Neither has access to the memories of the other and life for most is about learning to co-exist with another person they will never get to meet. | That son of a bitch, he never cleans up after himself.

Upon your death, you arrive in Heaven and are immediately swarmed with 1000's of various critters delighted to see you. You hear a booming voice cry out with irritation, "This is YOUR fault." | God was pissed. There wasn’t any other way to put it.

“All your fault,” they repeated.
I shrugged. “Look, YOU crowded up my world with a bunch of people. Cruel, selfish human... | When Sarah was alive, she had a ritual she performed for all the dead animals she passed.

I was shocked when my phone call went through to Charles Bolden, the head of NASA. I was shocked when he didn't interrupt me. He just asked me to tell him what happened. I told him. I told him about the aliens, where they found me, what their ship was ... | Today is it. The last day before everyone not photographed dies. I prepare for what's to come. It took me a year and a great fortune to go around the world. I did my best to capture everyone who was a good person and deserved to live. I know it will haunt me, deciding who lives and dies but this is for the betterment o... | 2017-01-27T15:36:30 | 2017-01-27T14:29:51 | 26 | 11 |
[WP] When you die, your ghost remains in the world until the last person who remembers you also dies. 15,000 years after your death, you are still here. | 15,000 years. 15,000 mid-numbing years of waiting. It was exciting to Adam at first at first, the knowledge that life didn't just end with death, that he got to stick around and observe humanity. It suited him well, he'd always been a quiet fellow, and since he was just a ghost, no one gave him a hard time for being a ... | I spent my entire life believing, "Heaven was a place called Earth." I wish I would have been right.... 15,000 years and nothing has changed. Well, for me anyways. Many people have come and gone, I have learned countless stories from trillions, yet, I still remain. An ironic punishment of sorts I could say, I did so mu... | 2017-06-26T15:03:31 | 2017-06-26T11:54:15 | 129 | 47 |
[WP] After an apocalypse, Death is desperately trying to help the last group of survivors so he doesn't lose his job. | "Ah, shit. Shit." Death muttered, wiping the dirt and dust off his cloak. "Ah, fuck." He exclaimed, nearly hitting a building. "Jesus, I really need to talk to the big man about these flight controls.." He said, making a series of quick turns. "Alright. Let's see.." Death whispered to himself, going through an endless ... | It was a dark and stormy night, why did it have to be a dark and stormy night. One of them came out of their ruined building they call a base to gather water from the rain. In his blind stumbling he almost managed to slip and fall into one of the cracks in the earth after the earthquakes. All I wanted to do for so long... | 2017-08-11T07:19:40 | 2017-08-11T03:58:20 | 65 | 14 |
[WP] An ordinary story, but every paragraph the narrator takes a shot | **The Cat in the Hat (with progressive shots of vodka)**
The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day.
I sat there with Sally, we sat there, we two. And I said, "I found daddy's vodka, let's drink til' we're blue."
So all we could do was to

