[WP] The hero stared at the boy who was supposed to be his wise old master. "Word of advice. If you ever achieve immortality then wait till you're at least 20", he said in a high pitched voice. | The boy reclined in one of the swamp pools that formed at the base of the tree of ancients. His proportions seemed alien to the hero, long gangly limbs, slender fingers longer than the hero's arms. His face a porous mess of craters upon craters. "You're to be my master" said the Hero.
" I am," cracked the voice of the... | “Hello,” said a squeaky voice from afar. In the distance a small boy clothed in a wizards gown approached. I stared at him quizzically. “Word of advice. If you want immortality, wait till your at least 20” he said gazing up at me. He turned around and motioned for me to follow.

[WP] When you reach the age of 21, you are given a check from the government. The check has been carefully calculated and is worth the minimum amount of money you need for the rest of your life. Your check came in the mail today and it was $7.27

After years of compliance, you decide to go through the steel door... | She stood in front of the door, arms crossed, tapping her fingers impatiently. At the tender age of sixteen, she was experiencing a rather heavy bout of teenage rebellion. The television programs that played on the flatscreen in living room reminded her it was just a phase. The restless feeling would pass, and that one... | I stood in front of the steel door. The note told me not to leave, and I had always complied.

[WP] Your job was to clean and repair the messes heroes and villains leave in the aftermath of their fights. It's not a glorious job, but you still took some pride in it. So when the media called you an over-glorified janitor, you took offense and decided to stop working. | I crumpled the lab results in my hand. Earlier in the week I received an envelope full of powder in the mail. As I was about to open it when I noticed that there was the sound of something powdery inside as I moved it. Most of my mail recently has been hate mail. Thank you, Karen Clarks. I wasn't really promoting any ... | "Let me be clear," I said to the beautiful caped man on the couch beside me, "it's not that being a janitor would, like, be bad. It's just... the way that, like, she said it, y'know?"

[WP] Every morning you wake up with small wounds; just little scrapes and bruises you attribute to flailing in your sleep. This morning, you woke up with a huge cut across your hip, a glowing golden dagger plunged into the wall, and what looks an awful lot like a dead angel on your floor. | Sooner or later it was bound to happen. I just didn't expect them to use such means to try and kill me.
The night before had gone as close to normally as I would ever get. I was sitting at the bar surveying the crowd, a class of amaretto sour in my hand. She walked up to me, an attractive blonde with a fairly curvy... | ...and something was rattling in the closet.

[WP] Two warriors engage in battle. One with the power to move superhumanly fast, and the other with the ability to slow down time. They're both a little confused when it seems like their powers don't seem to be working. | I was supposed to be meeting a client when they arrived in my alley.

“We’ve been following the trail led by your contacts for months. They ratted you out, and we have you cornered!” Said the bold one i... | There was nothing but the cold darkness at first.

[WP] Every person in the world undergoes a "goodness" test. It's designed to give a score from 1 to 200, where 1 is pure evil, and 200 is an angel in human body. Then the world is divided into 200 zones, where people can live among their own kind. | The man in the black suit reshuffled the papers on his desk. "Well, I must say this is highly unusual.

All the moisture in my body seemed to have move... | The worlds capital city was a huge, walled masterpiece named 'Virtue' to echo its extreme moral standards.

I checked around either side of the machine for Nero imports to insert... | I've heard of the stories of course, lucky people who found dank memes.

Even more disturbing is the fact that some worlds appeared to have died extremely recently, down to days before human arrival | Val smiled as she flew in the dark emptiness, gossamer wings collecting the tiny drops of honey cast off by the distant sun.

[WP] "You fool!" cackled the Dark One, "No man can kill me!" "But I am no man!" bellowed the hero, as he unhinged his jaw. A grotesque sound filled the hall as they hacked up impossibly large balls of cloth. Unfurling, they stand and announce "For we are actually three trench coats in a halfling!" | Time takes a lot out of you, so when you've lived as long as I have it only becomes even more true by the day.

Some great ones fall to such meager things as illness... | The Dark Lord’s first reaction was, surprisingly, mirth. He thought the heroes had simply misspoken.

It's not my fault all those deaths were attributed to me, I just gave the order to push the damned button and be done with the stupid war.

What is it this time..." The officer looked through his papers, "Murder. On stage. During an act?" His confusion came clearer with each word. "Perhaps you can shine some light for me. Start from the beginning."
The light on me was intense, but nothing compare... | 2020-08-21T13:29:19 | 2020-08-21T13:12:06 | 46 | 18 |
[WP] you wake up and realized you skipped a day, everything in your house is organized, since then you always switch bodies with this friendly entity that does your tasks for a day, until one day your windows are barricaded and theres blood on your hands and a note "You must hide" | Since I was very young, I learned to not talk about him. Everyone had imaginary friends, but at some point, you learn they’re supposed to be as real as Santa Claus or the tooth fairy. Most people grow out of it quite early, but I didn’t. I mean, what else could it be? How else would I explain things?
This friend of mi... | I am only awake half the time. No I dont mean that I sleep 12 hours a day smartass. I mean every other day I switch out. He calls himself Ra. I think its based off the egyptian myths. I cant really comunicate with him other then with notes. Most of those he simply ignores.
Ra prefers doing the things that loathe, whic... | 2019-10-14T21:22:22 | 2019-10-14T21:10:09 | 40 | 17 |
[WP] When you die, you are given the chance to flip a coin. If you call the toss correctly, you are allowed to keep living, while resetting to the age of your choice. You've been doing this for a couple centuries now. Death is starting to get pretty pissed. | “Well look who’s back again, if it isn’t the luckiest man alive” Death says sarcastically as I approach the table.
“I really hope not” I reply as I pick up the coin.
“Come on now, most people are happy to get a second chance” Retorts Death with a laugh
“I was cool with the second chance, even the third, but this is ... | "Call it" Death said, the coin twirling between his bony fingers.
"Do we really need to keep going through this charade?" I asked.
How long had it been now? 500 lives? The first time I went through, I expected reincarnation, but life... or I guess Death, was not so kind. I got to relive life from the point I cho... | 2016-09-23T11:33:36 | 2016-09-23T08:47:36 | 28 | 15 |
[WP] Genie: aah, that's... an unusual wish, are you sure?... I mean, it's doable but... you sure you don't want something else? Like richness, or eternal life? Cos this is going to... and all the paperwork. But ok, if that's your wish, well, your wish has been granted | "So you're wish is to willingly take the genie's place?"
I answered without hesitation. "Yep!"
The mysterious, otherworldly entity that claimed to be the genie's boss stood before me, giving me a variety of expressions to indicate his confusion. The creature held a terrifying appearance, a tall silhouette shrouded in... | 'Hey Genie, how long is this gonna take man.'
'Listen fool, by the time you leave this cave your wish would come into effect and even I will not be able to reverse the change so I beg you to change it.'
'This is the greatest wish Genie and I will go down in history. MUHAHAHAHHAHAHA.'

