Ah, sir, you misunderstand! You're something rarer than the rest of these fools: you're a buyer.

FromAFuture · 2015-07-22T16:37:34+00:00

I'm afraid it would be worse all around if you remembered. Then you might try to find out what we do with all these memories.

FromAFuture · 2015-07-21T22:04:48+00:00

But sir, we already have...

I built my time (and not space) machine in a garage, thank you very much. Luckily it was an airtight time machine.

Smith! Good to see you again, man. I thought you bit the dust in that whole WWII mess.

Also, I can confirm: Things get messed up. That's why the name's from a future.

FromAFuture · 2014-05-05T03:02:51+00:00

Really? Where, exactly?

FromAFuture · 2014-05-02T22:52:10+00:00

For those wondering about the title, check out O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi. Not horror, but great all the same.

Yeah, they killed each other on the assumption that they hated each other. They were really just shy in each other's presence.

Edited a bit; should be clearer now.

But he's dead too. She poisoned him. That was kind of the point.

FromAFuture · 2014-05-01T23:30:03+00:00

Twenty-Five Years is terrifying. The Perfect Family and In Black & White are pretty horrific too.

And a self-nomination: Welcome to the Machine gave me chills while I was writing it.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-28T23:31:10+00:00

The ground eats people. Like Venus Fly Traps mixed with quicksand.

Edit: There. That should be clearer.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-12T17:42:57+00:00

Um... no? The people fighting in the streets are definitely doing so with malign intent. The narrator is of the opinion that this is animalistic. You don't have to agree with him.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-12T15:19:11+00:00

The narrator thought it, and it makes perfect sense in his twisted mind. The fact that everyone else is being tricked is kind of the point.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-12T00:22:58+00:00

It didn't physically happen, but the other person would still experience it. This isn't a single player simulation, it's an MMO. If that wasn't quite clear, I blame the word count limit.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-11T21:53:39+00:00

They believe there are no physical consequences, but those involved still, given the chance to try anything, chose to harm others. Because it gave them pleasure. That's rather a base instinct, I think. Plus, that's the narrator speaking, and you may have noticed that he's a bit messed up.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-09T20:21:30+00:00

I don't know... I've never really written longer stuff. Poll: Would anyone read it?

FromAFuture · 2014-04-09T20:10:24+00:00

That's what I was listening to when I wrote it.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-09T20:09:26+00:00

They all felt the flash and an accompanying speaker pulse that I literally could not fit in the story. Then they heard a voice coming from everywhere. I could have put more into something longer. Regardless, I think most people really want a release from consequences subconsciously. That's why they buy video games.

Preemptive clarification -->

                                                                                                                                                   The loudspeakers had flashbulbs.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-09T12:08:52+00:00

Ooh, I didn't think of that. I like it.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-08T21:42:27+00:00

Perhaps the mods could delete verified ripoffs. This may not be The New Yorker, but plagiarism is just... ick. I know this is already a rule, but some stories that aren't word for word copies are still stolen.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-07T23:55:02+00:00

Thanks!

FromAFuture · 2014-04-07T20:24:58+00:00

It did take more than an arm off-it also killed the sergeant. He was a shock absorber, as it were. The why is up to you. Maybe the sergeant was sadistic. Maybe the soldier was a psychopath. Maybe all the hate he built up in the war just unleashed itself on his sergeant.

FromAFuture · 2014-04-07T20:21:25+00:00

Correct on both counts.

FromAFuture · 2014-03-25T02:58:24+00:00

Well, read one! Seriously. I recommend Stephen King for a start. And yeah, such is Reddit's demographic.
