"And you've been a bad boy, Adolf," I whispered in his ear. "I'm here to punish you."

She looked up, into the eyes of the zombie that had bitten her. Slowly, its bloody eyes cleared up. Its irises turned from dirty yellow to a bright shade of blue.
"You're - human," she said, before passing out. A mob of zombies descended on the woman, tearing at her... | The skin around the bite mark turned an awful shade of dark blue.

[WP] the damned souls in hell crowded near the entrance, and Satan himself is at the gates. They are all awaiting the arrival of a unique soul -- the first man since Biblical times who was killed by God Himself. | The buzz was real, the hell was upside down, and Satan was pacing back and forth restless.

[WP] You've been cursed. Every lie you tell bends reality to become the truth. At first this didn't seem like a curse at all, but now you've made a grave mistake. | It was a curse I was born with. Unlucky as I was, I rather thought it to be a gift, a blessing. I could lie my way out of anything and I would still be alright. It was infallible, since reality changed with my words. I cured my smoking and drug addictions with my assertion. Literally everything and anything could be be... | It was a gift, of sorts. Any lie I tell changes the reality around me so it becomes truth.

[WP] The "violent videogames teach you how to use a gun" thing is true for you. Literally. Everything you learn in videogames, you can do in real life as well. You realize you have that power when you drink an energy drink after a bad injury and you find yourself completely healed. | I remember the end of my life. I lay in my bed, surrounded by family and friends, rattled my last breath, and closed my eyes. After that... blackness.

[WP] You always greet your mum with a code phrase that she would complete because you used to be afraid that someone would replace her when you were little. One day you say the phrase to her and she responds with, "Hmm? What are you talking about?" | Me and my mother shared a code word. It was almost an in-joke, but one that everyone knew. It was silly and maybe a bit childish but it was a reminder to me that no matter how bad it got, she would always be there at the end of the day to greet me. Days of wanting to be a spy eventually gave way to a simple word that t... | At every visit, we’d greet each other with the same code. I’d walk in and say “413,” and she’d reply, “607.” It was an old code from a forgotten era just before flip phones and blackberries. Way back when people texted each other with pagers.

[WP] Jesus has come down from the heavens, but is actually just a chill guy. He is sitting and talking to fans in your city but when you walk to see the savior his relaxed expression fades and is replaced with smugness and at the same time anger. He looks at you and calmly goes, “Ah, the Antichrist” | “What are you talking about?” I ask, looking behind to see about a thousand people staring at me like I had just been found guilty for killing all the saints.
I wish I had not looked back, though, because everyone just started shouting straight-up horrific words.
“Kill him!”

[WP] Whenever you speak, people hear you speaking in their native language. Most people are surprised and delighted. The cashier at McDonalds you've just talked to is horrified. "Nobody's spoken that language in thousands of years." | The cashier in front of me froze, his eyes narrowing. I'd read books where the author described someones eyes as being calculating, but I thought I could actually see him doing math. Weighing variables, probabilities and even analyzing a threat.

The swirling void took me by surprise, really. The crimson red eyes of the cashier, not so much. I'd seen it before, I thought. Glimpses and glances, really; bad punctuation as a coda to the overbearing sentence of ordering a Whopper.

[WP] A medieval village makes a human sacrifice to a werewolf that lives in the woods every year. This year they picked you, which is very awkward considering you're the werewolf.
Edit: Wow, did not expect one of my posts to blow up this much. I'm speechless. | A sigh.
It was the best reaction I could muster, and it did not fit the role of the dying. My mother and father had been trying all day to console me, to apologise for their role in the yearly lottery, as though they could’ve felt my name about to be chosen and stopped the inevitable. I did not blame them— I could no... | The hardest part of being chosen, other than the part of being a human entree, was saying goodbye to the village.

[WP] "Death is a gentle thing if you welcome it, like a soft breeze or a bashful kiss." - "Then what's the scythe for?" - "The people who resist." | And at this, I stopped.
"So... we *can* resist."
And though the toothy grin remained, it's smile was gone. "**Ah. Cunning. But clever wheat is still just wheat...**"
But as it swung the glittering edge at me, I heard, as if through deep water- "Charging to 200 Joules. Clear!"

On the brink of death, you finally shape-shifted......into an otherworldly creature. | Stormlights tormented the skies, teasing, needling and gouging the crooks, the crannies of deepest horizon with pitchforks of blue and white.

[WP] Demons have to do at least one evil thing every day to survive. This one comes to your bakery everyday to buy bread for the homeless kids and steal exactly one cookie. | I closed the shop for the night, and as I retire into my quarters.. a cracking sound radiated through the air.

[WP]The Suit is powerfull. A mech for some, body armor for others, always unique to each person who wore it. Those who wear it, hear the words "not original user, booting basic mode" As a joke, your sergeant gives you The Suit and the first thing you hear is: "User detected: Welcome back, Commander" | \[User Detected.

Phil looked at his commanding NCO with a look of wide-eyed surprise. "You hearing this shit, Sarge?"

Unofficially, you're one of the strongest beings on the planet that is secretly employed to "train" fledgling heroes by giving them an easy first real fight.

The message was clearly sent from elsewhere in our universe, from outside of our solar system. | The dusty screen flashed to life.

But, then the ones and zeros poured in. Not a long signal, but enough to send us reeling. Some thought it was... | Elisa hurries through the hall, shedding papers from the heavy stack in her arms.

[WP] You are sitting in the longest traffic jam in human history. It has been going on for decades and grown a culture of its own. Describe your life in "The Jam" | I was born here. This is all I know. My folks say that when they joined Jam95 that they were upset and wanted it to end. They wanted to leave it! I don't believe them. Why would they want to leave? All of my friends are here. The government brings us everything we need. My mother is especially skilled at combining diff... | From a door set into the thick plastic wall comes a crate. Chev grabs it and begins unpacking.

[WP] Your Xbox Live friend is God. Unfortunately he's not very good at video games. | **"You know, I really don't know why you want to play such a violent game all the time. Isn't there anything nicer you want to play?"**

"What was that?"

[WP] The aliens have arrived however they are not here for war. Instead after reading our broadcast of the United States Constitution they want to join as the 51 state and have brought a small planetoid into orbit to serve as the 51 state. | "How many are migrating to Cydonia?"
"Over a million, sir."
High in the sky, the fifty-first state floated in orbit of Earth. When extraterrestrials first made themselves known, many feared interplanetary war. What came afterward, was quite unexpected.

As with all over-hyped marketing campaigns, its creators promised that this one would ... | Plastic, and plastic-like polymers. Chewed, eaten away at like a phone in a microwave. Turning black, bubbling, gooey and stretched like cheese on a pizza. Then a burst of pus would surface, spilling like a ruptured cyst. The material would collapse in on itself, imploding into strands of molten polymer. That came late... | 2016-08-22T13:19:50 | 2016-08-22T12:27:19 | 188 | 23 |
