[WP] Eye colour means everything here. Brown control the earth, blue controls the water, white controls the sky. There are so many colours and each important but you were the first born with yellow eyes. | Everyone wants to be different. I, to my dismay, am.
I was deemed dangerous when I was born. Even though there are those that can level mountains with a wave of their hand, or calm a storm with a mere thought, it was I that they feared- a baby. Those comfortable with their own strength and power often fear that which... | This is my first go at one of these, hope you enjoy...
It's kind of ironic, when you think about it at least. We abolished all forms of racism, slavery and discrimination but then the changed happened. I'm no expert, especially since it happened so long ago, but from what I learnt growing up there's something special... | 2016-08-08T11:36:54 | 2016-08-08T11:35:38 | 28 | 10 |
[WP] Eye colour means everything here. Brown control the earth, blue controls the water, white controls the sky. There are so many colours and each important but you were the first born with yellow eyes. | No one is suppose to be amazing, not really. Life is suppose to be an ordinary struggle to continue living an ordinary life until the eventual ordinary death. Maybe some people could accomplish amazing things, but not someone from such an ordinary past as myself. My mother was an ordinary green eye, only capable of ... | I had always been jealous of the others. Being able to cause earthquakes, raise and lower the ground, rolling the ground underneath my feet as if it were a skateboard. Or what about being able to make water appear wherever you wanted it to appear. Make it rain and shower the pastures for the farmers or being able to gi... | 2016-08-08T11:27:39 | 2016-08-08T10:59:12 | 26 | 12 |
[WP] The Illuminati is actually a gentlemen's club for the super-rich. Often men make high risk and dangerous bets/wagers such as: "I bet you can't destabilize Ukraine in under a week." One day you offer a wager to the most powerful member that's too irresistible to turn down. | Adam Weishaupt reclined lazily in the overstuffed leather love seat, his polished brogues crossed one over the other on the mahogany coffee table. Mumbling past his chestnut pipe, his words slid past his lips, as languid as the Thames on a summer day, "...and half of my assets in Bavaria if you're able to bring those ... | I watch the clown on my 52 inchTV, he delivers yet another embarrassing news conference making a spectacle of our entire political system. How did we get here? I must confess, it is all my fault. I belong to a gentlemen's club for what are termed, super-rich. One day, after enjoying a round of golf with my bud Mark, we... | 2016-08-23T16:59:10 | 2016-08-23T13:00:40 | 164 | 94 |
[WP] Humans are born with a mark around their wrist which has a matching color with that of their soulmate's, but can change through their life. Your mark has had a blue hue since you were 14, but one night, while you're out, people start looking at you funny. You realize that your mark is gone. | "Hey, Peter," Max calls out from across the street. He waves in his usual jubilant manner. Beside him, Becky stands. She's dressed particularly pretty tonight. Classy, like a dame from the 30s. It complemented Max's casual suit quite nicely. I call out a greeting and cross the road to meet them.
"Where's Jill?" Becky... | Hair fresh, shirt ironed, jeans fitted, and shoes that could be in a model catalogue.
Yet here I am, on the hunt and unlucky, just like everyone else.
I should have stayed in and watched TV like I had planned. But when the news about some lady dying came on, I figured it was time for me to get out before I started ... | 2016-10-04T20:36:20 | 2016-10-04T19:54:58 | 1,532 | 94 |
[WP] A love letter is slipped under your door at your college. It would be cute, but it came from the closet door.
Pulled from the Instagram of @horrophiles. Saw it and wanted to see what would come up. | I was alone again, just like the last twenty five Valentine's Days.
I'd stuck a card in Julie's mailbox that morning. It was my annual February ritual. I didn't sign it - I never did. Chicks dig mystery, right?
Of course, as I was creeping back down her driveway, trying not to make a noise on the gravel, I noticed th... | When I was a kid, I was always terrified of the monsters under my bed. I would pull up my covers, but it was never enough. *Things* would touch me, writhing under the mattress and sending out their spindly tentacles to wrap over the sheets. Voices murmured my name, along with assorted threats, at a level tone. Shapes d... | 2017-04-11T15:10:04 | 2017-04-11T14:56:07 | 2,811 | 352 |
[WP] A story that doesn't make any sense, until you read the last line. | It's the best deal in town. You can be the student you always wanted to be. However long it takes. You'll get there, to have the time of your life. When I wanted him. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Sunny and 72 degrees. Except where prohibited by law. He grabbed her hand.
She stopped twisting t... | The first several months after she had arrived in his life were wonderful. He was awestruck by her intelligence, her composure, the way her mellifluous voice filled every room they shared.
He had never met anyone so selfless. She never grew tired of his questions. Even more surprising, she never got upset by his brus... | 2017-08-30T06:54:31 | 2017-08-30T04:57:04 | 5,691 | 3,645 |
[WP] A story that doesn't make any sense, until you read the last line. | "Run away, run away!! It's going to eat us!"

"Mighty Man, Mighty Man, he'll save us from the monsters!"

Grixbrug gave a soft, uninspired sigh. Nothing he did could affect the world anymore. His steps made no impacts into the ground; his bow would not draw; he could knock an arrow, but it wouldn't leave his inventory. How long had he been stuck in this hell.

[WP] A story that doesn't make any sense, until you read the last line. | How much more blood? I had already lost what had to be three cups of blood, and in such a short amount of time.
How much more blood had I left to lose?
I clutched at my side, wracked with pain. Wondering how much more time before the blood soaked through and ruined another article of clothing.
Maybe it already had... | Glass
Lottery was like my religion. I would treat everyday like Sunday. Everyday, I'd pray about my six numbers. I would even kneel. Because I was desperately hoping. Always. Always hoping to hit the jackpot.
