[WP] The edge of the world is real and every few years miles of it crumbles away into the void, forcing people to constantly move toward the ever expanding centre. You're a RimRunner, scavenging the abandoned cities before they slip over the edge. | There were, it had been said to me, over and over again, two different types of rim runners.
There were the amateurs. They had no expertise, no pride, no shame. They stole, and didn't much care if what they stole was actually *abandoned* when they did so. They took risks, mostly foolhardy ones, and their life expec... | Two hours.
That’s as long as the Los Angeles Police Department deemed safe for us when what remained of the Pacific began to spill over into the void.

[WP] as part of the disarmament protocol you, the superhero, are going through the lair of the supervillain you killed. you expect morbid trophies but find meticulously detailed investigations all over. as you crosscheck the details you begin to realise in horror that he might have been an antihero. | As I approached the lair, I was shocked by its simplicity. I expected luxury, but it was just a old broken down apartment.
It used to belong to Phoenix, a villain I fought. He wielded fire like nobody else could, and was a master engineer, oftenly using his gadgets in combat.

You lost a year of your life already and feel no closer to find out who wants to kill you. | It happened to me a few times as a kid. It took a few times to understand what was really happening. I would wake up somewhere else. Somewhere else than I had been just yesterday. Sometimes I’d wake up on a friend’s couch. Sometimes my front lawn. Everything just goes blank, and suddenly I’m waking up to the next day... | Day x + 1 - I have completely lost count of how many "miracles" I have been a part of, and right now I don't care.

[WP] Ever since you opened this bar, you still don't know why supernatural races, deities, royalty, and/or extraterrestrials keep frequenting the place. You just serve drinks and lend an ear to listen. | "And then she tells me she won't date me cause I'm younger than her. Like bro, I'm literally just 1,000 years younger than her. How bad is that?" I hear a "young" vampire complain to his friends while sipping on a blood martini.

Yet despite not using any bindings at all, you've never had such problems. | There are 2 paths demonologists tended to walk. The most common is the Researcher.

[WP] The Galactic federation has two odd rules on the topic of Terrans. 1.Never tell a human not to do something- some primal urge will compel them to do the thing. 2.Never tell a human to do something they're already doing unless you want it to be unceremoniously halted. | "Alright, class, settle down."
It was the first day of the second semester and the beginning of the terran unit. Kanarg was excited about this as soon he would be studying human behavior and psychology with *actual humans.* He was interested in this due to him wanting to be a biologist.

[WP] Officially, you're a weak, D rank villain. 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. But one day an A rank villain crashes your heist and you must protect your "students". | "EMP! FREEZE!" Shouted young Pyroclast. It was slightly ironic but I'll forgive it.

Temperature control, molecular manipulation, and electromagnetic refraction. Plus they weren't dic... | Its all about perspective.

[WP] Every time you die, your power brings you back a bit stronger. As you slowly become less and less human, the other heroes become more wary of you. Today, for the first time, you were mistakenly attacked as a monster…and no one is coming to help. | The cursed soul.
A power so rare, it only appears in those who have nothing else to lose. No grand skill, no great equalizer. It is perhaps the most mundane of the powers, when it’s gotten.

[WP] You are pretty sure that your roommate is a new villain terrorizing the city and you are conflicted. They cook extra food for you and your other roommates frequently, pay you their share of the bills on time, and even help to clean the apartment. They are the perfect roommate. | I look out the window sipping on my tea. I watch as buildings burn and people flee from danger. A man in a green costume flies around causing havoc, blowing up cars and throwing trees into buildings. Complete chaos everywhere.
Then I turn around and look at my pristine apartment, clean as a whistle. I put my empty mug... | At first I thought nothing of Jeremy's frequent disappearances. He'd suddenly up and leave the flat without warning, sometimes being gone for days at a time, and when he returned he'd seem harried and stressed.

[WP] You made a promise with a girl to marry her 10 years later. 10 years have passed, you lost contact with her, but one day on the street, you bumped into her | I squinted a little as I stared into the distance trying to sink in what I just saw.

