[WP] When you die, you are given the chance to flip a coin. If you call the toss correctly, you are allowed to keep living, while resetting to the age of your choice. You've been doing this for a couple centuries now. Death is starting to get pretty pissed. | "Have you ever considered, you know, doing something with your lives Seamus?" Death sat next to me in the pub, taking a swig of his pint.

[WP] Long after humans found other sentient races, aliens begin to research the history of humanity. They do not realize humans write fictional stories along with history books, and they are understandably terrified. | "sir I think you should see this"

[WP] Instead of a dystopia that seems like a utopia on the surface, write a story about a utopia that seems like a dystopia on the surface. | A lot of people were unhappy when the world went to shit, but not James Henderson. For him, it had all been a dream come true.
It started with drugs. Growing, refining, smuggling: James did it all. But he always knew that he wouldn't be limited to just one market. When war broke out in the Middle East yet again, one ... | The year is 2044. Chicago is in ruins. Drug dealers, kidnappers, scammers, rapists, all over the surface. Businesses are crumbling. Banks practically don't even exist. People fear for their life. The chance of a child younger than 25 joining a gang was 87%. You can hear gunshots all night long.

[WP] You're a golden retriever who thinks he successfully fooled a pack of wolves into thinking that he's also a wolf. The wolves know. They're just being inclusive so they took him in.
[deleted] | This was, of course, a controversial topic. Letting in a domestic dog? It’s a terrible idea. The dog will fuck everything up. It is, by nature, more dependent on humans than on themselves and others.
In the end, the dog was voted to be kept in. Segregation was a mistake of humans, and it was not about to become one of... | Unfortunately, in being so inclusive, they took it too far by never telling me what I truly was: a dog. In doing so, they did more harm than help because I began to really feel like I was a wolf.
Until the day I met another wolf and nearly got mauled to death by it in a fight. I didn't stand a chance.

[WP] An horror story where it gets progressively clearer that the writer is the psycho, not the other person. | I woke up in the middle of the night to see a corpse floating above me. My first instinct was to scream, but my whole body was frozen, stuck to the bed. It stared at me, blood dripping down from its head and limbs, its flesh blue with frost. As it brought its mangled face closer to me and started speaking to me in some... | As I looked down at Amy among the crowd of her fellow high schoolers, I tilt my head unnaturally to the side, enough to crack it if I was a normal human being.

[WP] Every child is given a pet rock when they turn ten. For the next decade the rock slowly forms into a shape that resembles the personality of its owner. Your rock still looks like a rock. | The problem with the rocks is that no one tells you when you get them that they'll be the basis on which everyone judges your motives and underlying humanity should you let anyone see yours. It's no wonder most people hide theirs. I never did but its obvious I should have. A dead end job going on ten years all to pay f... | "Mom my rock is still a rock and it's been ten years!"

[WP] For most of college everyone thought you were deaf when in reality you just don't like talking and learned sign language at a young age. You never corrected anyone until someone confessed their love for you, thinking you couldn't hear them. | I'm unbearably shy. Have been ever since I was little to the point where my parents had to teach me sign language in order for me to express myself. I'm not trying to lie to him I just... can't talk to him unless I'm signing. Nevermind the fact we've known each other for four years now. It doesn't matter anyway, he pro... | What do I say?

[WP] You're the cynical narrator of a story. However, you hate the optimistic main character and only continue to narrate hoping something bad happens to him. With ill-will, narrate a day in the life of this character.
This came to mind a few days ago and thought it could lead to some funny stories.

[WP] Write the letter that you always wanted to, but never did.
Most of the writing prompts I see on here are for fictional stories, but this is only one small corner of the larger art of writing. In this prompt, I'd like you to consider writing something a little more personal, and in a form that you might not have o... | Dear dad,
I fucking miss you. You died too quickly and I never got to hear your last words. I know though, I know you'd tell me you're proud of me and that you love me.

[WP]You are a SWAT team member with one big problem: you are a vampire. Your life depends on asking permission before you get through the door, and somehow you pull it off every time. | Being an ancient horror and adapting to modern times is always a challenge.
Ovidiu was one of the last of the originals, or what he considered an original anyway.
He figured out that a monster needed to find a niche in order to survive.
His was violence.
From foot soldier to gladiator to assassin, he worked his way... | I've always loved what I've done for a living, the thrill and exhilaration of saving the day.

[WP] You know the secret identity of every hero and villain, How? They show you, as your a shapeshifter employed to impersonate them so both identities can be seen at the same place, same time. However none know your true identity. | A man's gotta make a living, right? And with a talent like this, who wouldn't want to use it?
Day to day I mold my face, my body into something completely different. Your mailman, your mother, your friendly neighborhood Superman--it could be anyone. I prefer the latter--being someone that's close to other people is a ... | The first two that came to me I thought was just a coincident. Like I run and own a multinational company chances are two people would be connected by my company. But when the fifth came to hire me as a shapeshifter it started getting insane.

