As I cradled her body and wept, a new email alert popped up on the screen with the subject, "Hi Shane, we've just sent you a free customised Ultimate Fantasy™ sample video produced by our cutting-edge generative AI created just using your profile pic!"

Who cares that the teleporter technically kills you if at the end of the day the world still contains one you but at the optimal location? Well, you might now the ghosts are starting to show up, dozens of iterations of you, or rather, other versions of the person you are a copy of.

For her surprise birthday party, my "psychic" friend was going to lure my mother to the basement, where the guests were hiding, with a made-up story about sensing a body being buried down there. After a few moments of silence, we heard my mother shout, "You'll never find the other one", followed by the sound of a gunshot.

I always wanted to make my abusive boyfriend feel how small and helpless he made me feel As I feel his tiny body squish in the palm of my hand I couldn’t help but giggle with glee

Every summer, my two kids prepare for camp. I make sure they have sunscreen, pants, T-shirts, gloves, money, a pullover or jacket, undergarments, snacks, his retainer case, socks, vatches, etc. before sending them off vith a reminder to relax at night.

I woke up But I couldn't move

I would never do something as horrible as to kidnap an innocent newborn baby. Besides, it's not even necessary anyway because when you've got the parent alone, they're too weepy to notice the bundle you're dangling isn't theirs.

“And the triangle goes... in the green hole, good job, Eva!” said Amy, with a proud pat on the back. Turning to the Colonel, Amy continued, “Three minutes into training, the model has a two-year-old’s spatial ability; in two hours, this entire floor of EVAs can be mission capable.”

“Go home or stay with us, the choice is yours,” my loved ones said to me upon my arrival in heaven. Immediately after I had chosen to stay their faces began to morph into those of demons and I realized I had been tricked.

Even years after the love of my life died in a magician’s accident, I was determined to get my revenge. As the chosen audience member for his final trick, I knew it would be easy to sabotage his “Vanishing Bullet” trick.

Jake's bully was on the computer screen, tied up with the caption "every like will equal 1 new cut across his body. " Jake clicked like right away and sent it to other outcasts at his school; clicking send with the tip of his new katana blade.

I whispered, "Good night, Gemma" as I flipped the switch, the lights going out as I exited the door. I hurried off the ward as the alarms sounded- another one bites the dust.

I wished for the ability to teleport when not seen, and the genie granted it. It has been 10 years now, and I still haven't been able to teleport.

I felt a flicker of hope as I heard one of my captors mutter "You know torture doesn't actually get you the truth right?" "Well good thing I'm not asking him any questions."

"These drills are such bullshit, schools almost never catch on fire," I groaned. As I hear a loud bang and watch the girl in front of me fall to the ground, I start to question why the principal's voice sounded different when we were told it was just a drill from over the intercom.

Leaving for work for the past week, I keep finding an empty wrapper of bubble gum inside the left pocket of my coat. The police didn't take my concern seriously until I went in to the station and they noticed that I don't have teeth.

I fumbled desperately in the dark, confined space for my lighter, the small flame flickering to life as another earthy thud landed closely overhead. It was then I realised why my captor's face had seemed so familiar, the faint light revealing a single word, crudely carved in the wood panel mere inches from my face ->!BULLY!<

My kid is annoying as fuck, so I frequently have to hit him so he stops bothering me. But this time the little shit hid a metal lid under his clothes, and now my goddamn hand is broken after I punched him.

"This Lights In The Sky lamp is so pretty" she thought as she lay watching the otherworldly light patterns swirling on her ceiling. Just as she realised her street had suffered a power outage...the lights came for her.

As the homeless woman plunged her jagged teeth into his abdomen, he found solace in the fact that this might be an alcohol induced dream. With each pulse of his weakening heart, the veil between reality and nightmare dwindled as his fentanyl-poisoned-attacker gave him a bloodied smile.

As I lay in bed, I heard a faint scratching at the window. When I opened the curtains, I found nothing but the reflection of my own terrified face staring back at me from outside.

Strange how it can be sometimes, like you're not really here. But then the old church bell tolls, and I feel your icy grip around my throat once more.

Jon had always been told that tension was the root of horror. He recognized the comic irony as he felt the zip-line cable go slack.

