Sean's Stories
Cheesy Weezy
Reid walked through the doors of the official Coachella Tragedy Memorial. As she snuck into the restaurant, getting past the workers, she felt no remorse. Instead, she programmed the speakers to play the music that, 7 years ago, hijacked some people’s heads. This piece? It made

We Love ChatGPT (except for the Plot Holes)
Eli Wilkins, this is our man. He's said to clean at the hospital on Mondays and Thursdays from 8pm to 11pm. He was described by his neighbor as " curved" and "alive". We suspect he may have wandered out of the security perimeter. He was last seen November 24 just before midnight
Time is of the essence
My grandparents hate me on both sides of my family I don’t know why. I’m going to find out though. If only I could time travel into the past and find out why. My parents split up for whatever reason and now I want to know more. I’m in college as well and the name is Liliana.

This is fine.
Yesterday I was falling from the sky. Problem was, I forgot how I had gotten there. I looked around for a plane or skydivers…there was empty sky. I felt for a parachute and only felt the back of my shirt. I started to scream and suddenly heard people start to giggle around me.

Puddy’s Ghost
Elaine woke up with the strange sensation of being watched. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she scanned the room in the hopes that it was nothing but that, a sensation. But there, in the corner by the window, she could see a shape she didn't recognize.

Cafe Conundrum
15-year-old Gracie Thatcher was drinking coffee at Mom 'n 'Em Cafe. As she sipped smoothly and carefully to avoid burning her mouth, she heard the bell ring and footsteps came over to her spot.

The Pixie's Cage
She seemed tired and her gaze was always lost on the horizon, but she was alert. Her long dark hair fell to her narrow waist to rest in a small cage where she reclined. Inside was me.

Dental Health
Felicia drew a deep breath calm her nerves before reaching for the doorknob
Layer Cake of lamentations
It was a stark reminder that things do not always go according to plan.
Blinky’s Lament
I'm the “smart” guy, at least that's what everyone calls me. I have many other skills and hobbies but I get the “smart” label just because I get straight A’s, it's not hard for me you know? I don’t even pay much attention, I just catch up with the subject at the last chance.

Eat your cake and make a break for it too
"Stop," ordered Marcos, sternly. He gazed at the cake in Eden's hand. "You can't have your cake and eat it too." "Marcos, leave me alone. This is my cake! This is my birthday," she explained. "I can eat as much as I want." Marcos was furious as she started to gobble his piece.
Burning down the house
Cyrus Valentine had always been in charge of the household. Her father was in and out of jail and her mother often spent her time flirting with the gas station attendees on main, or shooting up anything she could find.
A grueling contest
"So." Archer put his hand on Delilah's swollen stomach. "What should we name her?"

Featherweight flyaway
Liam and Corinna were a very happy couple. They had been together for over six years, married last year, just after their son had been born. It seemed to become a nice and quiet day. They did not know yet that their lives would change dramatically.

Waiting for the Blue Beanie
Sarah tapped her fingers against the desk, keeping her eyes on the clock. 2 more minutes. "This is important," her teacher said, pointing at the algebra on the board. Sarah couldn't care less. All that mattered to her was what was going to happen in one minute and thirty seconds.
Deck the Halls with Booze and Ennui!
Today I woke up feeling extremely out of it, I drank too much the night before. This was the start of my first AND LAST hangover.

Holy Moly
In a hole, a very deep hole, the deepest hole, of the deepest holey holes, lived a hole, within that hole, lived a mole, in a hole that was deep, the mole, in the deep hole, the deepest hole, of the holey holes, named vole, never felt whole, all because of that time

A joke older than your momma
You all approach a park in which there are beautiful trees and children playing, it is a seemingly normal day… but not for you guys. You are all looking for the one person who summoned you here.

The Sketchy Thiccanfot Shuffle
We were in the sketchiest part of town. The doors opened and the scent of beer, stale pizza and tobacco permeated into our souls. The sign said music instrument swap, but this was by no means an adequate description. Two hookers, looking thicc and fot immediately hit on us. Weird

Oliver’s organ
Once upon a time in 2023, there was a cute and friendly young 30-year-old man named Oliver. He wears overalls every day as casual wear, seeing them as more than just "farmer's" or "worker's" clothes.

Halfway there
As she sat there desperately waiting for a sign, any sign of what to do, the realisation set in. There’s nothing to do, nothing for her. Too scared to live but too scared to die. She exists in a world that moves past her, every second she’s left behind. A living ghost.

There is no cake?
I had this sensation for a while. Since I left home this morning. I went to the groceries and kept realizing a nice but a little cold feeling. I am 88 years old now and I'm still in my right mind. But today...

Where the bees carried me
It was very hot so I opened the window. Seconds later a plague of bees came into my room. There were so many of them and they were so strong that they blocked the door and I couldn't escape. They were fast, slowly they turned my room into a beehive.
Space Vacuum!
As the sun set on the street, Deliah looked out her window and noticed a cyan light growing from the sun and over the darkening sky - growing brighter as the sun faded from view.
