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. Graceful God, he didn't have children. Now it's just me, and my house, and my wood.
Every year the city-folk get a little closer,... | Melad has lived for thousands of years. Earth has been producing floral biotics of different kind after the demise of original humans many millennium ago. He lives in the ruins of the past. He has long transformed the acres of land around him to suit his simple life. For a farmer like him the vegetations are his treasu... | 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 | 507 |
I put my 5 year old daughter, Emily, in the elevator, and waited until the doors closed before running down the hall to the stairs. I'd done this trick before, and seeing my daughter's 5 year old face light up filled me with an unforgettable sense of joy.
I heard the 'ding' just as I dismounted from the staircase on t... | "It's for you sir," my secretary said as she handed me the phone. Of course, my ex-wife wouldn't call my cellphone, that would make too much sense. She just HAD to call my workplace instead.
"Thanks Jess," I said to the secretary as I took the phone. "Feel free to go home already, your son has a concert that you shou... | You put your 5-year-old daughter in an elevator by herself, and run to the next floor to make her laugh when the doors open. You get there, the elevator arrives and a 20-year-old woman steps out. "Hello Dad. We have a lot to talk about" | 544 |
"So nobody has ever seen it before?" The President asked.
"No sir," replied the NASA representative.
"How is that possible? Don't we have satellites in orbit? We've sent people up to the space station in rockets... they must have seen something."
I looked up from my papers, and from the corner of my eye saw my boss ... | [...] Johansen and his men landed at a sloping mud-bank on this monstrous Acropolis, and clambered slipperily up over titan oozy blocks which could have been no mortal staircase. The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted me... | A new continent is discovered. No one knows why this large land mass has never been seen before, it doesn't appear on any pictures taken from space and no astronauts have ever reported seeing it. You are part of the team in charge of mapping the area when you find out what they've been hiding. | 555 |
People often ask me why I started this program. The answer is not some noble cause well, it is, but rather a noble cause, as in related to the nobility, not high and mighty. Because who do you think actually has this program taught to them? Nobles. Peasants don’t have programs that come to their schools because they do... | # Graduation Day
Theebaw had a tired look about him about him that day. A big, loose-muscled man in a stained jacket, a tarnished gleam of silver at his throat, his deep-set eyes stared out across the classroom as he sipped slowly from a many times patched wineskin.
It was something about the children, he often thoug... | Turns out being an adventurer wasn't such a good idea. In fact there may be some survivorship bias here. You only really hear about the tiny fraction of adventurers that achieve glory. In reality most of them die violent deaths, become slaves, or worse. Now you run a scared straight program. | 503 |
"I understand that you are an eldritch creature of horror," James began, carefully keeping the exhaustion and annoyance from creeping into his tone, "But you simply cannot claim your Legion of the Damned as dependants on your 1040. As an unfortunate result, your tax obligation is rather higher than the amount you've sa... | *Just a few more doors...almost done* I thought to myself. I took a deep breath and flattened my button-down shirt against my torso and made sure to double check it was tucked in all the way around. The encounter with the previous tenant... well, lets just say that dragons don't take to kindly to anyone asking for th... | You live in a world were not only do Superheroes, Monsters, Aliens, ect. exist, but they also pay taxes. You're a taxman that deals with non-human taxpayers. | 551 |
"Aye, you've heard about the devil's asshole right?"
It was more of a rhetorical question. At this point, everybody had.
A few years back, Bridgeport Connecticut experienced a minor tremor from a minor earthquake. No one thought much of it at the time, save for Mr. Hoolihan whose backyard now sported a three foot wid... | I’d promised Stephen I would keep my mouth shut for the entire journey. Yet, as we made the turn off the freeway, onto the dusty country road, the last three miles to Miller’s farm, the injustice of it all bubbled over.
“It’s just damned unfair, that’s what it is.”
“I know. You’ve told me a thousand times.”
“It’s s... | A seemingly bottomless pit was found, for which the depth can't be determined. Over time, scores of people began using it to illegally dump trash. Many have jumped in to die, while others jumped believing that they'll find life's answers within it. Today, we learn the truth about the hole. | 515 |
As the evil necromancer king was slain the heroes stood triumphant at last. The kingdom was saved. Or so they though. Running a kingdom cost money, effort, time and cunning. Thing neither of those wannabes had.
I withdrew my thoughts from my pawn just as the blow was dealt to it. I retreated to my cabin in the dar... | The horse drawn wagon rolled along at a steady pace, bouncing and jostling slightly on roads beginning to deteriorate after almost two years of neglect. I sat beside the driver at the front, with a small group of six soldiers in the cart behind us, in silence. Crows called somewhere overhead, then fluttered into the sk... | You were an "evil" king who has been dethroned by conquering heroes for your "horrible tyranny". It takes less than 2 years for the people of the kingdom to be begging for you to be reinstated as king. | 507 |
I have the easiest job you can imagine. I get paid monthly for a hundred years, so I never have to think about saving money. All I had to do was push a button once. Oh, and if I quit I'm as good as dead. But I guess that's still better than the average employment contract.
This left me with a lot of spare time, some o... | I was the best. Emphasis on the was. Let's face it: I got comfortable. I got rusty. I narrowly saw that tripwire and got to cover just in time. Well, not just in time. The blood on my right shoulder is indication enough that I got hit. Scraped actually, but still. I got comfortable. I got rusty.
 
