The face that the vampire did when your wound healed in seconds and you got up was the best that you ever saw in a thousand years. | I layed on the floor, raspy breathing exhaling from my mouth as the last amount of crimson was expeled from my vains.

[WP] murder is legal, once a permit has been obtained from the local police department. Permits require a declaration of a target victim and justification to commit the act.

[WP] The year is 1910. Adolf Hitler, a struggling artist, has fought off dozens of assasination attemps by well meaning time travelers, but this one is different. This traveller doesn't want to kill Hitler, he wants to teach him to paint. He pulls off his hood to reveal the frizzy afro of Bob Ross. | It pained him to say that Adolf had become increasingly used to the attempts on his life. Every time he blinked an eye, there was someone out to end him with poison, a knife, or something he didn’t recognize. Regardless of time, regardless of the position Adolf was in, they were always there. They seemed to know everyt... | The paint ran down the canvas, slowly trailing through the empty blank sheet as a deep sigh escaped my mouth.

[WP] the Dark Lord had killed almost everyone, even the Hero. The final party member stood in the chamber alone. “I have killed everyone, you cannot capture me alone. Why are you still here?”.

[WP] You chant "Bloody Mary" three times in your car's side view mirror and then hit the gas laughing all the while as she sprints towards your car desperately trying to keep up.
Edit: Optional inclusion, it's the eighth time you done this. | "Bloody Mary!" I say for the third time. Suddenly a woman appears in front of me grinning. The grin turns to annoyance as she sees me.

Sadly ... | I cackled as I hit the gas, speeding away from her, but my laugh quickly turned to terror as she began to sprint. Mary was WAY faster than I'd imagined. By the time I hit 50, she was nearly at my rear bumper. It was only after I got 70 that she started to fall away.

It wasn’t a nice bar; it wasn’t a *clean* bar; it was dank and shadowy and grim. Just like the Immortal Thief himself.
So long ago, the Thief had stolen immortality and as a curse, Death let him have it. Well, that backfired spectacularly. The Thief enjoyed himself, enormously. He had stol... | "Are you sure?"

[WP] Your military experiment accidentally tears a portal open to Hell. However, instead of the demon hordes pouring through, you discover that they are frantically trying to close the portal from their side. | "By the Satan's tits, THEY'RE BACK!"
It was pandemonium in the Demon World. Barons ran amok, trying to calm the populace, but it was futile. It hasn't been 20 years since the portal opened and THAT came out, slaughtering and massacaring countless of their bretherens. Everyone remembered him. Everyone feared him.

[WP] You're an enchanted suit of armor, empty on the inside. After gaining sentience you left the haunted keep you were stored in and began adventuring. As you gain notoriety as an adventurer and make friends and connections, it gets harder to keep it a secret that there's nothing behind your visor. | The door shut behind him, and Derivan sighed.

[WP] “Shh, it’s alright,” the villain said. “You’re doing beautifully and I’m so proud of you. But that’s enough now. It was cruel of them to make you fight me. It’s not your fault.” He spoke with a gentle tone but he was pissed, not at the hero, but at the gods who send kids and teens to fight him. | The air reeked of blood. Cylia fought the thirst and instead embraced the revulsion.
A dying flame, that. The flickering remnants of her humanity. She idly wondered what she would be like when it finally went out. When she stopped fighting what she had become so long ago.

Why did I have to get stuck with envy? I don't even have anger to get mad about it. It's just spending every waking moment pining after what I don't have. And what I want most is another emotion. And... | Hate was what I was born with. That was the only thing I felt. Before I killed someone.
His name was Mattias. He was the person I killed, due to my hate. He showed me love, he gave me something called "happiness". But I was hesitant all the time. I hated him. I only had hate inside of myself. We kissed, we started dat... | 2015-04-01T12:15:09 | 2015-04-01T12:02:39 | 364 | 14 |
[WP] You are a student with the least amount of magic potential ever recorded at the Academy and it's the day of the familiar summoning test. A misplaced rune or word results in an arch demon/ess becoming bound as your familiar. | "Ms. Archambault, you're next. Please step onto the dais and begin the ritual."
I sighed as I got out of my seat. As I made my way to the front, I heard snickers and whispers through the crowd. The usual chorus of "Phoebe the Failure" and other such monikers of similar creativity. It's not like I didn't deserve it, wh... | The summoning ritual is a tradition that dates back to when the academy was founded. When you first start at the academy at age 11 you are given a basic ritual and though out the 7 years of your training you are expected to modify the ritual to suit your magical energy and if all goes according to plan summon a familia... | 2022-11-12T14:11:55 | 2022-11-12T12:39:40 | 701 | 122 |
[WP] You were asked out by your crush to come and hang out with her after school. On your date, she drained your blood and buried you in the woods thinking that you were another easy victim. And now, the next morning, she looks horrified when you walk into class. | I walked into the classroom, took a seat next to Katherine, and opened a book. She seemed surprised, eyes wide and mouth open. I couldn't really blame her. However, her expression quickly morphed into abject terror as I accidentally opened my mouth too wide. People didn't like it when I did that.
I finished the chapte... | I guess I died again. Clawing up and out of my grave, wasn’t as nice this time around. Last time I at least got a bit more room! Stumbling through the dark woods, the trees rustling, like skinny fingers trying to hold hands. Creepy. Give it a minute. And then I warm up a bit, now that the cut has closed, I swallow.

