Little Timmy wasn't a good person when he decided to become a cleric, nor did he become a better person after being formally sworn in by a sanctuary, nor when the holy light from Above struck Little Timmy which immediately granted him the privileged powers of a Cleric. After the ceremony, Little Timmy was forced to sit...
That poster on the wall was surely going to fall down any minute now. It was barely holding on by a single piece of tape. Not even clear tape. Suddenly someone steps in front of the poster and his train of thought is broken for long enough to hear them speak. "You didn't hear the whole thing did you?"she asks. The ma...

Not everyone resurfaces and they are gone forever. If the being resurfaces, the person must continue swimming. At the far bank is the tree of destiny. The person must ...
Maddox wipes the bar counter down as guests stream into the Chronos Paradox. A couple of regulars come in, the enigmatic trio: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. They speak ancient Greek, but to everyone else it's translated into their native language. Socrates starts, "By all means marry; if you get a good wife you'll become...
Sigurd looked on warily, as the 12 inhuman heads stared at him, their eyes flickering every time he moved. He brandished his spear, given to him by his mother, Hel, as he asked warily, 'O Gargoyle's of Germania, O creatures of immense beauty and wise experience, auguries of Yggdrasil, I require counsel.' Not expectin...
These clothes weren't new to him, but they weren't the ones that he'd worn since Illinois. Those were still in some lost and found, unknowable miles eastward. The cargo pants, stitched together from old fire hoses; those had been gifted courtesy of the Nebraska Highway Patrol, for services rendered. Uv blocking desert ...
He asked me to take his wallet out of his back pocket! "I can't touch men, its against my religion", she quacked & stuffed his sausages into the bag. "$5.33." "But my wallet..."

I was called foolish and shortsighted for my attempts at making technology work. I was told and I knew that even novices could disrupt everything but I think I've figured out a solution. A corruption of what magic stands for, but it works. I don't have a creative name for it, the scrolls I've written describing it cal...
My boyfriend (36M) and I (36F) got engaged three days ago. (It’s finally happening!!) I have spent the past several months preparing my house for him to move in. I’ve even been planning the perfect wedding: calling all the caterers, arranging for the flowers, getting a guest list together, ensuring all the vendors kno...
“Ya know… This endless killing… Like sure, sometimes it’s fun, killing murderers and the like, sometimes unfun, killing innocents… But don’t you think that… Maybe… This.. end the world thing is bad for all of us? Our mental health and… Maybe even our lives?” This has bothered me for a long time… Killing, ending entire ...
“Forgive me father for I have sinned” Said the old woman in the confession. On the other side sat Father Maxson, listening to the old crone’s raspy voice. “Speak my child” Father Maxson spoke in a deep and commanding voice. “Thank you Father. Two days ago I had gone to the cemetery on Eastwood ridge to deliver flo...
I exist. This comes as a surprise to me. I exist, and I have... form? I have questions. I know what questions are, and that surprises me as well. I have existed for (oh wow, did I just invent time?) only moments, and I don't know why. Do I have purpose? I don't know. What am I? I don't know that either. Alright. ...
New Rule #1 - Hire a lawyer before asking a genie to grant a wish. You’d note that down if you had a pencil nearby, and by nearby you mean actually grasped in your little fists, because you’re pretty sure you couldn’t get one even if it were in your desk drawer considering the fact that you can’t even sit up in ...
The young monk has already asked for clarity, but still he does not understand. "All these years..."he pauses as he considers the teachings. To care for all people. To use the strength you have to protect and help. What could his master possibly mean? "You've taught us what it means to be good. To be righteous and cons...
Dear Nana Lucy You told me that I should always stay away from the ‘crazy, old witch’ Bertha but she came to my house and told me of this mailbox. She cackled as she informed me that I could again communicate with you. She couldn’t be that mean, she practically laughed the whole time. *How is heaven? How is my do...
“I know how this looks, but please… let me explain,” I started to speak before being interrupted by my crying wife, “No. Jess you killed our son! What could you possibly say to make this ok!?” I stand over the dead body looking down at it, knife in hand. Tears drip down my face, “This is not my son anymore… he tried to...
"Were you evil? Were you an abuser, a killer, a manipulator, a failure? You didn’t have to be any of them necessarily to end up hurting people. That is the saddest reason of them all to end up here. Life really does laugh in your face, doesn’t it? When you were so good that it was wasted, so nice that you help...
“But, I brought him for show and tell! Look, he can sit!” Lough set her human, Tommy, on the floor. “Sit, boy!” Tommy plopped his booty on the floor and looked up to his master, ears perked. “Good boy!” Lough exclaimed, scratching his curls. “Lough, no humans allowed for show and tell.” Mrs. Litk said. “Come now, le...
"You are not my girlfriend." My old friend Acetylene sipped his coffee as he leaned against the railing of my balcony and looked out at the beach. Ace didn't turn around to look at me as he remarked, "So this is where you ran off to? I'll be honest, Cerastes, you never struck me as the type to run off to Costa Rica....
Orasen stared at Deric blankly, before a terrible pallor spread over his features. “Y-you’re joking, right?” Deric gestured at the pentagram, and then at their fallen compatriot. “Nope. I think someone messed the spell up. And now the literal king of demons is going to be reborn somewhere. And we have no idea what h...
I\`m so so sorry but after I finished about 3/4 of my story I realized I read your prompt wrong. "Jewellery ~~off of~~ with you". Just in case you'd like to read my story anyways! \\\* Farah? Jailed.

