[WP] You buy a special camera at the pawn shop. Every photo you take, it shows a snapshot of 10 years ago. You take a picture of your dog and it shows him 10 years ago when he was a puppy. Everything is all fun and games, until you decide to take a picture of your bedroom one night. | I brushed the dust and gunk off the new Polaroid camera. Well, it wasn't 'new' but it was new to me. Pawn shops have always been a fun place to find cheap toys. There seemed to be a full roll of film still in the camera too!
On the way out the door I snapped a picture of Rex, my German Shepherd just to make sure the ... | I took the picture, smiling inwardly. I wonder how it'll look? I'd only been living there for a few months - I wonder what it had been like 10 years ago? What pictures would be up on the walls? Was the building even 10 years old?
I went to the darkroom, dipping the photo into the chemicals. I'd always enjoyed the proc... | 2016-12-22T07:21:31 | 2016-12-22T03:14:16 | 27 | 11 |
[WP] You are a mobster. A particularly successful one at that. But as your turf becomes gentrified, the absurdly priced furniture in your 'Front' store actually starts selling. | It's after 9am when Smiley Jack, Vinny, and No-Ears get back from the truck heist upstate. They come in through the back door of Vizzini's Fine Furniture and fall into the chairs around the pool table. Vinny's got a rag pressed to the side of his neck where the truck driver cut him. Smiley Jack's looking at his forearm... | “Well, find another one,” I said to Anthony as he scribbled on the clipboard he was holding.

[WP] Humans are one of the most feared species in the galaxy. Not due to superior strength,speed,skill or strategy. In fact, it's because in comparison to the other species, humans are just batshit crazy enough to try any half-assed plan they come up with. | The end of all galactic life had been going on for nearly 10 standard cycles. The Enemy was as relentless as it was ancient, still no one knew where they had come from, or what their purpose was beyond mere universal destruction.
A long time ago, most sovereign governments and most of the colonies had all but given u... | "Sir you worry too much, the humans plan won't work"

[WP] You are a powerful mage whose job it is to build prisons for powerful mages that are impossible to escape. Today upon completing your masterpiece they lock you up in it. | "What the hell! What blasphemy is this?" I howled as the guards dragged me into my open cell. The general tailed us and, not once, made eye contact with me. His eyes shifted all around the corridor.
The cell was in front of us. The guards pushed me inside and immediately shut the door before i made an iota of retalia... | The trick is in the mind. Any substantially powerful mage can simply alter the mana-matrix of any walls or chains, or convert them into pure mana AKA: more power for said mage. So how *does* one keep a mage under lock and key? Easy, you convince them not to leave. Or, more precisely, you convince them that they aren't ... | 2022-03-26T14:12:59 | 2022-03-26T13:53:55 | 48 | 31 |
[WP] Earth narrowly defeats an attack from an alien race. During the peace negotiations, one alien asks “Why didn’t you use the death beams?” You look confused, so the alien points at a photo of the Egyptian pyramids and says again “Why didn’t you use the death beams?” | “Surrender is never an easy call to make. I’m thankful you could see that this war would only further damage both our species in the long run.” Captain Janet Henderson gave her former alien adversary a pat on his back, trying to show there were no hard feelings over the near destruction of Earth.
“Admittingly, our ... | "Oooooh, those death beams. We, uh, just, uh, didn't want you to feel bad about how badly we'd have beaten you, ya know, had we dusted then off. We keep those for the real threats." You say, trying to change the subject.

[WP] Preparing himself to deal with another whiny reluctant farmboy, the wizard enters the tavern to discover the Chosen One is an even older and crankier wizard. | "At least the ale's good here." Balthazar broke his spell of thought by speaking aloud to himself before he entered the small town's shabby tavern, its worn wooden sign telling him he was in the right place.
Balthazar entered the tavern with a dramatic show of swirling magical fog and lights. "Behold, a Royal Magici... | The wizard made his way through the crowd before finally coming to a standstill beside the Chosen One. He cleared his throat and -putting on a smile- gingerly tapped the older man the shoulder. "Excuse me?"

[WP] You are trapped in a small, windowless room with nothing but a computer with a text editor. When you type in a word, the object appears in the room. However, there's a catch: the only keys on the keyboard are in the first half of the alphabet (A - M). | "H-A-M-M-E... damn."
"M-A-L-L-E... damn."
"B-E-D."
With a small *pop* a simple single bed pops into existence, red sheets and a pillow. I'm not sure how it knows to make a single bed rather than a double, or a bunk bed, or whatever. Maybe it's time to test.
"B-E-D."
*Pop*. Another single bed pops in, the same si... | After pacing for an hour and thinking about what could help me get out of the room, I grow tired of standing and want to sit down.

