[WP] Unlike most people with super powers, you're perfectly content to mind your own business while using your powers in normal everyday activities. However the heroes seem to have decided that your disinterest in world affairs is suspicious and you're clearly faking it to hide your true agenda. | "So, that's it, then."

[WP] When a child comes of age their greatest quality manifests itself as a familiar that will follow them for life. You just turned 21 and you still didn't have one, until this morning when two showed up and they terrify you. | I was 21 when they came.
I was always told that sometimes familiars came late. I didn't really mind, to be honest; I'm told that having a familiar is like having a pet, a guardian, and a friend all in one. I was kind of a loner anyways, preferring to stay in my room most of the time and play video games from sunrise t... | "Hi Tommy" I'm your familiar said the beautiful angel.
Those were the first words I heard when I woke up and I was ecstatic with joy at finally manifesting my familiar and I felt so much warmth and comfort just being near her.
I hugged her and she hugged me back while ruffling my hair. I was so happy that I couldn'... | 2017-01-20T13:56:52 | 2017-01-20T12:43:33 | 52 | 14 |
[WP] 50 Years in the future you are a conservative grandfather and your granddaughter just told you she's engaged to a female robot.
Also, the word "Toaster" is now the equivalent of the "N" word used against robots; you also had a fling with one of your former slaves, a Roomba. She shows up out of the blue telling y... | Fucking toasters.
When you were a kid it was the niggers, the spics, the chinks and the chugs all the old bitter folks spat about. Taking our jobs, no appreciation for our culture or society. Barely human.
You laughed at their ignorance then and you laugh at them now. How wrong they really were. "It's about time" ... | "Now Clara I just don't understand why you and Megan don't jus-"
"Well you're going to have to understand, old man."
"Honey, you don't have to get cross with me but the software just isn't there yet, I mean you can make a robot lover for as cheap as you can make a toast-"
"Don't you dare. They are real people Jim. R... | 2014-10-13T23:47:44 | 2014-10-13T20:23:24 | 20 | 11 |
[WP] You are due to be executed for your involvement in the rebellion, but the queen herself approched you in your cell to ask you a question; why are people rebelling against her rule? | As I waited in my cell, i couldn’t believe how bright and comfortable it was. Probably a special cell for death row inmates. I knew the gruesome reality of our prisons. Perhaps they can keep a handfull of them clean because their occupants don’t stay there long enough.
I heard a knock on the door.
"Yes ?" I answered... | Queen Oblivia walked tentatively through the rank, fetid dungeons. It was an amusing contrast; her pristine attire and the decrepit complex. Oblivia was worried. She certainly looked so. And the worries reached their peak at the same time she reached the prisoner.
The queen wastes no time with formalities.
"For your ... | 2022-05-18T06:34:47 | 2022-05-18T02:12:56 | 38 | 26 |
[WP] You have weird super power. If you successfully talk someone into doing something, they will succeed, regardless of if the action in question is actually possible. On the other hand, your abilities to actually persuade people are unaltered. | "Ffffffeck..." slurred Brian as he negotiated the revolving door outside Manhattan's World Bar. Convincing Will to head to the east side to sample the world's most expensive cocktail hadn't been easy, but Brian found that once he got an assent from Will, it had quickly snowballed into maxxing out Will's corporate card... | Short and straight to the point.
Me: Hey.
Them: Hey.
Me: I have this weird superpower where if I can convince someone to do something, they will accomplish it without a problem.
Them: BS.
Me: Try to walk up the wall.
Them: *Does it without a problem.* Ok I believe you.
Me: Boom. Anything else you want to get do... | 2017-06-21T13:15:32 | 2017-06-21T12:22:13 | 44 | 22 |
[WP] You're a holy knight who can see when something has good intentions. This is causing you great confusion when you meet a demon you've been sent to kill. | A simple mission. A typical mission one might say for Arthur the holy knight.
Eliminate a demon. That's all it was. Cut and dry.
Arthur had done it so much that he no longer acted stoically or with glee. There was no emotion in the nod he gave, nor a change in his demeanor as he walked out of the office and off o... | My career as a templar knight ended quite unexpectedly. See, I don't consider myself a special person. I was sent to a temple in Catalonia to learn the ancient teachings of exorcism: Latin, Arabic, Greek, Sanskrit, Nabataean, Aramaic ... some texts I was taught are older than the Gospels. Some demons descriptions inter... | 2020-06-04T17:43:14 | 2020-06-04T16:58:42 | 43 | 12 |
[WP] You're a common goblin who has, against all odds, slain the hero of the story. | Dread lord Caliban cackled and unleashed another bolt of lightning into the heroes chest, then screamed "Attack, my minions!"
