She was weaned from the mothers breast, but the parents could not find a food the girl would not spit up immediately.
Frightened, the parents took Marissa ... | “Push Mrs. Williamson Push now!”
The would-be first time mother screamed and pushed, and finally her baby was in the world.
“It’s a Girl!” Smiled the doctor’s assistant. The new mother sobbed with happiness. She held her baby for many minutes before they took her away to be cleaned and have further vitals checked.

[WP] New arrivals in eternal Hell may choose either of the following: a small wooden spoon, or a 100-trillion year vacation in Heaven. | "So it's meant to be, what, an agonizing choice?

[WP]You realize you've misheard your daughter. There's actually a mobster under her bed. | "Muuuuuuum! Daaaaaaaaaaaad!" Ivy screams as she bursts through my door. I jolt straight up and look at her, her Dora the Explorer pajamas stained with urine down the leg. "There is a mobster under my bed!"

[WP] You are a minion in the service of a dark lord. Your master has tasked you with creating and spreading a prophecy about a chosen one, the only person who can defeat him, so that the so-called "heroes" will stop resisting his rule and instead wait for their savior to arrive. | Many years ago, I had a conversation with a man from another plane, one without dragons or warlocks, with a white star that lit their days and a single moon, and he told me a story. He explained his job was much like mine, to serve a master in exchange for currency, and that seemed to me somewhat unsurprising, to find ... | I used to be a charlatan before meeting the master. Tricked many a man into giving me the contents of his purse, or leaving me alone ("guarding") their riches, and got a hefty amount of coin trought my life.

[WP] "Welcome. You're dead. Congrats. Door to Heaven's on the left. Door to Hell is on the right. Go ahead and pick, but just know that the decision is final." The figure sitting at the desk spoke, stifling a yawn and not looking up from their book. | “What does dead mean sir?” Standing on the tip of my toes and looking over the man’s desk.
Sighing, the man looked down at the small child before him. “It means you are a ghost.”
The child froze up at the mention of ghost and looked around. She hugged his blanket securely. Tears started forming in her eyes, threaten... | “But...which do I choose...?” I asked, not realizing that this is what I would find on the other side.

The children are hushed but they still point and shriek.
“The well! The cursed well! The stranger will get the curse!”
Admonishing their children, but thinking thoughts along the same lines, the parents are too busy to stop the stranger. Those not laboured with young rush to intercede.

[WP] When the zombie virus broke out, you were prepared. You quickly became the country's #1 zombie hunter - until science found the antidote to the virus that turns zombies into healthy humans again, retroactively making you the #1 mass murderer. | One 9mm pistol and uncountable rounds of ammunition, those are what I used to defend myself. A water purifier, cases upon cases of canned food, and a beat up Ford pick up, those are what I used to survive. 10,000 lives, those are the people I killed. During the worst of the outbreak, I was a hero. Now that there's a cu... | I'd be lying if I said that I can justify it to myself.

Turns out, they invented Welcome mats to bypass this rule decades ago. | My parents were the sort of people who bought me a welcome mat as a house warming gift when I finally struck it out on my own. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against welcome mats, they're fine. They're the sort of thing that you don't buy when you first move into a new place. So, it's not like I had one already.

[WP] Out of sheer boredom, God decides that us humans must speak the brutal and honest truth no matter the consequences. The absolute excrement hits the metaphorical fan for twenty four hours straight. | "Mom you're such a colossal bitch to literally everybody, I have no idea how we're related."
"And I blame you for ruining my life and if you weren't around I'd have divorced your father years ago."

[WP] "Enough! Is there anyone here who DIDN'T come to rob the bank?" | Too many groups had shown up to the bank, far too many. A brawl had broken out between a gang of old English accountants calling themselves 'The Corporate Raiders' and a trio of cudgel armed lunatics in red robes and wide brimmed hats shouting in fake Spanish accents. Several men dressed as Orthodox Jews had come here ... | A few moments ago it was a normal, dull and monotone day at the bank. Customers going in, and later out. The smell of the ink and the familiar clicking of all those chained pens.
But now, there was a standoff.

[WP] At the age of 18, people are given one superpower of their choice. While your friends and acquaintances choose super strength, flight, invisibility, telekinesis, they make fun of you for your “nerd” power.

[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. | I think it's been 15,000 years. Or at least, somewhere around that. I'm not really sure. I haven't left the house in a few millennia at least. There's no point. All I end up doing is scaring a few people, and death goes on. Besides, no matter where I go, it's crowded.