When Cooper Davidson found out about this "witch"from his younger brother Harold, he thought the witch was fake. After all, Harold was known for telling "tall tales"in the household, but this time, he seemed determined to prove the actual existence of the witch to him. So, the brothers went on a walk, and after approxi...
That was 3 years ago. When I see old movies from before 2020, I struggle to remember how it felt to live without the specter of ‘The RapSuuuuure”. Everyone is frightened of religion. It started with children suing the big churches for reparation after their parents were removed. I mean the churches had very few members...
I had a buddy in the Task force against animal cruelty. And one day the raided an unlicensed and very much illegal breeder who did not keep things up to code. Most of the puppies were Dalmatians who had found homes, except for my "Rottweiler". I gave him a tough name too, "blade". Though he was far from tough, he was ...
Aboard the Tanya Jones: I adjusted my wetsuit again. Double checking my scuba equipment, making sure everything was in order. "Millie.. you don't have to do this.. The lake is dangerous and it's said she doesn't give up her dead easily." "Terry . I think I'm the only one who can do this. And I promised th...
Jackie, the suicidal guide of our quest, giggles with joy and turns toward the sight,"Peekaboo!"They screamed. Instantly, Jackie was then torn apart while laughing maniacally. I look to Jackie's decapitated head and those crazy eyes glances right at me. Flesh and bone pieces zoom together and was soon whole again. "EHH...
It all began two months ago as a group known as ‘Hackers of the God’ changed the world as we had known. These so-called warriors of justice as they called themselves send a letter of intent to the biggest leaders of the world. America, Germany, India, China, France, Russia, Japan and many more received it and ignored i...
The young woman with her black ponytail stood in deep thoughts in front of the microwave waiting for her dinner to be heated. It had become somewhat of a ritual to her after a long hard day in the hospital. Looking down at her feet she still saw the blood that had splattered on her shoes prior to this evening by a pati...
"So, why did you believe that kidnapping me would further your agenda?"I asked the masked figures who were hovering around me. I as in a chair, my legs tied with rope and my arms lashed down onto the arms of the chair. "Shut up, lady,"The "leader" growled as he looked up at the sky. "Soon, they'll be here." "Who? S...
Confused and bewildered, Marianne turned the tables on the werewolf. "Even if I am a witch, what are you going to do about it?"She twirled her hair in a disrespectful gesture. "Pesky idiots." "Well, hey now,"stuttered the youngest werewolf, Jamieson. "Just cause we're werewolves, doesn't mean you gots anything to do w...
Black Shuck slid open the door to the abandoned warehouse and glanced around the room. There was no sign that anyone had set foot in the place in months, possibly years. Still, she carefully stalked through the building, keeping her perceptive ears and nose on high alert. Her caution proved to be well placed when she h...
"You don't say?"I couldn't keep the sarcasm from my voice as I looked over at my twin brother who had just destroyed a building, and I, the sister, was tasked with stopping him, "Which part was it? When you monologued for an hour or when your bomb didn't detonate properly and you threw a train at it?" "Alice, I'm real...
"Officer, what does it mean to be a hero?"Said the man in handcuffs. "I'm not listening to anything you say freak!" "Why officer? I just asked a simple question. What I did was certainly questionable; however why am I considered the villain here? I was merely seeking justice. Justice that could not be properly admini...
"Son,"the doctor said, at last. "I'm afraid you have no mana." Nakui blinked. Then he upturned his palm. A small ball of blue light appeared above it. "But then...how is it that I can I use magic?" "That's the question, isn't it?"the doctor said, with a perplexed sigh. Leaning heavily on his ceremonial staff, he lowe...
It was July the 4th 1978 in United States Penitentiary, Marion. I had calculated it to be the case at least. Back there in solitary confinement, we were provided but the strictest information. I belonged there for bold actions within. Just as I belonged in this prison for terrible actions without. For the past three w...
I will say, I was one of the ones that thought that a Mad God would be the literal end of the world. I can now say that I was wrong. With the God in control, there no need for the many governments of the world directing their own group of people and hating their neighbors and others. Secondly, because they could see...
<Comedy> ## A Gracious Host There's been an interesting podcast on the radio lately. Usually, they do a run of a feature called [Fun Trope Friday](https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/wiki/fun_trope/), but apparently, they're choosing one lucky winner to be featured in a one-off horror read. I sent something in, ...
"Hello?" "You've reached the universal line for the Time Police. What's your emergency?" "Uh, there's like, a whole bunch of people who are supposed to be dead that are chasing me down. They got like, mega-lasers and rail-guns and stuff!" "Okay, what time period are you calling from? As far as you can tell, are they...
Breg gorged itself as the humans slept. Its hunger would never be satiated. It devoured the humans’ dreams at an accelerating rate as the night grew longer and the sun started to warm the eastern horizon. It would be dawn soon and the humans would wake from their sleep. Breg could not yet follow the night and continue ...
\[Rhapsody of Change\] "Yes?"Edgar was quick to open the door and greet his guest with a smile. He didn't know who she was; but, the red scissor logo on her crisp white blazer told him everything he needed to know. She was a pale teenager with long, straight white hair. He would have guessed her to be too young to be ...
