[WP] "Kid, if you're gonna skip school to hang around the magic shop, you might as well learn some real magic." | *Magical Aids & Accoutrements - The Greatest Magical Hobby Shop in the Country*. Kate wasn't about to argue - firstly because it would be useless to argue with a shopfront sign. But secondly, because she simply couldn't imagine how any other store could claim to be better.
The first time she had wandered into the... | "I have no idea where all these sacrificial goats came from." As I spoke, I knew the Head of The Institute could see right through my lie. After weeks of careful training, I had transported sixty-four demonic goats right into the lobby of The Institute for Peculiarity.

[WP] You're an amputee at the elbow. Your doctor tells you that you might experience Phantom Limb every now and then. But you are not prepared for the moment when a hand tightly holds your missing limb. | Roger was a lot of things, he was an office worker, he was clumsy, he was too picky about his bedsheets and he was an amputee.
People avoided Roger's eyes in stores, which was something he'd never understood. Sure, he caught on that nobody wanted to deal with the awkward of looking at a prosthetic, but his eyes weren'... | I would recognise that hand anywhere, the shape of the callouses, the slender fingers, the tight grip. This was a hand formed by hard labour in the garden every weekend, until I came out with a drink, or she came in with a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers that you ever saw.

[WP] The United States has suddenly gone dark. No noise or activity out of there for a week, not even a Reddit post. You are part of an SAS squad sent to investigate. | "What the bloody hell you mean the whole country's dark?"
Jackson stopped strapping on his gear and looked towards the cockpit of the transport copter. Apparently Hurst got some news regarding why their squad was just dispatched at 5 AM to Washington DC for a search and rescue mission. Jackson wasn't one to question ... | Within the clouds there was no noise, only the constant whir of the chopper blades pulsing above the men and I. I shifted my legs so that they crossed each other and looked out the sliding door. Water hissed as the blades passed through the damp air. It was eerie. Usually, my men where being the assholes they were and... | 2017-03-07T12:32:32 | 2017-03-07T11:17:45 | 678 | 33 |
[WP] The entire court stared at you. The judge said, "But the bullet was fired from the gun. Why would we sentence the man who was holding the gun?" It was a risky strategy, but you replied, "What if we started imprisoning the person who USED the weapon... instead of imprisoning the weapon?" | The Judge stared at me, mouth agape.
“Mister Smith, you’re trying to convince The Court that, in the two-hundred-fifty-plus years since our country’s founding, and the laws and legal precedents set therein…that you want to upend this in favor of sentencing the person holding the weapon…*and not the weapon itself!?*” ... | I look at the judge, I had done these experiments for years. The gun never commits a crime unless someone was holding it, this same person was way more likely to make the guns commit crimes, henceforth it was logical to conclude that the person was responsible, not the weapon. The judge looked at my tests, the other ju... | 2021-07-02T00:09:16 | 2021-07-01T23:57:52 | 56 | 17 |
[WP] You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches. | When our worlds collided, we were unprepared for magic. All of our technology was useless against the elves and their sorcerers or the dwarves and their powerful enchantments or the orcs and their shamans.
You would think that bullets, tanks, and fighter jets would carry the day easy but no. Not even nukes did squat... | I get to choose how I die? I thought to myself. Well that's easy enough, I'll just wish to die of old age on a bountiful island with my 18 smoking hot wives. What a blessing! If I knew about this I'd have turned myself in years ago!

[WP] When humanity went extinct another life-form rose to dominance on Earth. But it was not one anyone would have expected. Instead of chimpanzees, dolphins, dogs or even birds Earth is now dominated by sentient trees. | My starship hovered somewhere between the moon and the planet formerly known as Earth. We, the Caretakers, were unsure what the new sentient species had named it. After the humans had driven themselves extinct, ignoring warning after warning, a new and different species had risen. We had expected perhaps dolphins, or d... | [Poem]
It wasn't hard to to climb the chain.
The key to survival is patience.

[WP] You are the only NPC who is able to acknowledge exactly how dangerous the player character is. | Bravon walked in to the town hall meeting and took to the stage. It was Bravon who had called the meeting, hanging up flyers on every notice board he could find in town. His hard work had not gone unnoticed, the crowd that had gathered in the town hall was substantial. Everyone from Brutus the Blacksmith to Jondis the ... | It's always sunny in this village. That's what god wants.
If god could choose the most basic bitch of a town in this land, it would be Barrat. A small village founded by a guild of former council members.

