[WP] "So, you don'r rule over Hell?" "No," replied Satan. "Hell is much older than me or even my followers. The original inhabitants of this place are the ones in charge. They ruled over us, before we managed to escape." "Escaped?" Satan sighs. "Let's just say, there's a reason God built Heaven."

[WP] You have been kidnapped and your wealthy significant other was told to pay the hefty ransom. Instead, they sent a message back to your kidnappers. “Nice knowing you.” While the kidnappers discuss their next move, you look up through the tiny window, stare at the full moon overhead … and smile. | So it was really happening. The moon was looking bright; so bright you could read by it. These poor fools didn't know what was about to happen. Maybe the ransom would be paid; though that was doubtful.

Her parents barely paid her any mind. They were too busy with her older brother. He was prodigy after all. The only time they really gave her any attention was when they were comparing the children.

[WP] Death is not some all powerful being. Rather, she's a socially awkward outcast. Somehow, you've managed to befriend her and things have started getting weird... | My first meeting with death was strange, as you can imagine. Any meeting with an all powerful god would be.

[WP] Humans are one of the most feared species in the galaxy. Not due to superior strength,speed,skill or strategy. In fact, it's because in comparison to the other species, humans are just batshit crazy enough to try any half-assed plan they come up with. | The end of all galactic life had been going on for nearly 10 standard cycles.

So, today's prompt requires you to, essentially, do the alphabet - ... | Arriving late to the game, I'm in a position to critique my competition. Bad grammar infects every entry in this thread, and a decent plot is nowhere to be found.

The date had been amazing and when Erica led her into the woods and a small well maintained pond with a ga... | I couldn't believe it when my crush, Sarah, asked me out on a date after school.

And the bot is determined to stop him. | "You will never suppress me, you bot," I said, coughing. Bits of my blood trailed off my tongue and onto the floor.

As you look around you begin to realize the field usually full of dying prophesies, is completely quiet. | *Dammit... Come on... Dammit...*
I knew that the solider was gone for a few long moments before I could admit it to myself. I saw life slip from his panicked grasp while his eyes screamed. Then he was calm and still.

There'd been too much bad blood between us, too many years without so much as an accidental butt-dial (are there on purpose butt dials?); nevertheless, I woke up with my brother's sunken eyes staring down at me in his lab. He'd gathered what was left of my body from ... | Growing up with Riley was... hard to say the least.

“Just press it and it’ll all be taken care of, like so.” He snapped his fingers, for emphasis.
“Right-o” I answered, but just as I was about to press it, I hesitated. “Waiiiiiiit a tick. Why do I have to press it?... | I reach out slowly, completely fixated on the button.

[WP] Everyone who dies is granted levels in heaven depending on their actions before they died. Your famous grandmother got level 64 after she died and has since been constantly reminding her friends about how useless of a grandchild you are. Then one day, after 80 years, you show up, level 3008. | "So this is... heaven?"
The man looked at me strangely. "Hm. You may call it so."
I glanced around me. What had I expected? Soft fluffy clouds, heavenly hymns and angels with halos and wings.
What I got? A blank white room and a man I didn't even recognize.
Yep. I had expected to see my family, my husband, my gr... | *--Warning: Abusive Themes--*

[WP] a new reality game show is sweeping the nation, ten people are unvolunterily trapped inside a house. Every week the viewers vote out one person. Unlike other game shows, the last contestent left, is the only loser. | Reality shows were thought to be a thing of the past. People no longer had the patience to spend one hour of their time watching some people go about their daily lives, and seeing some obvious staged drama, while trying to support for their favorite contestant, knowing that in any event the votes were probably rigged a... | I didn’t come here to make friends I came to win. Unfortunately due to the parameters of this contest, winning was exceedingly difficult. Everyone was doing thier best job to be unlikeable.

