It has to be.... | What the hell is that? Shit, we still have a landline in this place? Not for much longer, I don't need calls at four thirty in the morning, or to hear about how late I am on my student loan debts. Good, rang through, back to---what the fuck, again?

[WP] I recently bought a camera. When I take a picture it shows me how the person will spend their next 20 Dollars. It has destroyed my life. | This camera is awesome! I thought too myself as I took a picture of my smoking hot literature teacher.

I raced home to show my mom and dad what my new camera could do. I reached the front door and before I opened it I pondered, what would it... | It was a pretty little thing. A beautiful DSLR. It fit perfectly in my hand.
Of course, I had to test it out as soon as I bought it. My first subject was my fiancé, Juliet. But there was something wrong – as soon as I took a picture, the screen instantly fogged up and displayed an amount and a word.

[WP] People level their skills in an RPG fashion and are conscious of their sudden jumps from novice to journeyman and so on. You've spent your life training a skill that is entirely useless until becoming invaluable once mastered - and you just mastered it. | It started with something everyone did. It started while he stumbled against a table corner in the living room at age 3. He honed this skill without realizing. In kindergarden he used it on the carers. At home he used it on his parents and siblings.

You are Mark Zuckerberg. | Millions of humans slowly emerged from their dark, cold cavernous asylums into the day. Realizing the day was bright and warm and it wasn't to be shared with anyone, happiness soon followed. Facebook is gone. Their lives were their own to rule and control; all their own to live in peace.
It took longer than expected... | I hurriedly grabbed by briefcase as I left the car. Checked my pockets briefly, checking for keys, phone, wallet. All good, lets go.

However, the first person to press it each night is horrifically killed. | I glanced over at the button on my desk that'd appeared yesterday night. It seemed everyone in the world had one now.

Now, you are the internet's child, and all your life has been directed by endless online polls and debates. | I can always count on the Facebook sanctimommies to let me do my homework. Their insistance on a 4.3 g.p.a. has been a life saver. Sometimes they're a little *too* helpful, and they insist on doing my work for me.

Jeff was slammed to the ground as the massive voice rammed into the Earth, cracking buildings and sending people to the ground. Hysteria broke out around him.

I really can’t help it, I swear. Most days I’m “good.” I can suppress the urges. But that only lasts a short while before I need to kill something. Animals bored me after a while.

Brilliant ideas might come about from the drunken sim... | 2016-03-03T06:05:43 | 2016-03-03T02:52:30 | 378 | 34 |
[WP] Every time you die, you are transported to the time of the first event that ultimately caused your death. One day, you are hit by a car and sent 12 years into the past. | I had read about the Dead Butterfly Phenomenon - where after death one would go back in time to what started the chain of events that led to one's death - but I didn't think it was real.
Anyway, here I am, seconds after the reckless driver hit me while I was trying to change a flat tire, and... I'm in the back of a ro... | It's been a strange life; constantly setting back to what I guess could be called checkpoints. I didn't quite understand what was going on when I was younger, but now I have gotten use to second, and even third chances.
Everytime I die, I get sent back to the decision that caused my untimely demise so I may try to avo... | 2016-11-09T11:09:25 | 2016-11-09T10:57:53 | 38 | 27 |
[WP] At 14, every human gains the ability to transform into their spirit animal. Your noble family, comprised entirely of wolves, isn't happy with your transformation... | My name is Jericho Kilmore and I'm 13, but not for long. My 14th birthday is in under ten seconds. We live in the town of Falborda, a place that I have cherished much from my very first memory. My father is the Hand of the King and since written history, our spirit animal has always been a wolf.
Recent alchemy studies... | On my fourteenth birthday my family gathered around my bed as I awoke. 6 wolves impatiently wagged their bushy tails. They were all panting and Marcie had someone's underwear in her mouth. They waited for me to test my transformation.
They waited 'til about 5AM and then they all howled out something that faintly resem... | 2017-01-21T21:33:35 | 2017-01-21T20:18:38 | 16 | 11 |
[WP] A race of mages has expanded across the stars to harvest mana by seeding worlds with life. They arrive at a new star then a bright glow envelopes them. What followed are metal obelisks with a humanoid yelling into the void: "That was your warning shot. We will not let you reach Earth." | In the aftermath of The Fall, a galactic empire found itself torn asunder from within. Countless millennia of unchecked growth and careless hedonism had warped the unbreakable and rotted it from the inside. When every conceivable problem had been solved by automation, when immortality was achieved and taken for granted... | The Iseluleki SeedShip slipped through the Astral cosmic void unchallenged. High Magistra Phlaselki stood at the helm, third eye open to the Astral, seeking for any threats. It had been millennia since anything had challenged the might of the Iseluleki, but still she remained vigilant. The Zjanzj were still a threat-... | 2017-06-05T11:46:20 | 2017-06-05T10:20:51 | 193 | 128 |
[WP] Write a really BAD guide for getting a guy/girl. Bonus points if the narrator is mocking you for still being single.

