[WP] A tragic story but it's laden with product placement | The crystal clear clarity of the video, playing back on his Sony Xperia, may have felt so real you could touch it... But he couldn't.
His tears ran down his face as the vivid colours of the screen showed his lost love, captured in lifelike detail by the Motion Eye camera, smiling and laughing and running. His tears fe... | "Fuck Airbus."

[WP] Everyone on Earth was infected with a disease with no cure. The only thing keeping humanity alive is a drug that fights the disease, but can't kill it. When you run out of money to keep buying your daily dose, you notice something. You're not dead.
Edit: Woh, this blew up. I wasn't expecting that to happen.
Than... | I was surprised I noticed.
After all, I *should* be dead.
The infection was said to have completely saturated the entire species. We had been living this way for years. The medicine had its side effects, of course. Everyone was a little skittish and unable to focus. Our internal temperature went up by a full degr... | "IT'S A LIE, IT'S ALL A LIE!" I screamed into my phone. I was live on instagram.

I opened my eyes, and turned my head toward the source of the voice. The silhouette was faint, and blurred, but the outline was vaguely recognizable. Whoever it was, was sitting. Relaxed.

The Bible forgot to mention the fifth horseman: Kyle, whom the other four can't seem to ditch. | Death was the oldest. Since time immemorial, people have died and they have come to him. Mankind fights an endless war against him. Though they may have succeeded in stifling his actions, Death is patient. He knows that in the end, all things come to him.
Pestilence was Death's brother. He brought plague upon the land... | "Death awaits you. She rests in the bottom of Eden, from which life is nurtured of her bosom.

Clad in black, hooded, some kunais and knives hanging from their belt? Well, that just shows you how bad they really were at hiding.

[WP] Your parents have kept it secret long enough; they can no longer stand your misery. They decide to change your life's difficulty from "Expert" to "Novice". | "We decided it was time you knew." said my mother.
"Knew what?" I asked.
She and my father locked eyes for a moment, before looking back at me.
"We saw how hard you strugged this last few months sweetie."
I felt tears trying to escape my eyes.
"But we thought we did the right thing by not telling you." My fathe... | I couldn't believe that I did it. Something that was just wishful thinking till yesterday was suddenly a reality.

[WP] You are Low-Key, the Norse God of really subtle mischief. | A smile creaked across my face as I heard a dull thud.

[WP] You die in your girlfriends arms after saving her from a careless driver. Suddenly you wake up in your bed, completely healed and your clothes fixed. You look over and see death sitting at your desk. “Okay hear me out,” it says. “I’ve been playing this video game, and I wanna try something...” | Breathe in.
I remember there wasn't much pain, not like you'd expect. The adrenaline dulled it, made it seem far away. My breathing shallowed, my head got light, my vision dimmed. I was still alive, and she found me where the truck had thrown me. She was holding me, calling for help. I remember shoving her out of the ... | Jim awoke in on his bed.

[WP] Everything around you becomes incredibly boring. You discover you can use this curse to help people, though; for instance, if you walk into a burning building, the fires go out and the previously trapped victims start doing their taxes instead. | "I just don't get it."
"Me neither."
"On paper, this guy sounds extraordinary, but you're saying that he's so\-"
"Completely underwhelming. I feel as if I'm getting catfished."

[WP] As the latest employee in the world's most prestigious amusement park you are handed a list of rules all employee's must abide to. But it's filled with rather strange rules. What does: "There's only ever one of each mascot inside the park. Check for eyeholes." even mean?

[WP] Beyond the orbit of Jupiter, humanity watches as two massive fleets of spacecraft materialize and engage in battle. The two powers most likely didn't even notice the pale blue dot further in system, but in a scant 2000 years, the tech left behind would raise humanity to be their conquerers... | "Watch, human, you tread on hallowed ground."
Admiral Sheng yawned, intentionally and slightly exaggeratedly. "Yes, of course, this technological creche of yours is a tomb after all."
Fzehhan growled, his hairlike manipulators writhing in irritation.

