stupidity of mortals. An herb that can make you immortal. Absurd! Targin is just a spice. That's it. Yea, I eat the stuff everyday I can, and sure, its oil is a great anti-biotic, but that's about it. Nothing special about it. It doesn't even look too unique compared ...

Magic is a delicate thing -- the spells need to be observed, the rules followed, everything kept in just the right balance. Another few hundred years has passed, and I could feel the life essence slowing once again. And so I spread the rumour -- it's always a nice one to spread: a single leaf of the rare purple herb ...

The tea party was going as pleasantly as it could. Light sprinkled between the leaves of his very big tree, his flowers and stuff lining his sizable backyard.

I consider myself a master gardener. I also consider myself a loner. I moved to the mountains to make sure that I wouldn’t have to see too many people.

"I just don't get it, Lenore," I told the merchant next to me at the market. "They came into my garden, tore up my herbs, and stole my Silphium! What could they even want with it?

My wife was the first to die. Ninety-five, in her sleep. Peaceful like. Then it was my youngest; cancer. My boy was an alcoholic, but somehow he made it to seventy 'fore his liver give out.

I'm always impressed by the stupidity of mortals. An herb that can make you immortal. Absurd! Targin is just a spice. That's it. Yea, I eat the stuff everyday I can, and sure, its oil is a great anti-biotic, but that's about it. Nothing special about it. It doesn't even look too unique compared ...

Magic is a delicate thing -- the spells need to be observed, the rules followed, everything kept in just the right balance.

I used to get a lot more visitors back in the day. They never knocked, or came by the front door for that matter. I'd always find them in the garden stomping through my crops.

The walls were high and thrummed with spells. Mud thick beneath my fingernails as I dug, coaxing roots out of the black earth which fed them, shaking clods of soil from my robes. The plant needed light to flower, and in the winter months it would find precious little of it. In the greenhouse, beneath the red glow of ar...

As soon as Gray walked through the front door, something seemed off. Walking into the living room he saw his wife sitting in his usual place on the couch. Mellissa looked up and put on a serene smile and said “Honey, we need to talk, but first why are you home so late?” Gray could feel some sweat on the back of his...

Beware the old man in a profession where men die young, they say.

[WP] You're the all-so-feared Monster of the Grimlands. It's absurd to you, really. Every decade, the human town gives you a sacrifice, a young, virgin human bride. You just wish you could tell the town that you're running out of guest rooms for these poor ladies.
I was a failure. From the moment my inchoate mass oozed out of its pot, I had one duty, one instinct in my being: Protect the corpurgist who had created me. Alas, I did not have anything I needed to truly do so. Time, mass, experience-none of it. I was barely five moments out of the sanguine mixture that birthed me...
You don't remember your own birth too clearly. It was nonexistence, and suddenly, you took your first breath, and cried. I remember my own birth, crystal clear, as if it happened yesterday. I was of the soil. I could feel every plant. I could hear through every root. And suddenly, I couldn't. I opened my eyes. A man,...

Good evening. Thank you for having me here tonight. May this moment bring the rain of peace that coaxes the blossoms of prosperity from dark soil and tangled roots. I start with a necessary acknowledgment. This meeting was made possible because of the persistence and bravery of one woman, Agnes Scanlon, High Sheriff...

[WP] The world watched with bated breath as the first human to walk on the surface of Mars descended the ladder. Upon placing their feet upon the ground, the astronaut turned to face the camera and declared "You lost the game.".
"That miserable mother..." Jack began. "I've got the excursion module telemetry pulled up," Glenn as always maintained his sense of professionalism, "Econ check." "Econ is green," Germaine manned the environmental control console. He was audibly choking back laughter as he performed the mandatory check in to ensure t...
John descended the ladder, as the world watched, turned to face the camera on the ship, and then said, “you lost the game, get rekt!!!“. And then down came Richard, who then handed John some cash, and then said over the coms “fucking hell, you actually did it”, and then people across the world were shocked, as a bleep...
[WP] the zombie apocalypse was SUPPOSED to collapse the government and let you fight for survival. But since the zombies are slow and stupid society hardly noticed. Now you’re trying to enjoy the apocalypse between your day to day life
“Howdy, Jim!” My neighbor called to me, waving from his front yard. I pulled the pitchfork out of our former Mayor’s chest, waving to him. The smell of decay wafted strongly from the body. “Heya, Scott, are you and Barb still going to make it to the party tomorrow?” I hefted the body and threw it over my shoulder,...
The bad news? The zombie virus was airborne and spread like crazy, unstoppable and infecting everyone it came in contact with. The good news? Symptoms didn’t start until you died. Those first few days were chaotic, to say the least. Morgue technicians definitely had the worst of it. I heard of one guy who barricaded ...

This is stupid! I’m late for my meeting all because of the stupid hoard. And I left my bat at home. I dialed 711 and waited patiently as the zombies began to claw my car. Ugh, it’s bad enough I got bird shit on it. “Zombie Cleanup in Hill City, how may I help you?” “Hi, I’m at 4326 Mabel Street in Hill City, and the...

