[WP] It's been seven years since the global blackout. You get home from a hard day at work and In a forgetful moment you flick the light switch to find that your lights turn on. You look outside and the world is still in complete darkness . | At this point, we don’t need the light.
The children will never know the light, and we will never forget it. It’s better this way, they said, if we just adapt to the dark. They were, for the most part, right.
However, some jobs can’t be done in the dark. Some people cannot live in the dark. So, in the dark f... | I stumbled up the stairs in weary fatigue, my back was a burden on itself; making me slump forward and drag my feet up the dark and shadowed steps out of habit and routine of my everyday cycle rather than out of conscious will.
I reached my door and turned the knob, the creak of the hinges, originally the source of my... | 2017-09-08T04:36:08 | 2017-09-08T03:11:27 | 263 | 48 |
[WP] Finally, the ultimate MMORPG has been created, unlimited choice and room to grow and expand your character. There's just one issue, it's so realistic, nobody can remember which life they are living, and which is the game. | We, the awestruck faction members, stood around him. We saw a man, once glorious and proud, withering away under the green glow of fluorescent hospital lights. The man who vanquished the great beast of Velenforth, with nothing but an iron sword. The same man who bested countless foul creatures, who looted and explored ... | Rifts opening up everywhere... Jake needed to move quick. No time to mourn or to wonder if he even should mourn. So much of his memory had been knocked loose. That ray must've boggled his mind more than he realized at first. sprinting to the next house over, something inside told him that it had some guns inside, maybe... | 2018-02-19T08:53:15 | 2018-02-19T08:44:15 | 331 | 43 |
[WP] Your entire life, you've been told you're deathly allergic to bees. You've always had people protecting you from them, be it your mother or a hired hand. Today, one slips through and lands on your shoulder. You hear a tiny voice say "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" | "What? Who said that?", I asked, startled.
"It izz me, Buzzter, your humble servant, sire! Might I take this opportunity to say that it is such an honor to speak with you directly!" said the annoying voice.
That's when I noticed that the source of the strange voice was a bee, right there on my shoulder. As someone... | "Your majesty, what are your orders?"
You can't think straight. Is this really happening? Is this what madness feels like? It feels so... loud. You can't escape it. You can't breathe. The buzzing spreads across every sense, as if all of reality is vibrating.
It was easy to ignore at first. You have always been able t... | 2022-01-01T21:17:01 | 2018-04-01T04:52:35 | 4,502 | 16 |
[WP] You can taste lies. One day your friend is comforting you after a tough night and you almost vomit at the foul taste as you hear her say "After all, you're only human." | So it turns out I'm not human. To be frank, I wasn't surprised when upon that fateful day my friend's words turned to ashes in my mouth, almost choking me with their utmost falseness. After all, humans can't taste lies, so the obvious answer was that I wasn't human. Still it wasn't exactly the most comforting thing to ... | Synesthesia. A neurological phenomenon in which the afflicted party has overlapping sensory experiences. For example, my friend Joanna sees words as having colors. Apparently synesthesia is fuschia colored. She's made use of this to become a renowned artist.
That's not to say I'm a synesthete. Not at all. It's just t... | 2018-05-12T05:25:13 | 2018-05-12T05:13:37 | 1,793 | 752 |
[WP] After getting a girlfriend, a man discovers that he now has a very powerful superpower: everything he says, no matter how factual and true, is wrong. | The group of friends were sat around a fire under a sky full of stars. One man, stepping quietly away from the party, found a place where he could be alone. He looked up at the Milky Way.
"When you consider how vast and great the universe is, I'm just worthless, aren't I?" he sighed.
His friend, who had known him fo... | It's been a long time since I've spoken aloud. It first started when I meet Jess, I really thought it was just her, I never new it was changing the entire universe.
I said the earth was a globe floating in space once a few years ago, now every planet is flat and it even changed the laws of physics.

[WP] You were bitten by a radioactive human. You became Human-man. | It doesn't sound like much, really: does whatever a human can. But then you realize, some humans can pull planes and trains. Some humans can catch arrows. Some humans can do complex math in their heads. Some humans can juggle chainsaws. You see, it isn't just what the average human can do. I combine all the peak abilit... | “Where is he?!”
“He was supposed to be here at 5, Mr. President.”
The door opened slowly. A man in a creepily entered the room, his gaze fixed on both the President and Vice-President.
“Sorry I’m late. I started looking at my phone before getting ready.”
“That’s OK, Human-Man,” said the President, offering a seat ... | 2018-09-19T08:10:33 | 2018-09-19T08:05:08 | 230 | 64 |

You have a mission: take out the DM's most-hated player. Well, their fun-killing Paladin, anyway. You're a hired gun. A Character Assassin. | I smooth over the character sheet and as far as I could tell everything about it was good to go.
It was an assassin named Garret with lots of poisons, weapons and enough damage to put down most other characters in one or two rounds of combat. It wasn’t the most optimised character I’ve ever seen but it would be fi... | I'm a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

2/19/19: Woah! I look away for a few minutes and suddenly 1000 likes! Thanks you guys!
2/19/19: Holy God! 6.5k likes?! Awesome! | It was, of course, another super power. I knew that. In my youth, what ever I believed strongly simply happened. My parent, valuing education, had promoted STEM subjects, and I had excelled. Mostly, expecting the world to work according to logic and physics had made me an unremarkable person. A competent engineer at be... | *Snap*
A scream more iconic than Wilhelm's can be heard from something akin to a meteor flying directly to the city. "You're not as dashing when you're on fire" you say to the burning, falling Clark Kent. "Didn't you know? Your home planet doesn't exist anymore. I deleted it".

I couldn’t believe the news when I woke up. Our small country just declared war on our neighbors without any pretense.
