The day the portals opened, everything changed. No one knew where they came from, who made them, or how they worked. (I have a theory, but I'll get to that later.)

总有一个天天缺水喝，
跟头水牛似的，
喝多少都嫌渴。
每天除了逛淘宝，买买买
永远... | John growls, prodding his stick of chalk at Colin, in almost worrying proximity to his smart navy suit. Grimacing as thoughts of what it would cost him to wash it fill his brain, Colin jumps backwards, his hands instantly flying up to brush imaginary chalk dust from his shirt.
"Now calm down, I was only making a propo... | 2017-05-23T09:31:22 | 2017-05-23T06:30:08 | 18 | 10 |
[WP] The Humans are..interesting. Their weaponry is ancient, but their warriors are nearly unstoppable. | The simulated battle ended and the abducted human soldier slumped with fatigue and confusion, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings of the holodeck.
"What happened with the sim? Why was the human able to withstand so many waves of enemies?" the Thakdarian commander demanded of his scientists, slamming his second and ... | -- Archaeological Records office, document A090BE4C10 --

[WP] Write a seemingly normal story, except for the last sentence, which makes the entire story creepy | I pressed the square button again, sniping the guy hiding on top of the hut that had been taking out my team for the past half hour. It had taken me too long to find him, but I finally got him. The fact that his insults changed from sucking his anatomy to doing inappropriate things to my mom told me I got the right guy... | It was the toughest race of my life. The water was everywhere. Many of my friends were already dead, but I knew if I kept going I could make it. I could feel everything around me get softer the more I continued. I was drenched but I wasn't going to give up, not this close to the end. I finally felt the air on my skin. ... | 2016-05-19T13:02:55 | 2016-05-19T12:45:26 | 203 | 70 |
[WP] Humanity discovers that supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves exist. Instead of attempting to exterminate them, some countries attempt to offer them lucrative jobs that they could do better than a human. | Kohl took another bullet, this one leaving a deep mark on his chest. Black ooze quickly began to seep out at the entry wound, marking his undershirt and windbreaker with yet another foul smelling stain. It was a nice windbreaker, too. He had received it roughly one hundred and twenty six minutes ago from a pleasant fie... | The man looked at me with incredulity painted on his face. It was very clear that whatever he'd expected, I wasn't it. Wearing a tailored suit, handmade Italian shoes and carrying a rosary around my neck. And then there was the icy blue skin, the black eyeballs and the red irises

