Oh dear friend. If only I could just step back for just one day and talk to you about all that has occurred since we last saw each other. I’m so thankful that we were able to spend the time in life together that we did.

I had never thought that in a million years what I had done during my life would matter, or that my mother's voice would echo in the back of my head; 'Mind... | 2016-05-28T15:46:42 | 2016-05-28T14:59:14 | 305 | 149 |
[WP] Everybody has the ability to bring another person back to life, at the cost of their own life. You are a suicidal celebrity who can't stay dead because of fans constantly sacrificing their lives to resurrect you. | My suicides started when my mother died.
For years, I've been known world-wide for my music. As a songwriter, I use my complex lexicon to bring to life very real, very private experiences in most people's lives. My lyrics evoke tears of pain, mostly, from those who have suffered significant loss or regret. I don't par... | I won a Grammy yesterday, or so my manager told me - I didn't give a shit. I hung up on her, like I always do. With every award I win, every platinum record I release, every single that shoots straight to the top of the charts, I can only sink deeper into the darkness. Because praise brings fans, and fans adore you and... | 2016-07-06T21:54:49 | 2016-07-06T21:24:08 | 423 | 92 |
[WP] You accidently discharge your firearm into the television. Much to your surprise, instead of shattering the glass, it passes right through and hits one of the characters on screen. | My mouth hung open. I almost formed words but instead stammered out a few soft sounds. I put down my Beretta. Heart racing, and hands sweating, I leapt into action: pulling my chair up close to my desk I seized my favorite pen.
I scratched out a short yet powerful message that carried with it the frustrated cries of ... | I have never written in on any writing prompts but this seemed too fun to pass up! I really love the stories you guys come up with, hope mine isn't too lame ha!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I stared at the screen in disbelief almost as if waiting to be awoken... | 2016-09-07T11:20:00 | 2016-09-07T11:05:47 | 15 | 11 |
[WP] Write a story with more holes in its plot than Swiss cheese in a shooting gallery, then resolve all of those plot holes at the end with a single logical explanation. | I am sleepy, but not tired.
I wander in wide-eyed amazement, while oblivious to most of everything around me.
I create worlds, populated by people and animals, and they vanish within one hour.
I talk to my friends and relatives, when there is no one else in the room.
Science is my favorite subject, and yet magic ... | You ever have those days, where you feel utterly invisible to the rest of the world? You walk past crowds of people but they might as well be lifeless statues? You wake up in the morning and go, "Why bother?" and crawl back to bed. You walk past tall city buildings and realize they're nothing but cold stone. Well I can... | 2016-12-05T23:39:20 | 2016-12-05T23:19:33 | 40 | 24 |
[WP] You are a hitman who faked their own death to live out the rest of your days in peace. You are attending your own funeral service when you notice one of your previous 'marks' is there alive and well. | Her face stood out from the crowds, as it always did. She wore black like the rest of them, but there was no mistaking that glint of copper hair.
He moved swiftly towards her - Cassie was supposed to be as buried as the man they thought was him. He stepped around those who were quietly sobbing or discussing his brutal... | My father was an agent of some sort, he never really talked about his work with us. Even though he wasn't around often, he made sure his time with us was well spent. Sometimes, during our vacations, he would take a call and tell us he had to leave immediately. I was always curious what his job was, what was more impor... | 2016-12-28T23:41:21 | 2016-12-28T22:19:33 | 1,864 | 191 |
[WP] "Don't worry, it's what makes us human." The human finished, right before all the aliens stood in horror | "So, to end, humanity is a race that has always been at the bottom of the food chain. We might not have the strength of some other species, or even their longevity, but we will always have the will to carry on. Simply put, you might even call it what makes us human."
Ambassador Percival chuckled. To think he had been... | "Ugh, that's disgusting!" Blerg of the Klepians said upon watching Rick finish his breakfast. Blerg was a slug-like creature, covered with billions of tiny hairs that vibrated to condense the air around an object so that he could pick it up. At this moment, he used them chug a glass of water that appeared to be floatin... | 2017-04-24T10:15:49 | 2017-04-24T09:40:40 | 213 | 112 |
[WP] Instead of having a guardian angel, you have a guardian Demon. His methods are often much more violent. But much more straight forward. | "Gi'me your wallet!" The thug stood above me, knife pointed at my neck. He had kicked my bike when I turned around the corner. "Come on you little shit!"
