[WP] The reason the galactic government doesn't want to make contact with Earth isn't because we're warmongers or smarter than them or primitive. Earthlings are just freaking enormous compared to most other intelligent life forms and nobody wants to deal with the logistics of first contact. | Jeffrey lay quietly, staring at the stars above him.

[WP] In reality, every human gets to choose heaven or hell when they die. Hell isn't actually the realm of eternal torture, but everyone picks heaven because of God's highly effective marketing. After eons of solitude, Lucifer is startled by the first ever human to arrive in hell. | I stood at the crossing point. Two roads led away from the point where I stood, one of them silver paved with grey stone and the other golden and paved with red stone. “Choose thy eternal resting place, mortal,” echoes in the back of my mind, “one path shalt take thee to heaven, and the other to hell.”

[WP] When you gain a superpower it is a reflection of your inner self, good people tend to get typical 'good' powers such as flight while bad people get 'bad' powers such as mind control.

[WP] when we got to space we were surprised to find that all the aliens we come across are terrified of us, when we assure them that we aren’t there to hurt them they explained why they were so scared.

[WP] You are a superhero, and your mask has just been ripped off by your arch nemesis. Lucky for you, when you aren’t busy saving lives, you live as a hermit away from all of society.

[WP] You, a newly-turned vampire, are thrilled to discover that you CAN eat garlic, walk in sunlight, and see yourself in mirrors, all while being immortal. You are much less thrilled to discover the one major drawback that none of the legends ever got right. | I soar through the night sky, blind to the world as it was to me.
I told myself it wasn’t so bad. Honestly, I tried. Immortality, hypnotic powers, hyper speed – you know, the usual vampire toolbox – it was pretty damn sweet. And let me tell you, you have not lived till you’ve tried AB negative blood. I’ve had full co... | I awoke to the fluttering of a curtain in a midnight breeze.

[WP] It was something Ancient and Powerful, from before the time of the Foreign New Gods. They labeled it a Demon because they didn’t understand, and attempted to drive it away. But it returned, it returned because it heard the calls of children fleeing a bloody battle. | The child’s plaintive wail was answered with a gust of wind and her pursuers raised wooden spears high to the sky, the stone tipped weapons painted with her parents’ blood already, their laughter mocking her.

[WP] You work at a hospital. Outside a terminal patient’s room, someone tries to enter.

they all fade away.
light becomes dark,
and you,
forgotten. | My breath caught the first time I heard your voice.
I needed to hear it again to be sure.
Confirmation the sound of an angel sweetly singing.
I caught your eye, held your gaze.
You held mine without even blinking.
I asked you to dance.
You asked my name.
I answered, "Elias".
"I'm Bethany".
Love.

Tears splat messily on the flowers at my feet.
All of those years of faith and practice.
I spent every last cent on tithes.
What God would take her now?
After all of that pain?
I request very little.
Why my spark?
My daughter.

| Ten years you held my heart locked in a cage.
I strive for calm but begin to come unhinged
You destroyed our lives with your casual fling
Your heartlessness served to set the stage
Deeply dreaming of my sweet revenge
Your lying throat I'll wring
My anger to assuage.
Burning to avenge.
Hot. Blinding.

I thought I saw something hiding in the shadows..

There it is again, behind me
We need to get out..
I swear it's real..
Don't say it
I'm not

Just how long until this waiting is properly justified!
I've spent ages, years, stuck in one place.
But it will all be worth it.
I can hear it rotating, slowly.
Popping like quiet, teasing laughter.
Soon now, only seconds.
Salt and butter,
So close...

[FF] Write about a feeling with 10 lines, the first one being 10 words, next line 9, so on and so forth. | **Anxiety**
Pressure fills my chest as my heart beats wildly inside.
The tingling moves through my fingers, up my arms.
I grasp at my chest, push against it.
I feel every part of my body -
the blood pulsing in my head,
the prickling of every nerve.
You ask what's wrong.
Don't you know?
It's just...
me.