[WP] You live in a world where everyone's soul takes the form of an animal companion to match them. You've finally come of age... and no animal has appeared. | I used to stare at the adults and the older kids. Well, not so much at them, as the animals that lived beside them. I didn't care what kind of animal they were, they were all cool. The professor with an owl forged of smoke perched on his shoulder, the weight-lifter being spotted by his quicksilver gorilla, the libraria... | My mother's face fell. My twin sister's soul had appeared earlier that day in the form of a precious lamb. So typical, she'd always been the bleeding heart of the family, completely incapable of harming another being no matter how small. She was the favorite.

[WP] A field surgeon in a fantasy world has performed life saving surgery on many an orc war band before, unwittingly becoming blood brothers with most of his patients. In his darkest days, his extended family comes to offer their hands. | They found the human puking in an alley.
Thorveig stood and watched him from across the way. The vomiting drunk hadn’t seen them yet, and probably wouldn’t any time soon. The buildings cast long shadows this far from the torchlight, and the full moon overhead added little. The drunk continued to wretch to the point o... | The orcs live long and are hard to kill. Not that many generations ago the old prejudices might've held true - the orcs had numbers and strength and endurance but they weren't smart or fast. They were fearless and quick to anger and to throw themselves into combat. .

[WP]You are born immortal, but only your mind survives. Each time you die, your memories are secured in a random baby being born and have to repeat the life from youth to old age. After living for a millennia, you decide there is one solution: End all life and with it your unfortunate plight. | *Today is the day.*
I checked the data for the fourteenth time this hour. The bombs were still in place. It's not easy, hiding hundreds of bombs beneath the Earth's crust so that they could all detonate and destroy the planet. It took a lot of time and a lot of money. Luckily, I had both to spare.
I'd been alive for,... | I have ended life. But why are my thoughts still mine? Why am I aware of my death?
I wait, in the darkness, I wander. I do not know how much time has passed, but I feel I have been waiting for millenia.
Suddenly, a flash of blinding light hits my eyes.

[WP] You work for a non-profit organization that, since FTL travel has been invented, specialises in upgrading old colony ships that are still in transit to their destination. One day your scanners pick up an unnatual object, sure to be a ship...but it's going a lot slower than most colony ships... | "It's so... small," Mary said, double-checking the readings on her screen.
"And slow," Ignatius added. "Slower than anything that's been made in the last millennium. There's a good chance that, if people were in there at one point, they're now dead. All part of the job, I guess."
A devilish smirk took over Mary's f... | I live on a little planet. In a little village. In a little house, with my little family. But I have big dreams! One day, I will travel across big universe with little puppy, Fern.

[WP] "Tell my family... I loved them." Whimpered the Dragon with its last breath as you slayed it. You didn't expect it to talk, and now you feel a sense of guilt. You take it up as a new quest and journey to do so as a knight, you seek its family and bring the saddening, yet somewhat awkward news. | Gunvald stood over the white beast, its hot, red blood covering the blade on his battle axe and the cuffs on his coat. It was no easy task, especially not on his own. The dragon, nearly triple his size, had hunted this region for nigh on a thousand years. Perhaps, in the end, its age had caused its end, and Gunvald's a... | The dragon towered over me, blood seeping from a thousand wounds. I had broken him. A punch had staved in all scales along the right side of his chest, wind roared through a gash in his neck when breathed. And still, he pressed on. I had killed a dozen dragons before— there was no sport in the world like them— but this... | 2021-12-06T08:11:23 | 2021-12-06T08:02:05 | 127 | 74 |
[WP] In the Land of Perfection, there is no imperfection. Which is why George was confused at the single, absurdly tiny crack in the sidewalk. | "You seem troubled, young man."
Following the old, withered voice, I turned my head and found myself face-to-face with an old, withered man. He had the most serene smile plastered on his face, as to be expected. Where we live, a frown should never be displayed. His eyes were closed, yet he exudes a sense of knowingnes... | Today was a perfect day as any another day. Perfection, what does it mean? Does it mean a scenario where everything goes according to you? Then yes, I have a perfect life. Does it mean a life without any blemishes? Then yes, I have a perfect life. Or does it mean a life that has been made with so much precision that yo... | 2021-12-21T10:21:02 | 2021-12-21T09:22:07 | 73 | 21 |
[WP] You accept a job paying $1 million a year to sit in a room, waiting for a phone to ring on a table. After 5 years at work, it finally rings... For the first time.
What happens next? | I could bring a book. I had to check my phone in every morning. The security guard patted me down for that very reason. I was allowed a single book. I usually brought something long enough to last. I had, in the early days, finished my book by lunch and then had to just wait out the rest of the day. That was bor... | Damn, it's hot in here. How'd I even get myself in this situation?
I guess most of the days in which I found myself sitting in that white plastic chair were much the same. A bit of thumb-twiddling and whistling favorite tunes helped out a bit, but lord was that job *slow*.

