While the elevator is going up, you read the sign taped on the metal wall: "If you have any feeling of deja-vu past this point, report to management immediately." | Huh. Weird.
I mentally shrugged and opened the door. There was probably some trolling intern who was posting signs just to get a reaction, and I've definitely worked in weirder places.
The door opened into a hallway and I checked the directions that had been mailed to me. The offices were located on the third floor, ... | Winston rode the elevator up to the top, floor 8, and saw 32 identical cubes open before him. It was a call center, yes. But it had the best compensation of any job he could get with his qualifications. He went to the first row, 5 cubes in and sat down.
There was a call script in front of him, but they made a point th... | 2022-05-03T11:23:06 | 2022-05-03T10:46:13 | 251 | 39 |
[WP] Your kingdom lies in ruins and the demons are at the gate. You hold the sacred relic that has been passed down for countless generations to your lips and speak a prayer in a long forgotten language: "Orbital Strike on my location" | "_Instruction not followed. Instruction requires command authorization and safety protocol override. Please consult documentation for more information._"
The response from the Relic took me by surprise. I had never heard it speak before, and though the words were said in the common tongue, their meaning eluded me. As ... | It was silent aboard the orbital watch post, though signs of frenzied activity could be seen. A half-full meal tray still steamed next to a hastily thrown down book. Coffee from an oversized mug had spilled all over two sets of discarded work coveralls. A foreboding black locker stood with doors thrown wide, its open p... | 2021-11-08T09:26:22 | 2021-11-08T09:25:42 | 65 | 40 |
[WP] The gods send their angels and demons down to Earth to fight the alien ghost zombies and robotic vampires being controlled by an AI overlord. | The director looked down at the script then up at the author. "I can't believe I agreed to direct this thing without reading it first. I barely know where to begin. I guess I can handle multiple gods and their angels and demons. I can do a robotic vampire controlled by AI. But 'alien ghost zombies' doesn't even make se... | Once upon a time, in a land far away there was an army of alien ghost zombies and robot vampires. Now usually alien ghost zombies and robot vampires just like to sip tea and pass the day pleasantly, carousing and strolling on the sun dappled promenade, but unfortunately it seemed their innocent lives of quiet leisure w... | 2014-09-06T03:08:47 | 2014-09-06T01:01:44 | 274 | 40 |
[WP] It was supposed to be an easy burglary. Husband left for work at 6, kid left for school at 7, and the wife left for shopping at 12. You go in at 12:30 to grab a TV and some jewelry. Breaking in and finding the husband, kid, and wife hanging from the ceiling was definitely not part of the plan.
[removed] | (First Comment here, thanks for your patience)
This was meant to be child’s play. Spent the week casing the joint. Knew their routines knew how they worked and went about their lives. Or so I thought. Slowly creep around back making sure to avoid the prying gaze of the neighbour Mrs. Arthur.
Back door left unlocked... | It was supposed to be an easy job. You just had to rob this family's house, as the father owed money to your hirer, and needed to get the money. You knew about the safe in the space between the floorboards, and where its passcode is. "Top floor, to the right, under the dresser" you repeated in your head. You had spent ... | 2020-10-18T07:14:15 | 2020-10-18T03:09:54 | 97 | 35 |
[WP]everyone has a sigil on their body that represents powers that were bestowed onto humanity after the rapture of the Milky Way. The bullies at school always pick on you because you never used your power, but you’ve had enough. Now they are going to find out why your sigil is a plain old circle | “Hey! Blankie!” A blast of light came at my face as I quickly dodged, used to him doing this exact thing.
I turned to see an absolute hulk of a man, his eyes dimming back to normal, as he came over to me chuckling to himself as he knew what he would be getting , just like every day. He stuck his hand out. “Hand it ove... | Even before the rapture, that's what we've grown to call the day the sky lit up like a god had laid fire to a rainbow, i had trouble fitting in. I never enjoyed the "normal" things kids were supposed to: sports, video games, comic books. I was always staring out the window. Looking for shapes in the clouds or stars.