Let this love expert help you snag that hottie who's never looked your way with these simple tips. Throw away that photo of your ex under your pillow and ... | Excerpts from "Hunting and Containment: A Modern Womans Guide to bagging a Man"

[WP] It's the future and you just purchased a brand new device that lets you know how much someone has left to live. Right as you try it out while going through the city, you realise that everyone's remaining lifespan is the same. | Dorian looked at his watch. Men in suits brushed past him on their way home from work. Cars honked, and people rolled down their windows to shout at their peers.
“Stop blocking the sidewalk, Punk,” someone said and elbowed him in the ribs.
The device finally whirred to life, and Dorian turned it against his attacker.... | The Night Market is a funny place, and I don't mean that in a ha-ha way. You hear stories. I did, at least, from a
young age. The kind of things they sell there, you won't find anywhere else. The kind of people that dwell in its
streets are people molded by that stale air, that claustrophobic neon jungle encrusted on... | 2017-06-20T15:24:59 | 2017-06-20T14:52:00 | 81 | 29 |
[WP] Humans have started colonizing other galaxies, only they never figured out cryosleep. Instead they send a large group of people towards a galaxy with instructions to keep the ship populated until it arrives. It will take 11 generations to reach the galaxy, and you are in the 5th. | "Number five" those were my first words and that was what I was, generation number five.
When I was seven and got home from school, my mother asked me what I'd learned. "Everything" I answered and then I told her what professor Hansen had told us. That we were the halfway point of a great journey and that it was up to... | They have never seen Earth. They will never see Haven.
The generation ship Ticonderoga sailed through the dark space between the stars, a giant monstrosity ferrying twenty thousand souls on a journey to nowhere. For them, the ship was everything. It was their entire history and legacy, rolled up into one. They needed ... | 2017-09-12T13:32:44 | 2017-09-12T13:02:07 | 40 | 11 |
[WP] Write a letter to someone you miss
It's been a rough week. Everyone has someone they wish were still with them. Write to them and tell them how you feel. Pour your heart out. No judging. Even if they never see it, someone will. And thank you. It's tough to be alone. | Alex,
It has been 99 days since you left. 99 days. Some days are easier than the rest. There are days when I genuinely smile as I remember you. You left me with so many good memories; and I thank you for each and every one. I miss you. Every. Single. Day.
You said we'd be together for the rest of our lives - we just ... | Dear Dani,
After everything that happened I continue to see you everywhere I go. Whether it's bringing up the past or driving through town and seeing a car just like yours or in my dreams sometimes I can't escape you. And I always think about what exactly it is I will do when I see you again. I want to scream at you o... | 2017-11-05T21:44:07 | 2017-11-05T19:53:10 | 1,462 | 95 |

I'd love to say I've changed, I'm new, brag about things I've done. I'd love to say I've grown.
But you, with your disarming blue eyes, somehow always knew. You always knew when I was making things up, when I was caught in little white lies. You'd encourage some.
And I'd love to say how different I am, from ... | 2017-11-05T21:44:07 | 2017-11-05T19:02:54 | 1,462 | 55 |

You died 11 years ago when I was only 10years old. I had begged my parents to go to your funeral but they refused and I never got to go. I never got a formal goodbye so here it is.
I loved playing the violin for you. It always brought you such joy. I loved how you would always say “one day I’ll be bet... | Dear Pop Pop,
I miss you. It's been about 11 or 12 years since you died. I was really young at the time, so all I remember is the last few months you were alive, watching the cancer slowly eat away at your body. With each visit you got more and more frail. I didn't recognize it at the time but looking back, seeing wha... | 2017-11-05T21:06:53 | 2017-11-05T20:37:15 | 351 | 16 |

We had a good run. 16 years is good for a dog that somebody else starved in their back yard for a while.
You did really good. You remembered all those tricks somebody else taught you, showed the cats/birds love, and learned to stop being scared over food. You gave the best hugs on the planet.
I'm sorry th... | Dear Omar,
I know, I know. The last thing you wanted was your obituary to read "...an Oakland Man." I was telling some of my other friends that despite the fact we'd only been close friends for something like a couple years, you were someone that I would've wanted in the groom's party when I eventually got married. ... | 2017-11-06T00:29:00 | 2017-11-05T22:20:06 | 235 | 78 |