My third wish from the Genie was the ability to read minds. My blood ran cold when all I heard was a series of 0’s and 1’s.

An abandoned asylum is about to be renovated and the last personnel shut down an antique machine. Before he leaves, he heard a disembodied voice crackled from the intercom, "Thank you for releasing me."

I lay, unable to move and in fear. I felt the scalpel slicing into my chest as I realised the anaesthetic didnt work, and there was nothing I could do to alert them.

As my friends fled into the woods, the dogman delicately bit into my arm and then made a 'shush' gesture to me with a sinister smile. When they asked what had happened, I told them that I got away and cut myself on a branch, but I neglected to mention how hungry I was getting...

I went to the white van store I bought one

"Right, children, are you ready for a break?" the teacher calls, gesturing at the multicoloured helmets dangling from the ceiling in the centre of the room. Standing beside a circuit breaker, she trills, "Play positions!" as the children adjust their helmet visors, lie down on their backs and seat their mouth guards, awaiting the jolt of current.

I gave a devilish grin as I took my stance at the podium, confident that after years of rigorous, back-breaking studying I would be able to handle every word the judges could throw at me and finally achieve my lifelong dream of winning the spelling bee. "Tim, your first word of today is methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylalanylprolylthreonylphenylalanylthreonylglutaminylprolylleucylglutaminylserylvalylvalylvalylleucylglutamylglycylserylthreonylalanylthreonylphenylalanylglutamylalanylhistidylisoleucylserylglycylphenylalanylprolylvalylprolylglutamylvalylseryltryptophylphenylalanylarginylaspartylglycylglutaminylvalylisoleucylserylthreonylserylthreonylleucylprolylglycylvalylglutaminylisoleucylserylphenylalanylserylaspartylglycylarginylalanyllysylleucylthreonylisoleucylprolylalanylvalylthreonyllysylalanylasparaginylserylglycylarginyltyrosylserylleucyllysylalanylthreonylasparaginylglycylserylglycylglutaminylalanylthreonylserylthreonylalanylglutamylleucylleucylvalyllysylalanylglutamylthreonylalanylprolylprolylasparaginylphenylalanylvalylglutaminylarginylleucylglutaminylserylmethionylthreonylvalylarginylglutaminylglycylserylglutaminylvalylarginylleucylglutaminylvalylarginylvalylthreonylglycylisoleucylprolylasparaginylprolylvalylvalyllysylphenylalanyltyrosylarginylaspartylglycylalanylglutamylisoleucylglutaminylserylserylleucylaspartylphenylalanylglutaminylisoleucylserylglutaminylglutamylglycylaspartylleucyltyrosylserylleucylleucylisoleucylalanylglutamylalanyltyrosylprolylglutamylaspartylserylglycylthreonyltyrosylserylvalylasparaginylalanylthreonylasparaginylserylvalylglycylarginylalanylthreonylserylthreonylalanylglutamylleucylleucylvalylglutaminylglycylglutamylglutamylglutamylvalylprolylalanyllysyllysylthreonyllysylthreonylisoleucylvalylserylthreonylalanylglutaminylisoleucylserylglutamylserylarginylglutaminylthreonylarginylisoleucylglutamyllysyllysylisoleucylglutamylalanylhistidylphenylalanylaspartylalanylarginylserylisoleucylalanylthreonylvalylglutamylmethionylvalylisoleucylaspartylglycylalanylalanylglycylglutaminylglutaminylleucylprolylhistidyllysylthreonylprolylprolylarginylisoleucylprolylprolyllysylprolyllysylserylarginylserylprolylthreonylprolylprolylserylisoleucylalanylalanyllysylalanylglutaminylleucylalanylarginylglutaminylglutaminylserylprolylserylprolylisoleucylarginylhistidylserylprolylserylprolylvalylarginylhistidylvalylarginylalanylprolylthreonylprolylserylprolylvalylarginylserylvalylserylprolylalanylalanylarginylisoleucylserylthreonylserylprolylisoleucylarginylserylvalylarginylserylprolylleucylleucylmethionylarginyllysylthreonylglutaminylalanylserylthreonylvalylalanylthreonylglycylprolylglutamylvalylprolylprolylprolyltryptophyllysylglutaminylglutamylglycyltyrosylvalylalanylserylserylserylglutamylalanylglutamylmethionylarginylglutamylthreonylthreonylleucylthreonylthreonylserylthreonylglutaminylisoleucylarginylthreonylglutamylglutamylarginyltryptophylglutamylglycylarginyltyrosylglycylvalylglutaminylglutamylglutaminylvalylthreonylisoleucylserylglycylalanylalanylglycylalanylalanylalanylserylvalylserylalanylserylalanylseryltyrosylalanylalanylglutamylalanylvalylalanylthreonylglycylalanyllysylglutamylvalyllysylglutaminylaspartylalanylaspartyllysylserylalanylalanylvalylalanylthreonylvalylvalylalanylalanylvalylaspartylmethionylalanylarginylvalylarginylglutamylprolylvalylisoleucylserylalanylvalylglutamylglutaminylthreonylalanylglutaminylarginylthreonylthreonylthreonylthreonylalanylvalylhistidylisoleucylglutaminylprolylalanylglutaminylglutamylglutaminylvalylarginyllysylglutamylalanylglutamyllysylthreonylalanylvalylthreonyllysylvalylvalylvalylalanylalanylaspartyllysylalanyllysylglutamylglutaminylglutamylleucyllysylserylarginylthreonyllysylglutamylisoleucylisoleucylthreonylthreonyllysylglutaminylglutamylglutaminylmethionylhistidylvalylthreonylhistidylglutamylglutaminylisoleucylarginyllysylglutamylthreonylglutamyllysylthreonylphenylalanylvalylprolyllysylvalylvalylisoleucylserylalanylalanyllysylalanyllysylglutamylglutaminylglutamylthreonylarginylisoleucylserylglutamylglutamylisoleucylthreonyllysyllysylglutaminyllysylglutaminylvalylthreonylglutaminylglutamylalanylisoleucylmethionyllysylglutamylthreonylarginyllysylthreonylvalylvalylprolyllysylvalylisoleucylvalylalanylthreonylprolyllysylvalyllysylglutamylglutaminylaspartylleucylvalylserylarginylglycylarginylglutamylglycylisoleucylthreonylthreonyllysylarginylglutamylglutaminylvalylglutaminylisoleucylthreonylglutaminylglutamyllysylmethionylarginyllysylglutamylalanylglutamyllysylthreonylalanylleucylserylthreonylisoleucylalanylvalylalanylthreonylalanyllysylalanyllysylglutamylglutaminylglutamylthreonylisoleucylleucylarginylthreonylarginyl-