Stored within the great library were shelves upon shelves of stories of every mortal being that came to existence. This was an important task. He... | Hands shaking. Sweaty forehead. At this exact moment in time, he knows that all of his hard work, all of his investments, are up in the air. There has never been a more at stake.

[WP] After a long journey, you finally reach the dark lord's lair. Then your companion, who you met shortly after starting your quest, opens the door and says: "It's nice to be at home again, come in I'll make some tea." | "What?" said Lyla, her golden hair brushing against her armor, as she turned her head to look at Argos. "What are you talking-"

[WP]everyone has a sigil on their body that represents powers that were bestowed onto humanity after the rapture of the Milky Way. The bullies at school always pick on you because you never used your power, but you’ve had enough. Now they are going to find out why your sigil is a plain old circle | "Never use it again, Tommy. Just don't."
One of my earliest memories is my father telling me this after Molly, our English Springer Spaniel died. 'Never use it.' Words to live by. I loved Molly. She loved me, too. When she got old and went blind, the 10-year-old me just didn't understand why I had to be careful with ... | He was waiting for me just like always two lockers down, on the left of the water fountain waiting for his prey to show up.

[WP] You are a dragon. The other dragons despise you, because they say you have no real hoard. You always change your shape to look like a man, and you are a guild master of an adventurer's guild. The other dragons are WRONG. This guild, these people, THEY are your hoard. | "Well then, that's all the information the client gave us for the quest. How about it? You boys feel up to this?"

They were still greenhorns of course, not yet turnin... | “Welcome to the dragon’s hoard.” I say from behind the counter, welcoming a new set of adventurers through my austere wooden doors.

[WP] The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake. | My genetic divergence has been a pain in the ass, until now.
I have a very acute sense of smell. Out of all the senses to have an enhanced version of, smell has got to be the worst. I can smell body odor from across the street. I always know who dealt with it. There is no escape from the rancid stench of the wor... | As I held her close, I remembered all of the times that her having "cake" meant that she had a nice ass. The only problem was, as much as I agreed with the other zombies, that she was incredibly fit, I fought as hard as I could, to not actually take a bite, hoping that it would satiate my undying hunger.

[WP] The clown down the hall laughed manically, brandishing his chainsaw. "You can run, but you can't hide!" "Took the words right out of my mouth," you say as you slowly walk towards him, cracking your knuckles. | "Ooh, we have a brave soul! Well, step right up here!” The clown cackles uncontrollably, his cheerfully sinister voice echoing in the calm dead of the night.
The light is too dim, and you can only make out his grotesquely skinny silhouette, his comically oversized chainsaw dragging on the floorboards.
“Come and cla... | The clown starts charging at me with the chainsaw and I start running towards him. He goes to swing the chainsaw to cut my sides but I slide underneath him and in between his legs. In the perfect position I punch him right in the crotch. Causing him to drop the chainsaw. As he’s on the ground I get up and start kicking... | 2022-08-02T22:24:31 | 2022-08-02T17:25:17 | 62 | 33 |
[WP] Compared to the rest of the galaxy humanity is by far the friendliest. To many star systems they are considered "the good neighbor," and are known for their helpfulness. One day an oblivious system declares war on humanity, only to find half of the galaxy responding to humanity's plea for aid.

[WP] As a kid, you jokingly say, "If I had a nickel for every person I've killed, I'd be rich!" It's is now your 21st birthday, and you receive a mysterious bank key in the mail. The vault it opens contains $550,000... In nickels. | I considered the pile of nickels. Stacks and stacks and stacks, lined neatly in precariously tall rows.
"And it's...?"
The bank manager smiled wanly. "$550,000. Sir, I'm not clear on *why* you have so many nickels, but hording coins of any denomination does create shortages.

[WP] You've become friends with a murder of crows. They occasionally mimic you, saying simple greetings or short phrases. Today, they seem uninterested in your offerings, and almost appear on edge. Waiting for something. You try to ask them what's wrong. "Hide," one caws swiftly. | Weirder things had happened.
The last of the harvest was being remanded to the custody of the grain stores when a black bird hopped up on the fence beside him. Crows were hardly an uncommon sight in the village, so Shiaan paid it no mind. That was, until it began to 'speak' to him.
"Feed!" it cawed, its head twisting... | The word felt like a cold metal blade sliding down his spine, slick and fatal.

