[WP] Instead of a modern adaptation of a myth, write a mythic adaptation of a modern story. | Kimberly was a lower goddess, a dying breed oft forgotten in favor of the major gods.
Born from the loins of two once-powerful gods, she had hope in her heart that she would one day rise beyond even their fame. With her beauty, she believed she deserved something more. Something grand.
So she toiled, working undernea... | Once upon a time, there was a man who owned a tavern with his sister.

[WP] While magic is real, it cannot affect "normies". Nor can they see it. You can cast a huge explosion and only other magically gifted people will be hurt. Buildings/objects constructed by normies are unaffected. You have been waging a secret war with Kevin from HR for years. | "Why don't you have a seat?" Kevin from HR gestured as he closed the door behind me. Kevin's office was adorned with photos of his family, a baseball he caught at Wrigley field, a Garfield mug, and some Funko Pops from a normie show I never heard of.
I sat in the swivel chair facing Kevin's desk, it was clearly broke... | PT 1
That morning started off surprisingly well. The baby woke me at four-- a nice little lie-in-- and for once the apartment wasn't freezing. The A/C is old and crotchety and, unfortunately, completely non-magical, so I can't do much to fix it. I've tried. I know magic's a bust for non-magical systems, but I thought... | 2021-11-15T13:12:56 | 2021-11-15T12:52:09 | 26 | 18 |
[WP] You are a museum curator with a dark secret. You have entered into a pact with a living painting that devours its viewers. You setup a "private viewing room" and specifically target wealthy and corrupt patrons to be its meals. | ‘Girl in Yellow Flowers’ is not an especially interesting or technically advanced oil painting, even you can admit that. It sits prettily enough, framed in bronze, among its peers along the walls, created by geniuses. It was placed initially as a foil to its friends, to give the viewer the uncomplicated pleasure of a s... | "Et, Monsieur LePatomy, comment-ca va?"
"I'm not French you nincompoop, I'm English. Just because I have a French sounding last name you think I'm French? It's pronounced Lee-pay-tommy. Lepatomy."

[WP] Worldwide internet access shuts down for 45 minutes. When access is available again, everything is the same, but feels "off" in a way that nobody can pinpoint what or why. Someone finds out what it is, and wishes they hadn't. | Nobody had an issue with the first few minutes. As the few minutes stretched to ten, and then twenty, the world began to panic. I remember my TV screen going insane as BBC was reporting on the current state of the internet; really, I didn’t think it was that big of a deal – must have been something with the wires under... | Indira hated her job. Working in a callcenter was bad already (to the point that she told relatives that she worked as a janitor because it had a higher status) and working for what had to be the worst ISP ever was a complete and utter horror.

The forest, I can handle. What's left of it, anyway. The immortality, not so much. The worst part? I don't even get a wicked-ass name. The Timberbeast. Forest Demon. Scott. Any of these would be preferable. Unfortunately for myself and the English language, these are no longer words t... | \[Poem\]

[wp] after dying god informs you that hell is a myth, and "everyone sins, its ok". instead the dead are sorted into six "houses of heaven" based on the sins they chose. | "I thought there were 7 deadly sins." I asked Peter.
St. Peter looked at me with a sad smile.
"Of course there are, but that's not the sins that matter."
So I'm going to an Afterlife based on sins I've never heard about?." I asked?
"No, not at all. I'm sure you have heard of them. Come, I'll show you to your gate.... | "Besides, no one's ever on this road."

[WP] After a year that just continually got worse, you went to sleep on New Year's Eve, 2019, ready to positively face the year ahead. You woke up to find the date to be December 32nd, 2019. That was some time ago; today is December 583rd, 2019, and your sanity is starting to slip. | Robert knew that the bad thing had caused this. Caused the clock to break and time to loop. Now each new day pulled another thread out the same old sweater.
On this morning, as every morning, clouds strangled the rising sun and only a sliver of blood-red soaked through. Robert considered staying in bed. The clock no l... | Groggily I opened my eyes and opened the calendar app on my phone, squinting against the sudden light. It said "December 583, 2019."
With a sigh, I sat up in bed. Why had we stopped manually tracking dates? Ever since the computers started tracking things like date and time, things were just... wrong. And yet, it had ... | 2019-12-22T04:56:16 | 2019-12-22T04:24:46 | 1,943 | 374 |

"Turn it on!"
With a slight hum, Oracle came to life. "Initiating suicide protocols..." It began after a few moments, like all the others. Nothing happened for a few seconds. "Oh dear," Oracle cont... | Had I known then what I know now, I would've left my position on the board and pursued a new life. That, however, is something I cannot do.
It was simple. The technology was attainable, and the polls showed the demand. All that was left was the creation itself – an artificial intelligence that could regulate the work... | 2015-03-02T07:59:47 | 2015-03-02T07:28:28 | 1,025 | 55 |
[WP] Whenever you speak, people hear you speaking in their native language. Most people are surprised and delighted. The cashier at McDonalds you've just talked to is horrified. "Nobody's spoken that language in thousands of years." | All my life I have been able to subconsciously translate my speech to match the original language of who I am talking to.
It was quite terrifying at first. speaking Polish to my Mom when I was 2 minutes old was quite the tale. The poor Korean woman at Walmart...
Anyways, life had gone on as usual. Occasionally, I wo... | I froze up, my go-to whenever anything significant happens in my life.
"Yeah, well, that kid's mom gave him such a whooping for it, we *all* learned a lesson!"

