600	I was a rookie detective when my first murder case came up. It was brutal the man had his hands cut off with only the message of he needed a hand so i gave him 2. No one understood the message that was until we found the next body. The next victim was a 32 year old man that lost both of his arms in a shark attack with...
601	It took twenty years. Twenty years and I was ahead of schedule. Of course, no one wanted to fund a monster breeding company. We were uninsurable. Even when we had the funding, there were other problems. Finding enough to feed the damn things was hard enough without the activists and the politicians and the people who ...
602	"Forgive me Father, for I must sin." "...tell me why you think this, my son. What sin do you intend to commit?" "Listen to me for a moment Father and I will tell you a story. I know something that most do not. Hell is here on Earth. Literally. When a sinner dies they are sent here to repeatedly live and die. Live and...
603	I looked at the picture. In it, I saw a ten year old boy blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, surrounded by smiling family and friends. My heart grew heavy with a sense of something I had long since suspected, but now I knew. My happiest years had already passed. Everything from then on had just been a del...
604	Well ain't this a pleasant day? I get to die. Hip Hip hooray. If you asked me when I was in college where I'd be twenty in years, I wouldn't have said playing fucking Horatio at the Bridge. But nooo. I had to draw the short straw. Just my luck. My CO's speech hadn't helped. "Valiant and noble sacrifice" my ass. Why isn...
605	~ Marriage. Day 5840. 10pm ~ Angie and Jacob lay in bed, both looking miserable. Angie looks at Jacob. Jacob dodges her gaze and looks away at the lamp. He moves his hand onto hers and she snatches it away. "Did you know that I hate you?" Angie thought aloud, nearly whispering. Jacob mouthed the words silently ba...
606	"Hello Nathan, we need to have a little chat." The disembodied voice spoke as if right in front of Nathan's face. Nathan had an idea what was going on, he figured he wouldn't be caught, I mean how could he? Who would ever know right? "Play stupid." he thought to himself. They can't prove anything. "W-where am I? who...
607	My heart thumped as the smoke cleared. I didn't expect to see anything still standing there after my attack, but slowly a silhouette came into view. And then, once the smoke completely dissipated, the man himself was still standing right where I had slammed him into the earth. I couldn't resist the smile that overtook ...
608	My hammer went up in an upwards arc, tearing through the arachnid's skull. The body, still holding the momentum of its leap, crashed into me, knocking me to the ground. Luckily, my new friends had brought me enough time to push the corpse away. I sat up and saw the perimeter; a few dozen or so spiders in a line in fro...
609	Day One "And class, I know this is a bit sudden, but we have a transfer student. I walked in from the door and turned to the sea of Japanese students, with a rainbow of hair colors and a plethora of hairdos ranging from girls with long blue hair down to their knees to guys with red hair spikier than a porcupine. On...
610	I stared at the savior. Beautiful, joyous, and filled with ass-kickery. She could use her 120 pound body to drop kick an orc. She was incredible to behold. I gasped, and then nodded my head in approval as she used her long tresses to strangle her foe. For a moment I thought she was a goner as a war hawk swooped direc...
611	"Have you ever actually seen the greys?" the contact asked. "We haven't actually seen you. Why should we trust you?" "Because we have been watching. The greys don't exist." "What do you mean they don't exist? Is someone pulling the wool over our eyes?" "More like seeing the world through your eyes." the contact s...
612	Being stuck on candy duty on Halloween can get repetitive real quick. All night, the door rings, "Trick or Treat!" is shouted in your face, and honestly... if you've seen one Elsa from Frozen costume, you've seen 'em all, but they just... keep... coming! Occasionally I'd say "Trick!" just to change things up and see w...
613	Dang, y'all. Some crazy shit ta share with you. See, I've always felt real ostracized in this community. Ain't easy bein' a country witch in a liberal-ass city. But you know how it goes-- ain't much for witchin' jobs in West Virginia, gotta head up to Boston-- hot spot for witchin' since the Salem boom of '92 (1692, ...
614	Grays eyes were heavy, he was just wanting to sleep, he had gone to bed at 2200 as he did every night after having a nice glass of zinfandel. Previous this was just a nice way to end the day, but this time it was to calm his nerves. Was moving from RomCom Town to Action City the right idea? He had enjoyed RomCom To...