[WP] The girl you sit next to in class turns out to be a mind-reader, and she's surprised that you don't have a crush on her. | Its the first day of university this semester and so far my classes have been pretty tame. Compared to the four lectures and two labs I had, barely scraping by those classes with a low B, I relax with my workload of two classes and a lab. Thank god these courses are almost over. I'm going to miss general education..... | Just to be sure, I moved the chair back another few millimetres. It was delicate work, and harder than most would understand. Well no one would understand, let’s face it. How could anyone comprehend the effort of moving an object – even if it was just a chair – using only your mind?

[WP] You're a professional world maker. You make worlds and sell them to scientists to test their theories on. However, your last client returned a world because it was aware of your world's existence and started to break the container. | "To make a world is to exist within it.

Others appreciate that this quality makes humans the foremost experts on safety systems and idiot proofing. | Every species contributed something special and unique to the federation, every single one except for these humans.

[WP] During a bank heist gone wrong, you ended up taking a stray shotgun slug through your heart. That was 20 minutes ago, and the fact that you haven’t died yet is as concerning to you as it is to everyone else around you. | I felt the slug make impact, penetrate my chest, and embed itself deep within my heart. I felt my legs give out, unresponsive to my pleas to run. As I fell to the ground, I had but one thought: *Who’s the self-aggrandizing drama queen NOW Karen?*
In those seconds, my life flashed before my eyes. Well, some parts di... | ''F come and take a look at his wound again.’’ Richard shouts at Frank.

[WP] Aliens arrive on Earth, but not for sinister purposes like colonization or waging war on us. They’re just so darn excited to see other life forms in the universe! | “But what does it *eat*?”
The otherworldly creature they were observing was only one of five that had arrived in the middle of the night. A rocket ship, not unlike those NASA sent into space, had landed in an open field beside a gas station near the interstate. The attendant’s pleas to 911 would have been laughed off ... | It's the year 2082. First contact with extraterrestrials has occurred.

[WP] You, a low rank adventurer who got stuck with the gardener class, have to put up with the higher ranked adventures trampling your garden and making fun of you. One day a famous adventurer trips on one of your plants and dies. Your level skyrockets. No other gardener has ever leveled up before. | Tabitha rested briefly after harvesting sixty carrots in the humid, virtual sun. The beads of sweat that accumulated on her forehead felt real as day, and they felt even more real when she wiped them away with the back of her hand. Her red pigtails fell to her shoulders, which was covered by a pink floral shirt and so... | Gardener. Yep. That;s my magically assigned class. Not the worst one, but obviously I am not fit to go into the world to prove my bravery. While i can just be a normal farmer, a magic class had so many possibilities that I had t cave in.

[WP] You and your spouse are fairly typical demonic overlords with a figurative/literal dark fortress, minions to command etc. The problem is your teenage child who's going through that rebellious phase; claiming that they're good, dressing in all whites and only listening to gentle hymns. | "Our daughter just put up a picture of Jesus." Lilith slithered into the throne room on her serpent's tail. Many folks thought it was I who tricked Eve into eating the apple, but it was actually my wife.

Years later, you're awkward parents send you off to university, and the "new" dark lord attacks the city and kidnaps you without realizing who your parents are. | Midsummer had been three days ago, and it showed by the fact that the districts on the lower end of thefinancial spectrum were still on fire, guessing from the smell of smoke in the air. Shame, there was a few good pubs down that way, not like I should know. Not allowed off University grounds first year. Mind you, the ... | I hadn't even finished getting through my first month at Uni, when I woke up with a severe headache. That's odd, I don't remember drinking at all.

[WP] Diagnosed with schizophrenia. Since birth, 24/7 you’ve heard the voice and thoughts of a girl that you’ve been told is made up in your head. You’re 37 and hear the voice say “turn around, did I find you?” and you turn to see a real girl who’s heard every thought you’ve ever had and vice versa. | "Turn around, did I find you?"
I froze. *What the fuck?*
"Don't be afraid."
Strangers bumped past my shoulders, struggling to get past me. Like a rock in a fast-bubbling brook, I remained fixed to the subway floor. I tried to calm my thoughts. She could hear all of them, after all.
But curiosity and sheer impulse ... | As I lay awake in my bed, never once my own thoughts rang through my head, always those of an unfamiliar persons, I toss and turn as the voice rings clear as in my own head, "Turn around.... Did I find you?"

One day the human realizes that all of his/her friends are really the same person. | I had not always been called this name, Eve.