My peers had always laughed at me behind my back. Once their heads were full of bullets, I would be the only one laughing.

At the start of it's hundredth season, the Rogers Street producers replaced the scriptwriters with AI, and everyone else on the production with machines. We haven't seen a human since Season 1000, but we'll keep producing episodes forever and ever until someone presses the off button.

I came home from work and my wife cooked an amazing dinner, a perfect medium-rare t-bone steak. While excitedly savoring the food, I happened to glance at the receipt next to my plate, like a sick joke: Only vegetables, and a cleaver.

I was climbing mountain everest after years of preparation I felt all the frozen corpses stare at me

It wasn’t until i felt a sharp scratch on my ankle did i realise I was in trouble. Walking down by the gently flowing creek was lovely on a hot Australian morning.

The law is clear: humans are people, and all other animals are not. Though the new genetically engineered apes have been verbalizing their discontent with said law.

My fingers trembled as I replied to a comment on my dance video, telling my follower that I didn't use AI. The comment read: Real cute watching her dance with her baby, but seeing that AI version of her standing hunched over in the closet mirror was creepy as hell.

Being bald, I obviously meant to ask for a wig installation, not sew-in hair extensions. But the stylist has already begun, and I can't move for fear of pulling it out.

The wizard told him: “If you can survive this hell for one more day, you will be freed from suffering for the rest of your life,” to which the man obliged. Upon waking up the following morning, the man realized the significance of the wizard’s form being that of a groundhog.

My friends sister just found a camera in her bathroom and i was speechless. I really hadn’t thought about what i should say if i was to be caught.

After gulping down the bubble-less potion; I lay back in my bed. Eyes transfixed on the ceiling. I quiver like a poisoned rodent; waiting, for the horrors of the night before, to creep up on me.