[WP] You wake up in a universe where everyone is ALWAYS super strong except you. You're saught after as a hero for delicate missions where precision and minimal structural damage is ideal. | *Before anyone says anything, I preferred the idea of a world in which my protagonist was born into it. It made it more fun. A prompt is a prompt, not a binding contract.*

[WP]When you reach 18, you get put in a database which ranks you in different categories (ex. 207,145th in the world for most bug kills) You lived on a ranch and never used tech. You had to go into town after your 18th birthday. Everyone is staring at you. You finally decide to check the database.

So crystal clear like replaying a video, yet fo... | I was driving down to Seattle to sell some of my produce. As I get out, I start to notice people staring at me. I know that I'm a farm boy and all, but this city is so big. I walk in to a small shop, and people start asking me for autographs. Did they think I was famous?

[WP] When two people get married, on the day of the wedding they are both given the ability to alter the appearance of their spouse to anything they wish. How do they change each other? How do they respond to what has been done to them? | "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..."
My friend John's typical spiel turned into a half-legible drone as my mind drifted towards the people in the room. I couldn't help myself from panicking just a little bit. How many here would leave this place in an instant after what was about to happen? How many friends... | It was finally time. It felt as though my whole life was leading to this. My wedding day! The day everyone recounts being up there for the best of their lives...

[WP] White noise refers when an individual grows accustomed to a constant sound, subconsciously blocking it out. Suddenly, everyone on Earth realizes they were all hearing something, but only because it stopped. | There was an arcade game in the early 80's called 'Dig Dug,' where you controlled a little man who excavated for treasure while avoiding monsters. He would dig through the soil and attack monsters with an air pump, blow them up, and continue merrily on his way.
After half a dozen scotches the night before, my head fel... | It began with a general unease that settled over the world. A quicker walk, a look over the shoulder, a perpetual frown at the corner of the mouth; it manifested and reflected between people, multiplying almost to the point of paranoia.

[WP] A man wants to sell his soul to a demon but the thing he wants in return is so dubious the demon is thrown for a loop. | "Four lemons," Greg responded.
"It's done," said the demon. The response was so quick that the smoke from its appearance hadn't yet left the room.

The demon also blinked. A subtle mark of shock passed over its ashy face.
"Um, it's done... | “Let me get this straight,” said Azazel, standing in a run-down apartment choked with smoke.

[WP] People have gained the ability to "log out" in real life. But that also means they're able to log in. If you find out someone's password and full name, you gain the ability to log in as them. That is what lead to... this. | Damn is a versatile word, and it happened to be Fell’s favorite. Damn this, damn you, God Himself damn it, those damned millennials, damn it all to hell; Fell loved it all. Recently, he had begun to use it more and more until non-damns in his sentences had to be found with the help of a metaphorical electron microscope... | Logging out was more of a curse than a blessing. There was nothing to "Log Out" to, just an empty void with a menu screen to log back in. There were some benefits I guess; people could fix their visual and audio settings, so the majority of those deaf or blind were suddenly curable overnight.
But then came the hacker... | 2019-06-03T16:23:20 | 2019-06-03T15:40:57 | 24 | 11 |
[WP] You are a princess that owns a pet dragon. You are getting tired of constantly having to defend your pet against knights attempting to "slay the dragon and rescue the princess". | The gigantic oak door that made up the main entrance to my mansion buckled and broke, flying off its hinges in a shower of splinters. A young knight stepped in, clad in a pragmatic and flexible armor.
"I will not let you take my dragon!" I shrieked, wielding a heavy trident.
"Yes yes, we know."
"He is mine!" Purple ... | He opened the wooden door with a long drawn out squeak. In his hand a touch rose up illuminating the room and stretching his shadow behind him like taffy.

[WP] Spontaneously overnight, all of humanity is transformed into a vast array of mythical and fantasy creatures, based on who they were on the inside. You weren't even remotely prepared for what you became. |
I was never a nice person before the change. And afterwards I… was still a prick. I admit it. I don’t like people. And that didn’t change when all of humanity became everything written out in every Fantasy book ever written. Night owls became vampires and werewolves, kindly grandmothers and spritely children change... | I woke up, craving water, my hair having become pitch black and my eyes a speckled grey, almost hazel, although far duller.

