John Wick: Evening, Jimmy. Noise complaint?
Jimmy: Noise complaint.
[looks over John's shoulder, sees the dead body on the floor behind him]
Jimmy: You... uh..."working" again?
John Wick: No, just sorting some stuff out.
Jimmy: Oh well, I'll leave you be then. Good night, John.

[WP] You have a small superpower. Whenever you tap someone on the shoulder, they always look over that shoulder, without fail. At first, you just used this for harmless pranks. Then, you realized you can kill people by tapping both of their shoulders. | Kindergarten starts today! I'm so excited, I'm a big kid now. My teacher, Ms Mcconel, she's so fun, she plays games, sings songs. We're learning a new song today she says! Yay!
First she shows us, then we do it together.
The music plays.
We put our hands on our heads
"heaads"
Then our shoulders

... | It took me a while before I knew what it was. I was always a nosy child, and I wanted my parents to notice me. Every time my fingers touched their shoulders, they'd look over at me. No fail. I'd always assume that they loved me enough that they'd look at me whenever I did that. Irritated, my mother told me to stop touc... | 2017-06-27T19:52:50 | 2017-06-27T18:17:24 | 3,313 | 152 |
[WP] You and a friend that you secretly love make a pact that in 10 years if neither are with someone you two will marry eachother. You spend the next ten years ruining their relationships at any cost. | "I've never had much luck in dating, as I'm sure all of you know."
John nodded somberly, thinking of all his past actions. Did he regret it? Was it all worth it?
"And yet, as I stand here, I realise that there's been one man in my life who has been with me all along. Helped me through the heartbreak, through the high... | My best friend did a lot of great things for me. I'll admit that first and foremost. He was one of the people who saw me for who he thought I really was. To him, I wasn't just a pity vote, like I was to everyone else. He's been good to me, but man, is he easy to put down. Of course, the team captain that he is got all ... | 2017-09-17T17:45:00 | 2017-09-17T15:49:31 | 106 | 35 |
[WP] Write a letter to someone you miss
It's been a rough week. Everyone has someone they wish were still with them. Write to them and tell them how you feel. Pour your heart out. No judging. Even if they never see it, someone will. And thank you. It's tough to be alone. | Hey Moose,
We had a good run. 16 years is good for a dog that somebody else starved in their back yard for a while.
You did really good. You remembered all those tricks somebody else taught you, showed the cats/birds love, and learned to stop being scared over food. You gave the best hugs on the planet.
I'm sorry th... | I can't believe it's been almost a year. As long as the days are, the months are short.
It's remarkable how much my memory of you has changed tone in the past year. There was a time, not too long ago, when I would have burned my world down if I knew you'd be caught in the blaze. And yet now, all I feel is a bitterswee... | 2017-11-06T00:29:00 | 2017-11-05T22:26:46 | 235 | 11 |

[WP]"This is how it works," Death explained. "You pick the game and we play. Cheating is allowed, but if either one of us is caught by the other, they lose. If you win, you'll wake up back in the hospital and I'll give you another 10 years. If you lose then it's time for judgement. Understood? | Death watches as the boy in front of him starts getting excited, blithering on about some competition he had won and gotten an "awesome tool of awesome." The man starts rummaging around his untidy room looking for something.
Out of the closet comes several odd items. Board games, video games, a glass tube with burn ma... | I pant as I sprint across a smokey field of nothing, ball in hand, as a dark cloud chases after me.

[WP]: Intergalactic olympics are gathering. All creeds and cultures of the galaxy are arriving and greeting each other. Suddenly a fleet of spaceships appears, blasting We Will Rock You. Everyone freezes. The humans are here. | We will we will rock you!
"What is this? Is it a Human war cry?" asked Glibyerb, wearing a concerned face. "No, I believe they call it music" answered Naroh, defeated. "Since the Humans learned of the Galactic Games, they have made it an almost insane drive to remind us of there superior might."

[WP] The longer you charge an attack, the more powerful it becomes. SWAT charges a punch for 30 seconds to break down a door. You’ve been charging for the last three days. | It was a stupid dare. I could see that now. They say hindsight is 20/20, it's just a shame that foresight is legally blind. So Jimmy Bubkins had gotten the best of me again. It stung, I'm big enough to admit that. Of course, the realization of my own folly didn't do a whole lot to resolve the problem of my present circ... | At first it started out as just a joke, but eventually it became an obsession.

[WP] You don't remember what you do for a living. Literally. You wake up, get in the car, then black out until you're back in your driveway in the middle of the afternoon 5 days a week, and you get a paycheck once a month. | It's a good job. I think. I don't know. If I chose it, it's probably good.
Every morning I take the motions through my morning routine, get up, shower, get dressed, brush my teeth, pack my lunch, and leave.
And every evening I take the motions through my nightly routine. Unpack my lunch, make dinner, eat dinner, do t... | It's possible that I don't remember what I do because I don't really do anything.
