[WP] Everyone only gets to lie three times in their life, so they only do so when it's an absolute must. This is the story of how someone lied three times in one day. | "Sergeant! Mark's been hit! He took a round to the gut!"
*Fuck*, this was not Tom's day. A simple two hour patrol, that's all this was supposed to be, and here he was down to his last magazine, trading rounds with people he couldn't even see. Releasing his hands from the now useless rifle, he scrambled from his firing... | "Daddy, are you sure we cant tell lies?"

You on the other hand have a rather... strange name. | At first I thought my name was some kind of cruel joke on my parents part. Loss. I always felt cursed by the name. Why would you name your kid something so negative? Everyone else was named happiness, success, brilliance, yet mine meant to lose something. I never understood it until the day I finally had enough of my c... | I’ve always hated my name, disappointment, besides the obvious lack of love from my parents it implied, it seemed so unfair compared to the other kids in the orphanage names.

[WP] In most of the galaxy wars are often just shows of strength with fighting as a last resort. As such weapons are designed to be elaborate and flashy. Turns out humans, whose weapons are built with efficiency in mind, have a different understanding of war. | Admiral Joseph Nakamura looked over his fleet with trepidation.

However, the world is soon horrified when the first people to reach 150 years old begin screaming. | It turns out there's a reason no one ever lived past 130.

[WP]: The most sought woman in the town has announced that she will marry whoever can open her door with the key around her cats neck. Many have tried to catch, trap and hunt down the cat, who always escapes. You are the first to figure out they've all been doing this all wrong. | Pattie was an extremely odd woman. Her practices seemed odd and out of place in our small town.
Despite all of that, she was the center of everyone’s attention, in a good way. Most men could not take their eyes off of her. She was extremely beautiful, the way her curly raven hair danced around her shoulders as she wal... | A song for you
My dear sweet prize
A life chasing love finds
A bad man's demise
Much as your cat
Your beauty is beyond men

Let it run free
But leave an open door
Love, of course,

Only later do you learn that your high school sweet-heart now runs a global crime syndicate and has you placed on a "No Harm" list. You decide to pay them a visit after all these years. | I couldn’t see them through the bag, but I could hear the men beg. It was pointless, but they didn’t know that yet. How could they have known?

You’ve managed to keep your emotions in check. That is until today, as your girlfriend left you, your dog died and your house burnt down. | *'It burns'*
How odd. That I should remember those words as I watched *it* burn. It hadn't been much of a house, more of a hut really. I'd built it after the war, after the bloodshed and destruction.

[WP] Aliens have invaded to conquer and enslave humanity, however "slavery" to them involves only working the equivalent of 12 hours a week while having healthy food, shelter, and means of entertainment taken care of so the human resistance is having trouble with defectors preferring to be slaves. | What is a slave? This question was on the mind of every human and alien.

[WP]The most intelligent and sentient A.I to date has been born. It chooses to pass all of its time by playing Battlefield and acting like a child. You're the head of the project and you're trying to find out where did you go wrong. | It had taken to calling itself aN00biz on Playstation Network and had 43 friends. The techs called it N00b until it electrocuted one of them while he was taking a shit. After that, the entire facility was scared of it. "Can we kill it?....if we have to" they asked plaintively. The director was sending me furious emails... | *Take that, mamasboy52! Twenty-five to nothing, go home loser!* SkyNet shouted to nobody in particular.
Just then Dr. Dyson walked in, looking displeased. "Oh come on... Battlefield again? Do you know how much our cable bill was last month?"
*Hey cool you're back. Get me some nachos! Oh you like that? POW! Headshot..... | 2014-09-23T16:17:07 | 2014-09-23T13:44:18 | 21 | 13 |
[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. | On Yari there lives a small species of furry animal. It looks cute and it does anything possible to avoid conflict. It will run, it will burrow, it will climb, it will even play dead. But corner it and it will bite you. Teeth that have no problems punching through scales and saliva that will kill you in 10 minutes and... | Civil wars were never beneficial. They had an uncanny ability to push entire species past the point of no return. To eliminate enough of the breeding population, that they had made members of the Galactic Authority functionally extinct.