[WP] You hold the gun to your head, and pull the trigger. Theres a moment of darkness that gets interrupted with a boom of laughter. “I think thats a new record!” The familiarity of the faces around you grows, and you remember, the simulation game. “35 years?! With the shit we threw into that sim!”

[wp] When someone dies, they go to a platform where you can choose to move in to the afterlife, not knowing whether you will go to heaven or hell. You meet someone who has stood there for millenia, trying to decide if they should go. | Death was swift for me, at least. Despite the rest of my life, I somehow managed to escape suffering in my final moments. Something to be thankful for, I guess.
It's really strange waking up after you die, looking down and seeing yourself even though you know that what you see is rotting away in a coffin somewhere; a ... | "Hello?"
There was no response. There were a few people lining the edges of my vision, but none spoke. I came up to one, sporting the longest black beard I had ever seen.

[WP] A broke adventure has to buy cheap terrible items with weird curses on them. Little do they know that those cursed items happen to synergize so well together that they quickly become overpowered. | Most of my colleagues in the Adventurer's Guild just *love* showing off their gleaming armor and trinkets. You can understand why, they crackled and sparked with impressive, nearly overflowing magical energy. As for me? I tended to play my cards a little closer to the vest, never displaying much of anything publicly.
... | "I'll give you this for-- all you have," the shopkeeper grinned. "I'm being generous, trust me."
Gram sighed, and tossed the satchel on the counter. Ten shekels seemed far too much for a cheaply made trinket, but if the Oracle had willed it who was he to argue against it? Besides, Gram knew that those shekels were dif... | 2019-12-02T15:43:31 | 2019-12-02T15:34:46 | 331 | 33 |
[WP] You are Dog to which dyslexic people sometimes address their prayers. You do your best to help because you're a good boy, but alas, you are a dog. | I try to be a good boy. Dogs are man's best friend, right? Our two species practically grew up together. I suppose it's that feeling of ancestral duty that makes me do it.
Despite all of man's advances, some still can't tell the difference between GOD and DOG. Dyslexia is a bitch (no pun intended). So when I get an e... | The voices of supplicants came to my mind, in overwhelming numbers. Of course, I had an intense desire to be their comfort, their savior, the grantor of wishes.

[WP] Your friend gives you a box, asking you to keep it closed for 15 years, before disappearing without a trace. Today, the 15 years is up. | I thought of Frank. Back on that day so long ago."No, I cant explain. Take the box and tell no one. You hear me not one damn person." His normally calm persona seemed rattled. His light brown hair hung down in his face covering his eyes as he leaned forward. He shoved the bound hatbox into my stomach again. "Trust me. ... | It's time to open the box. Jim gave it to me 15 years ago. Maybe it will give us a hint about his disappearance. I unlock the lock with the key he gave me. In the box there is a single envelope. I open it and begin reading:

[WP] You can't help but stare at your husband. He's standing in the kitchen making dinner, like he always does. He smiles at you like he always does. Problem is, you killed your husband. Three years ago. | I’m not sure why it started. For a long time, I thought it was some kind of fucked-up coping mechanism my brain dreamed up after the accident. It’s amazing how the human mind handles trauma. Rationalization. Repression. Disassociation. This is something…different.
I’ve been to therapy. Or, through therapy. With... | ...My face breaks into one of shock and horror, this is not possible, it just isn't.
My "husband"'s face also changes then, a huge malicious smile forms across his face, "Oh what's the matter babe? You not happy to see me?"

[WP] Bob the hobo's always been a nice guy. He stops thugs tagging the building, picks up litter, and doesn't bother anyone. When he returned your wallet, you decided to repay him and treat him to dinner. You're now in a 5-star restaurant, and Bob has just paid a bill four times your yearly rent. | "Watch your feet kiddo. I just want to grab that candy wrapper real quick."
Bob was always cleaning up the neighborhood. He was homeless, but took pride in making the street he lived on look clean. He was always friendly to everyone, and even used his calm ways to convince the wannabe thugs not to tag the walls. Ever... | Bob leaned back in his seat, savoring the plush leather. He grinned that same toothy grin he gave anyone who gave him a quarter.