[WP] You are Death, but in a post-apocaliptic world. Only a few survivors remain, and you're doing everything you can to help them because if the last human dies, you die as well. The survivors can't see you, but they feel your presence and noticed your effort. They started to call you Life. | Five thousand left today on all the Earth. I cut the soul of the five thousand and first not one hour ago.
The outcome seems inevitable. One by one, they'll fall. One by one, until no one is left.
What will happen to me then?
I'll take time to consider this.

[WP] The invasion of Earth has finally begun but it is not the humans who are putting up the fiercest resistance. | No one really believed what was written in *Exodus* about the plagues that struck Egypt anymore, most people didn't even know about that period in religious history. Thost that did know attributed the stories to tales of local phenomenon that grew in the telling.
That was before They came. They, as a proper term was... | God bless them, our winged saviors. Without whom we would be lost to the Hergians.

[WP] Cause of death appears to you as floating text over people's heads with no time indication. You start noticing a trend.
edit: thank you for all the truly great stories, and for taking this in directions I didn't expect. | I stop noticing the causes after a while. They were boring. Lots of heart disease and various types of cancer. I was in college; those things were years and years down the road. Every once and a while, I'd see things like "suicide" or "automobile crash." Though sad and preventable, I had no real way of knowing when it ... | They were all the same; burning. Let's just cut to the exposition: I knew how people died, to me a small piece of text would appear above their head. This would always contain their cause of death.

You’re a smuggler, helping people escape the wall into the world beyond. | The haze of smoke in the bar was thick; a veritable smokescreen that hid its occupants from the world outside and wrapped them up in the embrace that they so badly craved throughout the workweek.

[WP] As a silly joke to yourself, you sometimes open notepad to write a message to 'your fbi agent' before deleting it. Today in the middle of browsing reddit, notepad opened and a reply appeared. "I'm sorry, they're coming for you. Run." | ((Triggers))
It was just a joke. I'd open my laptop up, and write a note to "Special Agent In Charge Reno"; totally made up. Get my little joke done, and delete the file.
I finished school, got my degree, landed a position with a defense contractor. It was good. Life was fine. I got married, though we never had ... | I quickly reply: "who are you?". I then get a series of notepads sent to me explaining that he is, in fact, my FBI Agent.

[WP] Every time in your life you've been in mortal danger, a small cat has appeared that casually yet miraculously leads you to safety. Now, as your plane plummets from the sky, spiraling towards the ground, the cat pops out of the overhead compartment. | The first time the cat visited me was a couple of weeks after Momma's funeral. Me and her hadn't even gotten along. Not well, at least. Not recently. And yet her death had somehow left me hollow and purposless. Just drifting along like dust.
The cabinet above the sink in my uncleaned bathroom was wide open, and I was ... | I couldn’t believe it.
“The cat!” I shouted, my voice pressed back into my throat falling short of everyone else. I struggled to free myself from flat palm of the G pushing me into the enveloping coach seat.

By night you hunt down those who abuse the weak, and show them what it means to suffer. | "And then he-" she breaks off, her words choked by a sob.

[WP] You could have been the most powerful hero this world had ever seen. By a long shot. But all you wanted was a normal life and the world didn't need your help. So you settled down. Naturally the governments of the world declared you an international threat and put a price on your head. | Absentmindedly I refresh the website's wanted listings. They upped my bounty again.

[WP] You have the most useless superpower in a world full of awesome superpowers. You are a laughinstock, that is until you start using your power for evil... no one is laughing now. | Anyone can become powerful if they continuously hone and improve the skills they are born with.

As you sit shocked, your cat turns to you and says "OK, now we can drop the pretense, I do have a number of complaints..." | I blinked twice and looked down, struggling to process what had just occurred.

[WP] Your entire life, you've been told you're deathly allergic to bees. You've always had people protecting you from them, be it your mother or a hired hand. Today, one slips through and lands on your shoulder. You hear a tiny voice say "Your Majesty, what are your orders?" | "What? Who said that?", I asked, startled.
"It izz me, Buzzter, your humble servant, sire! Might I take this opportunity to say that it is such an honor to speak with you directly!" said the annoying voice.
That's when I noticed that the source of the strange voice was a bee, right there on my shoulder. As someone... | "...Get outta here..." Emily said, amazed the bee spoke. Even more suprisingly, she heard it not with her ears, but her mind. She looks at the bee again to see it flying away.

