It's been a rough week. Everyone has someone they wish were still with them. Write to them and tell them how you feel. Pour your heart out. No judging. Even if they never see it, someone will. And thank you. It's tough to be alone. | Dear old friend,
I saw something that made me think of you the other day. And sometimes I think of you for no reason at all.
I want to talk to you, but I know there’d be no point. I wonder what you’re up to, but I don’t ask.
Because we have both changed so much since then, or maybe we haven’t changed at all. But so... | I really miss the look on your face when I would pop up unannounced... You would walk into the room, eyes lit up and say "my Andy!" That always made my day. I loved feeling wanted, needed, loved. I'm starting to ache from the pain of no longer hearing your laugh. The way it would hit me full on in the chest and bounce ... | 2017-11-06T03:25:39 | 2017-11-06T00:06:31 | 23 | 13 |
[WP] You gained the ability to stop time, so you use it right away... but the true ability was to only stop your own time, not others. 10 years of other's time later, the ability stops and you find yourself stuck in some kind of glass museum display, with a sign saying "The Immortal Man". | It starts with a breath. The barest sigh, quickening to a gasp, and the burning in your parched throat heightens it to a cough. You blink, eyes drier than they've ever been, stinging like sand under your eyelids. Still wheezing for breath, rubbing your eyes, you notice that your elbow hurts. All of you hurts, actually,... | As if it wasn't enough, that damn leprechaun neglected to mention the fact that once time unfroze all my sphincters would relax, now I'm stuck inside a glass cage with my own filth up to my ankles, and the museum won't open for at least 8 more hours.

[WP]"This is how it works," Death explained. "You pick the game and we play. Cheating is allowed, but if either one of us is caught by the other, they lose. If you win, you'll wake up back in the hospital and I'll give you another 10 years. If you lose then it's time for judgement. Understood? | He has it, of course. Heck, I could probably say any random string of words and he'd have the game to match. Infinite monkeys and all that.
MY TURN.
I stare down at the cards in my hand, trying to pay attention despite the sweat soaking my back. They're the exact set we have at home, with little cartoon illustrations... | “You got it?”
The question takes me off guard, I’m still trying to process this new info. The tall man with the black hooded cloak at the end of my bed tilted his head slightly, the scythe that rested in the crook of his arm caught the moonlight ominously.

Jason cut him off. "Do you want to get the setup or should I?"
"Setup? What do you mean? You haven't even told me a game yet." Death was confused. O... | My heart was pounding as I sat in the plane, staring at the map.

[WP] Every year, a human is chosen to be God. The existence of said human is erased for that year, but will return once the shift finishes. At the end, they will be shown a summary of how they did as God. This year it's your turn. And you suck at it. | Getting called up to the bigs was huge. Staring down on all of creation, I couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by it all. Even with access to the power of the cosmos I was getting seriously freaked out. Archangel Gabriel was standing off to the side droning on in a somewhat bored voice.
"Welcome to Heaven. You ha... | At the end of my term, I sat down with the archangel Gabriel for my performance review. And he did not seem overly pleased.

[WP] You are the world's greatest detective. With your near superhuman intellect, you have never failed to solve a case before. But one day, you finally meet your match: a criminal so unbelievably stupid that you cannot possibly comprehend and predict what he's going to do next. | It was maddening. *Infuriating.* How could you possibly see that coming? Weeks of setting an elaborate trap, involving plotting every escape route down to the weak bricks in the fucking wall, men hidden in every crack, crevice and cavity you could find. It was the perfect setup. Have him come in for the great diamond, ... | “Why would you do this,” I shouted, “All this could bring is the death of us all!” It seemed ridiculous!

[WP] You wished to be rich. And your wish was granted. You were now born into a rich family... But more different than yours. A different mother, father, siblings, cousins, friends, a job, etc. And you still remember your last life. Today, you saw your original mother, begging on the streets... | The old lady sat there,
playing a little song.
A few people dropped coins,
But most moved along.
 
