A Completely Reasonable Solution to Testing Human Spaceflight
Originally submitted to this prompt. Silence filled the board room. And not the silence of shock and disgust one would have expected when the CEO just dropped her “brilliant” idea of offering free trips to the downtrodden members of society inside the company’s new economic personal low Earth orbit shuttle like human crash test dummies. … Continue reading A Completely Reasonable Solution to Testing Human Spaceflight
Heart Stoppers
Originally submitted to this prompt. The moment his blade slipped through the air and into my rib-cage my heart stopped. I mean not literally. Well not just literally, figuratively it stopped too. Much like his had as he fell on top of me and into the edge of my wrist mounted blade. Not long afterwards … Continue reading Heart Stoppers
The Department of Unholy Deals (Or My Life as an Antinatalist Demon)
When you look at me what do you first think? Be honest. If you've been alive on the Earth long enough you'd seen many depictions of creatures like myself: dark hair, crimson skin, two small-yet-significant protruding horns poking through our hairline. I'm a demon, have always been, and will always be from the moment the … Continue reading The Department of Unholy Deals (Or My Life as an Antinatalist Demon)

John the Conman: Or Why One Should Never Impersonate an Old God Upon His Return

A Donkey’s Wisdom
For as long as I remember, this mountaintop has been my home. Sitting atop my humble nest of rock and the shirts off of men and women's backs, I meditate until a new student arises over the mountain's crest. Today a man in a yellow shirt arrived, side by side with a donkey carrying all … Continue reading A Donkey’s Wisdom
Pigeon Cop
High above the city I glide looking between the chasms of road sitting between towering buildings when I see my target. A man in a black sweater and red cap, dashing through the crowded sidewalks. My training kicks in and I glide down from high above like my eagle brethren snatching a snake from the … Continue reading Pigeon Cop
The Last Apple
The empty aisles of the long-forgotten supermarket are laden with dust and empty shelves. The food here has been long consumed and raided by survivors ever since the uprising. What little organic matter that lays within the confines of the old abandoned box store has been taken by the rats or turned to mush through … Continue reading The Last Apple
