[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	[deleted]	1	36	1,000
[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	I couldn't leave her. Once that decision was made, everything else fell into place. Other survivors gave me a wide birth, looked at the struggling, hissing mass I carried on my chest in a baby carrier, and their emotions, naked and ugly, marched across their faces. Distrust. Horror. Pity. What was I supposed to do? Pr...	2	36	1,001
[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	It wasn’t easy. I’m not proud. I never stopped moving. When they gave the evac order my neighbors and I left together. We decided to stick together. Safety in numbers. One big caravan. Then the roads went to hell. ‘Safety’ went out the window when old Mr. Jefferson had to stop every mile to rest. So I shot him. Quick....	2	36	1,002
[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	I lower myself into the tub with a slow grace. It stung. It smelled like a vodka. A high came over me as my pores began ringing with a gentle burn. It's been worth it, running around the desolate homes of the already dead or vanished, taking what bottles or dispensers I could find. In the eyes of most, it's a nice co...	1	36	1,003
[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	I always knew that living in the heart of Brooklyn put me in a statistically horrible location if there was an outbreak; my wildest dreams would not have identified me as a survivor. I cannot believe two weeks have passed since the modern world has vanished. It really is a stroke of luck that I was not infected by on...	2	36	1,004

[FF] How I Survived The Zombie Outbreak	Well, of course I would do it again. I'm here, aren't I? I'm not shambling around with my guts oozing out of my stomach, and that's sure as hell worth anything. I mean, if they had just listened to me in the first place, they'd be here too. It's not my fault. I just...tipped the scales in my favor a bit. Could we h...	1	36	1,006

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	The Thoughts of a Party Goer: Is this heaven or is this hell? I am trapped, yet I do not wish to leave. I see a door, but I do not attempt to even test the handle. Can the life outside of this prison be better anyway? Is this even a prison at all..? A twirling dress flashes past my eyes as I feel fresh glass of cool...	13	21	1,008
You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	Standing over the courtyard on the veranda: I see the high and low below me, drinking and eating until their bellies are full and their minds are clouded, laughing and crying and everything in between. A class of water in my hand (it's the only thing I can force myself to drink) grounds me to this atmosphere. It's m...	6	21	1,009

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair. Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air. Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light. My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night. There she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bell. And I was thinking to myself, "This could ...	8	21	1,011
You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	As I walk through the vast dinning room I flash my guests a bland, white smile whenever they meet my eyes.

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	Sunny day late August. Gentle sea breeze weaving between the buildings on the west side of Seattle.

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	"Honestly Charlotte, get Mr. Thompson some more tea. It's rude to be disobedient my dear," Henry was ordering her again. He enjoyed it more than anything, the power that came from being this little party's master.

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	Three years ago, a friend from high school told me that he was building the perfect party pad.

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	Everyone was just chatting, eating and drinking. Having an all around good time. No one even thought to go to the door when it was getting late. It wouldn't have helped anyways. I however, realized that I needed to leave. That was when I found out that I couldn't. I was scared. The door handle wouldn't budge. I cranked...	1	21	1,016

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	Her hand slid into mine, her soft and supple fingers possessing my own.

You are throwing the most spectacular party in history, but it is impossible for anyone to leave	It feels as if the sides of the plane may split open as they reverberate with the sound of the bass. The floor shakes and night sky prevents any view out of the windows. Below the shimmering water draws closer and closer, but no one aboard knows. The plane was a half-empty overnight crossing the Atlantic from one unim...	1	21	1,020

[WP] You are stuck in a box	The mime stared at the darkness around him in awe. He explored the area around him with a gloved hand, only to confirm his worst fears as his fingers brushed against a cold wall. Yep, the old mime-in-an-imaginary-box trick was now the mime-in-a-limited-oxygen-steel-box gag. He shook his head. *Steel boxes don't just ...	4	8	1,022
[WP] You are stuck in a box	Is this what you call a family? At the back of a picket-fenced, large, detached suburban house is his study. The badly-trimmed wallpaper is peeling, the chipboard desk is littered with empty cans and six pack holders, and a picture of he and I hugging sits among the mess somewhere. It's the only picture in the whole h...	2	8	1,023
[WP] You are stuck in a box	How many days have I been here? It’s so dark and cold. Hello? I called out to no one, but I could hear them. Faint voices like the whisper of the wind through an invisible crack in the wall but I can hear them. I stand up and stretch my back, hearing the familiar crack. There is no echo, just darkness everywhere....	2	8	1,024
[WP] You are stuck in a box	It's dark and I can hear water dripping. I think I'm in a box. Don't have any room to uncurl my legs. God it hurts. Drip. Drip. I shift around, trying to find a more comfortable position. Impossible. Drip. Drip. What's this box made of, anyway? Feels like steel. Tastes like steel too. It's cold against my face - the am...	1	8	1,025
[WP] You are stuck in a box	I could tell my eyes were open; each time I blinked the refreshing moisture of tears cooled my searing lenses. Yet, there was nothing to be seen but an abysmal void. I strained all my senses. I could only hear the Thump..... Thump..... Thump..... of my beating heart. The increasing heat coaxed little beads of sweat...	1	8	1,026
[WP] You are stuck in a box	My prison isn’t one of cold steel bars or hard brick walls, that would be too easy. You see I’m bound to another person in a way which sees me barely able to leave my bed in the morning for fear of what the day might bring if they’re not one quick text or call away from me. We met just over four years ago, her long re...	2	8	1,027
[WP] You are stuck in a box	Every time I stick my fingers through the steel bars, a stick smacks my fingers. I don't remember how long we've been traveling, as I sleep most of the time. There's not much to do when you're trapped in a steel box, separated from the other slaves in little compartments. I can't move around much, and they do not dare ...	1	8	1,028