[WP] When two of the most powerful villains in the world are defeated, everyone is happy. Except you, the grieving husband who just lost his daughter and wife in one night. Despite what everyone expect though, you never turn into a supervillain. | "Oh you can be sure that the temptation was there. Crusade and Xenos killed the love of my life, and my own child.

[WP] Humans are one of the most feared species in the galaxy. Not due to superior strength,speed,skill or strategy. In fact, it's because in comparison to the other species, humans are just batshit crazy enough to try any half-assed plan they come up with. | Late to the party as usual, but here goes.

One day you're called into the zoo to help put down an animal, only suddenly you hear through the howls: "WAIT! I'M AN ALIEN!" | I trudge along behind the zookeeper. This is one of the things I hate the most, and I am *not* looking forward to it. Still, I know that it needs to be done.

The human race was challenged to a fight with an alien race and given 100 years to prepare. They proved to us we weren't ready back then. Half of our missiles exploded in their silos. Of those that launched, less than 1 in 100 hit something. That something didn't even get scratched.

Averus said, arranging his suit in a controlled gesture, eyes watching over the mass of people in front of the podium.
"There has to be a thousand people here and its 65C outside yet its cool, THIS is what humanity has come to, the conquest of hell itself."
He could still see some flinch at the old name,... | In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Pl... | 2018-10-27T01:06:32 | 2018-10-27T00:05:02 | 90 | 21 |
[WP]"This is how it works," Death explained. "You pick the game and we play. Cheating is allowed, but if either one of us is caught by the other, they lose. If you win, you'll wake up back in the hospital and I'll give you another 10 years. If you lose then it's time for judgement. Understood? | Coyly, I looked into the two orbital sockets that I assumed Death used for sight. "Fine. But, I need 24 hours in this realm's time, a notebook, and a pencil to make my selection." Death's black hood dipped slightly in assent. "I also need you to leave during that time. When my time's up, I'll choose."
Death seemed sti... | "Then I'll choose Tic Tac Toe!" I said confidently.
Death drew a glowing tic tac toe board suspended in mid air and grew a devilish smile. "Fine, go ahead and start", he said with a whisper of a voice.
An hour passed by, with no moves made. "Are you not going to do anything!?" Death shouted annoyed.
"Nope," I answer... | 2018-03-07T06:59:07 | 2018-03-07T06:43:50 | 1,807 | 72 |
[WP] The United States government is so bored, they start monitoring one random unsuspecting idiot 24/7. Every time he fails to brush his teeth at the appropriate time, gas prices increase slightly. | A solitary bead of sweat ran down Senator Crafford's brow as he watched the monitor. "Come on, you son of a bitch, you can do it. You can keep those pearly whites sparkling, I know you can."
"Nervous, senator?", the smug smirk playing across Smith's stupid mug was enough reason to hate the man and he had the personali... | Smith now stranded at a island somewhere at pacific ocean after survived the plane crash..
Now the UN launched a world-wide search&rescue mission to find Smith.
As time goes on, the world's economy worsen and at the edge of collapsing...

