My life isn’t worth living. Without hope I decided to end it all. Between us two, I'm not happy it ended this way. |

[WP] Last words aren't just words spoken before death, but actually call death to you. You have known your last words for years and kept death at bay by refusing to speak them. Now, however, they need to be said. | Joe Eustace looked at the makeshift ramp. He couldn't resist, jumping the canyon was just to tempting.
In his ear was the chanting of his family. He would miss them, but if he was going to die, it was going to be glorious. With no once of regret in his voice. Joe let the words slip from his mouth.

[WP] In peacetime, the ruler grows their hair long. In war, they cut it short. To declare war, a persons hair is sent to the enemy. The statement carries greater weight the longer the hair; to receive long hair says you have angered one slow to anger, that you have incurred a wrath not easily woken. | Queen Il Amia the Quiet drags the flat of the blade against the ends of her hair.

[WP] One day you wake up with 30 dollars and a note that says “For Rent”. The thing is you aren’t renting out the place. The next day you see a spider and right before you kill it you hear it say, “Please i paid my rent don’t kill me”. | "OY HANG ON MATE I FUCKIN PAID MY RENT!" A tiny deep voice suddenly echoes through my room as I was about to grab a bug zapper.

It buzzes as well as a message pops up claiming I did not have level 20 cooking to operate it. Well, that settle... | The words were still flickering there.
With a trembling hand, Alison tried again to crack the egg into the pan. A light shock raced up her arm as she encountered what felt like a slight force-field.

The world knows you as the Metal Magician, but you just call yourself an Engineer. | A parody, you'll know what:

[WP] You die and find yourself in hell, where apparently everyone spends time to negate their sins before they go to heaven. The guy in front of you, who cheated on his wife, gets 145 years. Feeling like you led a fairly average and peaceful life, you’re not worried. You get 186,292 years. | ----------------------------------------------
186,292 YEARS?
How could this be? I never even harmed a fly. Okay, well - maybe a few of those. You know what I mean.

[WP] Making a deal with a demon requires a soul. Usually this is a very bad idea, but you got a crazy idea. Earlier you traded your lunch money to the school bully in exchange for a piece of paper that says you own his soul. You're about to find out if demons consider this a valid contract. | "You want that, i mean you really want THAT?" The demon was dumbfounded.

"So, have you used yours yet?"
It was the question that was on everyone's minds since the Law was introduced. Death and murder had left the realms of impolite conversation, ushering in a new type of small-talk that was, in essence, macabre. Y... | The law says everyone gets to kill one person in their life without needing to facing any punishment. It seemed to have minimal impact at first.

[WP] You live in a world where love and relationships have a "credit score". If you're a good SO it makes it higher, if you cheated on someone it's plummets.

However this one is odd.He throws a coin on your stash, looks you in the eyes and says "I have a proposition for you." | The hero walked in, and the small hole I made in the ceiling cast a shaft of light onto him, gleaming off his crown. Of course, this was to give heroes a false sense of confidence, but it didn't faze him.
He walked up to me and tossed a gold coin into my pile.

Over the millennia several have worn the horns.

