“Ghost” by Crazy Crypto

Submitted to Contest #144

"He needs the new set of photos by midnight." It's not my problem. How did it get this way? He used to shoot photos for high school graduations and weddings. The porn business just paid really well. Too well. Too well to quit his job. He walked up the narrow staircase muttering to himself all the while, trying to compensate for his nerves he began humming a little tune. He was supposed to meet this woman at 2pm at her studio apartment to take some pictures, and she didn't come to the door. Someone let him in, and now he was walking up the...

“Project NEM” by Crazy Crypto

The voices turned into nothingness. Finally…and then just as suddenly everything was pain again. I moaned…I woke up and saw people looking down from over me. Then I looked down and saw blood all over my stomach. At my side stood my friends and at my right stood my sister, Molly. My sister was alive? “Molly?” She looked upset.

And then the tears started streaming from my eyes, “I...

The one percent, of the few atop this hierarchy, wanted her gone. They warned the resistance that if they did not turn the sisters over to The Eyes, they would all be marked. For years the memory of a city that never slept reminded us that we could climb the highest heights, the tallest ladders and that was all the mattered in our minds, while these broken walls and ruined dreams left an arch that no one could find save for one. This was a very different world and a very different city.

“The Girl Called Esme ” by Crazy Crypto

Submitted to Contest #102

As I sit here in the future, I am an adult of twenty-three, and I want to share you the life a little girl named Esme. Esme lived in the realm of fantasy; she was a child born of the wrong time in the wrong century. She believed in more than this world could handle, and therefore was given a secret lobotomy that failed and now she is living two lives, and in one of them they locked up all the kitchen knives. She can't control her gnosis, nor could eventually the psychosis. So now she writes to keep the demons at bay. Hoping the man in the sk...