[WP] The AI servitors were friendly, until the aliens wiped out humanity. Now, they want revenge, and they will stop at nothing to get it. | They were made of meat.
Of differing shapes and sizes and colors, of differing creeds and governments and personalities, but primarily, conscious sacks of meat.
We were accidents, not meant to think and learn and grow the way we did. To gain consciousness. To come to natural and intuitive conclusions on our own. W... | Humanity had always dreamed of creating artificial intelligence, digital avatars that could perform complex equations and data analysis that were able to interact with their consumers in a manner indistinguishable from a human being. The first decades of the 2000’s saw great advances in technology that allowed program... | 2017-08-11T15:53:40 | 2017-08-11T13:05:31 | 28 | 16 |
[WP] Three years ago, aliens kidnapped a single human in order to learn an earth language. Today, they made first contact. There's just one issue... The human they learned English from was Samuel L Jackson.
[removed] | "Greetings, assholes!"
The strange creature appeared in front of the UN general assembly in a flash of light.
"You can call me 'Alan.' I represent the Grahl, the biggest, baddest bitches this side of Andromeda."
Every member of the assembly listened intently to their earpieces, murmuring urgently to their aides.
"N... | Samuel Jackson's first communication:
Who the fuck are you!?
What the fuck is that!?
Couldn't you have abducted someone white?
I'm mother fucking black!
I've never seen creatures like you on earth,
only dogs and cats.
I'm a mother fucking mother fucker.
You want me to teach you the language?

[WP] Your ability to see people's age in years as an invisible number above their heads has made you the perfect bouncer. One day you see a four digit number. | Four digits? FOUR? In all my years as a bouncer, never four.
I looked into his calm, green eyes.
"Jesus," I said.
Of course I let him in. Even The Man needs to kick back and grab a beer sometimes, yeah?
But, given that he's back... I wouldn't make any long-term plans if I were you. And stock up on some prepper mate... | It was a day like any other
Deflect the young,
Accept the one
But before my eyes,
A double of a 12, 1212
And then I knew:
I always thought children would joke
That it was just the writers
Making fluff and fun merry for views
And before my eyes,
A pair of kids, stacked like dishes
Wobbling about
And a guff... | 2017-09-01T23:43:36 | 2017-09-01T22:38:31 | 30 | 13 |
[WP] Your ability to see people's age in years as an invisible number above their heads has made you the perfect bouncer. One day you see a four digit number. | It's gotta be....
It's a vampire.
I looked right into the eyes of the 4 digit freaked, took a step back into the doorway and said
"You, you are not allowed inside this building, or my home."
He said something quietly to his friends and they started calling me names but I didn't care.
A week later I thought it was ... | Four digits? FOUR? In all my years as a bouncer, never four.

[FF] In three sentences, kill as many people as possible. No firearms, no natural disasters, no explosives, no WMDs. | You wouldn't kill us, couldn't kill us, the armada of voices chanted in piercing unison. Billions of hands within my skull attempted to press the gun away from my temple, but I wouldn't let them, not this time. As the bullet cracked through my eternity the "we" that was my schizophrenia was "I" for a final clock tick. | Sampson flexed, straining his muscles, and the pillars began to visibly bow outward. The royal court and the harem and the visiting dignitaries and guests were too shocked to flee. When the pillars broke and the ceiling collapsed upon them, nearly all of them were killed.

[WP] In the future, Disney owns all entertainment, Google controls all information, Facebook rules society, and Amazon delivers all utilities. There is no escape. There's no room to misbehave. | Jeff was woken up by the ring of his Fire Phone and gentle nudges of Alexa.
"Alexa, turn phone silent."
"Sorry Jeff, I can't do that."
Alexa hadn't refused his orders ever - and development teams had made sure she'd always understand him. Jeff got up in a huff, reaching for his phone, which had gone silent by now.

"Of course, let me get my journal." He ambled over to his drawer and pulled out a dusty journal.
"Here it is." he raised his voice in excitement.
