[WP] At the stroke of midnight on January 1st, 2020, the first snow of the new year and the new decade fell. And it never stopped. | On the second day of continuous snow-fall, I thought that it had been a very good idea to outfit the family in sub-zero tolerant winter gear and that spending a little more on outerwear and thermal layers was going to have a nice ROI. Previously, I had bought things to be prepared only to find ourselves splashing aroun... | "And so began the end of days. All that would remain is night evermore. The warmth slowly left the world and in its place was nothing. A nothingness we named Cold. Cold was a fearsome beast. A relentless hunter, it was uncaring and unfeeling, and spending too long in it made you feel the same way. As the heat left your... | 2019-12-10T12:57:50 | 2019-12-10T12:23:53 | 34 | 14 |
[WP] Despite having pink hair, untold magic power and a tragic backstory, the narrator refuses to make you the main character. | *Pink hair*, *blue eyes*, Starlina Sue thought to herself as she skipped into the woods, a basketmade from pink everwood swinging with my movement. *All the makings for a magical chosen one. Or princess. Or both.*
Unfornatantly for Starlina Sue, this Narrator had other ideas. You see, the author may make up the world ... | "Hey Superman" I say as I sit on the steps.
He smiles at me, and gives a wave "Good to see you too citizen, be safe out there today" and he walks into the Justice League Headquarters. Then batman follows, gives me a nod and keeps walking, Aquaman fists bumps me and tells me to keep up the good work social distancing. ... | 2021-07-04T12:29:19 | 2021-07-04T11:15:44 | 76 | 12 |
[WP] Humanity has merged into a single immortal consciousness. Everyone who has ever lived has become as one, a being of pure energy and infinite love, that shall last to the death of the universe and beyond. And they’re here to explain why they left you out. | Humanity has always wanted to be a part of something bigger, that's what I always heard from priests and shit growing up. Like, we *yearned* for more than our fleeting little mortal existences. And a year ago, humanity got its chance.
Unprecedented peace broke out across the world. Humans came together as one like nev... | (Warning for swears also its 4am here so I didn't really proof read sorry)

“FUCK YOU!” I screamed at the glowing androgynous figure in front of me. You see when humanity agreed to assimilate themselves into one they somehow manifested their entire being into a single androgynous human. Flat chest, no... | 2021-11-18T04:31:37 | 2020-10-17T22:55:24 | 537 | 23 |
[WP] Everytime you touch somebody you get a flash of your entire future with them. | I clasped my hand onto Peter's backpack to avoid losing him as we pushed through the crowded market. As we wended our way though the crowd, I caught snippets of my future with every stranger I brushed up against. One man was a cashier who would sell me some Advil later that day. One was an old lady that I would give up... | I've spent a lot of time thinking about how to abuse my gift to get ahead in life- I mean, if I could poke my teacher and catch a glimpse of his upcoming pop quiz *with the answers*, think of all the other things I could do. Become a doctor and diagnose them with a touch on the arm, or win every game show by shaking th... | 2017-01-11T08:14:18 | 2017-01-11T06:54:11 | 285 | 193 |
[WP] The year is 2030, and the entire world is firmly under the control of the Australian Empire, and no one really understands how it happened. | The last try had just been scored. The Queen let out a tear, then ordered Prince Phillip to shoot her, before the "colonial dogs and dregs got to her." Twickenham was on fire. Rioting was breaking out. The Wallabies had just finished conquering the known world.
Lets rewind a few years.
The Trans Pacific Partnership, ... | "It was our fault ... " the blonde man in Lederhosen sobbed bitterly, his cries and anguish often kept the other POW up at night and thought it earned daily beatings from the men imprisoned with him, that did not seem to deter the man.

[WP] You put on a foil hat as a joke and for the first time your thoughts are clear and your mind is a well oiled machine. Every plot and machination is clearly laid out before you Beautiful Mind-like. Overwhelmed you aggressively grab passerbys and shout the truths. | I ran out of the house in a paranoid haze. That only made things worse. The sensory overload almost fried my brain. Every pebble on the sidewalk, every individual leaf on the trees, everything my eyes gazed in the environment shimmered with a color more deep and beautiful than I had ever perceived in my life. It was su... | The undeniable truth, it has finally lined itself in front of me. Who could have thought the final destination of my grand quest lied under a tinfoil cap?
After all these conspiracies and all these schemes I felt lost, but this desperate attempt has cleared it all for me. Those clever bastards knew it all. They hide t... | 2020-08-26T13:19:18 | 2020-08-26T13:08:17 | 37 | 25 |
[WP] Despite years of research, vetting, and training, the first person to contact extraterrestrial intelligent life goes WAY off script. | I didn’t want to send him. Honestly, I would’ve rather gone with Ted. Sure, he was slightly retarded—sorry, developmentally delayed—but at least I knew he could be trained. Ted was submissive, he was polite. Yes, he drooled a little, but he was a listener.
“We’re not sending a retar—a mentally handicapped individual ... | Terrence Gates stood in the middle of the intense incandescent light descending in front of his meager little body. Surrounded by plastic looking boulders in the middle of the Nevada desert, Terrance was enveloped by the darkness of the midnight desert.

[WP] Dave is the first human convict to arrive in the intergalactic prison. | What surprised him the most, was how clean the facility was. Dave was no expert on prisons. The only time he had ever spent in one was a night in the drunk tank the summer after graduating high school.
"Dave, human of earth, for the crime of sexually harassing the princess of Omega 13 you are sentenced to 3 days." Th... | The airlock hissed and opened and out stepped a man flanked by 20 of the prisons most elite guards. The prisoners stared at this new arrival and began muttering amongst themselves.

[WP] Satan loves dogs but can't ever take one home with him because all dogs go to heaven. That is until now. The Devil is both excited to own his own canine companion, and curious to see why the pup got sent to hell in the first place. | Sure, I'm *supposed* to be evil incarnate, but I always thought that's all just some self-fulfilling prophecy crap. Dad expected bad things from me, so I just lived up to his expectations. Over time, I believed him. Maybe I *am* evil.
My life as The Devil isn't all sunshines and rainbows. You'd think with all these si... | It was the start of the day, he hadn't even gotten out of his morning robes when there was a low easy to miss crack of thunder. But nothing goes unseen in his domain.

[WP] There are many methods of which the dead pass onto the afterlife, two of which are a pair of steam trains. Heaven's train is a luxurious cruise line of white and gold, whilst hell's is a rust-bucket of black and red. So imagine your surprise when you are taken to a solid grey train. | My life was never a spectacular one. I was your typical "Average Joe" working a nine to five job in some cubicle for some company that barely anyone has heard of. The brightest part of my day was typically coming home to see my wife and son, where we had a stereotypical white picket fence surrounding our shortly cut la... | Looking down at the ocean below my both feet, I raised my left foot and moved my right foot forward--