615	The door wasn’t even locked, Molly thought as she wiggled the rusty knob of the rusty door set into the wall of the basement. Probably just went to a storage room or something uninteresting like that. Daring to push on further, she turned the knob more and quickly stopped as the loud scrape of metal on metal echoed aga...
616	As I had a million times before, as I walked out of the bathroom I briefly looked in the mirror. After all, I had to make sure I looked presentable for when my friends would arrive for dinner in an hour. However, something was off this time. All I could see against the reflective glass was the glistening white wall of ...
617	Gods damn it. Another adventuring party. You know what the worst thing about being a retired, high-level adventurer is? It's becoming an NPC. I don't even remember the last time I set foot in a dungeon. I want the quiet life, y'know? Raiding tombs, fighting evil - I'm done with all that. But I'm still the most pow...
618	The sound of a gavel banging on wood brings your senses back into focus. “Order! The Court of the Afterlife is now in session.” The voice booms around you as if being spoken from all directions at once. It sounds like a thousand different voices all combined with no defined gender. “All present state you name for the ...
619	"Yes, yes. Don't be shy! For I am a proprietor of wonders! I am a salesman of bliss made tangible!" Daddy Dodo stood on stage, his feathercap slightly obscuring his vision, but he didn't care. It looked too cool not to pass up. In one hand, he held a diamond-studded cane, the other a golden stage pistol that he had na...
620	Does this mean it’s my turn? I think Amelia was about my age when she stepped through. I should ask mom and dad though, right? But I haven’t seen them since I woke up. No note, no anything. They won't even answer their phones! My father, my- waking up at exactly 5:05am for the past 15 years, alert enough to hear a fly ...
621	Holy shit, it's actually happening. The hangar was abuzz as we ran from out quarters, helmets in hand. The base commander was stood up on a podium, watching as the cranes set the fleet of fighters into launch position. "This is it, the thing we've been training for, preparing for, the day humanity takes its millenn...
622	Scientists had been monitoring Yellowstone for decades. Longer. The geology of it was suspicious - The swelling, the fumes, the confusing readings they got from any test they attempted. There was something down there, they knew. Something viscous. A volcano, they decided. It only made sense. A growing lava bub...
623	"Every time I go to sleep and wake up, I switch between the two realities. Here, I'm a horrifying criminal, with hundreds of victims to my name. In the other, I'm the last survivor of a fucking zombie apocalypse. What the fuck should I do?" The bum stared at me, eyes glazed over and slightly fearful. He was beginning ...
624	I shifted uncomfortably as my podium started to rise, I tugged on my uncomfortable prison full-suit, loosening it from my buttocks. Only the engine and gears that were lifting the podium could be heard. The government has given me an out, they offered me a chance to play in a game, a game with the worlds most depraved...
625	###Greening The cities are empty, as if the people were swept away. Skyscrapers lean on the air, hollowed out. Husked houses streak the streets, running in rivulets down roads. Homes ripped open and abandoned. They are still furnished, stocked with rotting food. I can see the plushness of unused sofas, the harsh co...
626	On bad days, which were most days, Riley would take a long ride through the backwoods and forests on his motorbike. As he tore up the ground and revved the engine, he forgot about his parents, about school, about everything. Nothing mattered except dodging trees and obstacles, and finding the perfect spot to really let...
627	"Mornin', Miser." With a sigh and the mental equivalent of rolling eyes I never had, I reply, "A good morning to you as well, Aram." Ignoring the animal's snort of protest, Aram positions the family mule and straps the beast to my plow, offering it a handful of feed to encourage a steady start to the day. We start off,...
628	"The Broadswine Boys make good products for good people." I flicked off the merse and sat down. The walls of my apartment were green and bare. I'd spent a lot of money getting upgrades, but they were all in the merse. 4-dimensional paintings. Windows to alien worlds. The usual stuff. But I never liked the contrast. I ...
629	The fucking ants. My worst creation yet. I thought in the beginning "Hey I should make these fucking tiny bugs that make cool little tunnels and travel together to gather food." Boy was I wrong about this. Yes you heard that. Not even God is perfect. It all started in the garden of Eden. You all know how I created the ...
