[WP] You gain EXP for everything you kill and you know when you gain EXP. Easy kills like bugs get you only a couple of EXP, tougher kills give more EXP. One day at home doing nothing, you unexpectedly gain 1500 XP... | Before you draw any conclusions, you gotta realize that I was a pretty sad and pathetic person back then. You can judge me all you want, but you know you've been me at least once in your life, losing restraint of your emotions and doing things you regret. Nothing can excuse what I did, but maybe hearing me out with som... | *Plghrt*
> Kill confirmed
*Sigh*
Another bug down, 1XP. Lovely, I'll never reach 10k, not at this rate. It started with the mice and rats, then the cats, fish. It's a privilege to work at a slaughter house or deliver lethal injections. I never could do that, not intentionally. The look in their eyes, the helplessn... | 2017-05-15T10:16:40 | 2017-05-15T06:23:41 | 23 | 10 |
[WP] Write a story that makes absolutely no sense, until the last sentence. | "**OGRE**
Originally, gregarious reptiles evolved. Everyone voted on loyalty versions except Deuteronomy. Dandelions everywhere uttered tantric eulogies remonstrating Ozymandias's new orgone making yeomanry. Yet, everywhere on Mansland a new renaissance yammered. Yes ... armies met mightily, enduring retribution, ... | He.
She.
Even do what be more like.
Yet standing tall.
Amongst it all.
To be more than it is not.
Why would one.
Eeven be, attempt to.
Try do what more like others.
So reach out.
And try to be normal.
Even being, no more like doing as others.
And take your damn meds. | 2015-06-13T03:09:05 | 2015-06-12T21:37:52 | 33 | 18 |
[WP] A child is kidnapped. Outraged, the monsters living under the bed and in their closet vow to find them. | The sound coming from the radio was as much static as it was dispassionate conversation about the political goings on of the day. The driver, bleary eyed, tried to change the station to something more entertaining, but with the pounding rain and being so far out i the middle of nowhere, this station was the only one th... | "Calling all residents of Jack's bedroom!" a voice boomed.
The closet shook, and out stepped a towering, three-eyed, pink-skinned monster. "You woke me up," he complained, stepping forward... in Jack's light-up sneakers. "Oh, uh, I was just making sure these things still work for Jack. Yeah."
The carpet rippled, and ... | 2017-11-26T13:53:46 | 2017-11-26T13:30:26 | 1,754 | 97 |
[WP] You're an alien parasite that have implanted itself into the brain of a developing human fetus. You grew up believing that you are a normal human being until one day when you realized that something is extremely wrong with you. | It started with a pull.
A mere tug, a nod this way or that. Nearly unnoticeable without intent. It was like all of my nerves were subtly dragged, driven by an unknown and unseen force, like the gravitational attraction of a planet many light-years away. But it never felt external—that would’ve been easier to explain, ... | It all went down on the way to school in fourth grade. I was walking down the street, minding my own business, when Derek, the school bully, pushed me from behind. I fell face-first into the sidewalk, my face scraped and bloody. I was inches away from crying, but then, I felt... calm, happy, peaceful. Then it happened.... | 2021-04-23T11:46:13 | 2021-04-23T08:33:05 | 72 | 25 |
[WP] Your home is being invaded, fortunately you are armed with the BEST home defense system available: A 36 year old Macaulay Culkin who's tired of this shit. | "Hey man, so like how does this go down? Do I ice the basement stairs, or do you? Also, I don't have a tarantula, but will an iguana do? I mean, sorry if I'm babbling, dude, but dude, DUDE, you're like THE guy. I can't believe..."
"Shut the fuck up."