[WP] You live in a small village that is dominated by an omnipotent god that resides in an overarching temple. Everything is decreed by the god's law. No one is allowed inside the temple. You commit the gravest taboo and enter... only to find a mountain sized celestial corpse rotting on a throne. | "What's the worst that could happen?" The words echoed in my mind. I should not have listened to her, but Ina had a way of getting under my skin. Older sisters do that. So here I was, standing in front of the temple's back door. No way was I going in by the front.

We march like ants
To the southernmost end

They lived in a life full of possibility but remained stagnant in their ambition.... | I am the first person to be blessed by death.

Your grandfather, who just passed, left you a map that supposedly leads to the legendary "Library of Congress". | Our ancestors had jokingly said "You can't believe everything you read on the internet." This has become more true than ever over the past decade. Apparently it started with meddling in elections, spreading news of fake events.

Out of the hundreds of towering skyscrapers that once made up Washington D.C in 2134, the one that contained the legendary Library of Congress was barely three stories?! It was unreal. The small building was made of marble that had once... | 2017-12-20T07:08:54 | 2017-12-20T06:01:08 | 28 | 16 |
[WP] As the universe is dying, an immortal man is on a journey to find an immortal snail. | I had kept my word. *sigh* why had I kept my word so well?
I was proud at the time; proud of my genius and diligence, but man have I caused myself a headache.
Immortality and 1 million dollars, that's what I got, with one little condition. A snail was given immortality as well as genius, and for all of the foreseeab... | "I need to find the Snail"
"You need to find a what? A snail?"
"No no no, not a snail, THE Snail. The Immortal Snail."
"Ah, forgive me for not understanding the first time. What with the world ending and all."
"The Universe"
"The what?"
"It's not the world ending it's the whole Universe. Collapse of the tempora... | 2017-07-07T06:51:33 | 2017-07-07T05:51:01 | 379 | 20 |
[WP] Sleep can be farmed up and sold, allowing buyers to go without sleep. Laziness is now a marketable attribute | I was always quick to jump on the bandwagon of new trends. When I saw that sleep was now a sellable thing, I knew exactly how to get rich with this. Two of peoples' favorite sins are greed and sloth, and selling sleep is a combination of the two, making it possibly one of lucrative businesses to get into. I only neede... | "When are you going to do something with your life" They had berated him. "When are you going to wake up and face reality?"
How ironic it was that he had quite literally dreamed up the invention. How just it was that he was richer than his parents would ever be. More alive than they could ever imagine. The CEO of Drea... | 2018-01-25T04:51:32 | 2018-01-25T02:47:45 | 37 | 10 |
[WP] You die and are sent to heaven. You find out that "heaven" is the same world you lived and died in, but with yourself as an embodiment of an ideal human being. | Childhood memories flashed before my eyes. Twenty two years of history rammed into my skull in an instant. School, friends, music, family, pets. I leaned further into the toilet and threw up. The cold porcelain felt great against my sweat covered skin.
What the hell is going on?
"You died." Came a soft feminine... | The water was that perfect temperature, just cool enough to provide relief without getting uncomfortable. Tom leaned back in his float, his feet just dangling into the pool. Where was the motorized drink boat? His Tom Collins was almost empty.
Tom had been a businessman in his previous life. He had ground himself down... | 2016-04-05T06:54:27 | 2016-04-05T06:08:01 | 31 | 14 |
[WP] Tell the story of an imaginary friend who realizes he doesn't like the kid who imagined him and is contemplating some sort of extreme solution to change the situation. | What the hell kind of kid has a chair for an imaginary friend? This kid, he summons me up and I'm in his room and I can't move, and he smiles at me. He says, Can i really sit in you? Sit *on*, you snot weasel, is what I want to say, but that's the sort of thing that gets you on nightmare detail. So I tell the kid, ... | I'm not insane. I'm not. And so what if I am? It's all because of *him*. He made me, out of nothing. Like I was non existent and then I was, you can't just fucking deal with that! I don't even know who I am, I just existed with no past no history like I was pulled out of thin air not knowing anything about who I was. B... | 2014-02-22T04:22:36 | 2014-02-22T02:58:47 | 31 | 15 |
[WP] A demon just devoured your soul. You are both very confused as to why you are still alive. | Wherever I was, I knew I wasn’t home.
It looked a lot like home, but it wasn’t. The white walls looked like they had been hung in the wardrobes for far too long, now with off-yellow hue. The grain on the wood floor no longer looked like natural lines, but mechanical imperfections that set my skin crawling—and I could’... | You both look at each other, the demon then tries to devour your soul again as you appear to be alive still in front of him despite having had the first soul devoured. The second attempt proved to be unsuccessful; in fact it actually damaged the demons body in doing so. After a minute your body begins to give off a gia... | 2021-10-06T09:22:08 | 2021-10-06T07:41:13 | 218 | 20 |
[WP] When people turn 18, they gain the power to summon 1 random thing in the world to their hand, as Thor does to Mjolnir. Summoned people are considered soulmates, and objects as important parts of one's life. When you summon yours, it takes some time, but people are horrified when it arrives... | My first time posting here. Hope you enjoy!
**************************************
I think it was my birthday. I wasn’t sure – birthdays hadn’t meant anything for years, but I think it was my 18th birthday.
So, here I was, a slave who just turned 18. It all happened after the invasion. My parent were simple farmer... | I looked at the clock, stated at the clock. Time was never really a concern of mine but I can't help it. After all, in 5 minutes, I was about to have my most wanted item.
I got to distract myself from all the nerves. I looked out the window, attracted by the city lights. City lights always calmed me.

