[WP] The body snatchers have replaced your family so they can observe human society. At dinner one of them makes an awkward mistake that should reveal everything.

Strange thing is you don’t remember teaching this kid. | Sleet poured down outside. It was a dreadful night, but after a hard week even the weather wouldn't stop the working men of Lareton from enjoying a drink.

[WP]The zombie apocalypse has come and gone. Humanity has survived and prospered, but with the virus still inside every single human. Centuries in the future, we are at war with an alien race, and they are horrified to learn that we don't stay dead easily. | Name. Date of birth. Social. Down the hall.

[WP] You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches. | Alel bit his lip as the prisoner crumpled to dust, blowing away from a wind within an airtight room. Well, that was out the window. The judge simply stared with a bored look in his eye, confirming the kill before charting it down and looking to some other infinite list.
“Charles Alel, take to the stand.”
Alel grimac... | You breathe. Slowly, softly, barely there. It's going to be your turn soon. Soon. Just one more in front of you.

[WP] The summoned hero was neither a fighter nor a magic caster. He called himself a "new-clee-ar fizz-izz-ist" whatever that means. Now he has sent you to collect a special rock for him. Why he would need a rock, you will never know, but he even gave you a device that clicks when you find it. | The clicks don't follow a pattern.
At the oldtime tavern there's a piano player that puts up a metronome, which goes click-click-click-click all in time.
But this little device clicks ragged. It's a chattering of teeth. Sometimes big bites, sometimes the shiver of a few minutes spent too long on the snowy surface.

[WP] Djiin are actually well-meaning, but lack understanding and context of the human world, thus granting wishes in an unsatisfactory manner. Tell the story from the genie's point of view, who genuinely wishes to please his master.
Since most stories involving genies and other wish-granting entities characterise thes... | Once again I see light. How long has it been since I last saw the light of this world. Has it been decades? Centuries? The world always looks so different each time I am summoned. One thing never changes though, the nature of each person's wish. Money, power, sometimes even love. Try as I may I can't help but think the... | Once again, I was called upon a human to grant their wish. I appeared before him, ready to do his bidding. He appeared nervous, but determined, pacing back and forth within his unkempt and small living arrangement.

[WP] Your significant other is immortal, but you aren't. Every time you die, they track down your reincarnation and fall in love all over again, every time.
Edit: Didn't realize this until after, but you can switch the roles, you being immortal and they reincarnating. Whichever fits the kind of story you want to tell.... | That guy showed up today again at the park. Why doesn't he just stay away?
He's such a total creep, and he scares me. I know I shouldn't have gone to the park with my friends, but, we like just moved here! How did he find me again so fast?
Luckily Theresa saw him watching me. Who knows what might have happened if she... | The eyes never changed. They always had the same wonder and mysterious enticement behind the gray. That was how I knew it was him.
Falling in love again was the easy part. It is bliss every time. Learning to over come anything to be with the one you love, I never thought it would be so pertinent for me. I found him... | 2018-06-07T23:34:49 | 2018-06-07T23:04:00 | 19 | 13 |

[WP] Necromancy is just the arcane equivalent of computer programming, and grimoires on necromancy are just like libraries of code on animating the undead. You work the equivalent of the IT Help Desk for your necromancer cult. These are your work stories. | It's been a long day.

The timepiece intoned eight low-pitched bells. Time for the shift to begin.
The purple smoke in front of me almost immediately swirled into a familiar pentacle. I performed the necessary arcane manipulations - the old *swipe right* - and the line of communication was established.
My voice ... | People are idiots. Simple as that. After third time you accept the message to a screaming newbie rambling in about zombie apocalypse, when they have some simple error, it gets old fast.

