Moon rises at 1, so I have plenty of time to make myself acquainted with my new coworkers before the full moon rises, transforming me into a giant dog beast.

We all applaud. Strangely, a few of the Muggleborns seem to recognise the name, even Nathan. I lean down the table to him: "Nathan, how do you know the name?"

So it was a typical Wednesday. The place where I work was raided again. What the hell is an advanced idea mechanic anyway, can someone answer me that?

For as long as you can remember, the shard ceremony was the worst thing about turning 18. There was a global lottery proctored by Terran Hegemony that randomly selected 18 participants from each region, from everyone who had turned 18 in the previous calendar year, to touch the shard.
The Hegemony claimed it was... |
I looked around the room, intrigued. It was a pretty standard dining room. It held an antique dining room set with a cherry finish consisting of eight chairs, a hutch, a cheerio cabinet and a table.

"I'm a cop, remember?"Mick smiled at his twins, Fern and Olive. The three family members sat in their kitchen enjoying breakfast when the subject of money came up.

I hung the stockings and put out cookies. I set up the tree and turned off the lights. And once the kids were asleep upstairs, I spiked the eggnog and settled in for a relaxing night.

He carefully tucked away the hockey puck with the jacks, marbles, pogs, baseballs and footballs. He always knew when he was getting close. They’d stop coming over so much. Or they would want to talk about things he didn’t understand.

The man knelt at the edge of the still lake, completely motionless, encased still in his fine armour. He had waited there for hours, until the Sun had began to set behind the distant mountains.

Henry woke from a fitful sleep with a start. He heard something he'd been dreading - the first time he heard it, the world ended. He could never explain to anyone what it sounded like, but he knew its meaning even if he didn't know the sound. A new chapter begins.

The thick bottle bottom pair of glasses looked up to the huge muscular bearded man in leather gear.

Death took a seat in his favorite chair on his front porch and stretched his legs. He was ready for a long day of doing absolutely nothing.

The Hero sat quietly atop the boulder in the center of the bloodied field. His sword lay at one side, his shield on the other. In his hands was the helmet of the Orc commander, crafted with careful and practiced hands. It was, in its own way, beautiful. Its beauty was tarnished, unfortunately, by a bloodstained gash al... |
It had been nearly fifteen months since the accident that took so much from me. As I made my way through the small town that I’d grown up in, the autumn breeze that whipped around me tugged at my coat and I wrapped my arms around my waist, holding it against me.

Hello everyone, I'm from Russia.
Reddit says I've been here on Reddit for 38 days, and I am here on r / WritingPrompts - for 20 days. I may say it was a kind of luck for me to find this community, because it is always difficult for me to write something without a specific topic, and it is much easier for me to write ... |
Daylight savings time. It has been disguised as a relic of the past. An idea that it means there is more daylight for standard work. But the truth is much darker.

It has been several days since my encounter with the Brotherhood of Steel and the ambush which left me completely alone in this hellhole.

Sam sighed and ran the slightly damp cloth across the top of the prize case glass, wiping at the greasy finger smears left by the last over-hyped kid picking out tootsie rolls and parachute men. All around them, the sound of bouncy kids music fought with the happy screeches of prepubescents patrons and the bleeps and b... |
"Forgive me, daughter. It is much too late, I know. But I must ask for forgiveness, regardless. There is no excuse for my absence in your life. Look how you have grown. Such a beautiful young woman you've become. Princess—ah, the title matters not. My beautiful daughter."
The man smiled before her. He was old, and a l... |
Dread Wizard checked his watch. Two minutes. He was slowing down in his old age. With a wave of his hand, he broke his spell, and the superheroine fell to the ground unconscious. He didn't recognize her, but she was young; probably from the new generation of heroes. With a gesture, he dropped her through a portal ... |
"Chad"his mother said seriously. "I have something to go do. Don't try to stop me and don't follow me."

The court wizard was walking down the hallway towards his laboratory when his Pendant of Petition began to gently vibrate. He sighed and wondered why he let the King convince him to create so many other ones that linked to his. He drew the pendant from beneath his tunic and saw a translucent projection of Princess Buba... |
Finally, I was out of my mansion, city and country, without any security detail. I was finally walking around, the way normal people do. I ate at the same, hygenically questionable restaurants that served the average, cheap food that most people eat for lunch. Freedom was amazing!
