1000 anthology collection fiction future futuristic science scifi scikick short story the1000 thousand

This is a selection of short stories based on the writing prompt "1000", courtesy of the writing contest held by SciKick. 

Do you like short (like, literally) stories instead of a full-scale novel? You're at the right place! All the short stories in here are limited to 1000 words, so they'll definitely keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire journey. 

Featured stories include contest winners from SciKick's 1000 contest, as well as entries written by the SciKick members themselves.

04Lonewolf's Short Stories by 04Lonewolf

[WARNING: Please do not copy any of these without permission! If you see someone else using these ideas, please let me know, because these are all my own work.] This book is basically just a compilation of all my short stories that I've written over the last couple of years. Story titles with '🏷️' are inspired by a short story prompt or other literary work, whilst ones with '📙' are stories purely from my own imagination. Ones with '🧩' may be an excerpt from a larger story I'm working on, but can still be considered as a short story by itself. Also just letting you know in advance that I wrote quite a few of these when I was younger and they are really bad 😅. Well, even my recent ones aren't the best. All I'm saying is... these are my very rough drafts, so read at your own risk, and please be positive or feel free to (politely) point out any mistakes so I can make them better :) Enjoy!

Mayhem 2019 (JackSepticEye Prompts) by ninjago4lyfe

A list of prompts by @septic-bella on tumblr for May! It's in honor of the chaos in May 2018 on JackSepticEye's Youtube channel, but it's technically free-for-all in any art form (I might draw some stuff and post the pictures as chapters instead of writing prompts). I started late, but I can catch up quick probably, so let's do this! Here's the prompt list, for my sanity and for any of you to follow along! Day 1: Into the madness Day 2: Lost Day 3: The calm Day 4: The Doctor Is Back Day 5: Stories untold Day 6: He's Listening Day 7: Gone silent Day: 8: Connected Day 9: Try To Fall Asleep Day 10: The end is near Day 11: Tie Day 12: Winning Day 13: Alcohol Day 14: Dark Silence Day 15: Abandoned and exiled Day 16: A way out Day 17: Father Day 18: Childhood Day 19: Journal Day 20: Infected Day 21: Trash Day 22: Cold Day 23: Champion Day 24: Clues Day 25: Terror Day 26: Actor Day 27: Going crazy Day 28: Ruined life Day 29: Ending Day 30: Left alone Day 31: Mayhem Edit: It has been finished!!! I accidentally connected stories that shouldn't have been and took longer than the allotted time frame to do it. I also didn't draw anything, it's all written. TRIGGER WARINGS IN THE TAGS!

Lords & Ladies of the M'Verse: An Ooorah Anthology by LayethTheSmackDown

Each of the 100 stories featured herein will be set within a Universe of the writer's creation, all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse. Writers have free reign to tell the story they wanna' tell and providing it's science fictional in nature, no more than 5,000 words in length, then it's all good! There are, however, five 'rules' to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... After all, this is Lords & Ladies of the M'Verse!

The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down Anthology by katiegoesmew

Here I go with another writing experiment. I joined The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down by LayethTheSmackDown, which required me to write Speculative Fiction flash fiction, short stories, drabbles, and poetry inspired by prompts. If you're as unfamiliar with Speculative Fiction as I was when I started this, check out @ReshapeIt for more info. So, the writing experiment: - I'd never written Speculative Fiction. - Or flash fiction. - Or drabbles. - Or from an image prompt. Somehow, I survived the eliminations until round four, part one. I've decided to keep following the contest on my own, so as long as it's running, I'll keep adding chapters within the deadline based on the prompts provided. But I won't stop when the contest ends. This has been such a fun project, so I've decided to continue entering prompt-based contests and keep the story going as long as I can. :) Note: Word count varies with the application used. All the word counts here come from Google Docs. Content/trigger warnings: anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, murder, PTSD, sexual references, strangulation, violence. ***** To all the judges of Short Story categories in awards I entered: Sorry. This 'sploded and won't stop growing. If you feel the need to disqualify because it's not short anymore, I don't blame you, and I don't mind. Or if you just want to pick a couple of chapters and read them, that's fine, too. I don't care. 😅

30 Day Writing Prompts by thepeacethepanic

30 short stories inspired by 30 writing prompts. If you use any (or all) of these, please dedicate me, PM me, or tag me in the chapter so I can read it! I'd love to. (Guys it literally took me like 5 hours to realise I misspelt Prompts in the Title fuck)

Empowered by MelRose518

As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.

FLASHed by PeerGlen

Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds ... this is just a few of my flash stories. Each write around 1000 words from a range of science fiction, fantasy and horror genres (22 SF, 2 F, 1 H).

TK Special #7 - Return to the M'Verse: An Ooorah Anthology by Ooorah

Each of the stories featured herein is set within a Universe of the writer's creation, while all being a part of a larger, shared Multiverse. At the Ooorah Mothership, we call this the M'Verse. Writers have free rein to tell the story they want to tell, providing it's sci-fi in nature and no more than 5000 words in length... then it's all good! There are, however, five "rules" to which all created Universes within the shared Multiverse must adhere. Think of them as non-mandatory prompts that weave an invisible, unbreakable web throughout this anthology. But that shouldn't prove too difficult for the writers partaking... It's time to RETURN TO THE M'VERSE.