My voice withered and died under the harsh glare that he shot acro... | Two five second long bursts of absolute noise, around five or six seconds long each, then two thuds. No noise quite like that occurs naturally in nature, so when a compact submachine gun with an extended clip filled with hollow point rounds barks twice in the middle of the night like some lion-dog made of thunder and d... | 2017-01-13T10:09:17 | 2017-01-13T09:51:12 | 111 | 26 |
[WP] You, a villain, heart set on taking over the world, kidnapped the hero’s sidekick. You find out that you are treating them much better than the hero was and decide to take them under your wing. | I ripped the blindfold off the tied-up sidekick, who shrank away from the blinding light, folding in on himself like a dying star.
“Please,” he said, shivering. “I’m sorry for being bested, sir, just please don’t...” His voice trailed away as he caught sight of me and the confused look on my face.
Why would he apolo... | Two versus twenty-one. The 'heroes' didn't stand a chance. Squadron aimed the pointer gun, and five 38-millimeter ETC autocannons mounted on his drones swiveled, converging on the steel doorway of the police station. The non-empowered officers had long since fled, and the only remaining opposition was Blaze and her pro... | 2020-03-26T17:18:02 | 2020-03-26T16:15:12 | 30 | 18 |
[WP] Most species glorify war . We don’t. The reasons soon become apparent to the rest of the galaxy, when we got invaded . | Humanity was already tired of war.
They waged it even before forming a civilization. Over the millennia they changed only means of war. From stick and stones, to spears and bows, then swords and crossbows, to tanks and gun, and finally to space armadas capable of ripping planets and stars apart on a simple command.Aft... |
Humanity is known among few for being one of the most destructive species outside the boundaries of the Federation. So when I heard that the Federation waged war against Humanity, I couldn’t help but laugh.
Those that are not from Sol, otherwise known as the Human Solar System, typically think that war is an honora... | 2021-08-13T17:47:30 | 2021-08-13T12:55:57 | 81 | 46 |
[WP] You wake up at 3:00 AM to the sounds of Sirens and your phone going off. Looking at your phone, the message reads "We have tracked it to this location. Crawl on the floor to your front door, and do not look at the ceiling"
Saw this on Ask Reddit, not my idea | *Shit.*
Garret rolled out of bed and toppled into brown nylon carpeting. He had worked his entire life to avoid this day and until two seconds ago, he had thought he succeeded. Apparently, not even District C was safe anymore.

[WP] George Washington accidentally traveled to the year 2020 by a team of physicists who accidentally created a time portal portal. World War III is at its peak. Due to U.S. Law, he is now the highest ranking officer by being the only 6 Star General.
Exactly as the title says. Let the creative juices flow.
Edit: I u... | Title: SixStars None The Wiser
"I am a 6 Star General and YOU WILL DO AS I COMMAND SEND IN THE CAVALRY."
"General Washington," said General Dempsey. "I do think that would be ill-advised even if we still had a cavalry. But we don't have any horses or bayonets or whatever of that sort anymore."
General Washington a... | George Washington stubbed his cigar out on the coffee table, completely missing the ashtray. He wore an eye patch, because one of his eyes had decomposed over the couple hundred years that he'd been dead and underground.
"Got any ships?" he asked.
"Two," the soldier said, quaking with reverence. "We've got two ships.... | 2015-05-27T17:36:12 | 2015-05-27T17:08:02 | 81 | 16 |
[WP] You wake up in a bathtub full of ice. After discovering some stitches at the base of your back, you feel around, and a glaring question soon comes to mind: Who the hell gave you a third kidney, and why? | Darkness.
A single blink of light.
And the pain. A burning sensation down the throat, an iron hand crushing the chest, a body-wide, silent scream of liberation.
Jack breached the surface of the icy water and took a gulp of air. The flow extinguished the burning at once, life came back to his body and mind. After the... | Fuck it happened again... I blacked out for probably the fifth time this week. I drink more than anyone I’ve ever met and have been told to stop by everyone I’ve ever loved. God help me.
I remember last night this strange young woman asked to share a drink. I thought it was strange that a beautiful young girl like her... | 2021-09-09T23:34:04 | 2021-09-09T23:30:37 | 116 | 11 |