[WP] The end of the Universe has come. God and Lucifer sit and reminisce with each other.. as old friends. | There was no wine. There were no glasses. There were no lush, velvet chairs and matching footstools. There was nothing. All had ended and there was nothing.
And yet there was Lucifer, sipping merrily, his feet up, the rest of him sunk deeply, dreamily into a plush throne of padded red velvet.
God paced and sighed and... | "Well met Lucifer". "Uhh, hello there, God"
Both giving each other a respectful nod.
"The Universe´s vanished. All Time and Space end.
Let´s sit here together and watch it, my friend"

[WP] You, a mere human, find yourself inside an arena and pitted against all sorts of supernatural beings in combat. Being a diehard fantasy fan however, you know their weaknesses. All of them. | Deep in the pit where reality twists, in the lower planes where myth and mortal blend, stood a lone figure in the center of The Gulch. It was here where the dirt was slick with blood and sinew; here where many before him had fallen to the horrors that lurked just outside the mortal veil. The clouds had worn their funer... | The crowd was silent. They all practically knew the outcome of the match anyway.

[WP] You've become friends with a murder of crows. They occasionally mimic you, saying simple greetings or short phrases. Today, they seem uninterested in your offerings, and almost appear on edge. Waiting for something. You try to ask them what's wrong. "Hide," one caws swiftly. | I arrived at my usual spot in the forest, nearly out of breath. The hike had been especially difficult in the cold weather. I approached a dead sycamore tree. Still trying to catch my breath, I looked up to find a murder of crows perched in the tree.
“Hello!” I said to them, awaiting their response. But they didn’t ma... |
I've walked these snow covered paths as long as I've lived in the old village. Lost in the woods with my avian friends I usually found solace; Now amongst the twisting dark branches I found only cold fear.

[WP] A new hero is rising up in the world. But because they wear a mask and never speak, villains, civilians, and even fellow heroes are mildly creeped out by them. Turns out the hero is just really socially awkward. | I never talked much. Not in elementary school, not in middle school, not in high school and definitely not in college. I was always bullied because of it. Always not included in everything. I didn't mind it much. It's not that I didn't want to talk, at least it started out that way, I just never had anything meaningful... | "Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokemon! My name is Oak!

[WP] You're a supervillain, and you have never been so utterly beaten. All of your tricks, all of your weapons, completely outdone by a prepubescent girl and a stuffed animal. You're bracing for the finishing blow when she bops you over the head with her wand. "Don't do any more bad stuff! ...Okay?" | "... Can't say I was expecting that."
The little girl who called herself the Protector Princess sheathed her wand and reiterated, "I mean it, Mystery! No more bad stuff!"
I gathered the strength to get out of my destroyed mech's cockpit and responded, "It's *Misery*, sweetie. And after the thrashing you and your frie... | I was the greatest criminal in the galaxy. As the leader of the greatest villain organization, no hero could hope to touch a hair on my head.

[WP] You obtained the ability to experience life as it is for others. After trying out a few people you realize that the general "living feeling" differs enormously to each person. You decide to try it on your super cheerful friend... you have never felt such emptiness before. | Slipping into other people's skin was a little like visiting other people's houses. The house itself was usually pretty similar to my own but with the furniture rearranged and the walls painted a different color.
Jessie didn't have colors. Her view was a muted greyscale, her house was without furniture like she didn't... | I blinked back to myself and glanced at the TV, where Monty Python and the Holy Grail was playing. I spaced out *really* hard whenever I blinked to someone, so I needed to either do it really fast and ride out the dizziness that came with it, or make sure there was some sort of distraction.

[WP] The whole universe is gone, and only two kids were left in the void. "Let's play again," said one of the kids to his only companion, "but this time I'll be God, and you will be the Devil." | "Huh, I wasn't thinking we'd end it like that..." A brown haired girl narrowed her brow, wearing a quizzical expression.

The two children were sitting around a sphere half the size of them. ... | "I'll create a nice river first. Then I think the planes, different ones this time.