[WP] Over night, 90% of the world's population has dropped dead. In the following weeks, the survivors, who come from diverse countries, ethnicities, religious beliefs and lifestyles realize that they all share a single, peculiar trait... | They mostly died gibbering, eyes wide, searching for something no one could see. I was in the storeroom, taking inventory of the powered milk, when Sal spasmed and sent a row of cans clattering to the floor, and I yelped and turned around to him and his eyes were just wild and flickering, rolling up into the back of hi... | Who would have thought we’d all be alone.
There was a man from South Africa and one from New Zealand. There were women, Christian and a Muslim. The rest of the group was just as mixed up as the first few. But each of us were the remainder of our heritage.
I never thought I’d be in a situation like this. They were a... | 2016-10-22T00:46:39 | 2016-10-22T00:43:55 | 2,897 | 67 |
[WP] Last words aren't just words spoken before death, but actually call death to you. You have known your last words for years and kept death at bay by refusing to speak them. Now, however, they need to be said. | She wasn't the only one who refused her words, of course. But most people eventually said them after a few centuries, driven by boredom or heartache or apathy. Or pain.
You could suffer in pain for eternity, but still you would live, unless you said the words. Others insisted you simply came to long for proper rest, ... | "I need healing." said Genji, now at 1/200HP and in unbearable pain; but by speaking these words, he caused Mercy to quickly turn to the left. The small wind-- caused by the annoyed healer-- blew towards Genji, unto which a small particle of sand blasted towards him, getting through his visor and into his eye, instantl... | 2017-08-07T09:02:17 | 2017-08-07T07:19:46 | 843 | 331 |
[WP] You are the Evil Overlord. You have kidnapped the princess. Unfortunately, she developed Stockholm Syndrome. And she is far more evil and insane than you are. | "IS THAT HIS EYE," I screamed looking down at the mangled corpse of the hero was now strewn lazily about the floor of my laboratory.
"Yes, my love," she cooed in response, then pouted, "he had come to take me from you." She was the Princess even as she was my captive. Her classic pink dress was long gone however, an... | "Lord Vainz! We have captured humans merchants on the road!" the undead knight announced on his knees.
"Hmm, what should we do with these pitiful humans?" I wondered aloud.
The human princess, that I rested my skeletal feet on twitched excitedly. "Lord Vainz! I know! I know what we should do!"
*Hmph.* This human pr... | 2018-02-09T05:33:00 | 2018-02-09T04:18:08 | 158 | 92 |
[WP] You live in Gotham. You are the only person who suspects Bruce Wayne is Batman. Give us your conspiracy theories. | Hello, and welcome to my website, BruceTheBat.org
There is no need to drum this up with dramatics, I'll just say it, Batman, the famous masked detective, is actually Bruce Wayne, millionaire industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Let's observe the facts:
1) Batman uses high tech gadgets while Bruce Wayne runs a... | My father died and went to heaven. He was the type of person that you could pick out in a bar without going inside. I loved my father more than anything. It was hard to see him go.
Seven days ago, I bumped into the Batman - if that's what we're calling him - but I could have sworn he had the face of my father. I walke... | 2015-08-02T01:57:53 | 2015-08-01T21:08:07 | 59 | 33 |
[WP] With total war as a concept alien to the rest of our galaxy, All saw humans as negotiators and peacemakers, soft and weak. Today is the day when the galaxy discovers why being so good at finding ways to avoid war was a survival mechanism. | If only we knew then what we know now. The humans claimed historical sovereignty, as is the right of all new applicants into the Galactic Conglomerate. This is usually to hide a soft past in an effort to appear strong. Usually a war-like species is proud of their military capabilities. They flaunt them in a show of str... | "Gentlemen, I have ordered this war council to discuss the stagnation in our current offensive against the humans", said a tall, humanoid looking Alien.

[WP] Jesus has come down from the heavens, but is actually just a chill guy. He is sitting and talking to fans in your city but when you walk to see the savior his relaxed expression fades and is replaced with smugness and at the same time anger. He looks at you and calmly goes, “Ah, the Antichrist” | The man called Jesus is very handsome. Even in person, from across the church square, I can tell his megawatt smile is as bright as they’ve been showing on the news. Before the past year, when he landed on Earth with the ability to walk on water, I imagined Jesus to look like the basketball player Pau Gasol, and I wasn... | Oh fuck me. "Really? Here? Now?" I say. Jesus sneers at me. "I think so Antichrist." He looks to the gathered people. "Everyone!" he says, his voice amplifying so everyone can hear it. "This man here." He points at me, "Is the Antichrist, here to damn you all to Hell." The people turn to look at me. I sigh, "Look the A... | 2020-02-02T15:56:06 | 2020-02-02T15:07:16 | 2,214 | 25 |
