[WP] You feel the emotions of anyone you touch. You accidentally brush hands with the barista when they hand you your coffee. You're the most scared you've ever been in your entire life.

They aren't thoughts. You can't put them on paper. Not exactly. They can only be described. Asking someone how they're feeling is like asking them to describe the colour blue. They can only reach for analogy. Blue is like forget-me-nots, the sky, and the ocean. And how am I feeling? I'm feeling like... | “Cold.”
“Pardon? Are you alright? If the coffee is cold, I can get you another one, I just didn’t think it would cool so quickly.” The barista gave me a puzzled look as I stood there dumbfounded, a looming sensation of fear travelling down my trembling hand, loose bits of coffee spilling from the hole in the lid.

There is no way to tell who is who. | Elli was born without the names. Some people thought that she was blessed. She was not faced with knowing the name of the person who would kill her.

You don't care for heroism or villainy, you just want your parents to get together so that you can have a family. | Being the product of a night's folly between a superhero and a supervillain is isn't *totally* bad.

[WP] All of your life you’ve seen numbers above everyone’s heads, displaying not the days they’ve lived, or days they have left- but the number of miles they have traveled. One day while walking you see an old man smiling at a café, and his number is a 1. You sit down and ask him his story. | The man smiles and flags down the sole waitress in the near empty cafe.

"Let's make that coffee for two Barbara."
Barbara shortly returns with a pot of coffee two mugs, a small bowl of sugar cubes, and a small container... | I went down to one of my favorite diners, Mitchel's, to grab some lunch.

One day you teleport to the one you keep in your bedroom and you find yourself in an interrogation room, with 2 strange looking soliders walking towards you. | The concept of coins is interesting, really.
It's a small disk of metal used as currency, which in turn can be used to get anything else a person needs. That small piece of metal would usually be useless, but we assign it a value. It's only important because we say so.
Well, that's not the case for me. My four coins ... | I look down and see the designated bedroom coin in my hand, my other hand on the other 2 in my pocket. Damn it.

This was not my bedroom. My bedroom didn't have glass walls.
The pair walking towards me did not look friendly. Reflexively, I raised m... | The golden sun beat down on the African veldt. Waves of heat that glistened through amber straws of grass.

It turns out we’re the first race since the dwarves to even discover gunpowder, and the first that has a fighting chance. | **“In the Belly of the Beast”**
Anti-aircraft fire lit up the sky. The men of 23rd Company hunkered down in their coastal fortress. Colossal fires raged all around them.

You plea to be let go because you’ll die without your pills. Turns out, the pills were keeping your telekinesis at bay. It’s starting to come back. | My mother always insisted that the staff had promised her they wouldn’t record or tape our visiting hours.

But I don’t like to see the huge fences around, so we just stay in my room, talking and playing games.