[WP] You are a successful artist who has a condition where you randomly black out. When you wake up, you see that you have created beautiful masterpeices that you don't remember painting. Lately, all of your paintings have been more and more disturbing. | It began with a still life painting of a dimly lit kitchen. There was a set of knives laid neatly on the surface alongside a length of worn rope. The details on the rope were exquisite, more than I usually put into my works. I didn't remember painting it, but the paint on my hands and brushes was proof enough that the ... | Eloquent and endearing, each stroke carried a vibrancy of colorful congruence.

As your being dragged to hell for the massive amount of murder you have wrought upon living beings, you desperately try to explain to Saint Peter what video games are. | "Petey! Buddy!

[WP] It is said that none but the chosen may slay the demon lord. You aren't the chosen, but you also realize that "defeat" and "slay" are not the same thing. With this in mind, you start making other considerations such as rope, or perhaps a very deep hole. |
Timur sat in front of the small campfire in his tent, shivering from the cold and tending to the deep lacerations across his arm. All the while, he kept a black urn clutched tightly to his chest. He couldn’t die. Not just yet. The demon lord would be arriving soon. Timur’s smoke signals that he had left outside woul... | Demons aren’t exactly my favorite thing to think about. It’s not like they come over with great intentions or anything, right? They come hidden, or in some grotesque form that humans aren't all that fit to look at.

During his wedding speech the best man decides to see how heavily he can hint about it without anyone actually working it out. | I stood and tapped lightly on my glass until the room fell silent. "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Most of you I know already, as friends or employees, but for those who I don't, my name is Peter.

[WP] "Too bad, Fairy Queen. I never had a kid, so no firstborn for you to take" you say on your deathbed. "Oh I love it when they don't read the fine print" she responds with a wicked smile. | My eyes trembled as she held the paper close to me, my limbs unable to move from old age.

"It's all he'll eat when he's sick." She responds.
Her daughter enters the kitchen. "Grandpa has a fever?"
" No, Honey. Grandpa has dementia." | The first thing he recalls in life is faces. Mom and Dad. Always smiling, happy. At 10 he remembers Dad storming out, never returning.

[WP] Magicians are quite rare. They are not born; they're made. It is through unimaginable pain that their powers manifest. Their ability is linked to their own personal trauma. So tell me child, what can YOU do? | Lynch regarded the teenage girl in front of him, and barely held back a scoff.

His legs grew tired of holding his weight up, of stopping ... | I stood before the Conclave of the Holy Church of the Galatic Divinity -an assembly of high ranking officials of the this Galaxy's church. His holiness, arch bishop Vallorax scanned my report through his glowing spectacles. His lavender face twisted in a series of expression. His solid black eyes squinted. He released ... | 2016-08-18T06:52:46 | 2016-08-18T06:47:45 | 28 | 18 |
[WP] You wake up on November 9, 2016, to a phone call informing you that an overwhelming majority of Americans have written in your name on the ballot. | "Wait, me? As, like, president?" I relaxed from my sudden upright position on the bed, thinking this was obviously a prank call. "Dude, like, I'm not even in a political party. Nice try"
The voice on the other end seemed... disappointed. Like he too was one of the many Americans who hated both candidates.
"This isn't... | "...and you're absolutely sure?" I asked, still astounded.
"I wouldn't be calling you if I wasn't" came the gruff, disappointed voice on the other end of the line. "You will have an escort arrive at your home address, where you will be informed about the situation. Be ready by nine o'clock." The phone call ended, and ... | 2016-09-27T17:05:02 | 2016-09-27T11:37:32 | 45 | 31 |
[WP] Your father used to be a supervillain who faked his death in order to be with his family, but hid that from you in order to keep you safe. Unfortunately you look almost exactly like him, and this is in fact how you came to find out about his past in the first place | “You look just fucking like him,” my mother said every night as I tucked her into beer soaked sheets, her words slurring like the world’s most alcoholic bedtime lullaby.
“Sorry,” I’d reply the first few times, a routine that only stopped once she’d gotten in the habit of chucking the bedside ashtray at my head. Cert... | First day of retirement. 40 years on the force and all I have to show for it is this watch and a measly pension enough to let me survive. The least I could do is take a little vacation.
After the decompression chamber I step off the exit ramp onto the receiving station. A bot rolls up to me and projects a welcome sig... | 2020-07-16T15:17:28 | 2020-07-16T14:28:10 | 29 | 16 |
[WP] In this fantasy world, girls masquerading as boys to earn their knighthoods is so common that a group of trainees all swear their best friend is a lady. He isn't. | "Just look at *him*. If that isn't the press of a fine buxom, strapped tight beneath a strap under *his* shirt, then I don't know what breasts even are." Jamie laughed, throwing a pine cone in Avery's direction. The assembled squires all laughed with resounding hoots as they cooed at Avery in unison.
Within the group... | "Show me your penis!" Malthus demanded sternly. Just a few days ago, he would have never imagined that this particular constellation of words would leave his lips. Though still a young boy, aged fifteen, Malthus felt confident in his sexuality. "Ew! Why do you want to see my penis? Are you gay or something?" retorted R... | 2015-12-31T08:42:44 | 2015-12-31T06:33:47 | 32 | 12 |