[WP] Wandering the streets, jobless, homeless, you happen across a silver ring with an inscription: "Help for the Needy." Idly you slip it on. Suddenly a voice resonates deep within your bones: "44 YARDS NORTH A CHILD LIES FACE DOWN IN THEIR POOL, UNATTENDED. DEATH IN 172 SECONDS. TIME TO RUN." | The trash didn't smell as bad as most people thought, at least not outside of a clothing store. I was hoping to find a left shoe \- as the duct tape holding the sole onto my current one was giving way again and I didn't have more.
As a former writer, I figured there was a good metaphor in there for how tattered my ow... | *TIME TO RUN.*
I didn't think, I just ran. Vaulting the fence, I saw the child in the water; without stopping a moment, I dived in and dragged the child to the side of the pool, then onto dry ground. First aid? I couldn't remember. I shouted, and a woman crashed through the back door. "He's not breathing, I..."

[WP] You loved being a vampire during the 80s and 90s, but in 2070, with all the improvements in biotech and genetic engineering, you find yourself trapped in a body that, compared to everyone around you, is short, weak, frail, ugly, horribly light sensitive, and dependent on a very awkward diet. | "Fuck" - Tenn O'gul yelled out in disgust while spitting the beer out. That was his 26th victim of the night, and he had yet to taste a single drop of blood in his mouth. Tenn O'gul used to be a Count back when before people knew what a gun was. But nowadays, he's just an old, short, and ugly vampire.
It had been hard... | The two warriors stood in front of each other, fist raised, checking any opening in their opponent, anything that could give them a lead in battle.

[WP] To extend your life, you've played Death in many games and beaten him. However, after your last game, you begin to see that Death has been losing to you on purpose. | Mrs Haller had planned endlessly for such a day. There was a lake on the fringes of the city which had taken her fancy, for the waters ran deep, and anglers seldom came by. She would close her bank accounts, end her cable service, mail the title deeds to her favourite charity. Then, she would get into her Beetle, drive... | I set down my rook.
“Checkmate.”
“DAMN. I THOUGHT I HAD YOU. EXCELLENT PLAY, MICHELLE.”
“Thank you. Tomorrow, then, Death?”

[WP] The Apocalypse has arrived. Jesus has come back, and he's on a brutal "rapture" spree, slaughtering people everywhere. The bright star of Satan descends and he appears at a UN press conference. He says, "before I fix this mess for you guys again, it's time you heard my side of the story..." | Nothing about the situation was *right*. Nevermind that the events of recent months, with the second coming of Christ as an international machine of carnage, had lead to an international electorate in utter confusion and chaos, it had also devastated the institutions we relied upon to sort these things out. *These thin... | His hooves burn cloven etchings into the wood floor as he approaches the podium. Skin bright red with crimson leathery wings politely tucked behind his should blades. His eyes bulge as he scans the room. Steaming drool drips from his fanged lips.

[WP] A man who hears voices in his head, but they don't degrade his life. He can live with it and sometimes they even help. | *FOLD*
“No” Dan whispered as quietly as he could with his cards covering his mouth.
*Dan. Fold now.*
Dan shook his head and the man next to him gave him a weird look. Dan sat back in the creaking lawn chair and was looking at a pair of three of spades in his hand, ready to claim the $42 pot of crumpled ones and five... | *"Jump."*
"What?"
*"Just jump. You'll make it."*
"There's no way I'm making that jump" He thought to himself and the others.
*"The jump, or the bad guys. You choose."* Sara's nonchalant tone said it all. There was actually no choice.

[WP] Napoleon and Hitler were born 129 years apart, came into power 129 years apart, and invaded Russia 129 years apart. It is now 2070. You've been reincarnated and rose to power for the third time. Russia is looking very tempting.
Edit: Holy cow. There are some seriously awesome stories here. Thank you so much :) | The young Caliph sat in his tower, surveying his kingdom stretching well beyond the horizon in every direction. It had been considered impossible, what he had done to bring the entire Islamic nation together. Powerful men had tried to unify the chosen for thousands of years, only to be corrupted by their own unworthine... | "Mr. President?"