Well you see, if you run into an adult bear you can probably get away from it if you follow some simple guidelines. Don't run, back away slowly; if everything fails play dead. What's so terrifying a... | 2016-04-29T20:49:37 | 2016-04-29T19:49:06 | 20 | 12 |
[WP] - You are an angel of heaven. Angels are tasked with creating animals to populate the earth. You are called into God's office to discuss your finished project - the platypus. | "Ralph, God is ready to see you now"
Welcome Ralph, how are things going for you? Being dead is a big adjustment then to have Angelic status on top of that is a big step
It's been great! I wish I could talk to my family but watching over them is good enough for me. Sounds morbid but, they'll join me up here some day.... | I knocked on the door in tune to Hallelujah. It was the Jeff Buckly version. We might have just made the animals, but damn if he didn't know how to make a calming song.
The marble door opened out of my way and let me into the big office. I'd been here once before, the day I'd been made. There were six couches all sca... | 2016-05-15T10:12:30 | 2016-05-15T10:11:32 | 1,052 | 82 |
[WP] internet goes down. An emergency public broadcast on the television plays "STAY INDOORS AND DO NOT LOOK OUTSIDE." The radio simultaneously broadcasts the message "EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY, GET TO HIGH GROUND." | I was up late, as I had chose not to go to sleep. My covers were pulled up to my shoulder, and I was laying on my left side browsing Writing Prompts on Reddit. Mom didn't like me being up so late on school nights, but I didn't really care.
The lights were off, and the shadows illuminated from the many objects locate... | WELL....WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?
....I don't know, Janet, I heard-
DO WE STAY IN OR GO OUT?
...I DON'T-
This is a joke right, Tim? Right?
...
RIGHT?
Shut UP! I'm trying to THINK!
How can we stay indoors and evacuate to high ground without looking outside?
...I....I....
Tim......say something....

[WP] You are the first level boss of a video game, the easiest one to kill out of all the bosses. You have also killed the main character. | Nezumi looked upon his red-stained paws and wailed.
He hadn't expected the blood - he hadn't expected *any* blood at all, save his own. The hero of legend was supposed to be strong, nigh immortal, but the boy...the boy had been...
Weak.
Three times he had checked the corpse, and three times he had found all the sig... | "Um...boss?"
"Yes, what is it— Wait, Metal Man?" I can hear Dr. Light's shock oozing through the phone, permeating the countless miles that lie between us. "How are you contacting me?"
"I— Well, normally, I wouldn't because, um, you understand, I betrayed you to go fight with Dr. Wily—"
"Yes, yes, I know. He reverse... | 2017-05-01T21:32:56 | 2017-05-01T20:35:44 | 67 | 15 |
[WP] A literal genie – one who cruelly twists someone's wish, based on their exact words – must explain why they granted a child's wish without repercussions, to their superiors. The genie tries to spin the reasoning behind their benevolent actions into a malevolent light.
Edit: All these stories are amazing! | I sat down at the desk in the middle of the room, trying to still my nervousness. It wasn't easy considering I was facing the Council of Genies. Yes we have a council. How else do you control beings of phenomenal cosmic power? I sat and fidgeted while the 5 council members filed in and sat at their much larger and mor... | “You know the rules, Jeff. You’re a genie, for God’s sake. Who do you think you are, Robin Bloody Williams?”
“I am under no such illusions, sir. Sorry, but is it really necessary to use so much profanity?”
In all of his 557 years, Brian was certain he had never encountered such a pussy.
“Jeff, I’m going to need you... | 2017-08-17T06:07:10 | 2017-08-17T04:43:13 | 2,747 | 597 |
[WP] Death gave you immortality with the plan that you'd realize how awful it is and beg him to let you die. 50,000 years later he's getting annoyed as you continue to have fun and live a wonderful life. | The Thief sat in a bar. It wasn’t a nice bar; it wasn’t a *clean* bar; it was dank and shadowy and grim. Just like the Immortal Thief himself.
So long ago, the Thief had stolen immortality and as a curse, Death let him have it. Well, that backfired spectacularly. The Thief enjoyed himself, enormously. He had stol... | "Death, my existence has turned into suffering," I said. "My very bones ache, my skin is weathered. My body became nothing but a green leaf shriveling in autumn's time."
Death chuckled like a five year old, hiting his ball joint as he crouched slightly. "Immortality, a game only a few can play Darren," he said. "If yo... | 2017-12-01T11:49:56 | 2017-11-29T12:47:04 | 2,040 | 149 |

"Yes I am. I got accepted into that new University in Delhi."
"You want to go to school again?"
"Yeah, its a new field... memeology is what they are calling it. Study of internet culture and changes within it." I replied back to the black mass in a pinstripe suit.

[WP] Death gave you immortality with the plan that you'd realize how awful it is and beg him to let you die. 50,000 years later he's getting annoyed as you continue to have fun and live a wonderful life. | The old man sat alone and waited for Death.
It always came this time of year; just before spring, in the last days of long nights and long shadows. There was no fanfare to his arrival. Death simply was where it once wasn't - namely, at the seat across from the old man.
"Are you ready?"
Death's voice was, much like i... | The longer I observe his life...The angrier I seem. 50,000 years ago I tried to perform a little experiment, I would turn a mortal immortal, and allow him to see first hand the suffering immortality brings you- I was eagerly anticipating seeing him break down as he lives longer than all his friends- as he watches his c... | 2017-11-28T17:24:04 | 2017-11-28T15:48:47 | 16 | 12 |
