The streets were littered with the glow of neon, this was a city that never stopped moving and because of the dome protecting it, it never saw day nor night, just bright neon colors flashing away. I had walked this street many times before, it was my commute to the office, but on this particular day, something strange happened; for half a block, all of the neon signs were out. It created an eeri...

A simple white lie

To reduce harm unto thee

For truth is painful

I trusted that dood

But he did not trust in me

Beauty is now lost

Trust will save your soul

But it will hurt your feelings

What a little bitch...

It was really odd hearing that Mr. Carter would be out for the rest of the semester, he had never so much as taken time off during the school year in all the years that I have known him. He seemed fine just last week and now we are hearing this? Something seemed fishy. And typically, when someone is out on such short notice, we have to scramble to cover their classes until we can get a sub in, ...

She had seen many a prince come to her aid, only for each to fail in rescuing her from the tower. There was some sort of barrier that none of them could break through and it is what has kept here in that god forsaken place for 3 decades. She was 37 now and bored as hell. She had read all of the books in her possession at least 3 times each and no one but her mother, the witch, could pass throug...

The last thing Leon remembered was a giant flaming ball hurling towards the post on the castle wall he was manning that night. _How could the enemy get a cannon or trebuchet that close? Where were the rangers and forest patrol that should have caught and stopped a device like that from getting anywhere near the castle?_ With these questions swirling in his mind his other senses began to wake up...

The cold breeze sent a shiver up her spine. There was something eerie about this desolate place, yet also familiar. The moon mutely reflected off the stone that was jutting out of the desert sand and allowed her to see without a torch once her eyes had adjusted. Everything was tinged red as if a thousand battles had been fought in this very place and the sand and stone and shrubbery soaked up e...

Birds are chirping outside on a sunny but brisk Sunday morning. Filtered through the window pane and shades it has an almost robotic tone Xander thinks to himself.

“Have they always sounded like that?” The question pops into his mind, but soon dissipates amidst the raging headache he finds himself woken up with.

“Uuuhhhhggg… What the fuck?!” He grumbles

What exactly happened last night? Wh...

“Ugh… This is horrible…” He grumbled to himself. How on earth did he get himself into this situation? All he wanted to do was spend a bit of his free time volunteering for a charitable organization and was even excited at the prospect to work with some kids, but he never imagined it would be like this.

He continued to clean up the mess on the floor and the stench of goblin blood was permeatin...

The fog was thick and there was an eerie absence of sound that they noticed more and more from the moment they entered. From the outside it looked like any other forest, but the moment they passed the threshold, nothing seemed right about it. The trees were almost unnaturally twisted as if some external force had exerted pressure on them. The bark gave everyone creepy pareidolia and disturbed f...