We’ve really been swept off our feet these past couple of years... Say, what colour do you want your horse?” | "Horse? I prefer to ride a bull if you dont mind, fits better with the motif." Bullshit replied.
War gave a sideways glance across the Starbucks table towards Pestilence, Famine, and Death.
Famine spoke up, "Well thats nice, but we already have a theme going ourselves. Its the Four.."
Death coughed and the masked cu... | "Grey coat with a slight blue tinge, mane and tail of a blinding white." I say, glaring at him. "The sooner you get me my horse, the better."
"Okay, and what will be your dreaded name?" War asks, edging a little closer. Not being the kind of person who communicates normally, I punch him in the mouth. He yells, falls ba... | 2021-01-02T16:39:02 | 2021-01-02T15:43:44 | 21 | 10 |
[WP] You're a B-list villain. In all your years you've never indulged in excess violence; that is, until the new villain in town sends your best friend to the hospital. | I saw him. Laying there a mass of tubes, metal rods, and plaster casting. The EKG beeping softly in rhythm with his heartbeat the only proof my best friend, my brother of 20 years was alive. A kind nurse is explaining the long list of injuries he sustained in the rampage of the latest villain:
Shattered legs below the ... | It was a good thing that he chooses high collars and hoods as attire, otherwise the biting storm would have freezed his face off hours ago. Dreadshot was taking his sweet time.
Jack was waiting for his newest target up on an old cargo crane. His form was obscured by piping, scaffolding and the lightless sky of a new m... | 2021-01-18T03:56:19 | 2021-01-18T03:18:16 | 53 | 22 |
[WP] You are the city's premier supervillain, but you have a secret. The crimes you commit are not for gain, or to hurt people. You are always subtly testing and pushing 'your' heroes to excel, to be the best they can be. Then a villain with a reputation for murdering heroes shows up in town. | He came from Ultraopolis.
He came to my city. Omega City.
He calls himself The End. I call him a murderer.
He thought the heroes of Omega City were weak, silly even. They had failed to stop me so many times, and what was I compared to him? A joke.
He has incredible strength. Enough to rip the head off of Poor Rich... | Calvin Hearst hurried into the deep core of his main lair pulling off his shirt even as one of his Furies brought him his trench coat and mask.
"I want answers. What happened?"
Fleur turns back from a monitor. "A high school freshman posted video of a dust-up last night. We had some men gathering gear Hephaestus want... | 2021-05-20T10:47:04 | 2021-05-20T09:07:51 | 97 | 35 |
[WP] You are the city's premier supervillain, but you have a secret. The crimes you commit are not for gain, or to hurt people. You are always subtly testing and pushing 'your' heroes to excel, to be the best they can be. Then a villain with a reputation for murdering heroes shows up in town. | He thought He could just waltz in and take over my territory. I am the supervillain here, the only supervillain. He thought it would be easy.
Easy.
Easy?
He thought He could kill *my* heroes.
How dare He?
How could He?
The heroes I have nurtured for so long, the heroes I'd painstakingly trained without thei... | My heros. I dont know what happened, if i let them be. They wouldve probably turned into villains. Good, that i was there.
I lead them to great success, i was the one who made them famous, i was the one, that let the people believe in them. My plan was perfect, until this certain guy showed up. 'Nightscream'. An arrog... | 2021-05-20T07:32:54 | 2021-05-20T07:28:17 | 88 | 51 |
[WP] You inherit the house of your grandmother Baba Yaga. Several witches and other supernaturals come to you offering to buy it. You go home to exam the offers. You get a call saying that the house is missing. You look outside and see the house has followed you home. | I groan. This ridiculous, poultry-legged coop followed me home, and now it's making goo-goo eyes at my hot tub. "Hey!! You stop that!!" I shouted, not entirely sure if the house can even hear me. So imagine my surprise when the thing turned and locked... Windows? Yeah, windows, with my eyes, and sat down like a ... | Hefting a sigh, Irina pushed back from her table and went to the window, forcing it open and sticking her head and shoulders out, "I didn't say you could follow me!"
The house just seems to titter a bit, before settling in place a bit on the strip of lawn that makes up the apartment's 'yard'. "How do you expect me to... | 2021-12-19T00:11:46 | 2021-12-18T18:30:26 | 47 | 35 |
[WP] On a long dead planet, an alien archeologist finds a sealed vault. Inside is a precious cargo and a message: "If Earth shall ever fall, use these 10,000 embryos to continue the Human Race." | David sat in his lab chewing on a stick of carrot. They said it was supposed to help you to quit smoking, but now he wanted a cigarette more than ever to clear out the taste of raw carrot. He heard a knock at the door but, before he could invite his guests to come in, the door had opened and he found himself looking at... | It took the translator a considerable amount of time to decipher the ancient text, but M'althan didn't mind. It wasn't often any of the Vrux had leisure time, given the incessant demands of the brood mother and all. So he found himself alone, far within the vault they'd discovered on this barren rock, and without com... | 2022-03-15T07:54:08 | 2022-03-15T05:53:20 | 287 | 199 |
[WP] For years, the hero and villain's rivalry continues with seemingly no end in sight. You are the hero's sidekick and are frustrated with them and often rant about it to this nice girl you've gotten to know at th cafe, who unbeknownst to you is the villain's minion, who feels the same way. | "I missed my father's funeral," Isaac said, looking grimly into his latté. "'You have to be there', LeRoux said. 'Vital mission', he said. You know what it resulted in?" he said and looked at his companion. She knew the question was mostly rhetorical so she only waited, eyes set on him.