A memory crept up slowly,
from a corner in my mind.
I had seen this face before,
the wrinkles, the eyes so kind.
 
And it all came back to me,
the poverty and the struggle.
To pay rent or eat... | I don't remember a time when this wasn't my wish. I didn't fit. I was the weird one, the weak one, the soft one, the lowest face on the family totem pole. When something went wrong, it was generally my fault. *"Why did they treat me differently?"* I asked myself this question so continuously that it one day quit being ... | 2018-07-07T08:04:43 | 2018-07-07T07:33:12 | 191 | 17 |
[WP] You wake up in the 1400's dark ages, with nothing but the clothes on your back and your knowledge. The only way you get back to the present, is by surviving until your time period. You dont age until you reach the moment you were sent back. | George lay down in his soft bed and closed his eyes. After a few minutes of twisting and turning, he fell asleep.
Suddenly, as soon as he went into his slumber, he woke up. He was laying on his back, looking up at the treetops. At first he thought he was dreaming, but then realized he wouldn’t know that he was dreami... | At first I thought I had woken up in a weird dream. Who wouldn't think they had woken up in a weird dream?

[WP] The current rulers of the galaxy exert their dominance by showing showing new races a glimpse of their terrifying nature inevitably either driving the unfortunate victims mad or causing them to retreat in fear. It does not work on humans however, they are used to it | Life had a unifying feature.
It didn't matter if your species evolved in the oceans of a moon on a gas giant, or in the crevices of a planet tidal-locked with its star, it will always have one critical trait:
Fear.
Fear is what keeps species in check, what ensures that they don't kill themselves in foolish endeavor... | "How many have we lost so far?" Growled General Barkler, as he stared at the great blue orb sitting in space. He had been ordered to fetch this world and its spoils, but it was not coming easily.

It's more like a mirror showing the population the depths of their, well in this case, humanity.
Preparations began as usual with the media team replicating the local communication techniques and enhancing. All sentient life forms are... | 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] You are the King's must trusted advisor. Your advice has saved the kingdom from devastation many times. There's just one problem: You're actually trying to sabotage the King with the worst advice you can think of, but it always somehow works out. | Dear Diary,
I hate this new guy we took on as king. Today I told him to charge the people double gold coins for our crops because we need to do some renos on the castle wall and that's not cheap. He agreed. What an idiot. They'll hang him for this for sure.

[WP] Walking home one night you find an old lamp and a Genie pops out. He tells you that you have 6 wishes, 3 more than usual. You take it home to sleep on it, because this is important. You must be sure! You wake up to find a frantic Genie. You only have one wish left because you sleep talk. | A weight landed on my chest and I woke with a grunt, sitting up so fast the heavy Persian cat that had jumped on me bolted away. I do not have a cat. Blinking and trying to focus in the dim light I see the wall opposite my bed is obscured by stacked cases of Pepsi that reached from floor to ceiling.
"What the hell?" I... | I found an old lamp as I walked home last night. Or maybe the old lamp found me. That's how those things work, right? It was sitting on the mailbox of the house at the corner.

[WP] You don't remember what you do for a living. Literally. You wake up, get in the car, then black out until you're back in your driveway in the middle of the afternoon 5 days a week, and you get a paycheck once a month. | It's a simple job. One that I have no idea about.
But it pays well. It pays very well because for one, I don't even know what I do at work.
Everyday, it's the same grind but it's a grind that I don't remember.
Most people would call me crazy for saying yes to a job like this, but I don't think they understand.
I ha... | Five 'til five.
*So always five?*
Always five. Call 'em freedom units, 'cause that's when I finally leave, too. I like irony, like there. We ain't ever really free. Anyways. Leave on the dot. Not a minute later. Not a minute earlier.