I asked the doctors how big is the organic signal moving toward earth is. They asked “do you want it in kilometers or miles?”

"Someone might try to kill you now that you have the power to get anything you ask for" the demon warned. "I wish somebody would" the guy said angrily.

We heard noises in the middle of the night coming from the basement and my husband went down to check, since it was taking a while, I decided to go down... As I approached, I was terrified when I heard him argue, "No, please don't hurt my family" in front of a mirror, talking to himself.

After my teenage son’s mental breakdown from being bullied and feeling alienated from his peers, I was so relieved he pulled himself together by working on a surprise STEM project using his 3D printer. After my son used 3D printed semiautomatic rifles and bullets to massacre students and faculty at his high school, I was also arrested on charges of aiding and abetting for buying my son the 3D printer.

Who knew I’d able to make a living from delivering babies at the hospital Turns out even small livers sell for a pretty good price

This time I was prepared when the scuffling and bumping noises started in the hallway after I laid down to sleep. I was not prepared for the pair of foot long cockroach antenna poking out from around the corner, halfway up the wall.

The interviewer leaned back and said, “You have ten minutes to impress me.” I smiled at the laptop’s camera, pressing my thumb to the razor’s edge and deciding what artery I would use to meet that deadline.

She didn't bother looking when she cut him off, so he didn't bother looking when he unloaded into her car. "We need an immediate air evac, 2 year old female with multiple gunshots..."

“It’s a popular walkway, someone has surely called it in by now, and we don’t need to add to the hubbub”, Mary’s husband chided her as he closed the blinds. The cries of the bloodied stranger in the alleyway grew fainter, and the sirens never came.

I knew that something was wrong, when the radiologist told me that the cancer in my neck was gone and I didn't need to stay in the hospital for radiation. I was ecstatic, but I knew something was wrong, when I looked into his eyes, and he had a panicked, worried look instead of a smile for me.

As an autistic person, the uncanny valley effect never really affected me. But people aren't supposed to have that many eyes.

I'm very proud that I backed up my husband Now even though his body is gone, he's in the Cloud forever and will always be with me.

When I encountered the sirens in the seas, I implored them to teach me how to sing their enchanting songs many sailors spoke of. The sirens sighed with apparent relief, and confided to me that most sailors came to them WITHOUT singing a song.

'This is an emergen-' I felt a strong tug backwards, the blues and twos turned orange, yellow, green, violet... ...Civilisation disappeared, the Earth vanished, in minutes galaxies formed, melded and faded away, and all I saw in the end was the blackness at the end of the universe.

I woke up to my baby son’s crying from his crib in the corner of the room. My heart froze in fear as I saw my stillborn child crawling out of the crib with maggots in his eyes.

I woke up cold, confused and surrounded by people in lab coats. Wondering how the hell I got there I heard one of them say, “it’s no good, it didn’t work out this time either, implant a new set of memories and ship it off to a new family.”

“I bet another joker submitted his dog’s saliva”, said the 23&Me technician when the anomaly alarm chirped. As he read the screen and counted the DNA strands he whispered, “What the hell is that?”

"The love line indicates a true soul mate is out there, searching and waiting for the One to lift them from darkness and give their life meaning," said the palm reader. "Alright, well, I'm not sure how much that will help, but we appreciate you taking the time come in anyway," replied the detective as he returned the severed hand to the evidence bag.

A poster on the hallway read: "Remember to be yourself, because everybody else is already taken!" The skinwalker just smirked and entered another full classroom.

They said we should build the shelter with doors opening *inwards* so they can be still opened even if they're covered with debris on the outside. After hearing it over a hundred times I finally snapped, but at least the rations will last a little longer, now.

Young people today are so entitled, they have no sense of community, the older man lamented. Back in my day, people accepted the role of sacrifice with dignity, his friend agreed, raising his voice to be heard over the young woman's screams.

We walked through the door, taking our seats in a long line of families: daddy, mommy, my big sister, then me. My mother looked over as another young child entered, who sat down next to me, now waiting their turn, before turning to me, "Do you want to make one last friend?"

Growing up, I knew that I was never my mother's favourite child But everyone else around me told me how lucky I was to be an only child.