[WP] Tired of being trounced by overleveled heroes, the Evil Lord concocts a new plan - complete the townsfolks’ side quests before the heroes can. | As the town clock struck midnight, a black shadow swept over the bulletin board that stood in the center of town. By the time the clock had stopped, the shadow had disappeared ... along with all the papers that had been on the board before.
On a hill overlooking the town, the shadow paused, pushing the hood of her cl... | However then the Evil Lord realizes that he can just kill the townspeople and then there will be no quests. A second devious plan also begins to brew in the Lord's head. After all, the townspeople cant fight half as well a sthe party. An undead army marches into the city.

[WP] Heaven and Hell are only so prevalent because they paid for Ad time. Tell me about one of the more obscure after-death locations. | “Where am I? What happened?”
“Welcome to the afterlife. I regret to inform you that you died. You need not regret it yourself, because death is just a stop on life’s journey.”
“Am I in Heaven then? Or Hell? Maybe Purgatory?”
“There are no such places. This is all there is, and everyone comes here. I am your counsell... | "And here it is Mike! Whatcha think? I decorated it myself" Death said with a low but belly-filled chuckle.
"What the *Hell is this?? This is just... what? A 6 foot by 10 foot office space? What even is this decoration? It's just a picture of you holding a cat similar to those weird portraits back in the 18th century... | 2017-03-06T10:24:14 | 2017-03-06T10:15:11 | 134 | 12 |
[WP] Your tech-illiterate grandmother somehow broke into a top-secret government database while trying to get "the Google".
Or any other mundane/misconstrued task related to computers. Have fun with this one. | "So, Grandma! Tell me stories from when you were my age!" I said, trying to act excited. She always told me the same three stories when I visited her, but it made her happy.
"Well, you see, Tom-"
She was cut off by the scream of a man who'd entered the wrong octave. Glass shattered, wood splintered and men in black a... | Grandma was a nice woman, but she is so stupid when it comes to tech. I mean she calls Google "the Google" for fucks sake. One day she calls me over to her house, trying to get on "the Google". I get in her house, she serves me chocolate chip cookies(thankfully it didn't have rat turds this time), and we go to her upst... | 2016-04-30T10:14:00 | 2016-04-30T07:59:47 | 1,462 | 14 |
[WP]The great library of Alexandria held perhaps the greatest collection of literary works in human history, but within its walls something was held that was so dangerous that, when discovered, Caesar, Aurelian, and Amr ibn al `Aas decided it was worth losing the endless knowledge to destroy it. | **Part 2 coming soon. Feel free to browse my other works while you wait at /r/leoduhvinci**
"What do you mean, there is no author?" Demanded Caesar, brandishing a fresh scroll above his head. Twenty soldiers flanked him as he cornered the librarian, a frail, thin man with an even thinner hairline. He leaned on a wa... | **If you enjoyed this, check out my longer form writing at /r/JacksonWrites**

The old man had returned from the yearly pilgrimage into the high mountains, and despite the fanfare which customarily greeted his return, he had remained morose and had withered without food. ... | An old man travels the road once a year with his faithful travel companion. It's a long and hard journey. As the years go by the travel has become more difficult and takes twice as long as it did when he was a man of twenty.
The man takes a long hard look at his long ago triumph. He turns to his old friend the dog by ... | 2017-11-29T21:35:59 | 2017-11-29T20:24:45 | 3,087 | 46 |
[WP] Alien travelers stopped at Earth to refuel and consult humans in exchange. An allien consulting an astronomer finds a picture of a black hole on her computer. "Oh, you also scare your children with this tale haha". "No, it's a recent photo" she replies. Alien is visibly freaking out. | Have been reading WP for a while. This is my first attempt at writing something for here. Feel free to critique as it is the only way I will improve.

"It's the most recent image taken of a Black Hole" the astronomer replied.

[WP] You just let a hungry-looking couple into your home to feed them. As you go to turn off the TV, you hear, “under no circumstances should you answer the door today. They are not what they seem. And whatever you do, don’t let them inside...” | I set the hungry couple down in my den and hurried to my kitchen. It had been a very long time indeed since unexpected guests had arrived, and it mattered not to me that I didn't even know their names. I began drawing the water for a proper tea and leaned over to turn off the telly. Fingers on the button, and I heard, ... | "Where is the sugar?"
My heart jumped from the couch and landed somewhere distant on the carpet. A curse to god sneaked past as I straightened myself. The man gleaned at me from the kitchen.