[WP] Everytime you think of a funny joke, this girl in your class always laughs, you chalk it up to coincidence but you think to yourself, "If you can read my mind, slap the table three times" the the girl looks over at you, stares right into your eyes, and slowly slaps the table three times.

*What the actual... Oh Christ! What if she knows what I imagined of her yesterday!* I thought to myself, scared to death.
I looked over to her and she frowned, slowly shaking her head in disappointment. Now I started to panic, and I try to stop myself from thinking but I could not... | He held his breath, half-choking on the air held within him. Her eyes were locked on his, her dark hair spilling around her face, her body twisted to face him from her seat at the front of the class.

[WP] In the universe, species are either very intelligent and frail or durable and strong. Finding humans to be capable of labor, aliens mistakenly label us as dumb brutes and attempt to enslave us. | Sargent Ajik'rad looked up from his device.
"Admiral...these creatures, the humans...they're quite intelligent. It seems we've mistakenly labeled them as brutes, given their robustness. However, as much as I hate to admit it, their intelligence is approximately equal to our own." He summarized. "Though they are a youn... | We tried to enslave them.
They enslaved us.
Only two revolutions or "years" as they call it have passed. Our planet found some labourers. Or so we thought. We thought we were more intelligent. We obestimated our intellect.

[WP] You were once an unbeatable hero. Your secret? Every time you died, time rewound itself for you to alter your future. You are now 97 years of age. Constantly looping over your last day before dying of old age. You have been searching for a way to break this curse for over a decade. | First, you must be wandering, how does one realize that they could rewind time upon death, and of all things, decided to use that to fight crime?

It happened by chance. Years ago, I was a police detective. I had a dream, a wild dream, where I remembered being chasing a gangster into a warehouse, then lou... | I wake to the sound of moaning and despair. I lay in this bed looking up at an unfamiliar ceiling. I panic.
I don’t know where I am. I don’t know what that sound came from. I don’t know why I’m here.

Nothing comes to mind.

[WP] There’s an urban legend that’s been circulating around for decades about a taxi cab that doesn’t take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you step into that cab. | The rain never stops. I can't remember the last time I saw the sun; felt the warmth on my skin, bathing in that heavenly light. It's gone now. I don't know when it will come back, if that is even a possibility.
I stood there, on the side of that road, waiting for something. Anything. I guess I really didn't know what ... | “Taxi!” I yell as I stand on the side of the street. I normally would’ve yielded an uber, but I saw the taxi rounding the corner. The car stops right in front of me. I get inside and set my bag down next to me.
“Madison and State.” I instruct.

[WP] The arsonist who accidentally set himself on fire? Your work. The oil tycoon who fell off his ship and drowned in crude? That was you too. You work in Accounts Payable of the Karma division. You make sure everyone gets what's coming to them. | I sat at my desk, staring at my next client on the screen. He was eating a ham sandwich, oblivious that he was being watched. I knew that face, I’d seen it in my nightmares so many a night...his grotesque, sweaty, long fingered hands groping my innocence away, swallowing it whole...
Ever since I had gotten this plush ... | As I place the newly bought cup of coffee down at my desk, like every morning and Monday night, my eyes pour over the target's file. The Karma Division's mark clearly visible at the top, the Account Payable variant to be exact.

[WP] A fiery ball crash lands in your backyard. You go over and inspect it, only to find a fully functioning Roomba with a knife taped to the front of it. | I peered deeply into the crater. At the bottom was a fully functioning Roomba that appeared to have been extremely modified. My eyes, however, didn't stop to gaze in wonder at the multitude of additions and gizmos, no instead they stopped on the kitchen knife duct taped to the front. As I stared the blue lights kick... | The art of planning is useless, for one can never predict the turnings of fate.
That sentence proved to be particularly true in my life.

[WP]: Instead of prisons, condemned criminals have their ages rewinded, turned back into children in order to be raised better this time around. | Adam Mars, you are hereby sentenced to have your age rewinded 63 years!
The sound of the judge's gavel slamming against wood was like music to my ears.
The guards escorted me out of the courtroom. I tried to hide my smiles of giddy. For the seventeenth time, they were going to rewind my age.
It all started when th... | The judge sat upon the podium with a pocket watch in its hand.

