The president is at his desk, talking on screen phone to someone I can’t see. He faces front and takes a deep breath. Love exists between beings of a higher plane, he thinks, not with those pathetic little creatures to whom he will be a god. Recent investigation has determined he suffers from a rare disease that is exacerbated by—’, The president gives me a sad smile. Shining within it is the blue and green planet to which he is going to be banished. He looks up again, sees me properly, and ends his call. My Ford Ferrari Z series 14 breaks the sound barrier as I come in over the Rush zones. He’s given everything he has to the planet he made his home, and in return they give him nothing but scorn and hatred. The fact is, I came here and so they survive, though they thank me rarely and only in the grudging way to which I’ve become accustomed. I’m sorry, Ultra, but you aren’t going anywhere.’. He remembers, even now, so many years later, laughing. Thanks for dropping by. First, it’s still a niche genre. ‘Don’t be so uptight.
They’ve taken everything.
Eventually, he clears his throat. Fanatical tangueros are getting their kicks in South Korea, Japan and India. You must never come to care for one of them more than the rest, or your mission will be compromised.
The secret service men outside his door normally know not to stop me, and they can see from my face I’m not in the best mood, but still they have to try it on.
Their on-board micro-sensors track my passage and get out of the way, but I’m tweaking all the way in, dodging their wake to save those precious few kph. He’s stood now on the roof of a sky scraper.
Why no one thought to mention that little detail was beyond me, though they probably didn’t even think about it. He can still hear his father’s voice. He blinks and comes back to the church. Cos, you know, what’s a book without zombies? She’s stunning, scintillating, wondrous. And sales have been modest, reaching into the hundreds since its March debut, according to its Sydney-based publisher Spineless Wonders.
So maybe humans were supposed to be a cautionary tale for those that followed.
I’ve given you two centuries and the continued existence of your race. It hums to me as I power up and the shard of ice making its way into my heart stops its progress for a minute.
I grin and crank up the power, eating up the remaining miles to Central. Dragons – A Paranormal Romance Short Story, North – A Post Apocalyptic Comedy Short Story, Sir Pickle and the Meanie-Bad Chocolate Stealing Knight, The Devil Came To Earth – A Paranormal Short Story, Sir Pickle and the Aeroplane Ghosts – A poem, Sick – A Post-Apocalyptic Horror Short Story, The Trouble with Conventions – A Zombie Short Story, Sunlight and Shadows – A fantasy short story about justice, 7 Days – A Tale of Magic and Debt Collection, A Fairytale Ending… A Superhero Fairytale.
Also putting the finishing touches to my first ‘audio enhanced’ novel, a mixture of spoken word and music, titled the Rupture and featuring zombies in space. I’m not the only one out this early in the morning, but I’m by far the fastest.
Central towers before me, the Dome bearing its multi-coloured flag shining in the sun. I spent an hour on the phone to the President explaining all the ways I was sorry and another half hour agreeing to a bunch of crappy fundraisers I could have done without. Now, go back to your home, clear up the wreckage, and get some sleep.’ He claps his hands together like he’s had a brain wave.
Read hot and popular stories about superhero on Wattpad.
He sits back down and shuffles some paper. But I discard it as irrelevant. One of Lenton’s pieces, “King of the World,” was accepted into this year’s Best of Australian Comedy Writing anthology. He can see every person on it and the thought of falling in love with any one of them as is ludicrous as anything could be. I didn’t have anything to do with that particular piece of tampering. ‘We know where you live.’ Lived, I correct myself. ‘On the plus side, now our little secret’s out, you won’t have to put up with anymore of those pesky house trashing incidents.’. She caught my eye across the room, then sashayed and elbowed her way to the front of the queue. What do they learn at Superhero High? Now go, and save the world.’. So when I got home this morning, I wasn’t happy. If you’re not sure what this means, picture your story minus the superhuman element. In fact, I have nothing left. Because, as Shakespeare put it, “Brevity is the soul of wit.”. He would face a million Thrak beasts rather than be standing here.
Fantasy and Horror Author, Michael Cairns. And. The collection is primed for an October release in the United States and Europe. Perhaps they did.
And it’s not only one or two of them.