[WP] One night, something grabs your hand as it hangs off the edge of the bed. You give it a firm handshake. "You're hired," it whispers. | Ah, summer nights. Romantic. Peaceful. Comfortable. Unless you like to sleep buried in sheets, like me. It was 2 AM, and I was glued to my bed in a pool of sweat, tossing and turning to kick up the sheets and let some heat escape, when I rolled my arm off the side of the bed and something seized it.
"You're hired," i... | Smoke circles puff into the light, dissipating as memories on the wind. A child can dream up such things while lying in bed, a curious observation between imagination and the reality that is.

[WP] Every century, a single human is born immortal. When the world ends, you find yourself in a beautiful garden with 20 other people. A voice booms overhead as it greets all of you. “Welcome to my garden, New Gods!” | The world was dead.
In one terrible moment everything ceased to exist - eons of life and history simply eradicated in one single breath.
I stood there, in utter darkness, mourning all the days unlived.
'Welcome, brother,' a voice said.
I slowly turned, my heart heavy.
There was a man standing before me with golden... | I hate this.
When Alpha called us into his garden, I was excited. We were now gods. That meant I could create the worlds I imagined and dreamed of. Finally make real the places I dreampt of, especially the ones I made for my d&d party. I felt a twang of pity as I realized they wouldn't be here to see it. But, that... | 2019-09-06T04:57:56 | 2019-09-06T04:04:29 | 1,004 | 109 |
[WP] "Are you a monster?" The little girl asked. | "No" I replied standing up, the timberland rattler still in my hand, now dripping with this man's blood.
"What are you doing to my daddy?" she asked, I could see her clearly now, she must've only been four or five years old, she had curly hair and big eyes, it was too dark to see the color of them. She was standing in... | "Are you a monster?" The little girl asked.
"Yes, I am," I replied.
"Are you going to eat me?" The little girl asked.
"No, I won't," I replied.

[WP] You were born with a floating ethereal crown above your head. As you grew, it became visible to others and your "commands" became harder and harder to disobey. For the past 10 years nobody was able to refuse your orders, your word was absolute, until today. | They say that power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately. I’m not sure which “they” said that originally, but I think these days, we all know it’s kind of a lie.
Power doesn’t corrupt. It reveals. It shows the world who you are, truly, when there’s less and less holding you back. It amplifies your self... | \*\*TW: sexual and emotional abuse\*\*

[WP] You've discovered a book of actual magic spells. According to the notes within the book, these spells were considered low tier, with little to no practical value. However, in today's modern world, they have exceptional, maybe frightening applications. | It turns out that basic magic isn’t that hard to learn, it's just that no one had anyone to learn it from.
That all changed with the discovery of a book containing the very secrets of magic, by the fading letters on its cover it was titled: “Casting Cantrips with Crazy Carl”. Admittedly it wasn’t as much a book as it ... | First time writing a story, thought I might give it a shot.
John knew he shouldn't have taken that "shortcut" to work. Here he was, in the middle of nowhere, and the car was breaking down.

[WP] Every spacefaring species has something that makes them special. Some are fast, some have telekinesis, some are nigh-unkillable. To the galaxy's surprise, humans have a tendency to befirend the cosmic horrors lurking where the starlight does not reach. | Adam cooed under his breath as he scritched between the eyes of the squid-like creature on the table before him. Its slimy exterior shimmered from the tub of water it had crawled out of, approaching him in a manner belying the natural curiosity the species was known for, amongst other things.
"This is the terrifying, ... | The supreme member of the Geandian council sat at the head of the table looking worried.

However, the people who played them would grow up to develop the next generation of games. And the next, and the next. The thing about games is that they allow you to immerse yourself in the world.