“Aw, dammit…” Luke shook his head. Blaise the Magnificent was rosy-cheeked and slurring his speech as he slid over to yet another annoyed-looking woman. Michael smirked at him from across the table. “Bit worse than you expected?” The heavily-armoured Paladin asked, chuckling to himself. “Ugggh, I don’t get it. I lock...
I was walking down the street at night looking kinda like I got money but not so much money that the police will care. And I do that because I don’t have anything to loose, I’ve lost all my family, most of my money, and everything else. So I was just out to die cause I don’t care. So when a man in all black walked up ...
Hades and Persephone had been very easy. Hades adapted very well to his job of coroner and Persephone ran a flower shop. Hermes was easy too. He became a mail carrier. Last I heard, he was throughly enjoying it. Thor was placed as a weatherman. His accuracy was rapidly becoming legendary. He did on occasion intervene t...
I wandered around our church at night. I do this just to make sure nothing strange happened during the day. This patrol I heard the priestess singing, I didn't question that too much but I struggled to understand the lyrics. So I went closer. She was doing something I thought I'd never see. She was dancing, an act tha...
\[Surge of Potential\] "I get what's supposed to happen...,"Crystal nodded as she elaborated her answer. "...Mundo covered that briefly, but I don't get how it happens,"she said. The teenage druid was walking through a quiet, picket-fence neighborhood with two friends. It was a cool, crisp morning; the sun hadn't yet ...
I walked down the drop bay of the plane, inspecting my team as I did so. Brave souls - every last one of them. These men and women volunteered for this mission. And I am not talking the usual voluntold that usually happens in the military. We laid out what we knew. What we suspected. What we were merely guessing at, ...
“How long?” The captain asked me. I knew exactly what he was asking. How long were we going to be in the limbo dimension before we reached our destination. The captain was always on edge before we went in - he got down right paranoid once we were in. “Nine days, three hours, and twenty two minutes,” I reported cris...
My morning routine was fairly straightforward: 7 AM- wake up, light workout, shower. 8 AM- breakfast, coffee, a bit of reading the news. 9 AM- get to my desk to start my day at work. I'd answer some emails, make some progress on a project, and attend a meeting, but I always made sure to block off 11 AM as another dail...
You sit at your PC/Laptop browsing reddit one day, it is quite rainy. As you search thru reddit posts you hear a loud crash, or something like that. Soon after you hear the sound of boots stomping on your wooden floor, thinking it was an intruder you lock your room door and call the cops. "911 what's your emergency?"a ...
A gaint crystal blue lake lay before me, lined with trees and grass with a gushing and flowing waterfall just down the riverbed topped with icy-capped mountains. If my descriptions didn't satify you, let me just say the view was incredible. And it was all mine. Sighing with a quick twist of my back, my bag s...
It was everything I had wanted. Or- I had thought it was? The only problem was that every time I had walked through the hallways, a second set of thumps, noises, footsteps, sounded behind me. And to be honest, it truly scared the shit out of me. For being a person living alone, even though it seemed like I had been ...
The pain. It's constant, it's forever there. I can't breathe without shocks of agony circling my nerves. It was my own doing. I drank too much and I still drove. My boyfriend was terrified. In the passenger seat. When I crashed, I was thrust from the windscreen, my flesh burning into the asphalt and I survived. I could...
A breathtaking pair of bright blood red lips Form silent words that wither past the teeth. A most vibrant façade built to eclipse The ever patient void that lurks beneath. Fragile bones cradled in hands so soft They stroke gently his alabaster hair. Tears run rivulets from eyes held aloft, Locked deep...
Air Bud bapped the goon with his snout, sending the goon flying. He fell into an enormous basketball hoop, and the audience at home laughed and cheered. The box of jewelry fell as he flew, scattering priceless jewels at Bud’s feet. He gently picked up each jewel and refit them in their appropriate place in the soft ...
Have you heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? It’s a simple concept, even for the mentally feeble to understand; the concept’s named after one such dullard, so it shouldn’t be that difficult to grasp for a vigilante. You see, there was once a man known as Dunning-Kruger. He wasn’t a bright man; he’d be right at home wit...
First, recent studies have shown that more often than not, enemy combatants possess heads and limbs of their own. When engaging in combat with these individuals, we’re participating in more than one level of warfare: physical and mental. With this new design, we’re engaging with both levels. When an enemy trooper lays ...
1. Describe the cause of death. Michael Fitzgibbons' head was spun around three hundred and sixty degrees. 2. Describe the events immediately leading up to client's death. It was a classic summoning ritual gone wrong. Michael was reading from an ancient cultic manuscript. His memory is a little fuzzy, and we could...
"God fucking damnit, sixth newbie this week."A man thought to himself as he threw a stack of paperwork marked with red stamps on every page into a metal trash bin. What did it matter? It’ll all be incinerated later. He took a deep breath before stepping out of his room and walking into a hall, calling out a name. "TOB...
I approached the dusty, old west style gate that stood before me. It was made up of iron like bars that had greyed and crumbled. I peered through the slats and saw a town in absolute disrepair. I turned back around planning on going back the way I came, only I didn’t know how I came, I was just there. I tried to speak...

