Wooden paddles slammed the surface of the water hard; drizzle fell down to my skin like the creek spurted.
Slowly, my boat would drift into the canopy covered section and his view would get blocked, and that would be the perfect time for me to flee. But now? Now we shall enjoy the game. I knew he was somewhere behind some tree and pointing his wife, that sniper, at me. There was a reason I wore ...
A giant metal plate crashed down on the spine of the earth!
Let me rephrase it, a gigantic circular spaceship had an erroneous landing on the Lostse, one of the Himalayas.
Oh, my. Oh, hohoho. Where do I start? What can I say? That thing! Look at those massive ice picks looking like dragons’s teeth shining under the plateau sunlight. Wait, wait! Micky! No! Damn he got sucked to one of the picks....
“Leave me alone!”
The man screamed while a firefighter tried to drag him out of a collapsing building.
“Leave me alone or you’ll regret it.”
Half of his right leg was crushed by the fallen debris but the firefighter was still trying.
“None sense! We’ll get out of here together alive!”
Panting heavily, the firefighter shouted. After an arduous battle with the debries, he finally managed to tea...
Sarah waited, feeling time slipping away along each “tick tack” of her car. Another random neighborhood she was directed to at 2 in the morning yet she couldn’t say no. How can she say no, or else, who will take Ali home? Her hook-up for sure would kick her out, and no one knows it clearer than Sarah that Ali had no penny left to pay for an Uber and no friend left to give her a ride. What a dumb c...

A tense whisper echos in the dimly lit alley, “we need to get out of here, now!”
“What?! Where?! Where should we go?!” A shrill cry slits the darkness along with a match igniting. Behind the flickering light emerges a cracking smile on a rotten face with piecess of muscle and skin hanging off of the bone. Inside the hollowed eye sockets squirm maggots coated in murky goo
“Where should we go?” Th...
I wrote a short story earlier on my phone but forgot to save it so it was all lost when my software crashed. With a pair of concerned eyes, he leaned over to see what was wrong. I said, with tearing eyes, that I had lost everything. He watched the tear falling down from my check, and shook his head.
“Me too. If it was my father laying in that casket, I’d feel like I’ve lost everything too”.
Th...
As ethereal as it would ever be, the expedition crew was astounded by the unmooring scene of whiteness outside of the traveling machine.
“Wow, sick shit!”
Georgie tightened his helmet and opened the door.
Unidentifiable ashes floated through the gapes between his figures as the tip of his glove touched what appeared to be a white coral.
“What did you find?”
Muriel peeked out of the door whi...
She never said “I’m leaving you”; she just left. But, then, she didn’t fully leave. She slowly erase herself from my life bit by bit.
The day she left, I went home and cleared all of her belongings out of the apartment, packed in a suitcase and rolled it out of the door. I thought a threshold of some sort may help me with a clean cut but it didn’t. I found her hair everywhere in the room, on the ...
The first thing I hate about Jane is that we share the same name. People calls Jane and both of us would turn but only one would be needed.
The second thing I hate about Jane is the perfect ration of each sweet turning point on her jaw line like she is some Greek marble statue coming out of dormant and walking into the mortal’s life.
The third thing I hate about Jane are her eyes, like carmeliz...
