Glitch Wipe
Mum couldn’t afford martial arts, so I got a language chip for my birthday instead. Sure, that’s cool and everything, but French doesn’t exactly save you from getting beaten on at school. “Stop hitting me,” isn’t a particularly effective method of getting someone to back off, no matter what language. And it most certainly didn’t work against Eric Jay Benson. He was a rich asshole. Which also made him a black belt rich asshole. His parents had gotten him so many fighting chips he was practically a ninja. The other day at school, he’d even done a triple backflip off the roof when the teachers weren’t watching. Bloody show-offing dick.

Vivi And The Rainbow
Once Upon A Time, in a magical land of flowers and trees, lived a pink unicorn named Vivi. Her mane and tail were yellow and orange, and her hoofs were purple. Although she had all the gifts in the world, love, family, food, and a beautiful house made of leaves, poor Vivi had an unfulfilled dream. She wanted nothing more in the world than to visit the kingdom of rainbows.

Will
The law office of Fielding, Martin, and Holmes was an imposing edifice on Collingswood Boulevard. It was a two-story building around for nearly 40 years. So imposing that John and Deborah Powers felt a bit uneasy, well Deborah or Deb at least. But John held her hand. “It’s just his will being read,” he said. “Who knows? We might get something out of it.”

The Incomplete Elements of Reign.
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I remember thinking this to myself the day it happened, laying upside down on my couch, in the dark living room of my apartment. With Bethoven blaring in my noise canceling headphones and rivers of tears streaming down my face. Staring into my existential void through eloquently transitioned images of space dancing across the tv screen ahead of me. But, that was then.

A Demon Named Frank
Authors Note: This was the first short story I ever wrote, written in a CreepyPasta style and originally posted on the CreepyPasta website. Since writing this story, I have learned a lot and grown as a writer. Subsequently, considered rewriting the story in it’s entirety. But as I started, something about that felt wrong. I’ve decided to leave the story as it is, albeit slightly rudimentary. I hope you enjoy.