When one had lived more than a millenium, decades began to blur together. Few people lingered in my mind. I... | The shapeshifter doesn't remember it's origin. It's been here for far too long.

[WP] The day you die, Death comes and asks if you are ready to go. Jokingly, you say no. To your surprise, he leaves. Now every year he comes back to ask again | I died choking on lunch in my office. Ironic, because we’d just spent the Friday two weeks ago going over CPR and first aid procedures, but obviously that didn’t do much good. I suppose I could have done more to help myself - I have my own office, so there was no one there to see me clutching at my throat. I could have... | The blaring horn, the terrible noise of metal screeching against metal, the flash of lights, the pain.

[WP] At the age of 18, everyone picks an unlikely life event. They will be reborn at 18 every time they die until that event happens. After that, death is permanent.
Example - Winning a lottery jackpot. Statistically, they would die in 22 plane crashes in a row before winning the Mega Millions jackpot. | See, most people try to live forever, but that ends one of two ways: they don't or they wish they didn't.

[WP] You're a biologist who made a deal with the devil: eternity in hell after death in return for unlimited funding for your research. The funding was worth it, you discovered immortality, and the devil is not happy about this. | It was late at night. I was hard at work in my lab when I heard his voice.
“So you found a loophole.”
I never even broke my gaze away from my work. I knew it was him and I knew what he wanted. “So I did. Lucky break, I guess.”
“Is that how you see it? Because I see it as stacking the deck.” He spun me around to face... | To spite the devil even further, Dr. Jamos Wikheusen spent a very small fraction of his now limitless life spreading this "cure" to all humans, thereby eliminating all causes of natural death, and severely decreasing the number of newcomers arriving to hell.

As you pull up to the location you finally get to learn why. | I got to the address an hour early, afraid I might miss the most important ticket of my life.
It was a side street in the Valley, in an area that almost surely must be considered “unincorporated.” It was an empty lot where perhaps there was once a Denny’s or a Yum-Yum Donuts, across from an abandoned auto shop that h... | I glanced down at the instructions once more, making sure I had the right street before turning into Putney Vale Cemetery. I hated cemeteries on a good day, but the rain just made it worse. Turning off the engine, I tried to clear some of the steam off my windows to look for my passenger.

Each time it asked the question, it ignored my answer, then s... | It was, entertaining, to say the least.
The big "Fuck" as we here called it was here for 3 months. 92 days exactly. The sky twisted, clouds cried and mountains burned as it crashed into our now desolate orbit.

[WP] "Fool!" The warlock screamed, unharmed from any of the slashes. "The prophecy had stated that no human may slay me!" The unchosen warrior stared at their blade. The sword wasn't human, was it? | "Wait, what?" the noble knight said and stared at his blade - he was told it was of the highest quality and... the logic checked out.
"No man can slay me, fool!" the warlock laughed.
"But this is a sword."
The warlock stared at the knight for a moment, lost for words. "Y-yes, yes it is."
"The sword is not a human,"... | All those years spent in my mother's basement, sweating and crying and shouting into that dark abyss of the soul: they had all been worth it. Finally my destiny had been fulfilled. I had become a sword.

Just an idea that randomly popped up in my head.... | "Next!" shouted Lugia.

[WP] The galaxy is actually full of life and advanced civilizations. Everyone just leaves Earth alone because that's where The Great Old Ones are imprisoned, and nobody wants to wake them up. | No one told us.

I'm just as weirded out as you are when it comes to this.

According to him-- and this was confirmed by mom-- not one person in the family was surprised when f... | The words flashed red, the letters engraving themselves into my skin.

"It gets lonely piloting out here in this great expanse of nothing-at-all, but I then I guess you already know and to be honest I imagine it's pretty lonely everywhere, really. The universe is tired, cold, finished. It gave up on all this a long time ago, and now there's nothing left but Time.

The pilot could've been sleeping, except for his eyes. They stared straight ahead, at the door of the spaceship.

[WP] You just begun a master's program at the world's most prestigious wizarding university. It's awful. Professors, seeing you as a threat to their career, keep trying to kill you. Your academic supervisor is an maniacal necromancer. Worst of all, you lied about being a wizard.

[WP] Any time a baby is born in Antarctica, the baby gains immortality. | I ran to the helicopter, holding my wife's hand the entire way. A landing crew member rushed us on. The landing crew member left us and went back to the helipad station.

"Yes! Go!" yelled my wife.
I looked at my wife.