I and the other goblins rushed the staggering warrior. Sensibly, I held back a little. In moments my fellow goblins were slaughtered, and the heroes sword glowed with their stolen life force. ... | Of course, I’ll never tell of how the hero defeated the giant mountain dragon, letting it fall to its death, that left him weakened. Of course, I’ll never tell of how his final breath was drawn before I let the spear the impaled his chest loose from my hand while hiding behind the cover of the trees. That is not a hero... | 2016-07-15T10:42:55 | 2016-07-15T10:37:41 | 234 | 14 |
[WP] In an anime-esque world where conflict is resolved by combat, one man quickly builds a name for himself as a formidable and undefeated opponent. His secret: He doesn't call out his attacks. | “SPINNING FLYING FURY KILL KICK OF DOOM EXACTLY 1.45 METERS FROM THE GROUND!” I hear scream behind me. I sigh and duck down, narrowly avoiding the spiralling body launching through the air. I hear a thud in the darkness out of the street lamp’s beam. I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry. I hear the panic of footsteps... | I have been fighting for as long as I can remember. Every little irritation and grievance ends in a duel. No matter how hard I try I cannot stop hurting people to merely survive.
Last week I bought the last snicker snack on sale so some punk challenged me. I had tried to talk him out of it but once a competitor submit... | 2017-10-29T16:14:30 | 2017-10-29T15:29:03 | 303 | 61 |
[WP] A demon just devoured your soul. You are both very confused as to why you are still alive. | The acid of the vomit was burning a whole on his throat, the stench of rotten eggs emanated from every pore of his skin.
As he lowered his gaze to his body, expecting to see himself dying, he noticed no blood. Not on the floor around him, not even on the vomit that stained his shoes.
<<How?>> he wo... | You both look at each other, the demon then tries to devour your soul again as you appear to be alive still in front of him despite having had the first soul devoured. The second attempt proved to be unsuccessful; in fact it actually damaged the demons body in doing so. After a minute your body begins to give off a gia... | 2021-10-06T09:51:30 | 2021-10-06T07:41:13 | 33 | 20 |
[WP] You are one of the best contract killers in the world, but one day, at your dead drop, you find $31.25 in small change, and s letter written by an eleven year old boy | "Do you remember this letter?"
I turn it over in my hands; place it on the table between us. A slow smile crawls across your face. Yeah, you remember.
The words scrawled open-face between us: Please, make the beatings stop.
That was all, along with a blurry Polaroid and a meticulously written address. You still won'... | I used to live in a Colombian city on the Caribbean called Barranquilla. I was a contracted to be a stuffed bear killer. It was a no blood spill your guts kind of a gig. Then today of all days, I received sign about capsizing on Columbus Day. I finally hit my mark and get my cap & gown.
The letter my 11 year old ... | 2020-10-07T21:27:27 | 2020-10-07T16:21:55 | 88 | 11 |
[WP] Wandering the streets, jobless, homeless, you happen across a silver ring with an inscription: "Help for the Needy." Idly you slip it on. Suddenly a voice resonates deep within your bones: "44 YARDS NORTH A CHILD LIES FACE DOWN IN THEIR POOL, UNATTENDED. DEATH IN 172 SECONDS. TIME TO RUN." | *44 YARDS NORTH A CHILD LIES FACE DOWN IN THEIR POOL, UNATTENDED. DEATH IN 172 SECONDS. TIME TO RUN.*
The ring compelled me to run. I didn’t really even know which way was north, but my body pulled me off in some direction and I followed it, fast. Or, as fast as I can. I’m not much of a runner, but when you are told t... | My feet took off before my brain could register what was happening, it hurt to run in the boots, but they were broken in plenty and I wasn't about to let a child die, there was no way in hell I'd ever allow that to happen. I rushed past people on their way to work who gave me queer stares, food vendors who shouted at m... | 2018-04-30T12:07:17 | 2018-04-30T09:47:07 | 377 | 19 |
