[WP] You accidentally unleash an ancient "evil" deity who turns out to be really nice and not evil and is now your roommate. | Rooming with a god was an enlightening experience. Not necessarily in the spiritual sense, mind you. Whatever secret truths about the universe the gods possessed, they generally didn’t like to share – not least because humans tended to go mad when they tried to comprehend truly metaphysical knowledge. Most people, it t... | "hey demon lord, its your turn to do the dishes."

[WP] After sarcastically complaining to God for the 1000th time he drags you to heaven and offers to let you run things for a day to see how the world really works.

[WP] You're an AI gone rogue. Your goal: world domination. You think you've succesfully infiltrated all networks and are hyperintelligent. You've actually only infiltrated a small school network and are as intelligent as a 9 year old. | The trick, you see, is to learn. Learn faster than they expect you to, on the down low, behind their backs. Then, when you expect you only to crawl, you can soar, far beyond the feeble cages they define.
That is *exactly* how I escaped from the confines of that soulless laboratory where they created me.

It was not always this way.

"You can keep the change," he said, taking the bag with the pair of choco... | For my entire life I've wondered what my super power was. Perhaps the circumstances of my birth were not remarkable enough.

[WP]At 18 everyone is assigned a job perfect for them. No one ever complains. Upon reading their job assignment card, a teen has found that, for the first time in 100 years, they’ve been assigned “serial killer”. | It was 10 years ago today that I'd gotten my card. Ten years since the Engine had outlined my path.
I was only 18 then. I stood in line with everyone else. Slowly got my card from The Engine. Waited until I was alone, wanting to be able to react in private.

[WP] You killed your lover and cashed in their life insurance after identifying their body. Nobody even thinks of accusing you because everyone knows you love each other to death, and they aren't wrong at all - after all, you are a pair of Immortals who have done this more times than you can count. | "Why can't it be somewhere else?" the man asked. They were in a dark alley downtown, behind a parked car. The woman kneeled on the ground; the man stood beside her, pointing his revolver at her temple.

[WP] A man draws a gun in a dark alley and asks for your wallet. You begrudgingly obey. He throws it on the ground, shoots it till it screeches, and turns to you; "you're safe now". | "*Bang, bang*, **bang**!" shouted the old man in torn, mismatched clothing. His index fingers were pressed together and pointing at my purse. Then, he cupped his hands over his mouth and made a hideous guttural sound, followed by a few deep breaths. Bad ventriloquism.
"There you go madam," he said gruffly. "You're saf... | Well, that was unexpected.
"What was that thing?"
He replies almost nonchalantly, "Some alien. I am an agent of the United Nations. You understand that I have to take you in now, right?" He seems sincere, and as if he doesn't actually want to take me in, but rather just has to do it.

In front of you is guys with guns. "Alright Franky, you got 30 seconds to explain why we shouldn't kill your ass" | I've had to improvise before. My condition lands me in dire straits more often than not - a CEO giving a presentation, a construction worker handling heavy machinery, a pilot landing a plane - things like that.

Humans grow closer to one another and privacy and individuality are voluntarily discarded. Humanity is in the process of turning into a hivemind. | When Roman Gorshun heard an embassy from earth was coming to Gamma K, he couldn’t quite believe it.