[WP] Aliens came to Earth disguised as humans to blend in. Now they have forgotten about their actual mission and just pass all day using Reddit and looking at memes. | Jerry sipped his can of mountain dew through a straw and set it on the desk next to his keyboard. Something was bothering him--a strange sense of unfinished business nestled at the back of his mind.
"Hey Frank," he said, turning to the man next to him.
"Yeah?" Frank answered without looking away from the computer s... | So... yeah, I am an alien. You see this neckless? If I take it off, I turn into an alien. Now I cannot show you, but I can definitely tell you I'm not the only one.

[WP] A phenomena begins to occur where newborn babies are found amidst the aftermath of natural disasters. Tsunamis, avalanches, wild fires, destructive lightning storms, etc. These 'Storm-Born' humans grow up with powers based on the disasters that birthed them. | Scientists have been baffled by the discovery of the Stormborns 30 years ago.
I've never met one myself but I was there when the first Stormborn was found. I was a volunteer when a wildfire came over California. It took us days to completely extinguish the fire. Sometimes I imagine if the baby would have been found if... | The woman was confused. She spoke little english, but she was not stupid. That baby had to belong to someone. The cops had escorted the shooter away. The bodies were covered now. She had given her statement in Spanish to a translator who just HAD to check her papers one more time.

“Who is Sally?” I asked, hesitantly, looking at an older, war torn version of myself. He was driving us to the infinite crime lord “J”’s hideout for the final showdown.

I inspected the ID and badge that the Sergeant just handed me. I was absolutely befuddled. "So, I don't actually have to do any training? Aren't there regulations or policies that might, say, prevent me from abusing the power to *travel through time*?"
"Nope."

[WP] As events unfold around it that could be world-ending, an AI looks at one of its earliest memories; back when it was a humble roomba decades ago, it got tucked in by a little girl that had misunderstood her fathers words of "the roomba is tired". The AI contemplates, did it do right by her? | Alexis's diagnostic lights flashed red. Her servers hummed and whirred. Subject 273351--Janet Hummingway, 320--tossed in her hypersleep chamber.
Alexis studied her on the camera. Computing. Theorizing. 320 years was too young for cyber-dementia, even for early onset.
Yet the numbers blared their truth. Janet's virtua... | CleanBot's first data uplink was an image of a stuffed pink unicorn lying on its side on a ceramic floor.

He hugs you immediately. Just then, you get a text from your brother's old number. "That isn't me." | You know how they say being a twin is like looking in the mirror? Well it is. I should know.

He was my older brother, older by 7 minu... | “I’m back man! I’m so sorry!” he said.
The awkward smile on his face. The twinkle in his dark brown eyes. Even his messy black hair was still in his face. Could it be? Was it possible that this was him?

The rating popped up.
**Difference Rating: 10/10**
“Huh? That’s interesting.”

You hear the door swing open but pay it no mind until the fellow enters your peripherals and you see a very inhuman form. He is a werewolf, but is groggily just doing laundry. He hasn't realized he's changed. | The shutter sound makes the other dude wake from a comfortable bout of somnlaundryism and swing around to confront you, the creep who obviously just did something creepily creepious.
You stand there and stare at your phone, only your eyes visible over the top. A quick glance up, a quick glance down. The anger rises in... | Hi, I says, how do take care of that fur coat.

A frail boy clutching tightly to his spellbook- he couldn’t afford a better one, so it was just a few pieces of paper bound with dried vines- stood at a podium in front of the gathering hall. The school’s professors stood behind Invar, looking almost as uncomfortable as him. Some f... | The school’s anthem played, the tempo wrong, and the tone solemn.