[WP] “How many people would have been better off had I not been born?” The genie snaps and a few numbers appear in the air and form 7,592. “Okay, how many people would benefit from my existence?” With the flip of a wrist the numbers spin to a whopping 137 trillion. “Okay.... how?” | A bead of sweat formed on the genie's brow, as he nervously searched for the right words to use, fully aware that he was about to deliver my fate.

[WP] When you kill someone, their remaining life span is added to yours. Archaeologists have just found a cavern, apparently sealed off for thousands of years, with a single person living inside. | It is a phenomenon known for millennia, that to end another's life would extend the span of yours by their remaining natural years. It was because of this that in our otherwise civilised and ordered society occurred an abhorrent level of murder.
Home security was prioritised alongside food and water. It was common oc... | Light flooded her pupils for the first time in centuries, searing her nerves with white fire. She covered her face, wincing from the pain.

[WP] You stare at the skeletal figure in full tactical gear, rifle held nonchalantly in his hands. “I got tired of chasing the runners,” Death says, “This seemed easier.” | Death waited for his latest victim to cower before him in the face of his newly purchased tactical gear. Instead, all he received was a puzzled look from an old man. Old by human standards at any rate. Nothing on his face resembled the awe and fear he imagined his new appearance would bring.
‘What’s the problem?... | The Reaper before me cracked his neck. "So, what have you been up to?"
I, the first born of three siblings, Life, had no idea what to tell my youngest sibling. "Oh, you know... Same old same old. Birthing universes, branching timelines, giving life."

[WP] Your dorky dad is really into metal detecting. He mostly digs up junk that fills up your parents' house, but his latest find is...quite different. | Beep...Beep.
That sound kept me up. It is the incessant sound of my dad’s metal detector scanning every surface. I would continue walking listlessly alongside him with my bag, just listening to that sound.

[WP] Your spouse was actually an amnesiac god that had both their powers and memories sealed away years ago. Now the seal is broken and they have regained their godhood. They're curious why you're not as happy as they are about this. | What happened?
Pain.
I try to open my eyes.
I'm.. on the ground? Yes. I'm laying against our living room wall. The one that has the kitchen on the other side, the one we painted yellow a few years back. It's a nice shade of yellow.

[WP] You wake up one night unable to sleep and decide to surf reddit. As you open the front page, every post is the same: nuclear weapons have been deployed in the middle east. Before you can react, your phone starts exploding with text messages. Then you hear the air raid sirens.

[WP] The Sword would make him a great warrior, but if he didn't live honorably, it would fail him when he needed it most. Now he prays on the eve of every battle that this isn't the time he'll need the Sword most. | The hordes of soldiers ran by, adrenaline coursing through their veins. It coursed through mine too. This was one of the many things that connected us.
I had prayed yesterday, prayed this morning too; to no god but rather to the blade in my grasp. Prayed it would bring me strength and calm in my battles today. Prayed ... | It is a strange life to live. Out on the fringes of what society can be found in these wild lands. No one can be relied on outside the walls of the settlements.

My past self and Dji stared at me... | As I looked at her, and her trusting, expectant eyes, still so full of life, I suddenly realized that the unknown of what I would become frightened me more than death.