[WP] Your parents insist you are their biological child, but you suspect otherwise. You send samples from yourself, your parents, and siblings to a lab be tested. The lab replies that it is not equipped to test non-human DNA... | My breath caught. *This can't be real.* The voice of reason shook some sense into me and I read the letter again. "This lab is not equipped to test non-human DNA. As such, sample A35C24 was destroyed. The report that follows only contains the results from samples A35C21, A35C22, A35C23, and A35C26." *Okay, let's look ... | I panic at the words in bold. **Non-human DNA**. "What did that mean?" I mutter to myself. Suddenly, a wind came from behind. I turn to see a man in business suit standing where no one was before.
"Aw, about time you found out." The man said as he pocketed a small watch into his coat. "I swear, you guys get stupider e... | 2015-01-06T09:50:30 | 2015-01-06T08:44:25 | 251 | 16 |
[WP] Write a story with a large, illogical plot hole, then have the main character discover it. | It was July 17, 2005. Craig Katz drove to his home in Bloomington, Indiana. As he stepped out of his car, he waved to the mailman making his route. The postal officer did not return the call.
Craig grabbed his mail, opened his door, and stepped inside.
Out he laid the assorted envelopes for careful examination. He fi... | Budd flew down the highway in his red camaro; he had been flooring it for several minutes now. His pregnant wife, bashmilda, was in the back seat taking hits of meth in between drunkenly firing rounds at the pursuing police.
'Drive faster!' roared bashmilda, 'who the fuck named you?!' retorted budd. 'Also, I cant driv... | 2014-05-25T19:49:32 | 2014-05-25T19:41:47 | 235 | 98 |
[WP] At age 18 each person meets their soul-mate. For centuries everyone has fallen in love with theirs. You're the first person to not love yours. | The day I turned 18 was the first day of the rest of my life.
My birthday is late in the year, October to be precise. My mother always said that I would meet someone truly great since I had to wait longer then most. My family threw me a huge party to celebrate, like every family did. They invited everyone we knew, ac... | My mum walked in, her face completely overthrown with a smile. I had never seen her smile so much in her life. She squeezed my arm as she walked to stand behind me, and a big burly man entered the room, my soulmate.
The moment I saw him I felt sick to the pit of my stomach, like all the excitement for this moment had ... | 2015-02-21T10:53:59 | 2015-02-21T09:38:01 | 26 | 10 |
[WP] You're an enchanted suit of armor, empty on the inside. After gaining sentience you left the haunted keep you were stored in and began adventuring. As you gain notoriety as an adventurer and make friends and connections, it gets harder to keep it a secret that there's nothing behind your visor. | *Slightly deviated from the prompt, I hope you don't mind*
I awoke in the darkness, unsure of what had happened. Breathing in, I could feel that the air was cold and damp, but my skin felt dry. I felt... Encased? Covered from head to toe.
I'm wearing... Armor?
Suddenly, memories came flooding back to me. Memories of... | Seventeen months ago:
Trees flash past as the suit of armour races between them and jumps over creeks and around rocks. The suit is panting for effect and is not truly sure why. 'Keep running, keep going,' it thinks. Behind it, the curious are also running, racing through the muck and weeds, trampling tiny insects and... | 2021-09-21T09:20:40 | 2021-09-21T08:48:34 | 42 | 15 |
[WP] Your character has the lamest superpower ever.
And no, he's not Speedball.
Write an event where he or she or it is forced to use this power.
| Marcus Wright was reaching out to turn up the dial on the car radio when the feeling hit him. A tingling swept through his body, as if he were being electrified.
Marcus's wife looked at him, her brow furrowed. "Is it happening again?"
"Yes," Marcus said under his breath. He pressed his fingertips to his temple. The t... | "Hello everyone I'm Jeremy's mother. and I'm here to talk to you about sexual health."
A million sets of eyes turn to face me and I life my head up and drop it down on the desk a few times.

[WP] An AITA post from a supervillain desperate to be told they're doing the right thing. | u/catfeeder13throwaway
TL;DR: AITA for feeding my cat?
I’ve had my cat, Roxy, for around 12 years now, and am very in tune with her diet requirements. It gets a little expensive at time, because she’s very demanding and particular with her food and requires certain cuts of meat. Yes, I may have spoiler her, but I’m s... | AITA for attempting a coup?

Edit: I would like to point out that almost everyone who has disagreed with me has thus far not actually disagreed with my rationale, only with my choice of method.

[WP] You have died, after the whitelight, you see a title screen, with the options of New Game.... Load Game.... and Quit Game.
Feel free to bend this any direction you may please. | I laughed bitterly as I saw the large screen flickering before me.
So that's all my life had been in the grand scheme of things. A game. A bloody game.
I thought back to everything that had happened back when I was alive. At the time my life had seemed far more important than a game. It was a gift that was constantl... | Death smelled. It smelled of bleach and piss, but I couldn't help the latter. After all my mind was barely there anymore, and neither was I. I checked my peripherals once again, but I knew no one would be there. Since the landlord called 911 because of my moaning and shouting, I haven't seen anyone other than the nurse... | 2014-06-19T19:56:46 | 2014-06-19T18:37:33 | 35 | 10 |

The Smithsonian was well respresented, as were a number of private institutions and musical schools. Together, they picked the lineup for the greatest orchestra the world had ever seen.

[WP] You are the best actor ever. You make the deal of a lifetime. $500 million per year to act solely for Warner Brothers until you die. It's unclear who the joke is on, however. You for being stuck with WB forever, or WB for offering a lifetime contract to a secret immortal. | Five Warner Bros executives met in secret in a dimly lit office space they had rented just for tonight. It looked more like an interrogation room than an office. Certainly not the polished and sanded wood grain they were all used to. But they had no choice. The board room was no longer safe.
Two years ago they had st... | I had made the deal of the century. $500 million a year to act solely for Warner Brothers. The only catch was that it was until I died. I never expected them to last more than a few more years. The industry was struggling and their sales were tanking. I would make a couple of billion and be done.
Then Trump got electe... | 2017-04-29T19:20:31 | 2017-04-29T18:58:05 | 506 | 132 |
[WP] You lost your sight - along with everyone else on Earth - in The Great Blinding. Two years later, without warning, your sight returns. As you look around, you realize that every available wall, floor and surface has been painted with the same message - Don't Tell Them You Can See. | 5 years ago, I fell asleep on March 29th and woke up on the 30th with no sense of sight. I remember that morning vividly. I “woke up” that morning, explicitly feeling that my eyes were open, but they looked as if they were closed. I forced them open but they still showed nothing. I screamed to my parents about my situa... | The blindness passed by some sort of contagion, and by dumb luck I managed to avoid it. I had been out in the cabin in Montana. The cabin I always hated but had acted as my unwitting savior. I wasn't outdoorsy like my dad. After Dad died, Mom wanted to sell the cabin: she wasn't outdoorsy either.