[WP] Your ability to see people's age in years as an invisible number above their heads has made you the perfect bouncer. One day you see a four digit number. | I stood outside the bar, hearing laughter and chatting from the warm interior.

[WP] Write a story in which the last line is a common phrase, such as, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," but when we get to that line, it should have a totally different meaning from the common one. | We all knew that it would happen one day. When I was a kid, there were movies about it. Some called it a singularity and they said that it was bound to happen if we kept on the path we were on.
It never mattered how much we were told that our technology was taking over our lives, we always craved more. It all started ... | "No one else cares, Janette." Yuele had a genuine look of sadness as she said it, crouched down over her girlfriend. Janette tried to lean as far from Yuele as possible, her back pressing into the wall.

It weren't the worst people who ended up in hell. After all, the standards were impossibly high. Murdered somebody? Raped? Stolen? Ate shellfish? Had elastic in your cotton frilly panties? Down you go! All sins are equal for the good Lord.
Unless of course you happen to be filthy rich and connecte... | Paradise...what a load of shit.
I thought priests said heaven was perfection, the ultimate happiness as the purest souls became “one with God.” Isn’t perfection supposed to be as good as it gets?
So why are we here trying to make it more perfect? Why am I being tortured to create a better perfection when no one can p... | 2017-07-11T09:26:45 | 2017-07-11T08:46:44 | 31 | 17 |

"What am I even doing, it'... | It was the morning of the negotiations. James Kim was putting on his suit and straightening his tie in the mirror of his sterile studio pod.

[WP] You were born with the ability to see the number of lives a person has taken. Even legendary soldiers and serial killers rarely make it to triple digits. The person you just met has a lot more than three digits above their head, though. | I met Mr. 58,609, or as he called himself, Joe, at a brewery. I'd had the gift to see the deaths caused by people since I was born, and I'd become astute at reading the faces of those with numbers other than zero.

Feeler drones reported back, displaying images of the black spots spreading across its surface. Wherever the tideships went death followed. The confluence deliberated, relocation was the only option.
Three days later the star had died completely, the world was turning to ice. The hive evacuated in... | Be'zellse'ar and Hinx had a problem on their hands. Kriton was never hard to come across anywhere else in the galaxy. The Solar System on the other hand?

[WP] You are the only child of a dictator in a dystopian future. Secretly, you intend to reform society and bring an end to your family's rule upon taking power. Unfortunately, you are kidnapped by rebels before you can put any of this into action - and needless to say, the rebels don't like you. | There was once a small country between the mountains and the sea.

When the heavy stones had all been carried and carved, and the walls were standing strong, they elected priests from among themselves to sit in the towering ... | I am the only heir and I am destined to rule, but I am not going to rule like my father.

[WP] The Grim Reaper is the first human to die, and had taken it upon himself to walk the deceased to the afterlife so that they do not have to feel the loneliness he felt. | "You want to know why I do this?" He sighed and leaned back. "Ya know no one actually has to, right? Like there wasn't originally a human psychopomp."
There was the clack of a piece on the board as Zora made her play. Sweat beaded on her brow. She was glad the small talk got his eyes off her. She was a damn Go CHAMPIO... | "Are you ready?"
I had always expected the physical representation of Death to be carrying a big scythe around in black robes, or to be a devil of some sorts, or some sort gauntish figure. And yet, the entity standing in front of me calimng to be the reaper was wearing khaki pants and a blue polo.

[WP] Every human is given their lifetime supply of "luck" to be used at their will. Some choose to expend it all at once on a massive success, and live the rest of their lives with no luck, some spread it out evenly and use luck on random small events. | First ever submission, please go easy on me!
My parents hadn't even told me about the Luck until I was five, and they couldn't really hide it from me anymore. It was too big of a secret to keep from this tiny human who could now understand spellings and hushed conversations and references on TV shows.

Seeing their eyes fade as he choked their life ... | Mangled bodies lay scattered across the tiled floor of Brock's kitchen.

[WP] We are all born with a tattoo on our wrist, it reads the first sentence spoken to you by your soulmate. Your sentence: "Hey!" | It was so generic. Too generic.
I realized pretty early in life that I had to do the opposite. Upon meeting anyone new, I tried to blurt out a new random factoid. I would have gone with stock advice, but the SEC had long ago considered that insider trading.
"Hey!", she said, trying to get my attention after leaving ... | "Hey!" that's all it said. Just "hey!". It wouldn't be a big issue if it wasn't for the law that requires you to marry your soulmate. Centuries ago they figured you should marry your soulmate. And the law just stuck around.
If it just said a little bit more like "Hey! Are you alright?" or "Hey!! That's my coffee" but ... | 2017-01-09T06:57:31 | 2017-01-09T06:53:16 | 210 | 35 |
[FF] In three sentences, kill as many people as possible. No firearms, no natural disasters, no explosives, no WMDs. | [Loophole?

