"No you haven't."
"Yes, I have."

If i'm here to court you why would we fight to the death? If you win I die, if I win you die. Ether way the courtship was a waist of time."

The planet was dying, so people started to leave. Mars was always a hotspot, “Become one of the first to live on a planet once red now green!”, a true planet B. We branched out, colonised the Moon, then Phobos. ... | You might think this is a tale of sorrow. It certainly seems like one.

Each thinks the other has the same profession as them, and is horrified by what they are told. | Andrew was a small boy with blond hair, his soft traits making him look younger, his féminine frame was delicate yet strong, but, would you deal with his services, you would find a ruthless and unscrupulous man hiding behind the child like face.

[WP] Rampant use of performance enhancing drugs amongst elite Olympic athletes coupled with lifetime bans has led to the creation of the "Performance Games" which encourages pushing the limits of human ability by any means possible. But what happens when things are taken too far? | The figure, ageless metallic, sped past his competitors. Clad not in clothing, but metal, he seemed unreal, more of a freak than the centaurs and cyborgs, somehow uglier than the recombinants and those with grafted limbs from other species.
But that was irrelevant. 120-130-140 miles per hour. Servos in his arms whir t... | Amery and Styll were lost. Styll woke first. Nothing but blue in all directions. The sea was calm at least, it could've been worst. But only by a bit. We must have overdosed again in practice, she thought. How far did we row? In which direction?
Amery tried to throw up over the side of the little vessel. Nothing came... | 2014-08-24T09:33:15 | 2014-08-24T07:50:21 | 26 | 16 |
[WP] You are a god! Well, a semi-god with your own pocket dimension. 4 times a year you teleport all the lost and abandonded animals in the world to your utopia. Today you somehow summoned a human child. | "...and yea, all those found lost and abandoned shall enter my realm and live, founded, for all eternity!"
As it began to literally rain cats and dogs, this I stood with my arms out, presenting the lost and abandoned creatures of Earth with a world to call their own. In this world, there is no pain, and there is no su... | There was something strange in the wood. I could tell by the sound of the murder. Curiosity. Fear. Laughter. This was their song, but it was much too loud today. There was something very strange in the wood.
I had need to move unnoticed, so I stepped into the shape of a field-mouse. My mind became small and sharp. Co... | 2018-07-17T07:22:15 | 2018-07-17T06:32:17 | 27 | 15 |
[WP] On your deathbed, you see the Grim Reaper come for you. Suddenly, something else appears, and it's coming for the Grim Reaper... | There he was. I thought he was just a myth but there was no mistaking the dark figure that was gliding towards me. Black hooded cloak, the signature scythe. I knew I didn't have much time left, but I didn't want to go this early. I hadn't even said a proper goodbye to my wife and family yet! He was beside my bed now, l... | I had a fantastic life, I mused on my deathbed. Did everything I wanted, fell in love with the most wonderful woman in the world, and had the best children in the world, who had the best grandchildren in the world. Now, it was time for the loose ends to get tied up, and I had no complaints.
I look around me at the hos... | 2015-07-10T10:53:19 | 2015-07-10T07:31:09 | 20 | 11 |
[WP] You and your cult were trying to summon a demon. Instead you summoned a Canadian Goose. | We looked at each other. The damn thing honked at us and began to hiss.
“This… this isn’t possible. It either…”
“Well, clearly it is. It’s there!”
“I can see that! I can see it’s there! But the ritual either shouldn’t have worked… or should have summoned a demon.”
We consulted the unholy scripture. It seemed ludic... | It was the day, the day we have all been waiting for.
We got our robes on, got the circles ready, the sacrifice was set. We had been practicing our chants that we learned from the ancient books for months. Everything was right and the time grew closer and closer, the tension was palpable you could feel it in the air ... | 2022-06-06T07:54:46 | 2022-06-06T06:36:47 | 104 | 29 |

A knock at the door,
She could not know I'd not done it before.
We'd dated all summer,
And now was the time,
I popped open a bottle,
We sipped on some wine
She unbuttoned her shirt,
I kicked off my shoes,
Now was the time I had nothing to lose
Strange feelings they danced,
Like a mid su... | 2015-02-25T16:36:37 | 2015-02-25T16:15:30 | 141 | 11 |

Write an event where he or she or it is forced to use this power.
| Marcus Wright was reaching out to turn up the dial on the car radio when the feeling hit him. A tingling swept through his body, as if he were being electrified.
Marcus's wife looked at him, her brow furrowed. "Is it happening again?"
"Yes," Marcus said under his breath. He pressed his fingertips to his temple. The t... | "Hello everyone I'm Jeremy's mother. and I'm here to talk to you about sexual health."
A million sets of eyes turn to face me and I life my head up and drop it down on the desk a few times.

[WP] Write about the average 'upstanding model citizen' who obliviously, without knowledge or intent commits multiple felonies in the course of their day to day life. The more crimes the better. Bold or Italicize the misdeeds

Marquette kicked his sheets off, his torrent finished **downloading the new Guardians of the Galaxy film**.
After stirring in his bed, he ... | 2014-09-07T15:15:37 | 2014-09-07T13:03:31 | 30 | 19 |
[WP] Job hunts are literally that: You seek out the job you desire and kill the one who has it, or even engage them in ritual combat to claim the job as your own. You have just turned of age and desire your first minimum wage job. | “It is time my son.”
My father kneeled before me, holding out a buckhorn knife that was older than the nation. It was scuffed and stained with the blood of countless prey.
“My great great great grandfather made this knife himself to hunt for his first job. Ever since, it has been gifted to the eldest child when they ... | I called my favorite coffee shop and ordered an Large Americano, no cream no sugar.

[WP] Water is the most dangerous fluid in the galaxy. Earthlings drink it like it's nothing. | The light fades in to reveal an important looking meeting room, a large circular table placed in the middle, with ten different looking creatures seated around it. In the middle of the table, an image of a blue and green planet is being projected for all the attendees to see.
Chatter fills the room, the different crea... | Faith by its very nature is absurd. Not in a way that implies it’s something not worth pursuing, but that by requisite it forces you to accept something you cannot see. To leap whole heartedly into something that you cannot definitively prove.

You decide to apply for the highest-paying job in the world. | In your world, I sit among the average human, riding the subway, reading the morning newspaper, and watching the sun go down. I myself would rather not worry myself in the jobs of other people because you might feel bad I taste ice cream for a living.

But, he was clean for a year (it was coke), did his year in prison (tax evasion) and also needed to hide from certain people (ex-girlfriend, nothing cool or gang related).