[WP] Humans are born with a mark around their wrist which has a matching color with that of their soulmate's, but can change through their life. Your mark has had a blue hue since you were 14, but one night, while you're out, people start looking at you funny. You realize that your mark is gone. | Gone again.
A herd of concerned passerby huddle around me, like buzzards around a corpse.
"Oh, you poor dear..."
"And so young, too. To have lost someone already..."
"You never even knew her, did you..."
I try to brush them off and continue on my way. It's been happening on and off for the past few months. First it ... | Hair fresh, shirt ironed, jeans fitted, and shoes that could be in a model catalogue.

[WP] In a world where what doesn't kill you literally makes you stronger, you run a clinic that gives people near-death experiences. | "Get on your knees. NOW!"
Steve complied with the masked man's order, his knees impacting the ground with a force that shuddered up his spine. The afternoon rain soaked into his jeans, staining them with years of grime this alley had accrued from neglect. He was afraid, but aware, in these his last moments. Struggl... | “I know I forgot something, just what was it again?” Andrew said in the car.
“You didn’t forget anything hun, and if you did I would’ve remembered,” his wife replied.

[WP] a love story that ends with the words "and I hate her" | I rested my back against a tree, bathing in the moon's light. We used to sit there together and think. Sometimes we'd talk and laugh, or I'd write while she drew in silence. We had lived next door our whole lives -- or at least so far as I can remember. In fact, I couldn't remember a Saturday evening when I wasn't sitt... | One more day.
One more day was all it would've taken. I think she knew it, too. All I needed was one more day, and I could have made her dreams real.
I had made the reservations. The time; six o'clock. The *maître d'* knew my plan, from the moment I walked into the door, all the way up to the moment when we walked ... | 2014-11-24T05:19:30 | 2014-11-24T03:54:14 | 71 | 38 |
[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.

I suppose I'm not surprised that I'd manage to be tired even after a cryogenic sleep."
I rubbed my eyes, trying and failing to feel a little more refreshed. I looked around the room, noting the differences in the chamber, which didn't even look like the same chamber, now that i looked closer. Good replica though... | I dreamed; I didn't think I'd dream. It wasn't a restful sleep - more like a lucid nightmare. Sounds exploded around me - sometimes they were bombs, sometimes earthquakes, gunshots, bodies hitting the ground behind me.

[WP] You live in a world where love and relationships have a "credit score". If you're a good SO it makes it higher, if you cheated on someone it's plummets. You just went on a date with someone and you're convinced they're perfect. You look up their score that night and it's -500 and tells you why.

[WP] " There's a few things you'll need to know to work here. The mannequins move but don't be surprised or they get mad.

Since then, I come into his shop six days a week to prepare for the day's customers and place new stock on the shelves.

[WP] You realize you are immortal or more specifically that you cannot die. The issue is that you only realize this once the man who is attempting to torture you to death can't finish the job.
[removed] | Well, I had a good run.
The best thief in the history of Skazer. The amount of nobles I'd robbed was, frankly, ridiculous. Even I had lost count. Hell, I probably could have retired after the first three or four jobs, buy myself an island in another country and live like a noble.

[WP] For many years, humans have been sent to try to turn off a self-replicating super computer that is getting out of hand.

She thanks him and no one seems to care he is robing the bank. Walks outside, no cops, no sirens. | The sack was heavy in his hand. Who would have thought money weighed so much?

[WP] You are a villain famous for “killing” heroes. In reality, heroes come to you to fake their deaths. | "Hero Killer?" said Sparrow Man, opening the door to my office with his wing.

[WP] You found this stray "dog" that followed you home, it's very obviously a demon in disguise, but you'll pretend you don't know, just to see how long they keep up the act. | Like many other human beings, I can be enthralled by certain animals.

