There are things I’ve trained myself to do. Small things.

I actually finished this a couple days ago for myself, but I thought, since it fits the prompt, I might as well share it. Feel free to downvote me if it doesn't belong though, I don't know if I'm allowed to share already-written stories. It's a bit long, so I've posted the link to my blog for it.

"Where are those pliers, dammit?" "By your left elbow." "Where?" "Over there." "Hmpf." This was the usual exchange they had, and quite a long one at that. Mostly, they just kept silent and kept out of each other's way. It was the winter, that's what it was - the thick snow that covered the house and the forest, th...

We were human in many forms. We had bodies, we had minds, we had emotions. But they died. They left shells behind, tired after a long journey through their lives. They created us in their image, yearning for companionship, for performing tasks their frail bodies could not withstand. We joined them in society, welcomed...

I could smell Robert dying when I pulled up in the driveway in the evening. By the time I reached the front door, I could hear it too. A low gurgle, and a bump. "Robert?"

I'm not very good at writing, but I'd love to see where this goes: perhaps the large and useless object is Earth or the universe as a whole, and it is written from the perspective of God? Would anyone be willing to give that a shot?

It was an impulse purchase, I admit. I don't really know what convinced me to buy the small glowing shrink-wrapped ball labelled "Chicken Soul" as I purchased my groceries. Perhaps boredom, perhaps some perverse curiosity. I asked the cashier what it was as I checked out. She looked at it and said, "It's a chicken so...
Well that's new. I picked up the jar of goopy liquid and examined it. Little white bulbs were immersed in the brine, swimming around as if the container had been vigorously shaken. The label said just said *Chicken Soul for the Soup* with a small sticker near the bottom that claimed it was *great* with the aforementio...

Shit. Shit shit shit shit *shit*. Fuck. At least they put the fucker down before he could get another chunk outta me. Too bad they didn't have the decency to let me go with him. They're taking me back to the safe-house, presumably to let me live out the short remainder of my life in relative comfort. I'm in the s...

When she was nine, she’d gotten bitten by a doberman pinscher pitbull mix. On Labor day. Someone had let their dog off its leash, and she’d been playing tag. She hadn’t seen it until it was attached to her arm. Her brain went to another place, stupider and more focused than her usual scattered thoughts. “It won’t let g...

God Damnit. Fucking Damnit. I looked at the wound and saw the blood soaking into the fabric around it. Everyone in our small group looked at me with a look of despair. There were murmurs of "It will be ok." and " We will figure something out." but I knew it was too late. I handed my rifle off to my good buddy, and tu...

The sharp pain in my shoulder releases, and the mob of rotten flesh surrounding me seems to lose interest. For the first few moments afterwards, I'm not entirely sure what has changed. Did something scare them away? Did they find a new victim? It's only as I grasp my shoulder that the liquid truth begins to drip onto ...

Oh God oh shit oh NO!! Fuck, it got me! You fucker! No no this can't be happening. So much blood. I need to find something to bandage it fast. Shit, there's nothing here. I'll just cut a piece of my shirt and wrap it. Dammit, it won't stop bleeding. So much blood. So much blood. It hurts like a motherfucker. I'm de...

"Well man, its been a good run, " I said. My now mutilated hand can no longer support the weight of my machete. It falls, clanking on the now desolate highway. John turns away from me and walks to the back of our heavily armored Jeep, kicking his way through a pile headless corpses. "Heh. This bad boy has gotten us ...
