War of the Dead
The power does it to everyone. It corrupts us all, or at least those of us who embrace it. Although we dive right in to be swept away by the black waters of necromancy, it's not ...

Warehouse Of Damnation
Running, that is how it started, that is how it ended. The one thing I could always rely on, some call it the coward’s way, I call it surviving. I was running that day, as always, ...

Warning Sign
My wife and I were driving down a dark road, on our way to Colorado for our honeymoon. It had to be around midnight and I'd been driving for hours. My wife was fast asleep in ...

Warnock’s Dilemma
I don't know how to start things. Partly, I think, that's because I don't know where this all...started. Began? I'll start with me. I'm 25, working from home for a call center. It's an alright gig ...

Washington’s Inconceivable
Let me begin by stating that I have always had a fascination with nature and its creatures. Even at a young age, I would watch documentaries that explained nature, its inhabitants and humanity's place as the ...

Watch for Deer
The roads are different at night. It's something my mom used to say all the time. She said it when I was a child in the back seat, and she said it when she was teaching ...

Watch Out For The… Wait, What?
Driving home at night, you notice that all the lights in your house/apartment are on. As you park the car, they all turn off at the same time. The house is empty and the doors are ...

Watchmen Woods
My name isn't really important...but for the sake of this story, let's just say I'm Ruby. Yeah, that works. In any case, I'm currently a junior in high school, I've got a lot of friends, and ...

Water Puppet
Some people call me a hero. I can’t disagree with them, because it’s actually kind of true. Believe it or not, I’ve saved a drowning man, pulled a girl from a burning building, and I even ...

We All Die In the End
I watched, unable to muster the courage to jump in after her, as my sister fell down the cliff edge. My voice was hoarse from shouting her name and I saw that her body was submerged ...

We are all one, be one with us
Truth is, most people can't handle the truth and most often prefer to live in the comfort of their own delusions. Very few of us are an exception to this, I thought I was and now ...

We Called Her Stitch-Face
Stitch-face sat three desks in front of me in grade three. We called her that because her upper lip had a hitch on the right side. An animal had bitten her, or that’s the story we ...

We Chose Hell
HELLO. My name is Max Regnier. My story begins at the end – if there is an end. I’ve been consigned to the fourth circle of Hell. If you’ve ever read Dante’s “Inferno,” or even if ...

We Discovered Something in Deep Space
43 years ago, on the 5th of September 1977, a space probe was launched from Earth, and sent on an endless journey through space. The probe, which was affectionately named Voyager 1, contained a multitude of ...

We Dream of the Quiet Dark
I crawl. Thirsty. Bitter. So bitter, but I must eat them. The things that grow. They came here in a recent time. The growths are bright. They have a neck, and there is a ball on ...

We Few Are Many
Just the concept alone was enough to draw me in. “An internet underneath the internet. The dark web,” is how my old friend Kyle described it to me. It wouldn’t be until he gave me a ...

We Found a Cave During Our Annual Hiking Trip
Summer for me and my friend, Jake, usually only meant one thing: Endless hiking trips in the mountainous terrain around our city. While traveling far away was a luxury we couldn't afford, we'd frequently spent the ...

We found an abandoned structure in the middle of the wilderness. I wish we hadn’t.
Just outside of the town I live in, there is a massive densely wooded park that is largely forgotten. It’s not that people don’t know it is there, but it’s simply more of an afterthought. It’s ...

We found God and now she’s stealing our breath
We were just some dumb seniors in high school when we found it. A rowdy bunch who barely paid attention in class and spent most of the time just drinking. It was just us; Jonathan, Mason ...

We Found Heaven, and It Was Empty
Nearly three decades ago, work had begun on a machine that could punch a hole through the fabric of reality. A hole straight through to another reality and beyond. The idea was that, with the right ...
