“The secret of power” by Keerththan 😀

Nobody noticed Jake's absence during the English class in the only college in the city. Jake loved technology. So, he took the computer science stream. Mrs. Norwich, the English lecturer for the class, had switched on the television in the class when a college staff member came and whispered something. She was a tall, young woman with black hair and large spectacles.The news flashed,"The Big Jumper is having another encounter with the Trapshot"."Wow!", shouted the excited students. The Big Jumper was a hero in th...

“Rebel Prince” by 𝔸𝔼ℝ𝕀ℕℕℕ 𝔹! 🌈

I just didn’t get it. Like, at all. I mean, I tried to understand the thought process of everyone in Tyala—my father especially—but I always wound up in the same place: 100% confuzzled. Okay? So sue me for not understanding why everything anybody ever wanted was to be plain and normal. To fit in. I’m not going to do some big speech, or sing some big song like Bell...

“The Nightmare Warriors” by Orenda .

With a glass full of chill vodka in one hand and a doraemon pen in the other, Wren stares at the ever so puzzling math problems lying in front of her.I do be regretting my college choices. She scribbles some anime figures on the surface of her desk, fills in a few random numbers in the blanks on the paper, texts her friends and after awhile, throws her hands into the air as if surrendering to the questions.“Why don’t you solve your own problems, eh?” And with that, she pushes ...

“Chaos is a Friend of Mine: Part Four” by Rhondalise Mitza

Ochd. I woke up. “Hey.” I looked up. No one was there that I could see. “Hey.” Where was I? There was someone who was still trying to talk to me but they were too far away and there were miles and miles of my head saying what are they saying and I couldn’t think straight anymore. “I see you waki...

“The Downfall of Miguel-Michel Hernandez” by Sarah Freeman

Miguel-Michel Hernandez, or MM as he liked to be called, had a power. A superpower, one might call it. His power was that he was always, always able to escape. The nineteen-year-old knew this, and took advantage of it as much as he could. He performed daredevil stunts because he knew there was no way for him to fail. He even committed crimes that would’ve landed him a lifetime of confinement—but, obviously, he escaped. MM w...

“Emerge From The Ashes” by Jen Park

Who am I?I think, staring at the pearl-white waves of the emerald ocean. I do not know. Some say I am a Phoenix. A Phoenix, like any other ones, who rose from ashes.When two Phoenixes fall in love, one of their hearts (Phoenixes have seven hearts in total) burn so badly that they become ashes. When the two ashes meet together, a fire rises and it becomes a newborn Phoenix.Some fires are too tiny and weak that the wind blows them away before they can begin their life...

“The Mission” by A-k-s-h-a-t A-t-a-l

As Blackbang trudged through the snow, he thought of his mission: kill the nefarious ringleader of C.R.O.W., a syndicate that targeted the top leaders of the world. That would be relatively easier than his other missions: kill an assassin from a rooftop 3 acres away, kidnap a gang leader, and many others that had earned him the title of “Shadow.” He had accomplished all of this through one thing: his supe...

“My Unique Superhero Experience” by Corey Melin

Susan is trapped and didn’t have a clue about what to do. In front of her is a villain that towered over her, with an evil looking expression on his scruffy face. His jet black hair is stiffened into spikes so he looked like a porcupine, and his face pierced in numerous locations with studs. He wore dark coveralls and what looked like metal gloves that went up to his elbows. He wore jet-powered boots, which exp...

“Einstein's Other Theory” by Deborah Mercer

What do you think would be the Number One choice of superpower? Oh yes, most of us think it could be both fascinating and useful, not to mention thrilling to be able to fly, and the benefits of being invisible are – not the most appropriate of expressions! – glaringly obvious. Or perhaps not as paradoxical as it seems – did you know that during World War 2 they camouflaged ships by something called “dazzling”? ...

“#The Chosen One#” by Abigail Slimzy

Supernatural power is a gift that anyone could wish to have. In the land of Olamili, it was known that the inhabitants were terrorized and haunted by the invaders from neighbouring lands. The king, Igwe Ugodibua was known for his firmness and justice. The villagers lived in total fear of the unknown. At sunset, men of the land in their numbers start running home to protect their wives, children and yam barns. They were all known for their hardworking and strong zeal. The invaders were always at alert to get what they wanted without the pe...

“Paradox of Control” by Madhurima Giri

"Hailie!" "Yes mother?" "Were you counting the spoons, plates and glasses again?" mother asked angrily. "Did I say numbers out loud?" I asked innocently. "yes." She said confused "Did I use the words spoons, plates and glasses?" "Yes?" she said not sure where this was going "Then I may have been counting spoons, plates and glasses 'again'" I said stressing on again knowing...

“I” by Harken Void

I can control people’s minds. Freaky, right? I can have complete and utter control over what people think, what they do, and what they say. I can make them feel what I want them to feel, make them believe what I want them to believe and I can do it all without them even noticing me. That includes you. You are under my control. Right now, I am running your life. And you have no idea I’m ...

“The Cost of One” by I. F.

I lived with my parents in a trailer park outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba, in the prairies of Canada. Both of them were clairvoyant -their memories dipped into the past and the future- which was quite rare. It’s one thing to be able to see the future but to find and marry someone else who could do the same seldom happened. My parents ran a small restaurant on the side of a busy highway. Eventually, the health inspector was...

“Cody Bannister, Unsung Superhero” by Emilie Scarchilli

From the outside, 582 Gambit Lane did not look like the home of a superhero—not even the home of a superhero’s secret underground hideaway. The neighborhood boys thought it was mysterious enough for at least half a Batcave, but 582 Gambit Lane was simply the home of the large Bannister family—Mr. Bannister, Mrs. Bannister, all seven children from Arnold down to Maisie, and Trixie, the golden doodle who somehow turned out chocolate brown.Aside from their unusual size, the Bannister family was quite ordinary. Mr. and Mrs. Bannister r...
