[WP] It's your first time inside the dungeon. everyone told you to kill monsters on sight. but so far, the monsters have all been really nice. This Goblin just gifted you an apple. | It was your first time entering the dungeon, and you were feeling nervous. Everyone had told you to kill the monsters on sight, but so far, the monsters you had encountered had all been surprisingly nice.
As you made your way deeper into the dungeon, you came across a Goblin. It looked at you with its beady eyes, and ... | As I stood there, dagger and shortsword in hand, the little goblin came up to me and left me an apple. It spoke in heavily accented Shai. 'Mr. Adventurer, is gift for you, as me is.' It pointed to itself, and displayed a row of shark-like teeth. It touched its own chest with its index finger, and spoke softly.

[WP] Instead of Oceans, they are all big forests, that gets taller and darker instead of deeper, with more dangerous animals living further out in the forest. A person decides to cross the Mariana Trench | Bioluminescence. That's what happens in the Dark. Kind of a misnomer because we can't fly over the tallest part of the forest without losing aircraft to the change in gravity. The scant shots we see show a never ending canopy of black tarp. I found out that calling it "The Dark" was a total and utter misnomer. Und... | Towering oaks gently swayed in the wind with orange trees acting the boundary of the Forests. The supple earth molded around its border, the showcase of the feet that have treaded on the edge.

[WP] Every year, Santa Claus delivers millions of toys in exchange of cookies and Milk. Despite his sponsorship deals with Coca-Cola and other corporations, his toy factory isn't economically sustainable without underpaying his workforce. Finally, an elf does the math and realizes he's exploited. | **The House of Claus**

The big red belly hung low over the rumbling fire place. Santa’s head was bowed but his eyes burned with intensity. Visible through th... | “No no no… this can’t be right,” Snowy said to himself. His typewriter clinged as he pushed the carriage back to the correct position. He ripped the paper off and stared intently at the maths.

Juley came back from work to find Prince Pondicherry laying on the couch, as per usual. In the ten or so months since he'd appeared - she'd lost track of the exact date, as the day she kissed a frog out of desperation for any contact at all wasn't her proudest moment - he'd... |
“Why thank you, lady, for you have freed me from thie eternal punishment! Now you shall point me to the right direction, to my mighty stronghold!”
Alice didn’t know what to say. About a minute ago, she kissed her pet frog goodnight. She’d never done this before, but knowing he was about to be put down tomorrow, sh... | 2018-09-22T01:26:53 | 2018-09-22T00:31:14 | 60 | 18 |

Mm. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe Google finally fucked up big time and we’ll finally hold them accountable for their monopolistic actions and therefore drastic consequences. By drastic consequences I mean someone else looking at my porn history and figuring out my sexual preferences.

[WP] One of the gods of your world has abdicated, and each of the others has nominated a mortal candidate for the position. You've been sponsored by the weakest of the gods, and while the others are being granted all sorts of powers for the tournament, all you've been given is an odd looking musket. | "It's... a musket."
I couldn't believe what I had in my hands. Well, I couldn't believe where I was, why I was there, who I was with, and what I had in my hands but the first three were of little importance since this tournament was going to happen with me in it regardless if I thought I should participate or not.
