“The Butler Didn't Do It! ” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #70

Honestly, to be accused of a crime I did not commit is really quite insulting. I, Gerald Hesmsorth, have always been and will continue to be an honest man. I have served my master with unwavering loyalty for the past twenty-seven years as all good butlers should. My reputation for honesty and trustworthiness had served me no good use when someone murdered my master on the night of his New Years Celebration.Ms. Bullsworth discovered his corpse in the Study Room with a knife protruding from the base of his neck. Such an un...

“The Perfect Reality” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #67

I opened my eyes. I reached out of my bed, trying to feel the smooth surface of my phone. Sure, I could have just picked myself out of bed, faced my stand, and snatched up my phone, but I was too lazy to put in any of the effort. Suddenly it dawned on me, why did I need to use a phone to tell the time in the first place? Isn’t that what clocks were for? Imagine using a phone to tell the time! I laughed at such a crazy ...

“A Spirit's Wrath” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #64

My name is Pytor Alexandr Ivano. I am deceased. For how long, I cannot say. I have never known the time since my arrival. Time hardly means anything anymore. Years start morphing together till you can’t tell when one ends, and the other begins. Whether there's a Heaven or Hell, I do not know. Any place would be better than this castle, which I am confined to wander. I am not the only one here. I’ve seen others. I’ve watched many appear and fade out of existence. I do not know where they go, but I know that I will be joining them soon....

“Sweet Revenge ” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #61

1.It was a bitter, cold night. The bark of the trees in the Cursed Forest twisted this way and that, like long thick stems of black licorice. Their tops, although not top-heavy with leaves, curved downward. It was called the Cursed Forest, based on the fact it was devoid of all life. Not a single green leaf or a green slip of grass ever grew. The Cursed Forest was no place for a child, yet two little kids, a boy and a girl, tried the best they could to keep warm. Two twigs lay on the g...

“My Bodacious Girlfriend From Outer Space” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #56

It was the end of the frinkin’ world; Armageddon, The Big Ka-Boom, World War I-I-I, you get me? You get me. Imagine your life as a freakin’ Micheal Bay movie. High power explosions everywhere, buildings crashing to the ground, bullets, and missiles practically falling from the sky and aliens invading the planet. Oh, yeah, aliens are totally real, bro. I already knew of their existence when I was like 14 or so. My cousin knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy’s uncle, who got abducted by aliens. Since then, I was a believer in the little...

“Ms. Uval's American Christmas” by WRL Battle

Submitted to Contest #55

1. The town of Duelton, Ohio fell under a deep and peaceful sleep. Despite it being two days before Christmas, kids swore they heard sleigh bells coming from the giant hills miles away. Christmas lights filled the empty roads with a rainbow of festive colors. Placed in the windows of every store, establishment, and home the electric candles turned the town into a cluster of stars. It was a sight of contentment, and everything was right with the world. If only if it were true. A ravenous, tyra...
