“On the corner of Heather and Larkspur Ave” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #102

I twisted my head upward, looking at the stars stuck in the sky. It was an eerie evening, one you could picture being in some horror movie with screaming and chainsaws and shit. Only a few street lamps were lit, and everyone I knew was either blacked out in their beds, or the same in someone else’s. Not worrying about nothing, well, nothing other than the job they all forget they had. Most people, don’t typically like the night. As a group, people have always skipped right over it, like a rock over a pond. I’ve wondered why for so long. But ...

“Right or Wrong” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #70

Two planets are seen, slowly moving toward each other, through a cockpit window. “Captain, are you sure about this? If we stay on this trajectory, we’re sure to be dragged into one of the planets!” “No, we’ll make it through!” “Sir! We won’t, there’s no chance! We’ve missed our timing. We’ll all die! You do get that? Don’t you!? Think of the passen-” “You don’t think I’ve thought of them already!? Yes, we may crash, but if we stay here, we’ll all be as good as dead. This is a risk we must take, FOR the passenger, a risk FOR THEIR LIVES!” ...

“A Heaven on Hell” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #59

Night was beginning again and sure enough, an orangish, redlining began to strum the edges of a dusty horizon. Far off somewhere amid the endless miles of dunes walked a half-dead corpse, treading upon what so long ago thrived. But now in every direction, sand stretched across this barren wasteland, engulfing the so-called world few inhabited. What lived, killed, and what was killed, rotted alongside the souls of the living. Each grain of sand this corpse-like-traveler kicked up was one of sin and pain, a breeding ground for death and despai...

“Useless” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #54

A man stood on the corner of a deadly silent and dark street. A distance away, he heard a train pass. Slowly yet surely it made its way across the land humming every so often as if reassuring someone of its presence. The man reached for a watch in his pocket but glanced at it only for a moment before hastily putting it back and looking around. The strange man wore a black suit with black pants and had on an all-black wristwatch. In fact, the only thing that he did wear that wasn’t black was his top hat, which even then was a very dark g...

“Lost” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #51

Trillions of Miles above another earth, a band of astronauts push forward into the darkening abyss, traveling deeper and deeper into enemy territory.Above her were stars, stars which shown like golden flickers frozen in time, giving off life to those planets perfectly aligned in orbit. Every other minute, one or two would blot out of existence. All she could do was wonder whether life was lost. Cassie shivered in her cold, cushionless seat, as she looked around at her surroundings in a boorish manner, desperately wanting to be anywhere ...

“Dark Visions” by Achor

Submitted to Contest #48

One evening in a roadside motel, about twenty years ago, I woke up to the strangest noise. I tore the covers from my ghostly white face and frantically gazed about my room. There was no creature waiting in all black at the edge of my bed, but even still I wouldn’t take any chances. I waited upon my pull-out bed wondering if whatever made the noise would make it again, but nothing came, nothing at all. I pulled out my shotgun, which was propped up, against my bed, and began to make my way to the bathroom. As I turned on the lig...
