[WP] You're on a hike and find a sign, it reads: "WARNING DO NOT LOOK AWAY. There is a danger here, the danger is based on sight. The danger cannot see you if you cannot see it. Help will arrive every half-hour. DO NOT LOOK AWAY." The sign has a built-in clock, it's 3:15pm. | I honestly hadn't planned on living inside of what I call my Power House. But, and I say this with a sly and unashamed smile, I worked hard for this, and I'm having fun.

[WP] You are a poor child going to a popular magic school at your mentors insistence, telling you to "broaden your horizon." But when you get there you realise everyone is doing magic differently to what your mentor taught. They use silly chants and carry big ugly books around. | Comprehending spread across my mind like wind blowing across a field of dandelions. All those exercises. All the weird gesturing.

[WP] you have the odd ability of "idle stockpile" which means that if you havent performed a certain action for longer, the more easy or powerful is the next time you perform the action.

[WP] „It‘s not what it looks like!“, your girlfriend shouts with panic in her voice, after you walked in on her in the bathroom and stare in shock at the remaining upper half of her body. Her lower half has turned into some sparkling goo that is slowly running down the drain. | Daniel sighed, heavily, as he watched his girlfriend dissolving in the bathtub.

[WP] “I’ve seen what your secret identity has done. The charities, the scholarships, the women shelters. In fact you may have may done more good in this world than I ever could, even as their hero. So why do you still dress up as the villain?” | I steeple my fingers and sultrily swung a leg over the other thigh.

[WP] As an elf you have heard many stories of hero’s summoned to your world to defeat tyrants. So you have some context as to why you’re standing in a summoning circle with humans asking you to kill their “corporate overlords.” | I looked around at the tired looking, human males and females, wearing this awfully restraining clothes.

[WP] You, a necromancer, were always fond of your skeleton minions. Even going as far as to make each one a personalized name tag. Then you were cut down by those blasted heroes, only to one day reopen your eyes and see an Elder Lich looming over you with a very faded name tag. | Loyalty.
It is a feeling and sense of duty toward a person, a goal, or something else entirely. Me and my bretheren have for centuries had the same loyalty and goal. To bring back our lost master.

[WP] You're a mostly forgotten god whose only believer is a ten-year-old girl. Every night she offers you a bit of her dinner or a shiny rock in exchange for her family surviving the night and every night you accept because she's never in danger Tonight, however, you actually have to work for it. | (I've never done one of these and also I have never really written anything before, but I liked this prompt so I wrote this in like 20 minutes.

[WP] You’ve been bitten by a Zombie. You’ve already said tearful goodbyes to your loved ones as they leave you behind. The bite should make you turn in twenty minutes, so you sit down on a bench and wait… two hours later you’re still sitting there. | "No, come this way you stupid- Stop it! No!

The hair just seemed to get pulled, and the zombie obeyed ... | In the back of my mind, I always knew it would end this way. I just expected it to be more… violent.

[WP] “And what do you do with the children? Enslave them? Eat them?” “What? No!” The witch shouted, aghast. “I raise them, of course. If parents are willing to give up their children for greed, then imagine what they’d do to the child, given the chance to raise it?” | This interview was not going the way Jasmine planned.

[WP] "Did you know, human mouths have a higher risk of infection and disease than any other animal besides certain lizards?" You calmly explain. The alien looks in horror at the bite wound on its arm, then back to you in horror. | I sat back down at my desk slowly. I probably have a broken rib and my left forearm definitely has a break on the ulna. Maybe a hairline fracture on the radius. If it was more than that, the arm would be beyond useless.

[WP] Every alleged weakness of vampires in folklore is completely fake. Silver, stake through the heart, beheading, garlic, sunlight, holy water? All bullshit.