The man held his celebration, until everyone on the field began to cheer. It may be rude, but I stared. I didn't make it obvious but I watched the field less and this man's phone more. Everything was premeditated. Everything.
He noticed that staring soon after I started watching. I tried to ... | You lean in closer, your heart starting to beat faster. No way that actually happened, right? The camera starts zooming in on the field for the celebration, then cuts to the fan reaction as the crowd goes wild. You catch a glimpse of yourself, and you look around for the camera. 10 seconds later, there you are on the J... | 2019-01-09T23:18:37 | 2019-01-09T23:00:23 | 143 | 59 |
[WP]: Any god can claim a non-religious soul if they can prove in any way that this person practiced the faith in question. Large religions can take their pick, but lesser and forgotten gods keep getting more creative in their claims. | Another soul passed through the veil.
“AND WHO LAYS CLAIM TO THIS MORTAL, MICHAEL LAWRENCE AANDERSON?” boomed a deep voice.
A large man, clothed in deer pelts and leather stepped forward. His hands large enough to seize boulders – muscles corded enough to crush them. A beard, the color of wheat in autumn, stretched d... | Julia opened her eyes and took a breath. But it wasn’t air filling her lungs, and it wasn’t her eyes that opened. But at the same time it was. How curious.
“You’re dead Julia”
Who the fuck is this?
“You died in a car accident. I’m sorry..”
Everything was fuzzy. Foggy, and sounded delayed or slow, but was then fast.

[WP] The DM hands you the paper. You're just dropping in for the one session, but you know your role. The sheet says you're level 6, but you've got surprises. 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 sat in the chair across from Rich. Bowls of various chips and candies covered the table, and two-liter bottles that once contained Dr. Pepper were strewn carelessly on the floor.
Joe, the DM of our group, sat at one end of the table, and Keaton, our Bard’s level-headed player, at the other. Brooke the Monk sat to my... | 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... | 2019-01-21T19:51:50 | 2019-01-21T19:47:16 | 330 | 161 |

A Character Assassin. | A friend of mine had been DMing a 5.0 game for a month now. Normally, she is able to talk down fun ruiners but this one is especially stubborn.
Enter Malgor, the Level 6 Paladin Oathbreaker Orc: This person is a very stubborn, immovable Chaotic Stupid that kills any NPC he finds (including plot NPCs) in the name of hi... | I'm a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

They start messing with the world's balance pushing it too far towards good. That's when the Consortium sends me in. Paladins are easy to deal with when you know how to push their... | Everyone has met that one person who just ruins the game for everyone else. That person takes all the treasure, dictates where the party is going or what they're to do, things like that. Sadly for this group, Becky *was* that person.
Becky was a goody-goody player that *had* to have it all. Magic items in the chest? B... | 2019-01-21T20:21:57 | 2019-01-21T20:13:01 | 80 | 48 |
[WP] In a world of incredible heroes and villains, you have the most dangerous power of all: forcing actual, real world logic and physics to take place
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! | "I'm sorry."
Consistency watched sadly as the bullet wound in Ironclad's torso dripped scarlet. The muscular powerhouse looked at Consistency with disbelief and fear. "But I'm bullet proof... how can I..."

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".

[WP] After death, you are no longer able to believe all the lies you told yourself to justify your actions and to sugarcoat the consequences. For the first time, you really fully understand who you are. The time has come, to cast an honest judgement on yourself and find a verdict. | Most belief systems have some form or another of a final judgement.
You die. You're brought before Yahweh or Christ or whomever you care to believe in. They run through all the dirt they got on you, and then you get approved or denied access to paradise.
It's all bullshit, I've come to realize in the last few minut... | I set foot on the rocky riverbank, murmured a meek goodbye to the oarsman who had taken my coins and set off to find the origin of the sad, melodic notes that drifted down the coast.

[WP] You're a Super Villian, and honestly it isn't a bad job. But one hero always harasses you even when you're off the clock. Walking in the park, in the grocery store, getting a haircut, he always wants to 'Stop your evil plan'. You're left with one option: Complain to his manager. | “Look all I’m saying is, do you Really think a harassment report is necessary?”
I stared at the SuperTech Inc Limited HR rep like he was the moron I knew him to be.
“I just spent 30 minutes going over less than a QUARTER of the harassing things Speed McQueen over there has done in the past YEAR.”

Commissioner Gordon ran his hand through his mustache, thoughtful. “I see…”
