“Human Fools” by Saint Lucifer

Submitted to Contest #87

“No, really, Satan. You are the worst!” Loki said with a contagious grin. “Me? What? Why? I didn’t do anything!” Lucifer looked up from his phone and wondered why he was laughing at him. It was the bi-centennial meeting of Gods in Valhalla, where Lokis Stepfather Odin was welcoming all 70 Gods, that really existed on Earth. These gatherings have always been a big celebration. Everything one wished for could be found there. The Nordic Gods were rehearsing their favorite battles of mankind. The more gore and bloodshed it included, ...

“The heart of Mendax” by Sophie Alexandra Kraus

Submitted to Contest #87

The heart of Mendax The sun came up over the rooftops, peering its golden fingers over the world. At this time, few cars drove by on the generally busy roads. Mendax laid back against the cold wall, letting the first drops of sunlight fall on his face. If he listened closely, he could just overhear the sound of alarms nudging people awake, the birds starting to sing and the thousands of coffees being poured, something he would never understand, far too bitter for his tastes, too boring. He could already smell it coming from most apartments...

“The Winner” by Victor Flute

Submitted to Contest #87

The Winner Puck is always playing tricks. He enjoys watching people become confused but he does not want to harm anyone. Have you ever got ready to go out, walked into the hall and found you car keys are not in the pot on the hall stand? You are sure you put them there when you came in – you always do. You look on the floor in case you dropped them and reach up to search your coat pocket taking a glove out of each pocket to search but putting them carefully back. You need to get going so you go and fetch your spare car keys fro...

“Mischief Maker ” by Rebecca Hackney

Submitted to Contest #87

Lexi snickered from behind the bushes, waiting for the human to fall into her trap. Much like her father, Lexi loved playing pranks however the other gods didn’t appreciate the antics. So Lexi took her mischief to the human world to get her fun in, without her father knowing of course. Just then the human, a man talking on a phone, stepped onto the banana peel and slide down the slanted walkway. Lexi burst into laughter and skipped away looking for her next victim. That night at home the gods were having a meeting, April 1st was coming up ...

“Pixie Pandemonium” by Lyn Carstone

Submitted to Contest #87

Zef giggled while Effie sighed. The two were perched on tree branch awaiting a victim for their current illusionary prank. It was standard fare. A bog had moved into the area and they had spelled the surface of his home to appear like it was still a grassy field and not the swampy marsh thing it had become. Zef, her best friend since they were pixlings, giggled again. Mere months ago, she would have been in the same laughing, high-spirited mood. But lately…lately, the normal zing of excitement from a prank about to be pulled or a heist ...

“Raek in the park” by Nicolas Faucher

Submitted to Contest #87

‘AAhhhhhhh!! Gross!!! I don’t believe it! I was sure I was side-stepping this pile of dog crap! Ugh, this smell hopefully won’t follow me to work!’ Said the man walking at the dog park. His shoe had unfortunately met a pile of dog waste on the dirt path. However, he was in fact correct when he chose to shift his right foot 5 cm to the left of the pile of dog poo. He, unfortunately, was not aware that there was someone else nearby that, by other means unbeknownst to this human, had moved that pile of dog feces 5 cm to the left as well. T...

“About Henry” by Robert Vucsko

Submitted to Contest #87

The new house was big and old, and right now it was full of packed boxes, disorganized furniture, and several unshaven moving men. Henry went off to find his bedroom. “Follow the stairs to the top,” his mother told him, kissing him on the cheek, a practice he allowed only when they were alone. It was funny, the house didn’t look this tall from the outside. Reaching the top and finding a tall set of windows, he looked out over an expanse of thickly wooded hills. “Wow,” Henry said softly. When his dad was around, they some...

“My God , I’m your fool!” by Aruna Bassie

Submitted to Contest #87

Fool me once ..... Fool me once : I wouldn’t even blame you ; I’d blame myself thinking I should have seen the signs , focusing on how I could be that dunce. Fool me twice : I’d expect you to think you were already on thin ice , instead of just believing I’m just not that nice. Fool me thrice : rather than realizing you have issues , why would I choose to think it’s my fault for I’m the cause of our relationship lacking enough sugar & spice. Fool me for the forth time : I still can understand your immature boy’s toys thought process wh...

“Puck” by Kenneth Diao

Submitted to Contest #87

There are a few deities that are quite well known.That is, if you believe in them. Some don’t. But many do.Jesus, Muhammad, Shiva, and Buddha, for example. They’re so famous that they’re mythical, divine. The ones who’ve caught a glimpse of them, or of their doings, are counted as the fortunate, though some suffered terribly for having seen them. Most people know of them through the texts, teachings, and hearsay.There are an uncountable number of unknown deities. Druids, nymphs, fairies, door gods, family gods, minor saints, house gods, and ...

“Steve the Trickster God ” by Shyla Mason

Submitted to Contest #87

Chaotic, powerful, mischievous. These were words that once described me. A force of nature, a god! I was once feared and worshipped by many, the harbinger of misfortune! And on top of all of my astonishing and otherworldly powers, I was also incredibly good-looking. Yes, yes, I was a winner with all the ladies, goddesses and mortals alike. You may not believe me now with this sorry excuse of a body that resembles melted ice-cream, but my looks were once unrivaled by any man. Eight pack abs of steel, a jaw so chiseled it could cut flesh, and ...