[CW] Write a short story where the first sentence has 20 words, 2nd sentence has 19, 3rd has 18 etc. Story ends with a single word | Slowly I pull into the driveway, noticing that there is an extra car in the spot where I usually park.
“Who is this,” I wonder, hoping that our friend Dave had stopped by in his travels through the area.
As I walk quietly through the door, a trail of clothing greets me, and the sounds of pleasure.
I enter the hallwa... | "Look out for that tree, you're gonna have one of our heads off in a minute if you're not careful."
I didn't slow down, despite John's protests we had to take the risk and ride fast through the forest. The job had been easy, too easy now that I look back; sleepy guards, compliant staff, calm bystanders.
"One last job... | 2017-01-14T21:07:16 | 2017-01-14T16:42:22 | 49 | 20 |
[WP] You're a cleaner for a famous assassin. You just found out it is your spouse. This infuriates you not because of the secrets or killing, but because you've been cleaning up after your spouse at home and at their work all this time. | "And then, he said,"
'But why *would* I clean it? You're obviously better at it!'
The severe looking woman at the desk stared at the *cleaning lady*. Great euphemism, if a bit on the nose. She stared for a solid eight seconds before taking a breath and issuing her reply.
"And so then, you killed your spouse, our top... | "I have enough. It has to stop"
That sentence was painfull to hear... I decided to use it.
My F bomb that I promised I would never use when she told it to me 4 years ago. Now was my payback!
Of course, she froze and was visibly confused.
I have spent the week wondering how to tell her I have discovered her secret.... | 2021-02-11T13:24:16 | 2021-02-11T13:20:39 | 143 | 77 |
[WP] You're the henchman of a B-list supervillain. The thing is... You're really good at your job, so you're way more known and feared than him. | As the exposition entered its twenty-sixth minute, his eye patch began to itch, as it often did in moments of boredom. Lifting a finger to massage the affected area, Yuri considered not for the first time (nor, likely, the last) the reason that Dr. Evil felt the need to explain his plots in intricate detail. Every time... | "You were in the press again!"
"I'm sorry, sir. I'll try better next time."
"You're damn right you will! I'm the one they should be paying attention too!"
Dr. Blech stormed out of the room angrily, whipping his long, white lab coat around dramatically as he left.

[WP] You are immortal, and saw the birth of the human race. Now you sit by their bedside and watch, as the last human dies. | His name is, appropriately, Adam.
I find him after following his trail for weeks. He lies against a massive redwood, skin haggard and yellow, nearly dead already from exposure and disease. He bleeds from a bite wound on his hand - a raccoon, or maybe a wild dog. His white hair falls past his shoulders, clumped and dir... | “They were our children,” she sighs, gracefully moving from her spot in the arm chair.
Her bare feet make only the slightest sound as they press against and lift up from the linoleum tiles which are mostly white with a few rogue red, black, and blue tiles scattered throughout. Seemingly random colours made only for ... | 2016-10-18T17:44:46 | 2016-10-18T17:44:40 | 685 | 63 |
[WP] Sick of being lied to you beg the Gods for change and one takes pity on you. Now when people lie to you a little text box appears next to them that only you can see, with the lie, the truth, and their motive for lying. | "Have you done it yet?"
The being, a god, apparently, smiles.
"Yep," it says, "all done."
"Huh," I say, "I didn't feel a thing."
"Told you I'd be gentle," it replies, beaming wider. "Now, remember, no backsies."
"Oh, no," I shake my head, "definitely not. I'm sick of being lied to. I think you've really helped me... | After my deal with the devil or maybe it was an asshole god trying to play a trick on me. Possibly Loki, I don’t know. I just remember being drunk and agreeing to something stupid.

With today's victim he gets a clue as to why... | At first I thought it was because I was careful. Streetwalking hookers, stumblebum drunks on skid row, migrant farm laborers, always a victim that most of society wouldn't miss. At first it was relatively innocent like a child pulling the wings off of an insect not quite sure what the impact of his actions will be. I'm... | *I'm a killer, through and through
I'm a killer, but that never fazed you.
You brought all your friends here to die
Yet you never even went to cry.*
One day I check my count
108 bodies is quite the amount
Never one have I seen the police
I guess they're occupied with farmers steeling fleece.