630	The worst thing isn't the forgetting. It's knowing that it's going to get worse. It started off with names. I'd never been great, but I started finding the names receding away from me as fast as I could move towards them. They were always just on the tip of my tongue. Henry has always been a sentence finisher, so ...
631	Edit: I really didn't think people would like my writing! I'll keep doing responses to other writing prompts and I'll add a PT. 2 to this response later today! Thank you so much for the awards!! It's another slow day. I haven't had a visitor for at least 4 full moons. My days are different from the delivery boy's. I...
632	Mrs. Shofenneller passed away quite suddenly. I was a bit upset as she was always a pleasant old lady. If you think of the grandmotherly type who would always bake cookies and insist you have one more "because you're looking thin," that would be her, except she made brownies. I had seen them taking the body out of her...
633	My hands shake, as I reach over for the piece. All my life, I have been waiting for this moment. This final piece, this grand piece. My motive for becoming the shrewd and wealthy businessman that I am was nothing but to obtain this piece, this final, important, end-all piece of the puzzle which I have been completing m...
634	“I meandered down Dixie street on that morning, the morning of my possession. You see, officer, my last memory of full agency occurred around 8:00 A.M. I had been kneeling to tie my shoe. And then, I was no longer me. Well, I was me, but I had no control. I recognized my legs as I began to run. I recognized my arms as ...
635	“Sir, we’ve got a problem. We’re running out of human souls.” “What? Don’t be preposterous, Jenkins, we created 7 billion.” “I know, sir, but the human population has grown to over six and a half billion already. We project that within the next 25 human ‘years’ they will exceed soul capacity.” “Check the figures ...
636	"Ugh." I awoke to a pounding headache and the sour taste of knockout herbs on my tongue. When I tried to sit up, I found I was bound to a pole, rather than lying in bed. "Darn it, Mom," I shouted, "I was coming to the party willingly this year, you didn't need to kidna-" A voice interrupted me, deep and low, reverb...
637	I hugged her from behind, she was beautiful. Her long, dark hair flowed behind her elegantly, smelling of a mix of lavender and something unique to herself. My amorous mind could not stray from keeping her in my thoughts. She was my life and, hopefully, I was hers. "I love you," I whispered in her ear. She looked bac...
638	"Hey Jones, the usual?" Lucille's bar was as empty as it got, but then again it was midday. And Jones was early. "Yeah. Can you put it on my tab, I can't pay today." "Sure thing." The barkeep Lucille, a woman in her mid-fifties with a bad wrist poured out a shot of fireball. She was used to her particular cliente...
639	Non-player. I never really understood what that term meant, who the "players" were. Just that we were meant to steer them in the right direction, put them on the correct path. We had scripts we were supposed to stick to. Loops of some grand design that determined where we stood, what we said. My post was in front of ...
640	"Ugh, the air sure stinks though." You were so careful, didn't touch anything, didn't do anything, just watched. Just watched the first powerplant being started on Pearl Street by none other than Thomas Alva Edison. The lights went on, (some immediately burst), and cheer ensued. This was the moment that changed much, ...
641	"Six months. Six months of baby steps. Slowly getting better every day. Crying a little less, smiling a little more. I haven't had a breakdown in two months. Since April. Your birthday was in April. And I had big plans for it this year. But it's okay. I'm going to be okay. Because I'm ready to say goodbye. Not t...
642	This story contains mature themes. ***** I was abused as a child. My parents were both alcoholics and drug addicts, drinking and injecting whatever they could get their hands on. The only reason I was ever conceived was so that they could receive payments from the Government to "care" for their child. As you could ex...
643	"...there were no survivors." I turned off the television, and blinked. The entire federal government. Every state, most territories, and even the DMV. The only people left were the interns, and a few random staffers who had gone home early. The fires had been simultaneous, they said. Terrorists, foreign military ac...
644	So, as it turns out, superhero-ing has very very few perks. Who knew, right? I mean, the guys in the comics always have such good, well-adjusted personal lives, right? Well, one of the perks it does have is seeing yourself kicking some jerk in the teeth on the news. And that's what I was doing when Cindy came by....
645	There was no precedent to this kind of face to face meeting. "Seriously, I need to know how to make your life a living hell. So, you need to tell me." A ghost, seat across from me, asking this preposterous question. "Or I'll... I'll... be sure that you eat nothing but the kinds of foods you hate until you exit this ...