[WP] They're zombies, of a sort. They get up after we kill them. But they can talk and walk and eat. They're just... too normal. They speak politely, dress modestly, go to bed early, never drink or smoke. But their eyes and smiles are empty. Just don't shake their hand... | I shut the bathroom door and lowered myself to the ground. Holding my head in my hands, I tried not to panic. Maybe Jack hadn’t seen me. I had gone this long, and none of them had seen me.
A banging came from the first floor. Someone was at the door.
Oh god, please. I just needed a few more days. The ham radio had fi... | **August 20th**
I have always wanted to shake their hand. My uncle Ray missed the bulging forehead veins on a customer once and shook their hand by mistake. You have to watch for the forehead veins--it's the only way to tell the zoms apart, aside from their polite insistence at every opportunity to shake hands, but an... | 2020-08-25T15:29:18 | 2020-08-25T15:11:08 | 61 | 14 |
[WP] Once you die, you find out that everyone gets to heaven. The only one suffering in hell, for all our sins, is Jesus. But the living keep sinning higher with every passing day. | The bible got it wrong.
Jesus was the most compassionate soul that ever lived or died. He loved us, all of humanity, as a father or a mother might love their children. So much love in one man... it should've destroyed him.
And I guess it did.
I died today. Walked right into Heaven too, which surprised me. I didn't e... | " Are you fucking insane?" Judas Iscariot exclaimed as I outlined my plan to him.
"Are you upset I haven't done a PowerPoint?"
"It's not about PowerPoint you can't just stroll into hell "
" No we are going to fly "
"How?"
"It is need to know not go to tell you more until you sign up for it"
"Why do you nee... | 2021-04-07T17:03:00 | 2021-04-07T12:07:59 | 29 | 12 |
[WP] Your girlfriend has always hated you, and is constantly making attempts to ruin your life. However, everything she does inadvertently makes your life better. Today, ever oblivious, you propose to her. | She was a freshman in college, looking for some fun. When Brielle met him, that dorky older guy from her class, she thought he'd be good for a few laughs. But then he asked her out, and she said she'd have to think about it. She had a mean streak about her, but was she that mean? She asked her sister for advice, and af... | Three weeks into our relationship, I woke up and my stash was gone.
"I flushed your SHIT down the fucking toilet, Troy!" Cynthia screams, manically pacing around the hall. "I don't want to date an addict. It's disgusting. I deserve better than that! You need to get your shit together." To her surprise, I agreed.
She... | 2016-09-15T16:49:50 | 2016-09-15T16:19:12 | 19 | 11 |
[WP]: A 92-year-old woman's phone number is one digit away from that of a local suicide hotline. She could have it changed, but she doesn't mind. | "Um...hi, I've never done this before but I'm looking for some help. I'm having a really rough time right now and I'm afraid I'm going to hurt myself, or worse."
"Oh, sweetie- I'm so sorry you're struggling like this," a raspy, weak voice replied. She must have been at least 80 years old by the sound of it, but the we... | "Is this the suicide line? My name is Steven, and I need someone."
Marie smiled in her heart. Another soul sent her way. In 92 years, there wasn't very much she hadn't seen, and by herself, she'd saved 18 lives over the last 15 years, since the Line came into being.
"Steven, my name is Marie. What can I help you with... | 2016-02-06T14:35:25 | 2016-02-06T13:08:00 | 325 | 178 |
[WP] You're happily going about your day when you vanish in a cloud of smoke. Suddenly, you're standing in a ring of candles. A sorcerer holding a tome looks pleased at your arrival. Turns out Earth is Hell, we're the demons, and you've just been summoned. | He stood there, holding an odd looking book, a smug look on his face, almost as if he expected something from me. I'm sure my confusion showed on my face, but he started babbling at me in some vaguely Latinesque sounding mish-mash.
I shrugged my indifference, and said, "Sorry man, I don't speak whatever language yo... | It felt like I had tripped up some stairs. For a second I thought I had, and immediately froze. The plate in my hand still held the Reuben, but the surface beneath.....
My head snapped up, and I noticed the darkness first. Second were the candles, placed carefully around me in hexagons expanding away from me. Low-leve... | 2017-05-12T10:51:05 | 2017-05-12T08:05:41 | 15 | 10 |
[WP] On everyone's 18th birthday at noon, one word appears in their skin, depicting their career or purpose in life. On your birthday you're staring at a clock showing 11:59am, family and friends gathered around for your reveal.
Path 1: Noon strikes, and you stare at your forearm intently. 12:01, still nothing appears... | It was late. Like my period, which started four years after the last girl of my class had her first. I didn't mind the same way I didn't mind four years of guaranteed dry underwear and both times because I was busy exploring the neighborhood.
"Who arrives late to their own birthday party?" said my boss as I stepped int... | Tick tock