**"And you know the worst part?"** I slugged back the cup of grainy black coffee that was the only drink they served at the Hero's Journey. I wasn't sure what was worse: the fact that we'd been fighting the Order of Valhalla for so long that people had started setting up cafes near the battlefields, or the ... | 2022-06-16T11:24:31 | 2022-06-16T10:16:20 | 829 | 196 |
[WP] You’ve been in the white room for a month, and the guards expected your mind to break long ago. Unbeknownst to them, you are an immortal who was once stuck in a cave for a decade, this is nothing to you. | It takes around 3-5 weeks for solitary confinement to break a man's mind. I believe that is what my captors wanted to accomplish by putting me in this room a month ago. Unfortunately for them, I am not a man I am an Immortal. The mind of an Immortal, from the perspective of a mortal, is fractured and distorted. They wi... | So they come to release you.
Suddenly someone walks in who looks young but feels so old.
“I can see we did not break you”,
Something cold goes through your body only a feeling.
“It seems as though you will take longer than others so we shall leave you here until you are broken surely you will die first but otherwise yo... | 2022-10-02T20:44:18 | 2022-10-02T15:53:13 | 17 | 10 |
[WP] Aliens take over the Earth. They then announce that they will be forcing the humans to work a "tyrannical" 4 hours a day 4 days a week in exchange for basic rights like housing. Needless to say they are very confused when the humans celebrate their new alien overlords. | “How was the trip?” Keldurnab asked when her parents had finally seated themselves around the carcass. She had been dreading her parents coming back as they always had some weird trinkets from their travels. But once you retire, she thought, you kinda want to see what else is out there. Hopefully whatever they brought ... | “EINCNIxiapwkmfPakmf IsjdnIdjfjKddkF42069 sjdjfj ajsjejjePWLDNFNF!”
The new alien overlords screeched on their speakers from their spacecrafts.
A teleprompter like device soon displayed the following: “And there is a minimum of two wives required with a full two days of breeding, one for each, no labor on these days. ... | 2022-11-03T02:46:28 | 2022-11-02T23:51:10 | 90 | 38 |
[WP] The villain succeeds - and though utterly amoral, his plans result in a genuinely happier, better world.
And please, no "Reality TV stars executed". I know we all want it but that's too easy a way out. | The newspapers reported the death of Ultra Man in the papers the following morning. Funerals were held and broadcasted on TV. Reporters flocked to interview anyone and every about their thoughts of his death. TV specials ran for months about the impact his death would have upon the world. When The Cackler was finally p... | I think I might have deviated a little from the prompt and honestly my piece feels a little pretentious but whatever I had fun:
The last moment was of blinding light and blistering heat. In the wake of the last moment, the sound of silence rang through the emptiness of the world. From the grandest of courtyards to the... | 2013-12-14T08:02:45 | 2013-12-14T06:32:44 | 167 | 27 |
[WP] You've been granted god-like powers under the condition that you must do as much evil as you do good. | "You can bring her back, can't you?"
The sobbing young man begged me to help as he held the limp body of his wife.
"Yes, but there are...conditions, as you know." Balance had to be kept. One love's life for another.
"Anything, please! I can't go on living without her."
"Can you live with this decision?" I asked... | Evil is a difficult thing to define at it's core. More so when you are a God.
I look out on the now perfect world and smile. Telepathy had fixed most violent crime, and some adjustments to our drives and desires had solved the rest. Free will was maintained, but happiness remained... a balance so fragile only a Go... | 2014-05-29T17:20:37 | 2014-05-29T16:17:38 | 40 | 19 |
[WP] You're a psychopath giving a speech apologizing for accidentally killing thousands of people. | I thought I had only killed one. They weren't ones to me. They were one. They weren't allowed to kill me for that. It was just one person. I read a book once. It said they couldn't kill me for killing one person. I read that in a book once. They're killing me which isn't what I read in that book which isn't fair. I did... | "Good evening my friends"
I crow into the sea
Of people here gathered
To hear little old me
"It's been a good while
Since I got to address
A crowd such as this one
My hair is a mess"

To sit through my jokes
You came to find answers
To hear who killed Roanoake"