[WP] In your world, magic is wielded by astrologists who form pacts with distant stars. Every star grants a unique power. Upon forming a pact with a star, you gain a glimpse of its worlds and your soul will be pulled to one when your pact ends. You are the first to form a pact with a black hole. | "So I'm with a red Supergiant. I gained powers of mass manipulation, heavy metals, that sort of thing. You?"
"I tamed a G-type main sequence, with three life bearing planets. I work with water and life, mostly. Sometimes the solar maximums give me electromagnetics, but that's few and far between. How 'bout you, Jane?"... | Admittedly, I did not expect this would work. I was lucky to even see the black hole, even luckier to speak with it.
It was easier than I had heard to make the pact, though what is a black hole other than a star that has already died? Im sure nobody ever speaks with them. Im sure that helped my case, that I cared to n... | 2020-02-21T05:29:11 | 2020-02-21T05:05:27 | 49 | 30 |

He had only recently left the hospital after trying to monologue to an anti-hero.

[WP] You and your best friend made a pact to marry one another if both of you are still single at 30 years old. It is now time to fulfill that promise but over the years, your best friend became the leader of a notorious crime syndicate and you just got promoted... as the city's prosecuter. | John Bartholomew Evans wondered if he should even go. There was no way. It was a promise made before they knew better. A promise made when they didn't know any better. When their youth made them think anything was possible. When hope was stronger than reality. Nothing would change. They would still be best friends.
R... | It was always kind a weird friendship, now that I think about it. Lynn and I have never had much in common. If there was one, it's that we always kept ourselves busy.
Busy lives were great for advancing careers, but we both found out that it greatly stunted every other aspect of it. So, when two lonely people meet up ... | 2020-08-25T08:56:30 | 2020-08-25T08:55:43 | 239 | 66 |

She now stands before an altar of sacrifice. You knew the truth the whole time, you just couldn't bear to tell her. | The runes etched into the dagger glowed in the dim light. A few scattered candles and the sunset light filtering through stained glass lit the temple in a soft amber, but the ritual blade pulsed with an inner light.

[WP] Your mother died ten years ago. You saw her collapse, went to her funeral, paid for her cremation. Her ashes should be sitting in the living room right now. So you're not entirely sure why she's waving frantically at you from the window. | There’s no way
There’s no way this is real
I was there when she took her last breath
I was the one that actually honored her wishes
Why is she outside right now. This is impossible
This has to be a bad dream right? I mean how could I explain it. The ashes were in the living room last night

[WP] “Oh no, a gun, my only weakness” says the villain, as he proceeds to jump of the top of the building you’re in. He falls to the floor but somehow survives. Turns out that yes, a gun is literally his ONLY weakness. | I ran to the edge of the roof where he leapt off the building. Gazing down into the alleyway I could see the body was contorted in a gruesome fashion. Holstering my pistol I began to move away until I heard a scream from below. Glancing back down, a woman was at the entrance of the alley screaming at the body. A body t... | Bob McBobster didn't know what a gun was. He recalibrated the hammer in his hands to bring more force down on the strange maniac who had fallen from the sky.
"Oh my!" the long red-haired, cape-wearing, apparently deranged man said upon standing. His voice sounded like he was on the verge of singing a song. "That's not... | 2019-04-12T18:43:30 | 2019-04-12T15:43:18 | 40 | 11 |
[WP]: Suddenly, everyone with tattoos gains powers related to the tattoo. Tattoos of flames, you control fire. A tattoo of a gecko, you can climb on walls. All dudes with "tribal" tattoos have strangely bonded together. | It was all happening so fast that we never had time to consider what would happen when it had finished happening.
Everyone with a tattoo was manifesting abilities. It was all fairly sensible. Fire tattoo? Fire powers. Ice tattoo? Ice powers. Emoji ink? Emotion manipulation.
The weird thing was the people with tribal ... | Another day, another struggle to adjust to this new world thrust upon us.
I wake up and go through my morning routine. I’ve got class in an hour and a half. While brushing my teeth, I look at my four-leaf clover tattoo on my wrist; I thank God every day that I have this thing.

