《Cecil Bee's Flash Fiction》Blast
Advertisement
A bomb counts down under the living room but the people above are unaware.
Jim: “I’m telling you it isn’t possible.”
Sarah: “It is possible and has happened.”
Jim: “There is no way a guy can be struck by lightning and bitten by a cobra at the same time and live to tell about it. It simply is not possible.”
Ken: “Hmm…”
Sarah: “It is possible! My friend’s sister’s boyfriend told us.”
Jim: “And you believed him!”
Ken: “Does anyone hear that ticking.” Sarah makes a face.
Sarah: “Yes!”
Ken: “Really? Where do you think it’s coming from?”
Jim: “Then you are stupider than I thought you were.”
Sarah: “No! You’re stupider!”
Ken: “Where did you say you heard it?” He got up and started looking around the room.
Tick Tock Tick
Jim: “No, you’re stupider!” Ken checked behind the couch.
Pam: “Stop fighting!” She yelled from the kitchen. Ken checked under the bookshelves.
Sarah: “You’re the Stupidest!” Ken around the coffee table. Pam entered the room.
Pam: “If you two don’t knock it off, you’re both going to be grounded!” Ken looked around in the dining room but the ticking got quieter.
Sarah: “He started it!” Ken came back to the living room.
Tick Tock Tick
Jim: “Well you hadn’t said something so stupid I wouldn’t have commented.”
Tick Tock Tick
Ken stepped out through the front door: quieter.
Pam: “THAT’S IT!”
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
The blast knocks Ken back. The front of the house, gone. Debris showered the lawn along with 'other'. Ken’s mind was in a spin. He looked around but there was a foreign spin. What happened?

Necromancy is an old but simple practice. To be a necrotic spell master requires only three things. Magic, a limitless yet difficult power to master. Raise undead, one of the first and most basic spells any magic user will ever learn across their lifetimes. An open class slot. But this isn’t a story about an up and coming necromancer. No this is about the faithful minion that’s been summoned by their fledgling master. If you think being a Necromancer is hard, just imagine how hard it must be for a Lv1 Skeleton.
8 209The Inheritor
Alistair strolled through darkness shunning himself from light, he was plunged into the depths of hell by the greed of his own family. He crawled from those depths leaving trails of blood, craving for vengeance and toiling like a crazy wounded wolf. After years of struggle he stands at the peak, a peak no one could touch, a peak where he could disdain anyone. Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe. He’s determined to lead an entirely different life, a life in which he truly pursues happiness with lots of friends, lovers and a lovable family. Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

I made a mistake. Luckily, cats have nine lives.
8 190New World to Experience
YGGDRASIL was ending, and Apoc was hoping to see the game as it ends. And fortunately, he did. But he was transported into a world that is back in the past, yet seemingly not the same world, and coincidentally in an island that was cut off from the mainlands. What should he do? Find a way back home? Or stay and change the flow of time? A little note here; this story is a bit rushed. Considered that it is old and I have little time to revise the story whole. But unless you dont mind it and decided to just read it for the sakes out of it, then be my guest... Not in a offending way obviously.
