Turkey Molar
The unknown is terrifying. Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing. I’m telling my story now because I received another email on Monday from Turkey molar. I figured that I should let others know, just in ...

Turn It Off
I rested my arms behind my head, skim-reading the credits of a movie I'd just watched. After seeing them through about half way, I lifted myself from the sofa and walked to the kitchen, stretching my ...

Turn Off the Light When You Leave
In Finland, there is an old but still inhabited yellow apartment, situated in a small city near an important railroad. Almost all of the people living there are over 70 years old, and in fact it ...

Twenty-Fourth
The story I am about to tell will convince many that I am a madman. Others will only feel sympathy and not believe a thing. The tragedies that have transpired have proved that no man can ...

Twist and Shout
It was late October in Brookhurst Wyoming in the year 1965. I was eighteen, and I lived with my sister in an older barn house, on the edge of town. I loved that little town- especially ...

Twisted Teddy
I suffer from Schizophrenia. Before you jump to any conclusions about me…before that word “schizophrenia” flashes its stigma and makes you think of serial killers, mass shooters, and the like, let me dispel a few things ...

Two Double A’s
One of my first memories as a child was a funeral. My uncle’s funeral. He was my mom’s half-brother and considerably younger than her as he was from her dad’s second marriage. I think he was ...

Two Minutes in the ‘Mancing Field
I'm trying to see myself through the officer's eyes, but I can't seem to manage. To be expected, I suppose. Not big on the whole empathy thing; it can be problematic in my line of work ...

Tyconderoga
Last paper of the term. Only a 500 word paper. Sounds easy, he thought. That will only take a few hours at the most. It was an exercise in tedium. He grabbed his Tyconderoga #2 Pencil ...

U.S.S. February
Radio waves have traveled through and past the Earth's atmosphere for decades. They carried snapshots of humanity out into infinity. Music, broadcasts, TV shows, news commentary; it was all out there, racing away at the speed ...

Unconscious Objection
I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to sleep. Sleep has eluded me for several days at this point, but to sleep is to give up and let guilt destroy me. That's what I call it anyway ...

Under Cover
“Hi, D”. The voice was familiar, perhaps even too familiar for her liking. As she rolled her eyes he briskly walked over to her desk, almost as if her eyes were a hook and she’d caught ...

Under The Blanket
Looking back, I’d say I had a pretty enjoyable childhood, nothing bad ever happened to me. I barely ever got sick, never broke any bones, or got into fights with my cousins when I visited. I ...

Under the Ice
As I lay in my sick bed with my mind muddled, I find it quite impossible to find motivation to continue on and lack the focus to return to my work. Ever since a fantastic yet ...

Under the Ice
6:52 AM Another nightmare. I wake up in a pool of my own sweat. My heart is pounding and my brain feels like its going to break through my skull. Through the window the sun has ...

Under This Thing’s Maw
The tears are impossible to hold back as she watches this... this thing, eat away at all the corpses. The corpses of her co-pilots. Her... closest friends. With clawed, kaiju sized hands, it shovels their remains ...

Underground Families
The Shadow Web is the side of the internet that can’t be found using typical search engines, but instead can only be accessed using downloaded programs that grant you anonymity. It contains some of the sickest ...

Underneath Reality
When I was a kid, I had this recurring nightmare that always preceded the death of a loved one. It wasn't quite a premonition - I didn't know who was going to die, how they would ...

Understanding the Laws of Thermodynamics
This is only happening because of what we did. I regret it, but not because of the consequences. I regret it because I could have been good; I should have been kind. I think we deserve this ...
