Submitted to Contest #263

The Origin of Mr.Riddles:  The World’s Greatest Thief.  I am Ian Query, better known as Mr. Riddles. When I was eighteen years old, I was struck in the head by a bolt of lightning, and my mind was split into two parts: The Wanting and the Question.  The Wanting was a kleptomaniac, it appeared on my shoulder as a green fox with a bushy tail and beady eyes, urging me to steal anything and everything. The Wanting gifted me power, "Look at anything, then picture any place and it will be taken there!” It was incredible! I could t...

“The Turnstile at the End of the Hall” by Alex Solomon

Submitted to Contest #225

I awoke in a hall of mirrors with the strange sensation that I'd been asleep for a long time. Moreover, I had no idea where I was, or how I'd gotten there. My head felt like a snow globe filled with dust. Conversely, the mirrors that surrounded me were so clear, that they could have been carved from slabs of crystal. Even the floors were made of brilliant glass that reflected off a glimmering mirrored ceiling.  ...

John could sense the tears. Why must there always be waterworks? He could also sense the prying eyes of the nosy cafe customers and staff alike.

“The Vanishing Six” by Alex Solomon

Submitted to Contest #186

The Vanishing Six The man pulled the shivering woman closer to his body. All around them, large drops of water thudded obnoxiously against the hard ground.