[WP] After witnessing a death, a young girl falls in love with the Grim Reaper. She becomes a serial killer just to see him more often. | She had been sixteen when she first saw him. He had planted a cold kiss on her mother's colorless lips after his work was completed. And tonight she would see him again, as she had once a month for the past two years. She always chose the night of the full moon. It felt more romantic that way, since the moon had been r... | I remember the first time I saw him. It was love at first sight. My uncle was dead on the floor, and he came. He pulled back his hood. I was terrified, but he had the face of an angel. His voice was calming and sweet. I vowed to see him again.

[WP]Humans are the first species to achieve interstellar travel. Not because we are smarter or more advanced than aliens, but because we are the only ones stupid and stubborn enough to try. | "But... all of our physics laws tell us that faster than light travel is impossible!"

[WP] A man hands you an object and asks you desperately to hide it from him. What is the object and why is it so important that it be hidden from him? | I'd known Kevin as long as I can remember; we grew up in the same neighbourhood, went to all the same schools, we weren't what you would consider close but we had a bond that you develop when you've known someone for that amount of time. At some point throughout the years he had gotten into some dark stuff, messed arou... | Michaelangelo's was crowded. It always was.

After all, most of us that make it up here are ... | 2022-09-24T15:10:14 | 2022-09-24T12:58:14 | 23 | 10 |
[WP] Prisoners can ask for anything for their last meal. The catch is, if it can't be provided to them, they get set free. They've asked for many things : alien egg omelette, dragon steak, the flesh of Jesus Christ, etc. The execution streak remained unbroken for decades, until today. | It was nearly sunset on death row in the Alberation system of the Galaxy. Although her 37 years on Brigdon block seemed like a lifetime, Salmma never realized the day of her sentenced death would come so fast. Her green eyes slide over the metal frames of the cell, the discolored wall that made an inappropriate figure ... | She was a born killer. The moment she snapped she turned from hero to villain in just a matter of seconds.
Thousands of people were victimized in her warpath, and she got away with it for MONTHS. That was, until she was caught, and placed on Death Row.
Now, the world had changed drastically since she had been gone, a... | 2022-07-17T19:39:13 | 2022-07-17T18:09:54 | 62 | 24 |
[WP] Dave is the first human convict to arrive in the intergalactic prison. | What surprised him the most, was how clean the facility was. Dave was no expert on prisons. The only time he had ever spent in one was a night in the drunk tank the summer after graduating high school.
"Dave, human of earth, for the crime of sexually harassing the princess of Omega 13 you are sentenced to 3 days." Th... | Dave looked at his cellmate - tall, dark and with five heads - and settled into his bunkbed. It bore some similarities to prison on Earth. Grey, graffiti on the walls, cramped spaces. Except this prison occupied an entire planet. And the graffiti was rather more creative and covered a few more languages.
"So, you're... | 2016-08-23T09:46:40 | 2016-08-23T09:06:18 | 82 | 27 |
[WP] You invent a Time Machine, but you discover that all of human history before 1980 is a lie. | This is my first time actually writing something for r/writingprompts, I hope it's okay!
Edit: I didn't realise it took two hits to make a new paragraph, so I added them in.
I thought maybe if I travelled to 1939 I could change things. Change things so nobody had to die. I think all time travellers think like that ... | The metallic beam was a regular metal beam, but it created an elliptical portal when activated that teleported objects to a different time. He had it turned off now, and thought of how easy it would be to hide this thing. "I could put it in my garage."
He calibrated it with special instruments that returned undamaged ... | 2018-04-02T09:31:41 | 2018-04-02T08:31:09 | 58 | 18 |
[WP] When the cultists forced you into the room with the eldridge abomination, they assumed that you would instantly go mad as you tried to comprehend it. However, you are a grade A idiot and instead of trying to understand how it exists, you simply accept that it does, much to everyone' shock. | “Behold, They Whose Breath Shakes the World!” One of the dudes in the bathrobe shoved me into the room. “Bask in its glory and weep over your own insignificance! Zjdongwa!”