The story has been canonized as one of American Literature's classics, and explores complex morality issues faced in a time when giving in to our own human natures was viewed as both detestable and wrong. I'll tell the story ... | 2017-08-26T12:48:25 | 2017-08-26T12:30:54 | 71 | 30 |
[WP]Some time ago humans were put on the 'Only Contact in Case of Emergency' list. Now a threat to the galaxy has arisen and humanity is it's last hope. | Humans were the most dangerous species, by far. Not because they're smart, or strong, but because they were violent.
No race dared contacting them, because they didn't want war. It's too late now, I guess.
The heat death of our universe would come eventually, we just didn't think that other universes would run out ... | "Yes, ma'am, all we need is aluminum from you."
Dr. Stevens leaned back in his chair and smiled. "Its sir, but I must say, your speech is very good for someone who has only spoken the language for an hour."
"Yes, your... pronouns are... odd. I don't understand the point."
"Well, I'm no linguist, so I can't explain i... | 2017-09-25T09:53:51 | 2017-09-25T09:20:47 | 60 | 19 |
[WP] Vampires cannot enter a house uninvited. Turns out, they invented Welcome mats to bypass this rule decades ago. | "That has got to be, without a shadow of a doubt, the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard."
Sergeant Barnes stood waiting for the coffee machine to finish making noise. Beside him stood Police Constable Williams, with a report in-hand.
"But it has to be the case, sir. There's no other possible connection."
"No o... | John Dongle stares out of a highrise, '*Huh, it's a full moon tonight.* He thought quietly to himself.
"How can we increase sale!?!" shouted Joana in a horrible shrill.
Silence quickly returned, engulfing the seminar room.
"We have other products to worry about." Milton's curt response, in his awfully familiar mono... | 2017-12-13T11:24:11 | 2017-12-13T10:19:27 | 339 | 10 |
[WP] Humanity is the smallest intergalactic nation in terms of size since they couldn't colonize outside their system due to territory issues. An oblivious empire decides to invade humans to find humans to be impossible to invade. | For the first time in over a century, the Eril were going to war. Presently the flotilla was organized in the standard format, light attack ships forward, heavy battleships centered around the capitol cruiser, forge ships in its wake. Probes had yet to see any warships amongst the stellar commercial traffic. The Eril w... | “What do you think of this human empire?” asked Notok.
“I think they are weak, and will be easy to take” said Dotok.
“Excellent, should I ready the troops?” said Notok.
“Sally forth, and tomorrow we will be champions of the galaxy!” said Dotok.
The Grideloks prepared for battle with their ceremonial festivities. L... | 2017-12-24T10:46:32 | 2017-12-24T09:25:58 | 188 | 111 |
[WP] You're on Trial for Murder. The only evidence is a horribly photoshopped picture of you shooting a gun from Halo at the victim. Unfortunately, you seem to be the only person who realizes this. | "The gun is fictional, FICTIONAL I TELL YOU!" I screamed out.
The judge made a simple statement, "prove it."
I pulled out my phone and showed him the halo wiki page for the gun and I pointed out the white cutout around the gun, the judge finally conceded that the picture was photoshopped.
"So John, why are you in pr... | "Why is this happening to me, how can people be so blind?" I thought to myself contemplating calling everyone in court a fucking idiot.
The Jury was made up of a colorful variety of Sunday football dads, Seniors with nothing better to do, and middle aged suburban moms with a thirst for gossip to take them out of thei... | 2018-05-03T15:31:24 | 2018-05-03T15:10:35 | 174 | 63 |
[WP] You're given a chance to see how many times you've been near death. The highest number of times anyone you know of has almost died, was 15, and they have a dangerous job. You just found out that your life has been close to ending 278 times. | My best friend and I had decided to go see the latest craze together. We had gone to get tested to see how many times we had *almost* died by this super computer. It was supposed to be all the rage (kinda like getting fortune told) but in a fun and silly way.
I, a woman of no great importance had set a new record for... | She did her best. She was kind, she feigned a sense of empathy, but I could tell how scared she was as she tentatively told me the news.
Everyone knows that the only people who break 50 are those that have lifethreatening illnesses, and here I am with 278.
I accepted it pretty quickly, I just didn't understand it. M... | 2018-07-27T14:51:55 | 2018-07-27T12:56:54 | 31 | 19 |
[WP] Earth is in the midst of an Alien Invasion. They are winning. The armies of the world are making their last stand. But unbenknownst to both the invaders and the invaded, Humanity was not the only species native to the Sol System... | ‘My Lord, you wanted me to keep you informed about the War on Earth; here are the intel reports but suffice it to say the Humans are losing.’
A wet, gurgling yet unfathomably deep, bass voice tumbled around the chamber, ‘Gooooooood.’
The advisor shrunk back at this before nervously continuing, ‘Your eminence, shall ... | The crows have flocked to the battle field. So many crows feasting on the dead of both sides, some of them look so fat I'm not even sure if they can still fly. Not like they need to, they have enough food to last 10 lifetimes.
We aren't sure why the invaders haven't bombed us from orbit. Some argue that they ecolog... | 2018-08-26T09:28:25 | 2018-08-26T07:45:03 | 14 | 10 |
[WP] The world's most powerful leaders enter cryostasis as the world is on the brink of ecological collapse, planning to return when stability is assured. Hundreds of years later they are woken to stand trial. "The world was fixed while these men slept. An apology will not suffice". | "You were our leaders. Leaders of Government. Corporations. Military. Leaders in power, in wealth, in combat. You were supposed to *lead*. Be examples that we should aspire to. But the people grew tired of your corruption. Your greed. Your warmongering. So you were tricked into leaving of your own free will. We used yo... | When you arrived at the excavation site you were really hoping it to be a career-defining moment. You knew these kind of discoveries are the ones that could earn you lifetime prestige in the archeology circles. Usually archeologists change the understanding of our past, to change the world of today was a whole other st... | 2019-02-03T20:24:27 | 2019-02-03T20:11:49 | 1,678 | 332 |
