kpqerd3 | kppv51s | [WP] You live in a society where time travellers send packages to the homes of children who will one day become horrific criminals, containing advice on how to properly parent this child and a blade for more… extreme measures if the child resists. 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.
I never had the best r... | End the cycle.
That's what the note said. That's all it said.
Everyone knew what a package from a time traveler meant. It was hard to believe that my son could become a monster. He was always a troublemaker, but I never imagined him capable of this.
I looked down at the blade that also arrived. I had thought about ... |

The dim emergency lighting cast strange shadows across her features.

It was neat, and ordered.
There were 30 priestesses and 10 priests, it was a nice number.
They ritualistically chanted, and when they saw me looking at me, one of them stepped forward smiling.
I had great hopes, since her clothes were really tidy... |

Said they needed something spicy for their meal" | Capt. Lussiz was finally able to relax. Get a little thinking done. Maybe finally get around to updating the Captain's log. He had not done that in cycles. And he had a lot to report. Those new crew members were some of the most useful individuals he had ever seen, but they were also some of the most aggravating beings... | I wouldn’t be surprised if this is illegal, but I’ve had enough of this sobriety shit.

jhdlcdz | jhcht08 | [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.

Littlefinger, our halfling rogue, suddenly looked up with an expressio... | "You know little of our kind, human," Erisha said sternly.

To your surprise you awoke in a bed, with your wounds tended to and the villain sitting at your bedside. | "And here I thought I was the bad girl. Even I don't leave my people behind" she said with a smirk.
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. You had to save yourselves. You matter, as you are, and you matter enough to live. Even if it meant I did... |

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.
Cliche, tasteless, predictable, *boring*.
Honestly, the only variation in the whole cycle ... | "Hey, Dmitri, we're gonna hit up the Cigar bar tonight after work. You down?", a colleague asked.

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

But it's not for the worst: it's for good souls so utterly convinced they're hellbound, so they can 'repent' and accept they are indeed good people. | Dave found himself standing at the entrance of a quiet movie theater. Though dimly lit, he could make out the red carpets and walls of… an AMC, maybe? He *was* dead, right? I guess ticket prices really were killer.
He sighed, glad he hadn’t said that one aloud.

He's getting worse. He barely heard me as I entered the cave. Usually he could hear me when I was at the foot of the mountain, thousands of feet down. I told him as much, but he scoffed at me and told me he rolled into a rock, so it was lodged into his ear. A feeble excuse if I ever hear... | Hurrying into the hall, I saw him. His iridescent scales had dulled and he seemed smaller somehow. Although when I had last seen him but a month ago just after he was taken ill, I could tell that he had worsened.
