The Veil of the Multiverse【FLASH FICTION】

Image
The Gate stood before you. Containing sector 9, nay, keeping you out. You are the Creator, and nothing must disturb this hellscape. Down the endless vein of marble you can just make out the blank Eyes of God. The protector. It was all about protection. Until one day you stepped forth and said you wanted out. You wanted to see how the multiverse was organized, and it let you. Everything in perfection. Everything is imperfection. In your time walking the Veil of the Multiverse, the spark in your eye only grew brighter. For only those who can look outside the known can run on top of the known. The Gate was here to stop you from proceeding to sector 9, despite it being your homeland. You left, and there is no turning back. What you have seen you cannot unsee. The Earth is but a pipe dream. You made your choice when you left. And you don't regret it. The Painting Guild you led is not lost without you, but they would aid you were you to lead them. The would follow you across the Veil, to...

Standing Atop and Before the Departure of Our Continent.【FLASH FICTION】

Standing Atop and Before the Departure of Our Continent. "Together, my sister and I sat at the crest of the Rolling Cliffs of Kjalsvyln. Inside my Arkrex Nightingale boots, I used my toes to disable the boost-jump features. It was taxing on the body, and used a considerable amount of Rust coursing through my veins. My sister, Aeliea, was born lucky. Her Golden Rust recharges itself much quicker than my Iron. She hardly ever disabled any one bit of her armor. We've a grave duty to uphold. The riots of Kjal have been growing by the day. The anger at the King is driving the mist away, and letting the thieves and beasts in. With all bad comes greatness, and with all greatness comes despair. We are such thieves and beasts, Aeliea and I. But not a worthless pickpocket or hungry wolf. We seek to fuel their fires. To let them all in. When Kjal breaks, Svyl will lay waste. But that castle in the mist will not stand. With forces worn thin and the strength of two beasts, we siblings will...

Trying to Trick a Demon【FLASH FICTION】

It's been years and I've just realized I'm an idiot. Now, there's a difference between being an idiot and being stupid. I just happen to be both. It was stupid of me to try and trick a demon into giving me immortality. It worked, and for a while it was great. Then the demon realized and cursed me so that every door is essentially a portal to who knows where. It really sucks cause I just want to get home, but that's not the only issue. Sometimes, I'll find the door I walk out of turns out to be the exit of a grocery store or restaurant after days of not eating anything. I just turn around and I'm taunted with a delicious plate of spaghetti! Man, I love that stuff. I will say though, that phrase "you don't know what you have until it's gone" really rings true. Though it's even worse for me cause nothing's actually gone, just slightly out of reach! And then I realized something. Not that I'm an idiot but this is what led to that. A...

Apocalypse Writing Challenge【FLASH FICTION】

It wasn't sudden. Not some mysterious force or natural disaster. We all knew it was coming and no one tried to stop it. Most of the world thinks it is because of the other side, but of course if both sides blamed the other who is really responsible? There have been many squabbles over things like this in the past. And of course by "squabbles" I mean riots, protests, and more. Those don't even begin to compare to this. One year ago today, June 24th, 2084, marks the day of The Falling. I'm sure you already know everything that happened, considering you aren't a four month old baby and are alive, but heck, why not retell what happened. Some new insight could always go a long way if you have any idea of how to fix this as well. In 1903, the airplane was invented. Just over sixty years later, America put the first man on the moon. Heh, seems like child's-play compared to what's been going on in the last fifty or so years. Science has kept up that exponentia...