>Year... | In this world, soulmates cannot hurt each other in any way or form, intentionally or unintentionally. You are an assassin hired to eliminate a powerful figure. As you close in for the kill, your bullets miss their mark and knives bounce of their skin. Things just got awkward. | 524 |
"I can't believe that I've found you!" she screamed. Her face was practically glowing, she was so excited. She ran forward and leapt into my arms, and before I could even think to react her voice was resonating in my head.
"*And don't you even think of dropping me, butterfingers! I remember how you dropped your first... | "The voice. You know that voice in your head. The one that's your inner voice? Most people it's their own voice, they can hear it, speak it, even imagine the words coming out of your mouth.

Since birth, 24/7 you’ve heard the voice and thoughts of a girl that you’ve been told is made up in your head. You’re 37 and hear the voice say “turn around, did I find you?” and you turn to see a real girl who’s heard every thought you’ve ever had and vice versa. | 584 |
*"What do you fear, creature?"*
I blinked, for lack of any more constructive response, given the restraints. This wasn't the first time the shadow before me had asked this question, but it was clearly becoming more confused and frustrated with each attempt. Each time it asked the question, it ignored my answer, then s... | It was the 20th year of their invasion of the galaxy. The assault and sacking of this solar system began just like so many before: spacecraft concealed as hyperbolic comets dispersed the "seeds" among the planets. Tiny invasion craft rained down on all terrestrial planets, embedded themselves into the soil and began ge... | The current rulers of the galaxy exert their dominance by showing showing new races a glimpse of their terrifying nature inevitably either driving the unfortunate victims mad or causing them to retreat in fear. It does not work on humans however, they are used to it | 583 |
"USB-man, why don't you give me a hand?"
Begrudgingly, the 200-pound freestyle rapper known to us as USB-man walked up to the facilitator. His sweat had formed angel wings on his--even to him--oversized t-shirt. Not actual wings, like his twin brother USA-man.
"Man, you always call on me for this shit."
"Now now, US... |    “I’m Michael and-“
   “Hi, Michael,” the group chorused.
   Startled, he gave a little scream, then cleared his throat. “Uh, right, hello. Anyway, I’m Michael and-“

"For your own safety, you seriously should've let me complete that ritual." The shackled villain protested as the hero pulls her to a carriage.
"You were gonna sacrifice 27 virgins, Theia, I'm not gonna let that slide." The hero replied as he lead her into the carriage and locked the door behind her.
Theia sighs as s... | Once we had been the most powerful heroic duo the world had ever seen, Lady Justice and Judgement. She always thought those names were silly, but I was the one who thought that we needed strong heroic sounding names when we first started out. In revenge, she was the one who got to pick our catch phrase, "And Justice fo... | You're a villain that fell in love with a hero. Though the strongest villain on the planet, you constantly lose to your hero, since you just love the rivalry and don't want it to end. As you are being arrested one day, your hero is attacked by another villain, one too strong for them to beat. | 536 |
Buses. I see it every day. Picturing it in my head. Why did I wish that? Why was I so vague? Why did it have to come true?!
I'm sitting here, paranoid, in my twelfth floor apartment as far away from the window as I can. My leg wrapped in plaster from the last time and the wound on my shoulder still seeping from where ... | As a young man, Nigel Premeiter lived a simple, if unconventional, life with his two parents, Houghler and Tricia. He would stay out doors, normally at the edge of the lot his parents owned. His home was a simple trailer, with one room on one end and his own on the other end. Taking most of the length of the trailer wa... | As a young child you made an innocent wish to be granted a power that in hindsight was just whimsical and silly. Now you have grown up but you still have the power - how do you use it now as an adult? | 568 |
By rights I shouldn't exist. With the pairing of bear and dove, they expected something smaller. A wolf, perhaps, or an eagle. Something fast, yet powerful. Strong, yet humble. No one prepared for me.
The marks determine one's place in society. My father, with his unequaled strength, led the tribe to greatness. My mot... | I chuckled to myself as I wiped the blood from my knuckles, and dragged my victim further into the dark alley he had attempted to rob me from.

Beep, beep. The phone buzzed in my pocket. Sure enough, as I took a look at the message, it was sent by an unknown number, signed off simply as 'Beauty.' Just like the previous 13 times that I have received the same message.
"Dear Detective, I'm sorry that you have to receive this message, but your name has been chose... | Cell phone buzzes while I'm lying on the couch listening to "Desperado". I wasn't expecting any messages, but I look down at the screen. Not a number I recognize. I swipe my finger up the screen and select the icon.

*Well that was a bust...*
**C'mon. I know you really liked her.**
*I mean I did but...I guess she didn't feel the same. Seems like that's been happening a lot lately.*

"Oh that's more common than you think."
"What?" That wasn't the response I was expecting.
"I thought maybe I was in grave danger, or there was something wrong with me..."
"Oh goodness no, Mr. Robinson. You're life simply collapsed into a singular timeline due to an infinitesimal bottleneck. "

Singularly Sarah skipped down the streets of the singularity, peering into Chicago Four and Mumbai Nine, drinking in the conflicting scents of gunpowder and spices as she sipped her morning coffee.