Modern mechanics don’t always grok oldfangled engines. I am an asset. And these stories are really short. ‘I’m having as much fun as I can knowing 73 people have died due to gun crime in the time I’ve been here a—’, ‘You couldn’t have stopped them all. To be used as one might a weapon system or a piece of engineering.
Aussie writer Patrick Lenton is making waves with his debut short story collection, A Man Made Entirely of Bats, a sassy take on Hollywood’s superduper squads. ‘Here for hundreds of years and you still don’t get it. Ultra Man has had enough.
Not the woman waiting for him, but the goddess, the one from whom he can never escape, no matter how hard he tries. His mind takes him away again, and he’s standing on a mountain top.
It’s why I came here. The American government were the first to use that term, but it’s been taken up by plenty of others since. who better than a band of misfit superheroes to take up that challenge. Your email address will not be published. ‘I will go, but I will return.
He squeezes his eyes closed then glances over his shoulder. Why?’.
Ever. To better lure the smartphone set, some fiction writers have decided to strip down and power up their prose. The President lets out a long sigh, stands, and wanders across to a filing cabinet against the far wall. The writing is drawing comparisons to author and funnyman, “Like Sedaris, Lenton is hugely entertaining,” writes Veronica Sullivan, in a review for Australia’s, has adopted the concise genre, which is “highly respected” and “growing in commercial appeal,” says Pittsburgh’s Becky Tuch, editor of, , a U.S. journal review site. They’ve taken everything. But you wouldn’t get far enough.’, I turn back to him, snarling.
It’s time to leave…. But getting the word out about A Man Made Entirely of Bats comes with challenges.
She’s nearly here. He thought that, at this moment, the memories and the doubts would fade, but they’re just as loud as ever. You will keep them safe against everything this wide and terrible galaxy can throw at them.’. I shove the door open and march into the Oval office. I’m empty.
But without my technological knowhow and the information I brought with me, demonstrating without a doubt the things they still argued about, they would be long dead.
‘I’m leaving.’ I turn to the door and his shouts turn into a wry chuckle. Although the text is brief, the plot lines and characters shine through — like in the slapstick antics of Captain Charisma, whose powers of persuasion only work when drunk, and the Insomni-Yak, a furry, horned psychologist who counsels a sleep-deprived narrator. I’m an asset. Then he lifts her veil and every memory and every doubt is swept away as he stares into her eyes. Still to come in 2020, The Rupture, an ‘audio-enhanced’ book/album/manbird thing, a collection of the darkest, most twisted fiction ever to escape Mike’s mind, the next book in the City Electric series and a whole host of other goodies coming your way. Let alone the impact your leaving would have on society. She’s coming to him. A few years ago, I read a story from an anthology that ended up haunting me. Your email address will not be published. They haven’t got my car yet.
Required fields are marked *.
I didn’t have much, but now I have nothing. Go and never return.’, His arch enemy smiled and shook his head. Because the day you do, I’ll be back.’. ‘Your time here is done. It’s not the response I expected. But I’ve not had the best weekend.
Although the text is brief, the plot lines and characters shine through — like in the slapstick antics of Captain Charisma, whose powers of persuasion only work when drunk, and the Insomni-Yak, a furry, horned psychologist who counsels a sleep-deprived narrator. He watches her go and tries to figure out what the pain in his gut means.
It was a land full of superheroes.
It’s time to leave… I’m empty.
Neither size nor sector can protect publicly held firms from the Grim Reaper. She laughs, though there’s no humour in the sound. More Americans are getting smoky and steamy — at the same time — in the bedroom.
The 30-year-old author believes microfiction is emerging as a valid literary form that’s “still being categorized.” He may have a point: Spain’s Museum of Words began a now-annual $20,000 microfiction contest in 2010, and at least one anthology has adopted the concise genre, which is “highly respected” and “growing in commercial appeal,” says Pittsburgh’s Becky Tuch, editor of The Review Review, a U.S. journal review site. He blinks and looks back at her.
It wasn’t a land a little bit full of superheroes where you could walk for three hours and never see one, it was a land where if you walked for three hours, you’d be more likely to see 1,000 superheroes than zero. This zipperless, high-tech suitcase tracks itself. Some superheroes need to go to school to learn special skills. So Sunday morning began with me scraping green shit off my costume, only to get a call from the President demanding my presence at a Gala dinner.