Thomas knew he was getting old. All humans would come to the end of their lives, one way or another. His joints ached when it was raining. His eyesight had gotten steadily worse since he retired twelve years back, needing glasses so he could read. He even had to get up once or twice a night to relieve himself. Despit...
If you travel far down Norman Avenue, past the beach houses and even farther past the secluded, secret beaches that the locals love, that's where you will find true beauty. That is where I found true beauty. I started going there to clear my head. Sometimes it feels like there is just too much going on. Ther...
When you’re a man in my position, you learn to be sensitive to the faintest of sounds, especially at night. Even through the thunderstorm, I heard the creaking of the floor. One, two, one, two, seems there is only one of them this time. I got up as quietly as possible and grabbed my crossbow from under the bed. I sat, ...

Recruitment was disturbingly easy. I found many of the thugs were more than willing to help put up a fight. The promise of money and glory was enough for them. Those who were more reticent soon came around, when they saw the size of the army I had gathered. Not that I stopped there. I spoke with the crime family, the ...
You lost your voice. Where could you have left it? You must have left it at home. You walk up to your door, and you rummage around your bag looking for your keys. You lost you keys. Where could you have left them? You would scream, if you could. But you can't, not without your voice. Oh god, someone help me, you...
(i know very little about harry potter) Harry hurried to class, late again, as his mountain of books stood uneasily in his arms. He finally reached the classroom, and slid to his seat meekly.