[WP] Last names are assigned at birth by an oracle, and 90% of people find themselves in a related profession. For instance "Miller" or "Baker." Your last name, "World-Ender," has made life rather difficult. | "I'm sorry, but we can't approve you for a home loan, ma'am."
"Why?"
"Due to the implications of your...name, our insurance won't cover you should you...you know."
"If I ended the world from the house I wanna buy with this loan, your insurance wouldn't really matter, would it?"
"No, but...think of it as preventativ... | [Poem]
A name assigned at birth, a role, a calling to one's feet,
As Miller, Baker, Pâtissier, all make that which we eat.
So say that Mister Author dies one night while on a bender;
His fans will cry then dry their tears and call for me: World-Ender. | 2021-06-19T23:03:38 | 2021-06-19T20:30:40 | 36 | 21 |
[WP] A former child star has given up fame and fortune to pursue a career in academia. PhD candidate Jaden Smith presents his dissertation in Philosophy, "How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real" | Once Again, Thank You To The Members Of This Committee, To All Those In Attendance, To My Adviser Dr. Otto Emordanillap, And To This Institution.
In My Humble Opinion It Is Ludicrous That Philosophy Is In Such A State That Both Mirrors And Eyes Are Considered To Be Real, That Is, Actual In Their Being. The Only Thing ... | In the instance of a perfect mirror all light would theoretically reflect off of it without being altered by the mirror's surface. This fundamentally makes it impossible for us to observe the mirror itself due to the nature in which our eyes perceive reality, which is through analyzing photons over time, meaning we can... | 2015-05-31T00:37:56 | 2015-05-30T23:06:50 | 36 | 11 |
[WP] The Earth has finally run out of fossil fuels to use as energy and, with the only other option being to turn to clean and renewable energy sources, the U.S. has decided to take drastic measures: trying to reach into alternate dimensions to find oil and other fossil fuels. | The portals were set up a month ago. Now, I would be leading a team of 60 men to this unknown dimension. It’s been over a year since fossil fuels ran out, If I came back successful I would be regarded as a hero.
“5 minutes till departure, sir.”
“Yes, yes, tell them to start if the portal.”
The Commander in Chief him... | The lines for the gas station were brutal. Sitting in the Texas heat with the windows down and the car turned off to conserve gas? Almost just as bad. Marcus Holliday - call me Marky, he would always say with a lopsided grin and a sly wink - sighed and patted the dash of the old Chevy. Dust swirled in through the windo... | 2019-09-04T06:29:24 | 2019-09-04T05:30:27 | 52 | 37 |
[WP] Death has hourglasses for every person. One day, during a cleaning, he found a dust covered one that had rolled under his desk. | *No.* Death thought. *It couldn't be.*
Death reached below the grand wooden table, hastily pulling out the dust covered hourglass. Questions flooded its mind. *How? When? Who?*
Carefully, Death set the hourglass sideways on its table, like the way it found it, the only one among the seven billion or so hourglasses in... | "Oh my", Said Death. Underneath the very large dark desk he found a life.
He picked up the dusty vessel and turned it around in his bony hands. One of the downsides of not having skin, he decided, was that it was a bother getting dust off placards.
This was not good. Well, not that it was bad per say but most certa... | 2018-10-03T06:52:49 | 2018-10-03T06:25:35 | 2,861 | 110 |
[WP] "I don't wanna fight you, low-level bandit." Says the Lv.100 Hero, who killed the embodiment of space-time. "I wouldn't want to fight me, neither." Says the low-level bandit. | "I don't think you understand," the Hero said. "It's not that I'd lose, it's-"
"You'd win, yeah. I know," the bandit said defeatedly. "I mean, of course."
"What do you mean?" asked the mighty hero, vanquisher of all evil.
"I mean come on. You've killed dragons, monsters, gods. Obviously, I know who you are. I just t... | I sighed at the bandit. He wore simple leather armour, sporting a well used sword. His long brown hair was a wild mop on his head, clearly untended to. His sharp face was set in a determined expression, though I could see a seed of doubt in his mind.
I shifted my balance, ready for him to make his inevitable swing. M... | 2022-08-11T16:37:51 | 2022-08-11T14:53:24 | 1,203 | 198 |