[WP] Your job as a researcher in the facility isn't too bad. The hours are shit and the coffee maker is broken, but at least the people are nice. And the job is easy: talk to the telepathic spider, run some tests on the witch, give the eldrich god his daily newspaper, basic stuff. Describe your day
Inspired by the SCP... | *I see you are still terrified of me, Brian.*
The words did feel warm in my mind, I admit, but I still felt no place for them.
*Yes,* I thought, as Bul'grum lowered herself down in front of me. With a body the size of a catcher's mitt, it was hard to imagine the thin thread shot from her spinneret was keeping her up... | I rubbed my tired eyes. The stench of Pat’s armpits was really beginning to get to me. The soggy rustling of her once crisp linen shirt was thunderous. What made it worse was that she was a lovely person. Always covering for people, kind to the new kids, first to smile and last to scold. I guess you have to take the go... | 2018-04-23T11:08:29 | 2018-04-23T10:09:37 | 62 | 21 |
[WP] Your roommate is 2nd most powerful superhero in the world and he will not shut up about it. He does not yet know that you are the 1st. | It was bound to happen sooner or later. Heroes weren't really allowed to kill, after all. Only vigilantes and villains did that. But this unspoken rule meant that sooner or later they would be put at a disadvantage fighting someone who was willing to use any means at their disposal to win.
Doctor Genocide's plan had w... | Josh looked at me with a colossal smile on his face:
-"Brian, you'll never know what happened today! There was a fiery man-dragon appeared near the shopping district. He was burning like 10 cop cars and lots of shops, and almost blew up a kid. A fucking kid, bro. But hey, he met his doom today too. I was there, and I... | 2016-03-23T22:37:47 | 2016-03-23T20:56:08 | 62 | 14 |
[WP]Both of your parents made deals with fae about giving them their firstborn. Different fae... Now you live under the joint custody of two faeries who don't like this situation one bit. | "All rise." Despite the fairies calling themselves "courts" this is the only gathering resembling a courtroom they had, and it was made for me. And what a farce it is.
As soon as the regnant presiding as this year's "judge" entered the clearing, the gathered fae all bowed. Well, all except the "jury" made of the remai... | From the outside, our family looks like any other one. A mom, a dad, and a son they both love. However, once you peel back the front we put on, you start to see it’s almost entirely a lie. My mother, Hyna, and my father, Cillin, are both faeries to whom my parents sold my existence to. This causes some, minor, disputes... | 2021-05-14T10:49:42 | 2021-05-14T10:07:34 | 27 | 16 |
[WP] A witch keeps casting spells on you, to make you more kind or teach you a lesson. She made you poor, of the other sex,an animal, a ghost, a car, with another look... but every time you adapt to the spell and you manage to live your live very well, withouth learning anything. The witch hates you | "I've got it. I know exactly how to ruin you."
The witch stood at the top of the cobblestone steps, leading down to the dungeon. Her name was Moira Vicious, and she had a smile like a knife. She had never met a human she could not magic into submission.
Until now.
The prisoner smirked at her from the darkness. Eve... | Waking up with only one eye working didn’t irritate me in the slightest. In fact, I actually liked it as it gave me an excuse to wear an eyepatch and I looked badass.
The witch that cursed me with my blind eye rugged at her hair in frustration, banging her pale green head on my window as she watched me admire myself ... | 2021-05-13T16:19:53 | 2021-05-13T16:11:02 | 505 | 54 |
[WP] Voldemort kills Harry Potter and declares war against the Muggles. He loses horribly, because unlike wizards - Muggles actually understand how magic works. | "Everything is quantifiable."
Professor Pendleton was addressing the first ever "Science of Magic" class. He knew he should be proud to be the first non magical teacher at Hogwarts, but he was just really nervous.
"Magic, for years...centuries, was thought to be just that, magic, undefinable, something that came fro... | When Harry died, the faith in Hogwarts did too. For the wizard was the strongest in the school. If he was taken down by Voldemort, then anyone could. The Headmaster, Hermoine, anyone. They would all inevitably fall to Voldemort. A steady stream of wizards defected to the side of Voldemort, but many stayed strong. To di... | 2017-07-17T18:32:14 | 2017-07-17T16:20:00 | 50 | 20 |
