“Grimjar” by A. Kangiser

Submitted to Contest #167

The walls of reality bulge as the sky pours down whispers of death from above. Red sky, red clouds, red death. Little forms scurry about; man.. animal..? They seem familiar to a distant part of the consciousness but in a strange way they seem foreign as well. I look each of them over to gauge if they are the ones responsible for summoning me.Zaxxle: "There now.. isn't this better..?"The intrusive thought comes from everywhere and nowhere all at once to reverberate around in the confines of my skull.I grunt in agreement peering out into ...

“What it takes to see the light” by A. Kangiser

Submitted to Contest #92

Jeb leans back against the wall and cocks the hammer on his double-action revolver. The click~click his pistol makes gives him a sense of false security. Sweat drips down into his eyes causing his vision to blur. He is upstairs lying on his side in the moonlit hallway between the bathroom and bedroom door. The rustle of leaves can be heard skittering across the roof just beyond the peak. “Show yourself.” Jeb yells down to the floor below.No answer comes as lightning cracks a brilliant tear in the sky, illuminating the entire house....