"It's cool man! Just put the knife down, I'm not going to resist!" I started to reach for my wallet, when he kicked me. _Oh crap..._ I thought, praying for his safe... | "I got to the building, and it was locked, and I thought, oh, that's it. I didn't show up for the interview on time, they're not even gonna give me a chance. So I pulled out my phone to rant to my boyfriend about it, when suddenly the manager came rushing toward the building, and she gives me this long story about how ... | 2017-06-13T07:00:00 | 2017-06-13T05:44:52 | 50 | 28 |
[WP] You are a Squib who mastered a vast repertoire of Muggle magic tricks to finagle Hogwarts into sending you a letter. Everything goes smoothly, until it is time for the Sorting Ceremony... | "This is strange." I began to fidget on the stool. "I havent had one this difficult to read in over 25 years" I nervously wiped my palms on the fold of my robe. "Ahhhh, you aren't meant to be here. You're a muggle" The hat began to feel heavier on my head. All my hard work, foiled by the bloody sorting hat. It looked a... | It was that time of year again at Hogwarts. A new wave of anxious first years will be starting their magical journeys today, and after waiting what seemed like a lifetime, so will I.
We were lined up at the stairs, McGonagall instructing us on what would be taking place as we enter the Great Hall. While confident, I ... | 2017-06-25T15:03:55 | 2017-06-25T14:36:15 | 56 | 36 |

Gryffindor!" the Sorting Hat shouted as Harry Potter excitedly ambled down the stairs. His oblivious expression only further ignited my excitement.
"Pfttt. What's all this cacophony about? Sure, he's that voodoo 'Chosen One', but he doesn't have the ounce of the p... | 2017-06-25T15:03:55 | 2017-06-25T14:51:44 | 56 | 17 |
[WP] The first generation of wizards inherits from their parents’ professions. For example, a child of a chef and a swimmer wields fire and water spells. You possess something interesting. | Creation.
That was what they called it, when it came to my powers. An odd thing, and not exactly what everyone expected. See, my mom was a programmer, and my dad was a digital artist. Everyone expected me to be able to work with electronics, or technology in general - and that would've been fine. Hell, you can mak... | My parents dropped me off at the Zen's Foundation of Gifted Children, they said would help me train my latent powers. The building itself looked like a mental institution, at least the ones they showed in the movies. The only reason they sent me there was that the principle of my school had suspected me to force someon... | 2018-04-15T14:12:07 | 2018-04-15T13:07:56 | 18 | 10 |
[WP] You're a nigh-invincible superhero with one weakness: a gun thrown at you in desperation after it runs out of bullets | Super Guy and Villain Man once again find themselves locked in an epic battle in the city in which they reside. After a long chase, the two adversaries wind up in alleyway. Villain Man is cornered with two buildings on his side and a brick wall behind him.
**BANG BANG BANG**
Villain Man lets loose with his hand cann... | Ridiculous. What was he even doing ? He could almost hear the iconic Roger Murtagh, too old for this shit, he thought to himself. He chuckled.
There was a familiar series of bangs against the wall behind him, just over his head. He watched the fresh metal as it pinged off into the distance. His slight smile faded, the... | 2018-04-27T10:43:41 | 2018-04-27T10:03:37 | 317 | 52 |
[WP]: Alcohol is not medicine. No bloodletting. Absolutely NO mercury, at all, ever. Being thrown hundreds of years back in time was an inconvenience, but at least you’ve made a name for yourself as the most paranoid and superstitious doctor around. | Another day another one of those bird masked idiots shouting about me being a witch outside my house. I'd love just one morning where I can eat breakfast in peace, it's bad enough that there's no coffee or bacon but hearing those fools scream at the crack of dawn is an awful way to start the day. I can tell tron the sm... | The glass splintered and tiny shards were scattered across the room as it crashed into the ground.
“What in the hell is wrong with you!?” the confused man shrieked in obvious disbelief.
I looked around and noticed that my actions had drawn a considerable amount of attention from the other patrons of the Garrison Pub,... | 2018-06-21T11:48:07 | 2018-06-21T11:41:35 | 809 | 102 |