[WP] You are the sole survivor a famous serial killer as a college student. Years later, after being diagnosed with terminal cancer you finally pluck up the courage to visit him in prison and ask one question that’s been plaguing you for decades: “why didn’t you kill me?”
Thought I’d do a human story in the sea of bul... | Mr. Jay heard the machine beep again. He saw the doctor writing down the numbers, and the look of concern in his eyes. Mr. Jay understood what that meant, and he did not intend to sit and whither away in these four walls: he had items on his bucket list to cross off.
He traveled to the other side of the world, he m... | “Why didn’t you kill me?”
He sits across from me, and both he and I know he’s in control, complete control. The situation is his, his to manipulate. Fifteen years ago he changed my life. My boyfriend and I were abducted, and he was killed fast. I on the other hand was tortured and terrorized, before he finally let me ... | 2018-07-21T11:01:04 | 2018-07-21T08:24:16 | 32 | 23 |
[WP] The goblins who dwell just outside your village are small and dumb –in an oddly endearing way. The villagers humor their innocuous raids and sometimes even give them advice. In the village’s darkest hour, the goblins send aid. | "Willem, the sun is setting earlier now. Walk the fences, and take the scraps to the pig sty and if....."
"Yes, ma. I know. If I am set upon by goblins, drop the scrap bucket and run back home. Ma, I'm fourteen in a moon's turn. I could fight a goblin."
"Willem! We done harm them none and they don't bother us n... | The villagers thought that they were very cute, cute like a pug . Many strange and wonderful things could be found in the mountains where the goblins lived. The villagers never really knew, but suspected chaotic magic was at work because the evil goblins that had terrorized the village for generations were now a cross ... | 2022-05-26T16:33:26 | 2022-05-26T09:36:40 | 38 | 22 |
[WP] You are a cosmic being that likes to terraform planets as a hobby. Galactic law permits creation of life up to Class III. Noticing the creatures on your latest planet are getting close to Class IV, you flick an asteroid at the planet. Some time later, you realise you didn’t check for survivors | I recline in my seat, looking at the planet in front of me. Fifth from the sun, in the habitable zone of its star, the planet looks well and healthy. Vast bodies of water can be seen, interspaced with landmasses filled with life, lush and green. A species on this planet has managed to gain ascendancy, taking over the p... | I flipped open the catalog, crumpling some pages in frustration. Flicking through the magazine, my thumb stopped at a dog-eared page. Yep, right over there. That caption right over there.
**Complete annihilation for Class V and lower beings guaranteed.**
That asteroid had burned a little hole in my wallet a few milli... | 2018-04-14T19:09:16 | 2018-04-14T17:48:46 | 81 | 12 |
[WP] "Sorry, but you don't meet our requirements for a heavenly afterlife, here's a paper of other heavens you can try, and hells if none of those work sorted by least painful, you can always try the re-incarnation wheel, but the number of tries is numbered so be careful." | The angel was telling me to go to hell. He was nice about it, sure. So nice, actually, that I barely noticed his intent until thinking about it for a second. Almost like he was tricking me into complying out of politeness. The fact that there were millions of souls behind me, all waiting in line for their turn, only ma... | [Warning] Some adult language
The Red Tape of Heaven
There is a small desk, with one man sitting at it, an empty chair sits across from him, he is flipping through paperwork and seems rather annoyed.
[God] NEXT!... have a seat.
[Morty] Where am i?
[God] You're in purgatory
[Morty] I’m sorry i didn't catch t... | 2020-11-27T16:37:38 | 2020-11-27T16:32:10 | 67 | 29 |
[WP] your cat finds a magic lamp buried in your backyard. The genie inside grants him 3 wishes | "A feline!" The genie boomed. "It has been millennia since I've had the pleasure to serve one of your kind."
The slightly overweight tabby glanced at the enormous being and yawned, showing his teeth.
"As haughty as my long memory reminds me," the demon mused. "Do you know what I am, cat?"
The tabby meowed and pawed ... | The genie asks, "What is your first wish?"
"Food in my bowl" replied Whiskers.
"But there is already food in your bowl!"
"I wish for food in my bowl"
Then with a snap of his fingers, Whiskers' bowl was overflowing. He quickly ate half of it and took a nap.
When he awoke, the genie asked "What is your second wish... | 2019-04-14T10:35:28 | 2019-04-14T09:55:41 | 22 | 16 |
