“Lick, lick, lick, I wished I could have engulfed the mighty appendage. Did I paint an adequate mental image, my dear?” The short man had indeed painted a very nasty picture. One with his body. Another picture with his words. Locus had introduced her miniature friend as Fink, a tattooed and burly human engineer with a lower member that could only be described as cap like, relating to the algaric plant genome, with gills under the head. His other appendages were an amalgamation of steel gears and flesh, his arm being partly exposed. What a strange choice to be part primitive machine and part imp, thought Angel Read More

Super Psycho – Short Story (Superhero)

Posted on by Cyber Wave

Saturday: I leaped off a building. Scary. Not as much fun as I thought. The cape was a nice touch. Soaring through the streets I found the street filthy with trash and hordes of trash people. Do they really deserve to be saved? They certainly don’t deserve to know my true identity. I know what they’ll say, that the mask is a deception, that I’m hiding behind it. But I’m not a liar. Being a hero out ways any wrongdoing that might be perceived by the liars. At 315PM I found the bomb implanted on the bridge into the city. Disarmed it. Saw a school bus and the kids cheered me. Another day. Another duty fulfilled. Still didn’t make the news.

This city’s falling apart and no one is doing anything about it. Crime on the streets. It needs to be cleansed Read More

Black and White Artifact – Short Story

Posted on by Cyber Wave

The dirt was dry around his pale, white fingers, the tree root was hard but he could sense something round and smooth deeper in. The air had been calm for these last peaceful moments. A peace that would be short-lived once the Azarians and Kaucuns continued their battle beyond the forest. Everything had felt like it was falling apart but this one object that he pulled from the dirt might push everything back together again. It could fix everything Read More

Radioactive Warlord – Short Story

“We are falling.”

“No. We’re rising.” General Harion held his chin up shifting the cavalry sword at his side.

“Our great nation may be conquering the world but we will have nothing left but mud and dirt. Our planet is becoming one of sorrow. A kingdom of death. Illusia and the rest of Verthurst will never be the same.” Said General Pyre, noticing that the other four generals were just as nervous as him.

General Harion however was the only one in attendance that still wore his decorative eagle helm and chest plate, signaling his defiance of empathy and promoting his loyalty to the nation of Illusia to the others Read More

“Error. Error. Power source unstable. Life support offline. Trial period is about to expire. Error. Life signs not found…No oxygen found. Attempting to contact Hallett Starship….Attempt failed. Error. Errer found. Recursion error found. Error has reerr9er…Errorer.”

Her eyes blinked to life, mechanical motors clicked when she expanded her retinal apertures. Her stomach churned with the fans placed near her heart to keep it cool. Old but new with life. Angel awoke to find herself faced with several warning messages on the life capsule. “No oxygen found. No life signs found. Are you OK? Errooorrrrr. Press OK if you’re alive. Are…errorr you alive?” She didn’t know if she should. She wasn’t alive. But she wasn’t dead Read More

Phantom Image – Short Story

“It’s an old TV but it still works.” Said his boss. “The guy who owned it died in his living room. His daughter brought it in. A few lines on the top here but its barely noticeable.”

Thomas stared at a blotch on the lower right. It was slightly more noticeable and he questioned whether it was worth the sale price. “What about that?”

His boss rubbed the screen where Thomas pointed and said, “Are you sure it’s not the glare Read More

The Censure Ship – Short Story

Posted on by Cyber Wave

Oceanus spread out across the horizon, out beyond the Suffering Bay, as far as Princess Madison could see from this high on the gate’s main tower. The Gods must be happy this day if they blessed her consort with such calm and passive weather. “All immigrant ships should be destroyed.” Bellowed Decius, his haughty royal robes flapping from his gesturing hands. The oceanic winds blew from the distant lands to the west. Only a few immigrant ships from Meternia were allowed through the massive gates of Eurasia. Their flags revealed that they were Perisian in origin, a port in the Black Sea most likely Read More

The Skitters – Short Story

Posted on by Cyber Wave

“They lay their eggs in your mouth at night and when the suckers hatch, they crawl inside your body and eat the juiciest parts of you, your muscle.”

“Stop playin'” the bucktooth man didn’t look like a government scientist to Jay. “You ain’t never lived in Middleton and you ain’t probably never worked in no air force base.”

“I may be shady but I’m not a liar.” Said the man most people called Beggar Bob. The abandoned house was starting to get cold. Jay was starting to get used to the smell but not the smell of moldy milk that Bob gave off. “They eat out your teeth first, probably for calcium, and then go right after your muscles, then your bones.” He smiled his gap tooth grin Read More

Esoterica – Short Story

Posted on by Cyber Wave

There’s an island floating off the coast of Bloomcester, near the harbor town of Sacred Falls. It’s been there since a few weeks past and the townspeople say it’s full of magic and mystery and that only the most noble and honorable have access to its divine splendor. Almost like a shapely cloud the island in the sky stood motionless high enough above the ocean that only the bottom rock of the mass was visible from underneath. Large canvas balloons were employed to reach the floating island. The noblemen and shamans who traveled there returned changed. To the local residents they appeared to have been transformed into half-animal, half-human. They left as knights, lords, and ladies and returned as gods and goddesses Read More

Castle of Dreams – Short Story

Posted on by Cyber Wave

Her mother told her about this place. It was meant to contain the dreams of the Shamuk and their brethren. Long ago the castle stood as a monument of the Shamuk Empire and its might. During the Verdon period the Varians invaded and destroyed most of what remained of the empire, tossing their scriptures and enchanted tomes to the wind. As Talia stood there, in front of the four pillars that represented the seasons, she contemplated how the empire came to ruin.

Her mother would have disapproved of her coming here on her 16th birthday to rid herself of the nightmares that kept her from sleep. She would have preferred that Talia be a good peasant girl and go to the Lawdian mosque near the town square, which to Talia were a bunch of pagan forest worshippers. How could they help her against the evil demons that haunted her? They only knew how to pasteurize farmlands and would often obsess over nature. This time though she would finally rid herself of the demons for good, for the Castle of Shamuk was said to be a gateway between the living world and the world beyond Read More