[WP] "What did you just say?" Asked the confused alien admiral. "The humans put miniature FTL-drives inside their AMMUNITION!" | Back before the Maxwell drive, you always got stories of how warp travel would change the world for the better. Star Trek and Star Wars and all that: even back then, FTL was seen, by and large, as a peaceful technology, a way to get around that would make life better.
The truth is, the Maxwell drive is terrifying. It... | "First of all, HOW DID THEY MANUFACTURE SUCH SMALL DRIVES!?" Screamed the admiral, a little spitle flying across the room and landing on a screen, the poor lieutenant who was currently the focus of the rather angry admirals attention let out a small whimpering sound.

[WP] Just as the almighty villain is about to strike down the destined hero, they notice that said hero is only 15 years old. Disgusted, they demand to know who would force such a massive responsibility onto a child, and take it upon themselves to raise this kid as he should have been raised. | The king readied his killing blow, the hero fallen at his feet. He had fought valiantly, but he was inexperienced, too rash. The king studied him closely, realizing that this was no hero - it was just a kid, not even 16 years of age. A kid that had taken on a king.
He decided that the boy deserved more than this. He w... | I'm not going to talk long about that time, the time when I was told that I hold a great destiny in my hand.

[WP] Reincarnation is a known, common, and expected result of death. You are a bounty hunter that specializes in tracking down people who have committed suicide to escape debts or a jail sentence. | Thunder rumbled as the grey clouds lumbered across the sky.

As the tracking orb pulsed more fervently, Jameson became more cautious, choosing instead to mo... | Sarah had an apple lodged in her mouth. That was my personal touch.

[WP] People do not get weaker and more frail as they age - they get stronger and stronger. "Dying of old age" is when groups of young people band together to kill off their elders before they become too strong to defeat. | From his hidden roost in the bushes, Tin Tang suppressed the urge to vomit as the stench of the Elder's meal forced it's way into his nostrils. The rest of his hunting squad, not a one of them older than sixteen, remained safely behind the cover of trees and rocks. Waiting. Watching.

Dear God RIP my inbox | When I first entered the building that was now to give me money for doing what I had always been doing I got a slight annoyance from the squeaky doors.

I glanced up at him through my eyelashes, the tiny hairs all over my body rising. My heart was racing at the mere thought that he may return my love. I didn’t care what it was in exchange for, I would have killed for him.
I longed to feel his warm embrace, his hands on my hips, his lips on mine. I wanted ... | "Anything?" His mouth hitched up at one corner, and suddenly a strange feeling passed through me. I gulped, but I wasn't backing down. He was my soulmate, and yes, I would do ANYTHING for this man. I nodded, and his eyes glinted.

[WP] A person’s superpowers will unlock when the conditions are right. The good thing about this is that a lot of people’s powers unlocked during the zombie apocalypse. The bad thing? There’s now a lot of superpowered zombies everywhere. | A lot of people were convinced the Bite wasn't that big of a deal.

