  from Zoe Michaels," read a reaper to another his father. 
  "Aww! That sounds cute," said the king of the Reapers hearing it. 
  "No one calls me a fairy! Even a misinformed child," said the son known as Lance or the Necromancer shortly. 
  "Do you prefer serial killer!" asked his father. 
  Lance scoffed. "I prefer avenging angel," said Lance coldly he was fate's hitman he killed the worst of the worst for him and the police called him a serial killer. 
  "You would," said the reaper king, "How was the child when you took her?" 
  "She was a pain she insisted I was the Death Fairy because the tooth fairy took teeth so the reapers were death fairies because they took the dead. I keep telling her I wasn't the death fairy I was a grim reaper. she wouldn't listen. I told her she wasn't going to heaven. She cried. I told her she was going Elysian she cried more. I asked her why she cried.

  Top 10 Short Stories The -...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  Kipling in these more modern times is increasingly seen as an apologist for the bad ways of evil empires.  It’s a simplistic analysis and avoids much of his literary talent that is entertaining, scary and down right brilliant story telling whatever the background it is based on or comes from.

  Edgar Allen Poe: THE CASK OF...

  The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative follows a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. As in "The Black Cat" and "The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective.

  "Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken. 
  "I believe in aliens!" said Blake. 
  "You do?" said the Chicken his eyes widening. 
  "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake. 
  "I am not a Flat Earther or a hollow Earther. Nobody lives in the center of any planet," said Blake. 
  "Blake the Star People are real!" said the Masked Chicken. 
  "No they aren't real still!" said Blake. 
  The Chicken pushed a News Paper at Blake. 
  "Aliens from the center of the Earth take the Human race to court for ownership of the planet!" Blake read. 
  "Did you get this made as a joke?" asked Blake. 
  "I never thought I'd say this to anyone!" Blake said, "Take me to your leader?" 
  Who are you human I don't bother my leader with the rabble," said the star person.. 
  "Because I am Alexandrite Argent the Chief Justice of Sapphirus Argent," said Blake. 
  "Whose that?" asked the star person. 
  "He's my Grandfather he's only the Emperor of the Universe!" 
  said Blake getting impatient with the star person. 
  "I will judge your case," said Blake. 
  "You are biased," said the supreme leader. 
  "Yes but without me, your case cannot be legally judged I am the only one who can judge Planetary cases," said Blake. 
  "What's wrong with him," said the supreme leader seeing Lance's Emo son. 
  "Oh him he's just the Prince of Darkness," said Lance off-handedly. 
  "Hey!" snapped the offended Emo. 
  "Why are everyone happy these strangers want to evict humans from the Earth?" Jnr asked. 
  "It's our planet!" said the Supreme Leader.
