Subtergenesis by J. T. Glover @ Everyday Weirdness

Jul. 4th, 2009 | 01:00 am

Furnaces coaled and driveshafts tightened, the factory shudders to life. Grimy men dance like bees, pulling levers, funneling aqua cordis, chanting breath-ballads around the giant smoking vat. Even from Creech’s cage near the roof of the cavern, t...

The Long Contract by Aaron A. Polson @ Everyday Weirdness

Jul. 3rd, 2009 | 01:00 am

Two men walk the hallway from the entrance of the museum, their feet tapping out a broken rhythm against the marble floors. The long, pale man wears a suit too dark for his complexion. The other man clutches a hat in both hands; his fingers work the bri...

Creation by Mari Ness @ Everyday Weirdness

Jul. 2nd, 2009 | 01:00 am

God opened His left eye, His eye of silver, and saw that it was Good. Below and above and beside him the universe spun, in brilliant clockwork, deliberate, delicate, perfection: each glittering gear perfectly fitted to the next. Upon the clockwork rings...

Jul. 1st, 2009 | 01:00 am

There is no redemption in this world.
Joseph Anderson stood statue-like in his hallway with the morning post collecting dust in his hands. The bills, the catalogues, the junk mail faded away. All he saw was the white envelope with its ...

Marionette by Rebecca L McNulty @ Everyday Weirdness

Jun. 30th, 2009 | 01:00 am

Strings snap when they’re tangled, like a finger stuck inside a car door. My fingers are bent and gnarled: I’ve snapped too many strings since I was a boy. The puppets each have perfect fingers, straight and strong. They don’t crack, e...

DONUT WALUK by S. L. Bickley @ Everyday Weirdness

Jun. 29th, 2009 | 01:00 am

I can tell I am dreaming—not because the sign on the other side of the street says DONUT WALUK, but because I know the one over my head says DONT WALK, and I haven’t even looked at it.
I’ve been here waking. I’ve even b...

Tea With Nanahuatl by Shira Lipkin @ Everyday Weirdness

Jun. 27th, 2009 | 01:00 am

The sun god finds himself unexpectedly in a house. A living room, to be precise. He is sitting in a tall brocade chair, and there is a delicate china cup on the table beside him. He rises, cursing in a language long dead.
“Oh, please stop ...

Buzz Aldrin and Snoop Dogg reach for the stars with Rocket Experience

It was probably one small step for Snoop Dogg but it was one giant leap for Buzz Aldrin when he teamed up with the hip-hop artist to record a rap single.

A Modern Moses by Robert E Burnett @ Everyday Weirdness

Jun. 24th, 2009 | 01:00 am

On a snowy Monday at 4:32AM, a burning bush appeared in my front yard. I’m certain of the time. I had just looked at my watch, trying to decide if I should stay up and worry about unpaid bills, or go to bed and worry about unpaid bills.

Daddy’s Girl by Mark Leslie @ Everyday Weirdness

Jun. 21st, 2009 | 01:00 am

She has her Daddy’s eyes
In a jar up in her room
It took a while to dig them up
Because she’d used a spoon

She has her Daddy’s hair
And with it his whole scalp
She hacked it off with a dull ...
