Sean's Stories
This little place at the edge of everything.
The Diner At The End Of The World sits on the edge of a great cliff that leads to the gnarling waters of the Atlantic below. Although nauseating for some, for others it was something short of a strange sight to be seen, especially in the fog of an early morning when it’s red glow

Rock and Stone
In a “survival of the fittest” world where whoever knows the most karate rules… there is one man who dares stand for justice. One man who speaks for and protects the weak.

People always told Goran he’s superfluously energetic and that his personality was too big… Today, he’s no longer Goran… He’s Goran the Gregarious. And he’s about to show his worth on his first day as job a door to door salesman exactly how a big personality breaks down doors!

What is Love?
Falling out of love is exactly how it seems. Life loses colour. You’ve lost a part of you. You’re in denial at first and try to pretend that the feelings are still there but no matter how hard you try hate shadows and grows stronger by the day. You wonder how this has happened.

Master of Your Domain
Elaine and George had planned to meet at the diner. They were surprised to find that it was now a chain drugstore. They went to Starbucks instead. Elaine asked “have you heard anything from Kramer since he left the city?” George sighed. “Yeah, he’s gone off the deep end.”

Cheesy Weezy
Reid walked through the doors of the official Coachella Tragedy Memorial. As she snuck into the restaurant, getting past the workers, she felt no remorse. Instead, she programmed the speakers to play the music that, 7 years ago, hijacked some people’s heads. This piece? It made

We Love ChatGPT (except for the Plot Holes)
Eli Wilkins, this is our man. He's said to clean at the hospital on Mondays and Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm. He was described by his neighbor as " curved" and "alive". We suspect he may have wandered out of the security perimeter. He was last seen November 24 just before midnight
Time is of the essence
My grandparents hate me on both sides of my family I don’t know why. I’m going to find out though. If only I could time travel into the past and find out why. My parents split up for whatever reason and now I want to know more. I’m in college as well and the name is Liliana.

This is fine.
Yesterday I was falling from the sky. Problem was, I forgot how I had gotten there. I looked around for a plane or skydivers…there was empty sky. I felt for a parachute and only felt the back of my shirt. I started to scream and suddenly heard people start to giggle around me.

Puddy’s Ghost
Elaine woke up with the strange sensation of being watched. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she scanned the room in the hopes that it was nothing but that, a sensation. But there, in the corner by the window, she could see a shape she didn't recognize.

The Pixie's Cage
She seemed tired and her gaze was always lost on the horizon, but she was alert. Her long dark hair fell to her narrow waist to rest in a small cage where she reclined. Inside was me.

Dental Health
Felicia drew a deep breath calm her nerves before reaching for the doorknob
Layer Cake of lamentations
It was a stark reminder that things do not always go according to plan.
Blinky’s Lament
I'm the “smart” guy, at least that's what everyone calls me. I have many other skills and hobbies but I get the “smart” label just because I get straight A’s, it's not hard for me you know? I don’t even pay much attention, I just catch up with the subject at the last chance.

Eat your cake and make a break for it too
"Stop," ordered Marcos, sternly. He gazed at the cake in Eden's hand. "You can't have your cake and eat it too." "Marcos, leave me alone. This is my cake! This is my birthday," she explained. "I can eat as much as I want." Marcos was furious as she started to gobble his piece.
Burning down the house
Cyrus Valentine had always been in charge of the household. Her father was in and out of jail and her mother often spent her time flirting with the gas station attendees on main, or shooting up anything she could find.
A grueling contest
"So." Archer put his hand on Delilah's swollen stomach. "What should we name her?"

Waiting for the Blue Beanie
Sarah tapped her fingers against the desk, keeping her eyes on the clock. 2 more minutes. "This is important," her teacher said, pointing at the algebra on the board. Sarah couldn't care less. All that mattered to her was what was going to happen in one minute and thirty seconds.
Deck the Halls with Booze and Ennui!
Today I woke up feeling extremely out of it, I drank too much the night before. This was the start of my first AND LAST hangover.

You all approach a park in which there are beautiful trees and children playing, it is a seemingly normal day… but not for you guys. You are all looking for the one person who summoned you here.
