[WP] You instinctively know everyone's name the second you meet them. One day you thank someone at the supermarket for helping you, and they stare at you wide eyed. "Nobody has called me by that name in centuries" | The cigarette lit up the darkness, an intruder against the suffocating atmosphere.

[WP] Everyone in the world is able to choose exactly one superpower. The catch: the more people select a certain power, the weaker it becomes.
Example: if many people choose telekinesis, they'll only be able to move small, light objects. If many people choose time travel, they'll only be able to go back a few seconds. | Creativity. Creativity is key.

[WP] A superhero in a skintight and revealing costume is facing off with a rather old fashioned and classy villain. The baddie in question is more bothered by the hero's shameless clothing rather than the foiled plans. | From beneath the comforting fabric of her black robe, Nocturne sighed. This had to be her third museum heist this year already, and it's not like there were that many museums to pick from. At this rate, she'd have to start stealing from the Musical Instrument Museum or the History of Dairy Museum soon.

[WP] It's 3 AM. An official phone alert wakes you up. It says "DO NOT LOOK AT THE MOON". You have hundreds of notifications. Hundreds of random numbers are sending "It's a beautiful night tonight. Look outside." | That alarm. That damn alarm that everyone hates. So loud, blaring with such urgency that rouses anyone from their sleep. "God what, what is it now?" Isaiah questioned. The amber alert sound was still unending, and as he turned to unlock the phone and silence it, he was met with the brightness of the sun in the palm of ... | I wake up. It's still dark.
Some dogs howl while others bark.
I get up, go to pee.
Get back to bed, ready to be-
-sleeping for the next few hours.
For I can't stay awake, I have no power.
But then my phone rings, Ah a notification.

[WP] Mankind lost the war. In the final seconds before his execution, the last human looks up with a smile and says "We left you a present." | We are the Quadjin. When we rose from the ashes of the last Great War, we swore never to allow another threat to rise again. The Great War was an excruciating wound that would never heal. It shaped our culture, and directed the course of our history. We expunged all weakness from our ranks. Compassion and mercy were de... | This was it. This was the absolute grand daddy of all.

[WP] After waking up in your home at 3:54am to a warning, you do what it specifically tells you not too.
The warning reads:
*Please remain in your homes, if you are not at home, find shelter immediately. Close all blinds and shades, block out all windows.*
*Do not look outside.*
*Do not look at the sky.*
*Do not m... | Last night, my partner shook me awake. She stood at the side of the bed, fully clothed, her face wearing an expression of determination or panic - it was hard to tell. I groggily asked her what was wrong, and she merely turned on the television. A frazzled newsman on CNN repeating the warning -

"What the hell is going on?" I muttered as I sheepishly got off my bed, "C'mon, don't these people know what time it is?"

[WP] God and Lucifer were never creator and angel, they were brother and sister. Everything, from Creation 'til now, has been a spat between siblings. Finally, Mother gets home from buying milk and discovers what's been going on... | "Alright, I'm hom- what the fuck did you two do the universe!"
**"It was Her/His Fault!"** The twins shouted in unison. She sighed, setting her grocieries down on the floor, rubbing her cheeks with her hands, rolling her eyes up at the sky.
"Alright." The Mother said, picking the bags back up and lugging them into th... | The milk run had only lasted maybe an hour. The twins had wanted milk to mix with their icecream, and who was I to tell them no, they where my children of course, and they had been extremely well behaved as of late.

[WP] When people turn 18, they gain the power to summon 1 random thing in the world to their hand, as Thor does to Mjolnir. Summoned people are considered soulmates, and objects as important parts of one's life. When you summon yours, it takes some time, but people are horrified when it arrives... | This special day.

My childhood was hell. My mother, an abusive drunk, my father, absent, my aunt... the less said about her, the better. I've been screamed at, whipped, forced into cages, beaten, helpless, hopeless. My mother liked to summon her beer can into the side of my head.

Cecil had a bad ... | You killed Greg. Greg is annoying. Worst of all, he thinks that he's your friend, so he never shuts up. So you decided to kill him. It went surprisingly well for a first time. You were nervous, but the gunshot was clean, the blood was cleaned up, and the body was disposed of. It was the perfect crime.

A problem has arisen, and the entire Council is called together... | "This new... knowledge... changes nothing." Said Time, clearly undaunted. But he was the only one who, truly, could not be affected. The rest of the council began to stir in their seats at the implications presented to them.

[WP] There's an unwritten rule among the supervillains: Never go after the loved ones of the superheroes. The new villain is about to find out why. | "Yes, these will do real nice." Vesson peered at the handful of crystals through the jeweler's loupe. "Good color, nice points. Yes, these are exactly what I need."
"Good, good. I'm glad you like them." Stormgod said coolly to the man dressed in what appeared to be a flat black suit and turtleneck.

"Nothing."
"Who is that?" Cryos turned his nose at the smell. The body reeked of age and guts. "I can't tell."
Ziled smiled. "That's the point."
Cryos buried his head in his hands. "I'm so fucked."

[WP] Personify the seven deadly sins in a story where Hope dies.
Wow, I didn't expect so many awesome responses! If I could high-five each and every one of you I would, with gusto! | “I **knew** I was the favourite.” A man in his forties, balding and growing round, stood beside the casket of his mother. He was one of the first to stand up and pay his respects to the woman who had raised him. But it was not her caring nature that was his current focus. The dearly departed had bequeathed to him a lar... | "Someone needs to go," whined Lust "or they are going to get rid of us all."