[WP] When you’re 28, science discovers a drug that stops all effects of aging, creating immortality. Your government decides to give the drug to all citizens under 26, but you and the rest of the “Lost Generations” are deemed too high-risk. When you’re 85, the side effects are finally discovered. | You know, there have always been rumors on side\-effects and how EverLife squashed anyone trying to do any kind of study on them. Not really surprising seeing how rich they all got, and how every single politician's life depended on EverLife's continued existence.
The first two generations didn't really show it that m... | Magic does not give its boon without a sacrifice. The greater the request, the greater the price.
Not that we realized it was magic at first. We all know how indistinguishable it is from sufficiently advanced science, especially when you don't believe in magic. Especially when men in lab coats tell you it's the fruit ... | 2018-06-05T00:30:12 | 2018-06-04T23:51:46 | 25 | 11 |
[WP] Every human has a 'luck rating' - a number from 1-100 that defines how lucky they can be. Born with a rating of 100, you're confined in a maximum security prison. You think your luck should get you out easily - that is, until you see that all the other inmates also have luck ratings of 100. | They told me I was lucky. My whole life they said that the stat assessment showed I was one of the luckiest people alive with a score of 100. I swore it wasn’t true. If I had been lucky, why was I born to a poor family? I never got to play games of chance, since those were forbidden to luck score 100s.
Then the revol... | It was all a bit ludicrous, actually...the g-men in their black suits with automatic weapons, the excessive security. The deep elevator that went down level after level to a giant vault door to where they kept us. Nuclear waste wasn't buried as deep as we were. We were the "lucky one-hundreds". The ones with unbelieva... | 2018-06-29T12:50:06 | 2018-06-29T11:26:29 | 41 | 22 |
[WP] You wake up in hell.
You don't know how you died but you wake up in hell. Describe hell. | I open my eyes, expecting to see demons dancing around me ; pitchforks in hand, muttering some demonic song or curse.
But there is none.
As far as I can see, everything is white and silent.
I am alone in hell, if this is hell.
I stand up, from where I had found myself lying on the cold floor. Suddenly I see that it... | The morning sunlight gently glides down onto my face, warming it. Birds chirp gently, beckoning for me to awake, but I can't, I must not. I know where I am. The only place in this world that is my hell. I smell pancakes cooking down below and the chirpy call of an old lady sounding my name, I cannot resist, I must go... | 2013-10-31T11:54:46 | 2013-10-31T10:13:24 | 322 | 18 |
[WP] Due to a genie mixup, you DON'T have immortality, but "IM mortality," which is Latin for "999 lives." Since you'll still age normally, you live a very reckless life - you have lives to spare. | All things considered, I think I got a better deal. After all, who would want to live forever? Certainly not me.
The wish I made was the wish of a young man, one who had never known loss - *true* loss- before in his life.
Forever is a hell of a long time. It only took a few years after I made the wish for me to rea... | *Always be as specific as possible.*
The warning echoed through my mind. It usually did at times like these. Was I really to blame? I’d never seen another receive their Gift, in fact that was part of the mystery, but surely I wasn’t the first to mess up.
I had been standing in The Guildhall two years ago when I recei... | 2018-06-21T13:26:11 | 2018-06-21T12:43:46 | 439 | 50 |
[WP] After death, you find out that you can choose how and when to be reincarnated. Initially eager to be a futuristic human, you soon realize that every (more experienced) soul ahead of you in line is choosing to be a "worm" in the year 121 million BCE. | "You hungry?" it asked.
I realized I wasn't. "No," I answered.
It nodded - that much I could glean, hazy outline that it was.
"Sit with the implications for a minute," it continued. "I could ask a bunch of similar questions, but, well. Yeah."
It gave me a few moments. I did my best. I wasn't hungry, or thirsty, or ... | Wrong Lever
As I watched the others transcend to that primordial hell, I began to reconsider. What did they know that I didn't? As I took each small, eternal step towards the dock, I decided -jist this once - I would follow the crowd; after all, how long could a worms life be? When my time came I entered the transpir... | 2021-02-06T02:14:24 | 2021-02-06T01:45:16 | 890 | 80 |
[WP] It worked! You travelled back in time to Renaissance Age. Jokingly, you turn on your Wi-Fi, only to find a password protected network named "iɔniV ɒᗡ" | I walk around with my phone out trying to find the source. The people in the streets are visibly uncomfortable and I hear them mumble about "Black magic". Finally I have a full signal and I look up from my phone. Before me stands a larger building than most.
I knock on the and at first, nothing. I knock again and I h... | I traveled back in time
I don't know how to rhyme
My phone doth on me
Hmmm now let us see
Is there any Wi-Fi?
How silly...Oh My
Who is this Da Vinci Fellow?
I hope his temperament be mellow

[WP] You are a Genie. The last time someone let you out of your lamp was over 100 years ago. But today is a new day, and somebody finally rubbed the lamp! However, this man seems to be a member of a terrorist group called ISIS, so you get creative with how you grant his wishes. | "You have rubbed my lamp and now I will grant you three wishes. Choose wisely and be .. a .... happy... " The standard words rolling out of my mouth faltered as i looked around. A single light bulb hanging from the ceiling threw a dingy glow on a dingy space. Pieces of shiny metal and dynamite littered every horizont... | "You have to say the magic words..." The Genie was bound to correct.
"Okay, okay I wish for: Death to all infidels!" Akmed produced proudly.
"As you wish," said the Genie, conjuring a sign.

The 1 ticked over.

[WP] "I'll cut you a deal," said the villain to the hero. "You walk away from this and I will too. Let's see what these idiots do on their own." | “Good morning.” The Villain said, “It’s a lovely morning, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it sure is.” I replied.
We hovered in the air alone. The people running beneath looked like scuttling ants, too busy to care about what happens in the sky. They were what drew me to the town. Everyone here just had that tough, weather-worn l... | "Think about it Batty!" Joker said with a grin. "We've been serving this city for way too long. Me, terrorizing every corner of the city. And you, running around in your little cape trying to save every god damn moron"
"THEY ARE NOT MORONS!" Batman yelled.