She loved music though. It made her feel alive and let her feel like she mattered even if it was... | 2019-05-07T07:58:02 | 2019-05-07T07:47:53 | 1,719 | 218 |
[WP] "Apologies, human. Unfortunately, you were accidentally killed by a glactic federation officer during an altercation on your planet. Currently we are constructing you a replacement body, and in return for your ensured silence on our existence, I wanted to ask if you wanted anything... changed." |
“Well, I wouldn’t mind having a bigger dick.” Was my response.
The voice beaming through my thoughts gave off a distressed sounding grunt- the kind that’s usually followed by, “fuck off.”, or something similar.
There was a long pause.
“Fuck off.” Was the response I got.
I was partially thrown off. “What is it, ... | The first thing I heard was a whirring sound.
Everything went from black to bright white in an instant, hurting my eyes. The brick wall across the room stared unblinkingly at me and I closed my eyes to try and ease the pain.

[WP] You hate your boring call centre job. Every day idiots call you up with stupid questions they could easily figure out themselves. Yes you have to shoot them in the head. No there is no cure if you're bitten. It's a few years now into the zombie apocalypse and this is the Call Centre of the Dead | "Uh, Is this the Call Centre of the Dead?"
I sighed. It's always the ones who ask that question who end up asking the dumbest questions later. Yeah. I was having a bad day. I almost avoided a zombie spitting at me in the morning, and we all know what that means, right?
Anyway, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

The frantic shouting on the other end of the line seemed never-ending. I sighed silently to myself. Everyday I had to deal with hysterical people wondering what to do.

[WP] Every morning when you first look in a mirror, you see a small piece of advise for that day, such as “take the subway to work” or “don’t try the free pizza”. Today, the mirror simply says, “RUN” | I grabbed my backpack and hit the door running. I knew from previous messages which ones meant "now", so I didn't stop to pack.
I got to the end of my block and rounded the corner, taking a quick look back. A car had pulled up in front of my house. *"Run"*
I kept going.
I entered the train station and headed down th... | For as long as I could remember, the first mirror I saw every morning dictated how I would live my life that day.

[WP] Your family has had the ability to plant anything and grow a plant that grows that thing. However it has been dormant for some generations and has been forgotten. Then one day when you were 5 you buried a 20 dollar bill because you wanted to make a money tree. After a month you saw a sprout | Entries from Joe's Diary

Hi . My name is Joe. I am 5 years old, and 1 month.
I know that, because on my birthday last month, I got some gift money from Grandma.
She told me to make that money grow, so I did what Gramps used to do until he went to Heaven. I planted it in the ground, and watered it every day.
T... | You are probably going to have a hard time believing this but those seven hundred new F-35s that the air force boasts of were created by me. Only me. Now, for most people, I am still a college student but really I might be one of the most resourceful human beings in the world.

[WP] You are a superhero without powers. You know a good bit about martial arts and you're resourceful, but the main reason you're so successful? Every time a villain monologues their plan, you calmly and clearly explain to them why their plan won't work. | I didn't bother struggling against my bonds as I was being slowly lowered towards the shark-laden acid pit. To an ordinary hero this would seem like the end, but not for me. It was just another day in the life of Lynchpin.
As predicted, the mechanism stopped, only for the head of the Syndicate, an eyepatch wearing gor... | “And then you’ll be dead!” Nightmareshade laughed maniacally, eyes wild.

[WP] You are an elite member of the royal guard. You have recently been fired from your position because of the new king. Little does he know, there was a reason why the previous king kept you in his service for so long.
Edit: Holy crap this blew up! Thank you all! | A few years ago, I would have been the one leading the chorus. "Gods save the king", I'd cry, and legions would answer back. I'd served, in some form or another, for three kings in succession, each transition of power being simple, clean, and effective. Gods save this king, that king, and the next one. And they did. Ev... | A week ago I was an elite member of the royal guard, doing my duty as always. I was the leader of the four female guards in the defense troop. That was until the new king, Harrion the fourth, decided that his troops would be better off with new recruits and decided to fire all of us who served for more than a decade.

Edit: Holy crap this blew up! Thank you all! | My phone rang for the third time in 10 minutes. I made a mental note to change the ringtone to something less patriotic and swiped up on the little green icon.