646	The scene in front of Jessica was strange, but not unusual. Ever since she developed insomnia in her early twenties, she'd had the occasional bouts of sleep paralysis, with the added cherry on top of hypnopompic hallucinations. Sometimes, she'd be bound to the bed with cruel chains. Sometimes, someone - or something ...
647	I walked into the cafe as discreetly as possible, peering from under my golden brown sunglasses at a man situated at a table set on a small balcony. A little wiggle from under my silk headscarf briefly broke my plastered veneer, but I set back my facade of calm collection. He was so captivating I unconsciously turned ...
648	How could I have known things would turn out the way they did? Only the Gods themselves could and in my life I have found them to have humors that run towards malice. If not, then one truly evil God or Goddess is the reason for my curse. I first learned of my curse when I was still an apprentice blacksmith. I worked ...
649	“There’s something I have to tell you.” For a moment, I thought I was the one who had spoken. They were the exact words I had been about to say, after all, but it was my wife who had said them. I furrowed my brow and shook my head. “What? What do you mean?” Angie’s lips quivered for a moment, but she steeled hers...
650	"Here we go... Test number 1. No big", Wells said as he anxiously looked at the watch on his wrist. From the speakers: -click-"Hey, are you good?"-click- "Yeah. Or. No. But, we're here anyway, right? ...remind me again why this is safe?". He gave a small hop, cracked his neck from side to side, and rubbed his h...

I have bee come quite good at speak king through phone net ticks. Eve inn when I had to ...
652	"No witnesses," said Inquisitor Malvo, his back turned to Lucia as he peered out into the inky night that lay thick over Calveria. Lucia shifted, her knuckles whitening as her hands gripped each other behind her, "But the Lord Sees All." Inquisitor Malvo swirled around, his coal red eyes burning with intensity, "No w...
653	Knock knock "Professor Twiss? May I come in?" ... As usual, I was met with utter silence. But I wasn't going to have it this time - I swing the door open, instantly grabbing professor Twiss's attention. "Sorry to wake you up, but I thought this may be urgent-" The professor raised his eyebrows a bit, then slowly ope...
654	Baldness. Hemophilia. Colour-blindness. Men always did get the short end of the biological stick. Maybe that's why they overcompensated by taking up 91% of Congress and 97% of Wall Street. And fucked over women. In the cases of India and Steubenville, literally. You see... with enough money and power, you can get aw...
655	1/1/50 Dear Diary, Fifty years ago it was announced that, for some unknown reason, fictional characters had begun spilling out of a huge pothole near China, causing major blackouts across Asia. It was expected that the "Imagination Wave", as it was called, would hit this country by Tuesday. Of course, you might thi...
656	Part 1, Twains of Twouble &#x200B; I heard Lionidas take a drag from his cigarette from over the walkie-talkie. "Cherish and gang arriving in T minus 3 minutes, do you have eyes Watcher?" He asked in his gruff voice. I peered out from the top of the tower with my binoculars and saw the line of black SUV's ...
657	Olivia's parents first became concerned about her when she put her deceased goldfish from the county fair's fishing game in the paper tray, still stained with ketchup and mustard from her corndog, set it on fire with her uncle's lighter, and placed the makeshift pyre in the creek at the park. Her father held seven-year...
658	"You want what?" The shifting mass of wheels with eyes asked, thoroughly disbelieving despite the lack of anything to really show emotion. "Refuge. Safety. Anything, just keep me away from the humans." You're one of the craftier demons, you ran long before the others. In fact, before the demons were starting to be des...
659	"Emanuel, dear," Judith whispered, leaning into his body. "I'd love to..." He laughed. "I thought this was just a fling to you. Love to what?" They laid together, Emanuel clueless about the stiletto tracing along his thigh, until it was pointed right above his femoral artery and the cold tip pressed in. Then he perked...
660	In the car, with the radio loud and traffic surrounding her, the voices were muddy enough to ignore. Voices overlapped and the content became undecipherable. Even the constant voice would get lost in the mix. Sheila knew if she could get onto the highway, and out of the city, she could get some rest. She had been over...
661	The old man had watch the world fall. Families ripped apart by war, children left to starve with everyone else, and disease brought down many of the survivors. He watched it all, and now, he waited. The 3 horseman that had already taken their thrones, now awaiting their comrade. War was a young gentleman, constantly g...
