[WP] America now follows other countries in requiring 1year mandatory service upon turning 18, except it is working retail instead of going to war. A young teen just started his draft where he would have to man the stations on Black Friday. | The grizzled vet looked up at me, his one good eye bloodshot and watery. "I'm sorry kid." He looked over my shoulder now, remembering a distant place that still burned fresh in his mind. "You've pulled the BF-WM."
I looked at him, confused. "BF-WM? What's that?"

[WP] Genies don't actually mean to twist people's wishes. They just speak Arabic and have to rely on magical translation to interpret wishes in other languages. | The young man's eyes widened as the Genie escaped the lamp he had just rubbed, slowly filling the room like a cloud of blue mist before manifesting himself into a more human form; though still distinctly magical on account of his blue skin and floating a few feet in the air.

[WP] Take a normally boring activity, but make it sound exciting. | I gently touched the door, wishing to feel the warmth of a living soul behind it.

[WP] On a long straight road with nothing of note, there is a four-way traffic light that hangs in the middle. No road crosses anywhere near the traffic light and no sign to tell you why it's there, but it seems to always be green, so no one cared. That's until the day it changed to yellow. | The roar of the engine in the dark, quiet night was Sarah's favourite sound.

[WP] You are a hero that can manipulate darkness and shadow, able to make it solid and shape it into many forms. As you are cornered by Villains, trapped within a room made to trap you, with no shadow around, you tell them something that makes them stare at you in horror. "Human insides are dark" | "You know your innards are wrapped completely in shadows, right?" I look at the 4-man team trying to back me into a corner of the best-lit room I have ever seen.

[WP] In a galaxy that is quite xenophobic and isolationist humanity is the odd one out. We generally like aliens and want to get along. When they turned us down, we redoubled our efforts. Now our fleet is orbiting the alien's home world. We may no longer come in peace, but they will be our friends. | Supreme Warmaster Lzurg looked up; his three eyes boggling in awe and terror. The night sky was filled not with the familiar stars of his youth. The Human armada hung over the planet with finality, like a death sentence.
His adjunct, Undersquad Commander Hrug, thrummed his gelatinous thorax to grab Lzurg’s attention... | "The fleet is in position, sir."

Your friend has a desperate look in their eyes "Can you help me or not?" | I let out another exasperated sigh as I rubbed my temples.

[WP] Small domestic house dragons have become the norm. Here is a guide on how to deal with the hoarding instinct of your little one. | Keep in mind, it's important that dragons be encouraged to hoard. It is how they feel true happiness. The two most important things for a dragon are human contact and hoarding. And the contact is just to keep them acclimated to humans.
Now, you may be wondering, *"What do I do when they steal my stuff?"* It's simple. ... | Problem with your little buddy’s hoard?

One day, the package arrives to your house. | Please. Please this can't be happening to me.
What was supposed to be the happiest day of my life had become every parent's worst nightmare. I was finally able to bring my baby boy home after 6 weeks in the NICU. It was touch and go there for a while, but he'd finally been cleared to come home.

[WP] You've noticed that unlike the rest of your companions, the elves you're travelling with have never excused themselves to answer nature's call, even though they eat and drink just as often as you do. When you work up the courage to ask the elves about this, their explanation astounds you. | It was during a lunch break, in the middle of a trek, that the thought occurred to me.

I groan. As if the pain wasn't bad enough, now I'm stuck with her arrogance. Excuse me, "her excellence" is what she prefers.
"They reported you dead, you know. Going to be hard to come back from that."
I didn't have ... | I didn’t blame you for leaving me.
How could I? You were scared, and vulnerable, and had just watched her overtake me, watched her rip into the body of your friend. What hope is there after that? You had to leave.

[WP] Instead of being a super villain like your parents, you ended up joining a company. Now your wildly successful and quite frankly much more closer to world domination than your parents. Your parents can't handle it. | It was always the same thing every time.
Parents come up with outlandish and unrealistic scheme for world domination, spend more money than they should to implement it, get found out by heroes, and fight in a climactic battle.

Killian didn't even know *how* to play chess. He was just hoping that Death didn't either.

[WP] The spell of the fae forced you to tell them your name. The fae looks at you with pure horror, while you look at them confused, because that was definitely not your name. | I repeatedly told the fae that she would know who I am if she just did a little research or even tried looking me up on Wikipedia.

Your friend has a desperate look in their eyes "Can you help me or not?" | ""Can I help you?" Did you seriously just..." I sighed. I guess it made sense he'd come to me.