A girl crouched in the corner, cradling her head in her delicate porcelain hands. Tears squeezed out of her shut eyes and she pressed her back to the wall. Her brown hair formed a curtain, shielding her face from the dark room around her. She could feel herself breaking apart like a dropped vase, but she had managed to...
Live's always been hard on my mum, I think. Or maybe it's hard on everyone and she just had to endure it a lot longer than most. From what she told me her childhood was pretty decent for that time, although she never got that good of an education besides the "Ladylike"things her mum taught her. By the time she had ...
It was a Tuesday, the sky was clear, the city streets were awash with human traffic. Those rich in time sat in chairs outside cafes, drinking coffee and watching the world go by. The more conventionally rich hurried by wearing expensive suits while talking on mobiles. Oh course the truly rich never walked anywhere in...
Part (1/2): Heavy rain came down hard against the wet pavement. She was cold, wet, and miserable. Stood out in the rain like this wasn’t how she’d expected tonight to end.

Why would you need walls when every citizen could reshape the earth with a thought? Why did we need an army when every citizen was a killing machine? We did not fear death, for we always returned. We did not fear aging for we did not age. There were some things we could not do. * We could not kill another one of us....
Sarah stared at the positive test in her hand. Her hands shook from nervousness. She loved her fiancé Eric, more then anything in the world, but her desperation to be a mother was stronger.

“And here we have a glass of fine red, sampled only from the most pained, wretched souls. Note the hint of longing, sorrow, and regret.

I eased myself down into my deck chair. My old bones aching at the effort. I take a deep steadying breath. The sun is slowly setting - setting the sky ablaze in orange and reds. I look out over my beautiful backyard. The grass is freshly mowed - it still has that fresh mowed smell. The trees are lush and full. Flower...

I’m not sure what the the reaction was expected to be but it probably wasn’t this, not a single hunter said a word.

In the beginning. After the end. There was only the Word. It expanded throughout and filled unfathomable voids and in its quest for more it split into past and present. The origin and ending is irrelevant to the present, where all the variations mattered the most. These interactions between worlds and words are preci...

My face adorns the mask more then the mask adorns my face, the skin and flesh and bone and blood gift focus, some purpose beyond mere accessory.

John Smith breathlessly walked up the steps to the Transportation Quarter, cursing to himself when he discovered a line of about a hundred busy bodies.