662	For many years, I'd faced Death. His wicked, cruel smile, his dry, tasteless gray lips. I remember the first time meeting him at the age of 27. An unfortunate accident, to be sure, but it was inevitable. "Welcome, newcomer." My mind had faded into a new reality, a new realm. A thin, crooked figure sat at the table b...
663	"I haven't been on a date in a reeally long time," she said diffidently. "That's ok, plus time's relative," I assured her. "Yes it is. Though, if I had to choose, it's not one of my favorites..." I didn't understand what she had said, so I pretended that I just didn't hear. "Come again?" "Oh, nothing. This is fun!...
664	"What time is it?" "After two." "Not really. It's one fifty seven." "Yeah, but it's virtually after two, because the liquor store is seven minutes away." "But it's not really after two." "No, but for the purpose of buying more beer, which is the reason you asked, it's already after two. Because when we get to the...
665	Six months of genealogy research after my 21st birthday, I thought I had found the answer. I took my Spring Break to travel to a small cemetery outside of Boston. There in the graveyard is the headstone. "Lisa Jefferson. Born July 23, 1813 - Died June 14, 1828." She was only 15. I snapped a photo with my phone and th...
666	"He lost his head this time? How did he lose his head?" I examined the flesh where the neck had been separated. "Well, whoever did it was good. Clean cut, looks like it was done in one shot." A clean wound like this is easier to patch than you might thing. The trouble with decapitations is they're usually messy. It's n...
667	"you two good?" the tone in Samuel's voice was incredulous. Pushing into his right palm was a foal about thigh high (every bit of that height from the four sticks the foal had for legs). "I will end you vermin!" Squirming under his left foot was a dangerous looking reptilian creature. Its snout was closer to a dog's ...
668	Eve lay on her stomach, the grass tickling as it blew across her skin. She wetted a finger and raised it to the air, testing the wind's strength and direction as she considered her target. He was big, easily stronger than her but that didn’t matter, not now, not like this. She hated the stubborn pride in those features...
669	[Part 1 of 2] “No. you don’t understand. If I mix the tea and coffee together, I’ll get the benefits of both.” I tried to explain myself to the woman behind the counter, who only called me a freak, before handing me my order. It was hardly the first time a server had called me a freak, but it still stung. At the very ...
670	News of the demise of Marius's friend at the hands of a vampire spread throughout the town. "I was there to see it," said Marius. "Him and I were walking down the road on the outskirts of town when the vampire jumped out of nowhere. He had on him cloves of garlic. He always carried garlic with him whenever he traveled...
671	“This is truly the worst possible timeline,” I say to myself, as flat and deadpan as possible. It’s a pretty good delivery, and I congratulate myself for it, because no one else will. No one else is around to hear it. No one else will ever hear my memes again, because I’m a fucking ghost. It’s been about a week s...
672	Most people think Indiana Jones when they hear about an archaeologist researching a forgotten civilization tucked away in a remote mountain range, thousands of miles from civilization. Booby traps and ancient treasures and blah blah blah. In all honesty it's more like spending two dozen hours painstakingly removing a...
673	“Sky Master?" The Nurse asked out loud, reading a name off the sign in sheet. I stood up and walked to the reception's desk. "Here, fill this out,” The Nurse told me. I thanked her, took the clipboard she handed me, and sat down. The OR was nearly empty tonight. The holidays offer a sort of truce amongst the heroe...
674	A genie. Greg stared at the floating purple man. Most people would be surprised or shocked at the sudden appearance of a genie in their office's lunchroom, but Greg was different. He took whatever came to him. Like a leaf in the wind, his brother said. It was why his brother had wanted him to get insurance on the ...
675	Specks of dust glistened in the ray of light that shone through the grate above. “Do you really think that will stop me me?” The foul creature said. It’s fangs were bared as a hideous grin formed. It stepped off the side of the narrow walkway into the sewer waters below. Not a moment had passed from when his foot mad...
676	Interview log 37 "So, subject 756H-" "Jesus." "...what?" "I prefer the name Jesus." "Ok, Jesus, why were you interfering with native life on Trappist-5a?" "Enlightening, not interfering.

