“Master Thief...Big Ass Included” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #56

Trigger warning: sexual assault Out of all my burglary experiences, I’ve encountered many obstacles. Strange and not. They’ve involved anywhere from angry dogs to occupants to Home-Alone-style traps. One time, I even ran across another burglar. Out of all the strange situations I’ve encountered, none of them ever involved a window. A goddamn window. Yeah, I got my ass stuck in a window. Some master thief I am. I was just crawling into the window to get inside and start my raid, and I got stuck halfway through. So now, my b...

“Uh, Is This The Future Or A Different Planet?” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #35

I yawn as I awaken. I look outside and am surprised to see it's still dark. What the heck? I set my clock forward last night, didn't I? I glance at my alarm clock, but to my shock, it's not there. I rise from my bed. Nothing's familiar about this room. For one thing, the white paint on the walls is completely gone except for a few patches of some that have become yellowed and peeled, revealing the brick underneath. The room is also bare and devoid of any of my belongings. I look up and most of the roof is gone. I turn back to my bed. ...

“Bud Lights, Ketchup, and Cereal Killers” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #21

"Alright guys, I got the beers so we can turn this sad, pathetic joint into–what the hell?" I frown as I look around the darkened room. No one's in sight. I glance at my watch. 4:30. I'm right on time, so where the hell is everybody? I didn't get the time wrong, did I? I whip out my phone, swipe right past the news alert about a serial killer on the loose and to the office feed where all events are posted. Yep, the party is scheduled for 4:30 exactly. So where the hell is everybody? Then I think back to what I saw on my phone a few moments ...

“Dawn and Persephone” by Taylor Crosby

Submitted to Contest #20

Chapter 1: Dawn I’m standing on the edge of a cliff. I’m surrounded by strange, humanoid creatures with faces devoid of eyes and noses. But they still have their mouths. And those mouths are moving as the creatures are laughing, laughing at me. “Stop it!” I scream, or at least try to. All that come out are pathetic whimpers. One steps forward and t...

Author bio

I'm a homo sapien (big shock, I know). I like reading and writing pretty much anything (mostly fiction). Also, this is an account I forgot about before making a new one, so the link to the primary one I'll be using is below: https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/author/taylor-crosby-c8a306/
