Time Hates a Change

Weekly Contest #360

Women and children screaming. Men shouting. Guns shooting. The world below has gone to absolute hell in a hand basket. I can’t believe the city I know and love could come to this. There’s a fire at the market down the street, Mr. Wang’s store in another life. I think it’s called Beezer’s Deluxe Wares now. Somewhere downtown, the mayor’s corpse dangles from a street light. Angry mob did him in a few hours ago. There appear to be shooting stars zipping through the night sky, but that’s all wishful thinking. Truth is, they’re rockets. Missiles....

Wizarding Agency for National Defense: Ice to Ski You

Weekly Contest #332

The Rift

Weekly Contest #155

In New Hampshire, when the leaves begin to change, the trees appear to be alight with flame, the somber bronzes and ambers glinting in the falling sun. The peaceful atmosphere–with the gentle hoots of waking owls and the muted whine of the cicadas–contrasted the panic and chaos soon to occur within an inn far from the hustle and bustle of Rochester. The air, cool with the premonition of oncoming winter, would soon be filled with tension, as a group of men led another through the dimly lit halls of this majestic old manor. The failing daylig...