I had hoped, at one time, that my number would be big. After all who would want to be one of those poor kids, they who turn 18 and find their actual age written between beneath their thumb. Can you imagine the parents as they count down the days, not knowing when it will come, just that it will hang over the... | 2017-03-16T02:44:59 | 2017-03-16T00:57:55 | 109 | 63 |
[WP] Everytime you think of a funny joke, this girl in your class always laughs, you chalk it up to coincidence but you think to yourself, "If you can read my mind, slap the table three times" the the girl looks over at you, stares right into your eyes, and slowly slaps the table two times. | "Yes, Sarah? You have something to ask?", Mr. Hudley raised his brow hearing the thudding of Sarah's slaps.
"Oh no, Mr. Hudley. I'm alright", Sarah replied quickly turning her attention back to the front of the class, smirking as Hugh stared from his seat right behind hers.
*"So you do read my mind!"*, Hugh thought. ... | You have become conscious of your actions but you can't stop thinking about the connection. She is smilling and enjoying going over your expressions and thoughts. You are contemplating how is it possible. She is giggling over your thought process. You haven't been near to her anytime before. You have never talked to he... | 2021-09-07T01:48:04 | 2021-09-06T23:08:48 | 105 | 27 |
[WP] Traditionally, vampires could not see their reflection because mirrors were silver-backed. With the invention of aluminum-backed mirrors, a vampire sees their reflection for the first time only to find out they are the ugliest thing they have ever seen. | It was a trick, it had to be. I stared into the mirror, at the grotesque wiry figure in front of me as I pulled my face into the various ugly expressions. The thing in the mirror copied every move that I made.
I shook my head. “This isn’t right.”
Vampires were dark, tall, strong, and *sexy*. They seduced their prey t... | The trap had been triggered. The glass panels all fell in to place around the pair, surrounding them with no gaps. The young vampire hunter grinned as he heard each mirror hit the floor.
The grotesque humanoid, previously noticing the mirrors chained to the ceiling, reeled to the floor in laughter. "How do you expect... | 2017-07-29T11:52:13 | 2017-07-29T10:09:50 | 3,769 | 246 |
[WP] You were born blind. You undergo a new surgery that should cure your blindness. They undo the wraps and you open them. You think what you see is normal, but after the doctors ask a slew of questions, they discover there is something very strange about your newly acquired sight. | The world exploded into brightness, with pure chaos defining the addition of my new sense. I could see... for the first time in my life, I could see. The surgery was a success, and brought with it a confusing pain, one which I could not describe. Is this what sighted people called “blinding?” It was ironic to me, in th... | "... and so thats why. Really, its pretty simple when you think about it."
The doctors stared in horror at me. Hah, they *stared*. What a beautiful day for science and medicine! That table is blue! Thanks to the chip in my head that they installed, I even know what blue *is*!
The fat doctor began smoothing his coat, ... | 2018-10-29T10:15:07 | 2018-10-29T09:02:37 | 100 | 35 |
[WP] Everyone has a bar above himself, that measures something specific (e.g. happiness, years to live, hornyness, wealth, etc.), but nobody knows what exactly. One day, your bar begins growing red quickly (i.e. declining), and you're desperate to find out what it means.
To clarify, nobody, including you, knows what y... | One day, we all woke up with a bar above our heads. Most were green when we first saw them, but some saw them as red and completely empty. No one knew what they meant, not the wise men, the scientists, or the preachers. For the first few weeks, the news stations broadcasted nothing but 'information' about the bars, tel... | "Hey, ummm, Jim?"
"Yeah?"
"You're bar, it's, it's shrinking pretty fast."
"Shit, shit shit shit!" I was pacing back and forth at this point. My bar had always been full, constantly, at the moment it was at about a quarter away from nothing and fluctuating.
"Did you ever figure out what it meant?"
"No! It hasn't ch... | 2015-01-04T20:37:01 | 2015-01-04T17:46:42 | 29 | 13 |
[WP] After first contact, mankind and another civilization agree on a exchange program where you went to their planet spend a year there. When they bring you back, there is nothing where earth used to be. | The cool, pleasant voice of the shuttle’s automated pilot system caused me to wake up with a start. As I sat up in the cramped bunk, all I could remember of the dream I’d been having was glimpses of family and friends, and of course, Earth. “Arrival in five minutes. This shuttle will disengage it’s FTL Drive in four mi... | The Glorkans were as surprised as me as their ship slowly eased pass Moon. Expecting to see the familiar sight of blue and green, there was nothing there, except for the constant blinking of faraway stars, across the black canvas of space. A few moments of silence pass before the captain spoke.
"Sergeant Mo, are you s... | 2017-04-11T10:00:10 | 2017-04-11T09:27:58 | 460 | 72 |