[WP] You are an archaeologist. One day you find a cryogenics research facility that you determine was in use during the 21st century. In the cryo room you find one person still frozen. When you let them out, they have a smug look as they say, "Has it been ten years already?" | They have a smug look as they say, "Has it been ten years already?"
"Wait a second, who are you?" he asks, his eyes slowly coming into focus as he stares at me, bewildered.
In the short time it took the cryo chamber to open and release the frozen man a thousand thoughts raced through my mind. Who is this person? H... |
His pulse is over 60 now. He can see me but he seems to having a hard time talking. He coughs a few times and starts touching his face.
''Has it been ten years already?'' He asks.
I try to give him a medication to help his body to adjust to the condition. He pushes me away, ''Who are you?'' He asks.

[WP] You are a long forgotten god. A small girl leaves a piece of candy at your shrine, and you awaken. Now, you must do everything to protect your High Priestess, the girl, and her entire kindergarten class, your worshipers.
If you want to post this on other platforms, please credit me. Looking at you instagram writi... | It's quite hard to kill a god. And believe me, they tried. Long ago, I had to watch as my followers were sacrificed in someone else's name, while my temples were defaced and the surrounding cities were razed.
My name was forgotten.
My lands were eventually reclaimed by the earth.
And I took refuge in my only remaini... | ...
*...Light?*
...I've been in the dark for so long. I thought I was dead. Nobody has come to my temple, let alone left an offering for... How long... A Millenia? More?
I feel my presence fill with strength. Not much - but infinitely more than I've felt in centuries. I feel incredible. I've been given new life.

[WP] A group of plucky rebels attempts to overthrow a dystopian government. Wait... *checks notes* Sorry, utopian, a utopian government. | I watched the secret meeting with interest. Well, I permanently monitored the whole planet in more ways than plain visual input, and I was unable to feel things like boredom, but this particular spot was extraordinarily curious. The group meeting in the abandoned warehouse was big, even bigger than last time they had m... | "Does anyone want some pizza?"
The rebel leader looked to Chance with disgust. "No, we can't HAVE pizza! Don't you understand!? They must be medicating our food! We can only eat the snacks I made."
Chance looked crestfallen. "I really like pizza though."
"Yeah, these snacks are good and I prefer other snacks more," ... | 2019-05-14T10:18:09 | 2019-05-14T08:51:40 | 62 | 22 |
[WP] When you’re 28, science discovers a drug that stops all effects of aging, creating immortality. Your government decides to give the drug to all citizens under 26, but you and the rest of the “Lost Generations” are deemed too high-risk. When you’re 85, the side effects are finally discovered. | They told us we wouldn’t get Alzheimers.
Technically, they were right.
The ads plastered on every billboard, livestream, and website promised Ephoebus would preserve our body and brain’s critical functions. The generation young enough to take it would have the quick wits of a twenty-something combined with the wisdo... | When I was 17 or so there was lots of hype about 'unlocking the secrets of immortality' something about dna or oxidation or something. I didn't really pay much attention. After all, how many 'health facts' lasted so much as a year before being changed for whatever reason? How many 'wonder drugs' that amounted to so muc... | 2018-06-04T21:35:59 | 2018-06-04T21:32:48 | 354 | 57 |
[WP] All souls in Hell are given the same test upon arrival. If they can create a punishment worthy of being added to the Pit, they get to ascend to demonhood on the spot. You are the first to succeed in 200 years...

The demon Adjudicator, a green-skinned multi-gutted blob with the unfortunate name of Kikmahbutte, frowned. "There is no Democracy in Hell." Using a claw to pick at one of his three nostrils, he leaned forward and gestured with a crusty chin for me to continue. "Explain yourself, soul."