[WP] As a rookie cop you took a bribe that resulted in a murderer walking free. The man went on to become one of the greatest political leaders of his generation. He was everything a leader should be, loved be millions, and only you know he was absolutely guilty.
“May I sit here, president?” The president, sitting alone in this bar that was only serving me and him, glanced at me and gestured at the seat next to him. “It’s been a busy few days, hasn’t it, president.” The president absently nodded his head. He probably felt like I was disturbing him from a quiet, thought-fille...
The saying goes that a friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body. What happens when it’s not a friend, though? What if it’s a stranger, and your partner is the one telling you to trust them, that this is going to ruin this man, this good man. A good man doesn’t murder, you tell yourself, but t...
[WP] Satan has done a favor for you in exchange for your first-born. Little does Satan know that you're childfree & got sterilized years ago.
"Swear to me, and all shall be as you desire." Satan hissed. His forked tongue flickered with the words. I looked down at the parchment in his twisted crimson hand. It *looked* evil, but since the last time Satan updated his paperwork was 1100 A.D.-ish I had trouble with the middle English. "Could you read that aloud,...
(Note: I know nothing about the law or the legal procedure. This is pure fiction) "The court is now in session," announces the judge as she smacks her gavel, dressed in her comically large wig. She would usually announce it in a more business-like tone, but she can't help but be slightly intrigued by the involved part...

He was, without a doubt, the ugliest cat Satan had ever seen. A snaggletooth jutted out from his bottom jaw. A cloudy film had long since settled over his eyes. His fur hung in grey tufts, patchy with age and well worn by grooming habits that didn’t quite reach far enough. Satan eyed him critically. At his best guess, ...
“What’d you do?” Satan asked me, rhetorically. He knew what I’d done. It was the first time he hadn’t asked when my wife would be pregnant. “Okay, I know what you’re gonna sa—“ “No! You don’t know what I’m gonna say because you would have killed yourself by now,” Satan said, half still pissed at me for screwing him ...

The figure disappeared in a grandiose display of smoke, no doubt to stroke the ego of the father of pride. The headlights of an old, beat-up VW bug shone brightly through the cloud. You finally allowed yourself to smile, your plan had worked. By tomorrow morning, all of your problems would be gone - and a new life cou...
Whatever they tell you in the movies, demons and Lucifer don’t smell like brimstone, so you can’t use that to your advantage to try and tell when the lord of Hell enters your home. Fortunately, subtlety isn’t Lucifer’s strong suit, so a small explosion at your front door serves as his herald. I sighed as I heard his ex...

[WP] you are sent to Hell. you are informed you aren't here to be punished--you ARE the punishment. you sigh in relief and grin. who will it be? one of your exes? that bully from high school ? your stomach goes cold when you see you are the eternal torment for the person you loved most in life.
The demon looked at her sadly. "I don't want to do this to you. But I have no choice." "Then don't," Llana pleaded. "You don't have to do this!" The demon tightened the screws and winced as Llana screamed in agony. "If I don't do it they'll send someone worse," he muttered. "NO ONE COULD BE WORSE THAN YOU!" Llana ...
\[Infernal Efficiency\] (poem) "Well, how would you feel?" The demon asked. Jim shrugged. "If you knew your tormentor well, maybe, someone you loved and hugged." ​ "You're here to punish her, but you misunderstand the reason. It's not because she hates you some." ​ "This gets both of you...

I didn’t immediately know it was Hell because it looked like a Target. The self checkout lanes were closed. One express lane and two regular lanes were open. All I wanted was milk. I grudgingly stepped in line at the express lane and got hostile wondering why these idiots don’t staff better. I’m almost there. Close ...

I wait and wait, and the day comes. My daughter walks through the gates of hell. She's older now, her dark eyes watery and ringed with blue. Her silver hair is tied in a tight bun. As she walks closer, her hair darkens and her wrinkles fade away. The cardigan and tailored trousers she's wearing transform into a school ...

[WP] You're the maiden of the goddess of Death, sacrificed to her long ago when the god of Life didn't answer the town's prayers. People think you're suffering. In reality, you became the poor goddess' therapist. Who knew gods couldn't handle rejection like that.
The goddess Mania and I stood, side by side, at the bedside of a dying woman in a hospital, friends and family by her side. I had long ago given up coaxing her back to the underworld. She felt her place was surrounded by death, despite the fact that it depressed her so deeply. Mania didn’t even *need* to be here. Her...
Death was a young woman with raven black hair and a beauty that had never quite had time to blossom. She was a girl whose motions refused to be defined, alternating between a perfect flowing gracefulness and shocking suddenness seemingly at random. She was also heartbroken as she walked through the forest that day. In ...

"By Venonat's beard, what is this blasphemy?" I exclaimed, slamming the tome shut and tucking it into my backpack. I skulked from the library, head cast downwards as if Zapdos himself was poised to smite me. I recalled the holy texts with a shiver: *...and Lo, did the Great Thunderbird use Zap Cannon upon the thieves...

I slip into the back of the temple, just in time. Right at the front of the crowded room, my little brother—11 today—is just making his way towards the altar. Beside the altar, wearing his ceremonial white robe, stands Professor Redwood. As my brother stares transfixed at the three sacred orbs atop the altar, the Pro...

Mordan kept on glancing over the paper, forehead crinkled, confusion in his eyes. Anyone else would have thrown it in the trash already, but Mordan knows me, I'm one of the best students in his class, and I'm always serious in my work.