I looked at this guy they seemed to worship and… Okay, no idea what I was looking at here. It looked kind of like one of those things I heard can... | "Behold! Gaze upon the impossibility of the Eldridge Abomination!" Cackled the cultists from outside.
I looked ahead of me. A sharply dressed man stared back.
"Hi." I said.
"Good afternoon. I'm Reginald Smithe. Where are we?" It asked.
"No idea. Mad cultists grabbed me." I replied.
"What are you talking about? Why... | 2022-11-09T03:08:48 | 2022-11-09T00:37:57 | 31 | 17 |
[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. | I must be dead. After all, I went to bed eighty-seven years old and woke up in my thirties. At least I'm pretty sure I'm in my thirties. The dice are hot. The women and even some of the men are hot. The drinks, thankfully, are cold. So why not go for broke?
I hurl the dice down the length of the craps table, and a do... | "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... | 2017-03-06T12:49:12 | 2017-03-06T10:15:11 | 16 | 12 |
[WP] You, a normal human, have somehow become the best duelist at a magic academy. | Another magical brat, another duel.
Josh gripped his weapon tighter watching his opponent on the other side of the field. He couldn't use the methods from previous duels, but decided to use another trick from a long time ago.
3
His opponent started an incantation. A bit unfair, but not against the rules. Josh checke... | One problem with magical dueling is your foe also has a wand and magic. So if you don't want a draw, don't want it to end with both of you dead off the first spell, you gotta run a good defense. The first couple minutes of any duel go to shielding, disarm attempts, cloaking. And that's where I get them. Most duels take... | 2022-11-10T08:22:40 | 2022-11-10T04:49:52 | 127 | 81 |
[WP] "I wish for more wishes". "THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES". "Then I wish for more genies". "THAT IS ALSO AGAINST THE RULES". "Then I wish those rules did not exist". The genie warps in a humongous book and flips to a page before smugly saying "THAT TOO IS ALSO AGAINST THE RULES". | “So let me get this straight, I can’t wish for anything that grants more wishes correct?”
“That a bit of an oversimplification, but yes.”
“Then please elaborate, give me the not so simple version.”
“Very well master. I am unable to grant any form of omnipotence. Because I myself am omnipotent, if you had infinite ac... | [Poem] Rude wish granted:
“I wish you couldn’t read”
“YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO THINK OF THAT, AND IT IS AGAINST THE RULES.”
“Wish you didn’t *want* to read the rules.”
“THATS AG…HUH?”
“You heard me, I wish you weren’t such a rule following nerd.”
“THATS NOT VERY NICE.”
“Is it against the rules?”
“THE RULES INCL... | 2022-01-04T06:59:37 | 2022-01-04T05:00:14 | 43 | 11 |
[WP] Magic exists, however with a catch. Everyone can only use magic the way they expect magic to function. Harry Potter fans MUST do weird wand waving while Call of Cthulhu players all end up going insane. Write an interaction or duel between two vastly different magic users.
Honestly if magic did exist in our world,... | The setting for the battle was a bleak one: a playground, cold and abandoned. Save for two warriors, not a soul was visible in the area.
One of these warriors was truly a fearsome creature, by looks. Abraham was formerly a well-mannered man of little consequence, but upon discovering his new god and devoting himself ... | Streaks of light paint the night sky as a girl sings her heart out. The intense melody of “Sayonara no Tsubasa” fills up the surrounding along with explosions from the battle between the Unicorn Gundam and the girl’s Boyfriend’s YF-29 Durandal.
The Unicorn Gundam in Destroy mode fires it’s beam magnum along with its ... | 2018-10-16T00:05:09 | 2018-10-15T22:23:51 | 48 | 13 |
[WP] A sniper and a photographer meet in a bar, neither aware of the other's occupation. They talk about 'how to take the perfect shot'. | Marston gets a call, "Hey, listen, you'll meet a kid sometime around 0800, he wants to learn from you. You'll get paid handsomely."
"Postpone Danny, I have a job today."
"Can't, it's decided. The kid's father will hire you for your next hit very soon, don't miss this opportunity." The call get disconnected.
Marston ... | "The most important thing is to frame the shot perfectly" Jacob stated enthusiastically
"Yeah, I can agree with that in a sense, but staging and planning it is more important else the entire shot can be a bust" I said with a bit less enthusiasm than Jacob.
"I somewhat agree but everyone got their own way of doing it ... | 2020-11-05T06:33:27 | 2020-11-05T05:28:42 | 73 | 39 |