677	"Groundbreaking! It's absolutely groundbreaking!" Raina exclaimed. "History and science are about to meet." "Hold up," Sarah said. "Are you talking about the new patent describing how to encrypt computer data via crystal structures? That was released a week ago, it's old news." "No!" Raina replied. "You see, som...
678	The seat of the cold, aluminum stool stabbed at the soft flesh of Finn's bottom. He shifted on the surface to try to find a better position; there was none. He was in a dirty, old interrogation room at the Havenhold police station uncomfortablably close to the city's cavernous old jail. It was a tiny room, dimly ligh...
679	“Has it been ten years already?” the gentleman mused with an air of smugness. If there was one thing I had always hated about this man above all else, it was the way he spoke to those he deemed to be below him. He didn’t speak with words, but his subtle reactions and tone serving only to demean. Had it been Stephanie ...
680	"Impossible! I heard the screaming!" Gargath, Lord of Darkness, Master of the Seas and the Seven Skies, sighed and scratched his head. "...They're cheering. I don't have dungeons, that's an indoor stadium. The game's going on right now, if you want to watch." Mayn drew his sword and leveled it at the Demon Lord's che...
681	"Please put out that light, James." The elder president tucked into bed. Lately he'd been needing more and more sleep, but sleep was harder and harder to come by. It was 5am when Roosevelt's eyes flickered open to the tender sound of a creaking floor board. "I've been waiting you sick bastard." "So I've seen. Are you...
682	People stood around on street corners doing pure, uncut lines of me while the garish glow of neon washed out the relief in their faces, turning health sickly and sickness beautiful. I stepped out of the trap house like I always did, with a spring in my step and a newly reinvigorated cred-stick, only swaying briefly fro...
683	Sigh...fuckin' kids. It's 1:42 in the morning. Me and 3 other people still remain in the office, trapped in our cubicles. I smell cigarette smoke coming from Nat's area of the floor. Typical Nat. I hear the 5 teens (3 dudes, 2 girls. 2 of the guys are trying to hook up with the girls and the 3rd dude is trying to hoo...
684	"I mean, I'm grateful and all but -" "Son, your Daddy told me to make you a great frying pan. Said you was a-goon' adventurin'.

685	"Lilly?" I said, hoping I was getting her name right as I was introduced to her at the party just a little while ago, "What's wrong?" Her face was a mixture of anger and frustration. She grunted as she tried to step forward. When she heard my question she looked surprised, smiled, then said, "Just had a little too m...
686	The heavy-set waitress threw her head back and laughed. “Supermarket? We haven’t had one in years. Most folks get their milk and eggs and things from the Dollar Store down the road.” Embarrassed, I offered a weak laugh back. “Oh, sure. Got it” “You want the check, hon?” I nodded. As she turned away, I tried to get a...
687	The silence of the night is cut through by a shrill scream, quickly stifled as the young woman is pinned to the side of the alleyway by her neck. The masked thief scowls, pressing his gun squarely into her temple. "Are you deaf, ya' dumb broad? I told you to give me your wallet. Quietly!" The distressed woman doesn't...
688	My name is April, and I'm forty-eight years old. The last time I held this little charm, I'd saved the world. My friends and I had locked hands and promised to care and hold each other tight. Our love for each other had unlocked true strength. The calamity of horrors beyond the veil had been pushed back. The walls str...
689	An exerpt from Space Race; the real history of NASA, by Dr. Albert Chan, PhD. : The public never would have bought it.

690	"I, uh... I had fun tonight." Paul escorted her home after an early night. He could have just dropped her off, but he felt it was at least courteous. Especially since this wasn't going to go anywhere. It was a blind date and, although they had good times, neither of them really felt compatible with each other. "Me too...
691	Like clockwork, she comes over to my desk. It's every goddamn morning. She'll perch there outside my cubicle like some fucking spider, waiting for me to move, waiting for me to disturb the sticky web that she carries around her. Three minutes pass of her standing there, leering at my computer screen over my shoulder...
692	"Y'know," Bud said, spitting out more sunflower seeds, "I heard that the elves're close to working out the rebirth of magic." John's eyebrows shot up. "Y'figure? Can they even do that?" "Dunno. They was always more magical than any o' the rest o' us. If anybody has a shot, it's them." "From which kingdom was that ne...