Sometimes she didn't notice they'd done it. The girl had hands that would steal anything. A watch from a man's coat pocket, a ladies purse and apple from the stall. All found their way via her clever hands into her own pockets. They were large hands for such a small girl, s... | Alyssa was a seasoned thief, with a reputation for taking on the most daring and seemingly impossible heists. So when the Godfather himself approached her with a job, she didn't hesitate for a moment. The money he offered was too good to pass up, and the promise of security and financial success for her entire family s... | 2022-12-19T00:51:34 | 2022-12-18T23:12:02 | 28 | 16 |
[WP] It's another murder case, plain and simple. With Watson out of commission, Holmes heads to the nearby police precinct in search of a temporary partner for the case. Instead, the precinct gives him Detective Jake Peralta | Holmes felt alien in this city, more so than usual. It wasn't the brashness or the smell - London carried those in volumes - but a feeling that perhaps he may be up against something bigger than is customary in his day-to-day, an American.
Lestrade had recommended one Captain Holt if the need arose whilst in New York... | As Holmes entered the 99th precinct he was greeted by a bald African-American man shorter than the avarage whos first impression was obviously giving a firm handshake and maintaining excellent eye contact through the dialogue they had.
"Welcome Mr.Holmes to the 99th precinct. Im Captain Reymond Holt, we were expecting... | 2020-01-20T06:32:51 | 2020-01-20T06:21:47 | 360 | 43 |
[WP] Foreshadow the character's death so subtly that I still don't see it coming even though I requested it. | The cruiser pulled up to the curb in front of a crumbling townhouse that looked like it was only still standing because it was propped up by its neighbors. Broken shards of glass were falling out of the splintered wooden frames, and the red bricks had turned to a dull brown under a layer of soot and filth. This place h... | Lucas focused the scope of his riffle, aimed at the head of no other than the famous Maria Rios.
He smirked. It was lucky day, no doubt. The women’s activist may have been gaining a large following across the world but like most things, enemies came with the territory. Powerful enemies – the kind who would pay nicely ... | 2015-06-03T06:17:27 | 2015-06-03T06:09:40 | 269 | 29 |
[WP] The prophecy says the one to pull the sword from the giant statue will save the world. Many have failed, and now in front of the Assembly you grasp the greatsword firmly and pull - and fall backward when it snaps off cleanly at the hilt | “Thou who removes the Holy Sword from his Majesty’s heart, will forever be blessed with the all mighty’s power.” Lord Ideles swore that to the world when he stabbed the sword through that grand statue in the cities center over one thousand years ago. A millennia of men have tried and failed to claim its power for thems... | Men stood for miles in the warm summer heat, sweat growing on their brows. The air smelled like the Aegean Sea. Birds flew over it, over the greatest colosseum ever built. This was an ominous sign as animals seemed to avoid the massive structure ever since it was built, but not today, no today the birds flew in the tho... | 2022-08-10T11:20:16 | 2022-08-10T09:01:25 | 40 | 18 |
[WP] Armageddon is over, and Heaven won. Satan must now stand trail for each human before the Heavenly Host. You have been chosen as Satan’s court-appointed lawyer, since he couldn’t bring one from Hell. You are The Devil’s Advocate. | "Your honor, my client stands accused of conspiring against the kingdom of heaven to cause the downfall of man."
I glanced around the courtroom nervously. I told myself this wouldn't be any different than one of the many cases I defended in my time as a defense attorney on earth. Getting scum bags off the hook was my ... | Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am here today not just to exonerate my client, Satan. But, in fact to prove his complete and undeniable innocence in my opening statement alone. I ask you to consider but three things before we begin this utter farce of a trial.
First, if God is Omniscient, then he not only knew th... | 2020-05-27T04:44:29 | 2020-05-26T20:38:47 | 34 | 18 |
[WP] While sitting in class during a boring lecture you suddenly hear someone whispering in your ear. You turn around nervously and see that no one was there and none of the other students heard. But your teacher drops her notes and stares at you in shock. | "So you hear them."
That's where my story really starts. I'd always had been the kind of kid who
hated drawing attention to myself, and I was new to the whole "middle school"
thing, so when old Ms. Farris caught my eye and mouthed "later",
I was perfectly content to act like nothing had happened. Until later
came, of ... | "and Odin the ruler of the Aesir was to be devoured by Fenrir" i never pay attention to these stupid lectures on mythology its not like its important it's all just ancient bullshit stories.

[WP] One day everyone is able to discover "their purpose in life". At first yours is widely mocked. Eventually yours becomes the most important one of all. | It became all consuming, to fulfill their "purpose in life." When they had been revealed, everyone was elated. They could stop searching and start doing. Their lives would be fulfilled.
It had been a cruel joke.
Many never achieved their purpose in life. Watching it slip out of reach left them bitter husks. Many die... | **Child of the Goddess**
Some laughed at him, and still others remained indifferent, after all it was just a phase that he would eventually grow out of. Yet he felt it in his every fibre; this was his purpose, this was why he woke up with every new sunrise.
And so he spent every waking moment by her bedside. Her eve... | 2016-09-15T05:10:06 | 2016-09-15T02:00:11 | 71 | 10 |
[WP] Your classmates were gifted with boosted stats, cool abilities and titles like Hero, Limit Break, or Divine Healing. You got two abilities- Fission LVL 1: Break things apart, and Fusion LVL 1: Combine things together. Deemed useless for combat, the Viceroy gave you an allowance and sent you off | There wasn't a title for what I could do, for what I was destined to become. But that would all change in time.
For now, the Viceroy cleared his throat and began granting the four of us titles. First, it was Erik. Captain of the football team, all-American handsome, decent at algebra -- it made sense that he'd be gran... | Ao shambled down the forest path. His modest allowance had run dry long ago. He had been deemed useless until one of his classmates, the damned Hero, had tried being nice and pointing out his capacity for excessive violence. Nobody had believed her, but it did influence the decision to banish Ao.
It had all started wh... | 2022-04-30T14:14:19 | 2022-04-30T12:44:41 | 75 | 39 |
[WP] You have the most useless superpower in a world full of awesome superpowers. You are a laughinstock, that is until you start using your power for evil... no one is laughing now. | I had originally thought my superpower was a bit of a joke. I suppose it still is pretty lame. I can't cause any real destruction with it, but nobody jokes around me anymore. I started exacting vengeance a couple weeks ago on those who had previously bullied me for "not having a power". In truth, I did but it's a very ... | I was powerless. I was disowned by my superhero parents. Everyday I suffered with the bullies giving me the worst wedgies in school.
The day the gift came really made me happy. I immediately folded people in half --- crushing their beloved spines. 70% of the people of the city are now dead.
"Who's useless now?" I sai... | 2017-06-12T07:39:18 | 2017-06-12T06:49:33 | 39 | 15 |