[WP] You are stuck in a box	It was cold. That was all he could tell as his brain slowly rose to consciousness. It was cold and it was dark and he must have been laying on the floor as his back was beginning to sore from the hardness. Sheer habit brought his hand up to wipe the sleep from his eyes, but his hand didn't make it there. Instead it sto...	1	8	1,030
[WP] You are stuck in a box	I woke up with a gasp, my breath and sweat condensing on my face. It was cold. I shivered and felt the goosebumps on my skin as I realized that I was naked, completely enveloped by darkness. Or perhaps I was blind. I rubbed my arms as I squatted on my numb bare feet. I tried to adjust my stance, only to have my bare ...	1	8	1,031
[WP] You are stuck in a box	Men who are taken should have one of those disclaimers “Do not touch” because we obviously can’t read, we’re toddlers, Rule broken, Box played in and the do not touch sign is just another toy.

[WP] The pain of second place	The kiss was a big one. Casey put a lot behind it, whatever it was that she needed. Love, a start to sex, maybe even just to feel someone's lips on hers. But it was a kiss. No denying that. The kind that could break a stranger's heart that they weren't the one being kissed like that. It took John a moment to realize wh...	5	11	1,034
[WP] The pain of second place	When my final came, all I could think was that the bright light of the Chicago Stadium reminded me of home. In Senegal in the afternoons, the sun would bake the dirt so hot it would hurt your feet, and when we wanted to play handball we would burn. We convinced our mothers that it was better to eat dinner at five in ...	2	11	1,035
[WP] The pain of second place	Haha stumbled onto one of my college essays today and then remembered r/wp had a second place topic THE INAUGURATION President. What a title.

[WP] The pain of second place	You spin the trident in one hand and the net in the other, watching as the other eleven fiddle with their weapons in nervous anticipation.

[WP] The pain of second place	There we were. There were about ten of us, sweating, our hearts beating rapidly. We were lined up, pressed against the wall. And we waited. None of the others mattered, though. There was only myself. Me against myself. I had to do my best. I had to beat my best. I had to be better than my best. That's what I wa...	2	11	1,040

How long has it been since I’ve seen another face? 5 years? No, there was that guy in Denver… Paul? Peter? He had a nametag on his uniform. I only missed him by a week maybe less.

Nobody knew the reason why, and by the time to bodies had been processed and brought in for autopsy, there was no one left to examine them. Somehow, I had survived.

I meant your badge, silly." Feeling stupid, I turn to her. She meekly plays with her hands, wobbling unbalanced on her wheels. "Well then?" "Well, what?" I ask, my voice rising. Eve...	2	10	1,083
[WP] A soldier and a young girl (picture from /r/Pics)	“Hi, Mr. Berto.” Corporal Alberto Rivera didn’t turn his head. He knew who the voice belonged to. “Hello, Jeanie.” “What are you doing?” The sound of her skates rolling across the pavement told Alberto that she was moving closer. She was always in those damn skates. They were her prized possession, she had told ...	3	10	1,084
[WP] A soldier and a young girl (picture from /r/Pics)	"Mister..." Her mumble caught his ear. Frank darted his eyes to the left, seeing a sight incongruous with all else around him. He shuddered. Her hair flowed in a wind that wasn't actually, there, on this battlefield. It is a cool breeze, because he can feel it too. He shakes his head, but, just like a million other tim...	1	10	1,085

[WP] A soldier and a young girl (picture from /r/Pics)	The brief flash of my scope reflecting the sun has drawn his gaze, and that of the soldiers further back. I saw him talk monosyllabically with the girl, and sometimes I wish I weren't a lip-reader. "What's your name mister?" she asked, having suddenly stopped her playing to engage him. "John", he said, and she told him...	2	10	1,087
[WP] You've accidentally killed a transvestite prostitute.	The hotel door was open slightly. Mickey peeks his head inside. "Hello?" "Um, hey Mickey" I say. "how's it going, mate?" "Hows it going? The fuck ya mean 'how's it going?' Ya got me out of bed to come over here. I'm about to kick your arse, that's how it's going!" "I'm sorry, mate. I'm in a bit of a bind and I thou...	10	5	1,088
[WP] The contract for my soul	Hmmm...a new itunes update. Yes, just install now for god's sake. Next, next, next, yes yes I agree.....wa-wa-wait a minute! What the bloody the hell is this!? MY SOUL BELONGS TO THE DEVIL NOW?! sonofabitch	11	22	1,089
[WP] The contract for my soul	His tears fell down like the rain. Cold, clammy, yet reassuring and soothingly warm. This emotion of pure sadness... why did it make him feel happier? Perhaps, he thought, when you are at the very edge, falling into the unknown, away from the beautiful world... when you have no happiness at all, perhaps even the most i...	6	22	1,090
[WP] The contract for my soul	Collette licked her lips as she looked in her hand mirror. She put it face down on the dresser before picking it up and looking in it again. She did this three times before she actually accepted that the reflection staring back at her was her own. She lit a cigarette with one hand, still holding up her silver mirror ...	2	22	1,091
[WP] The contract for my soul	The fierce and unrelenting heat of the flames seared his skin and he could smell his own flesh cooking. As he recieved the devil's gift, painful as it was....he could only think of her. Cruel blue eyes, judging him. Her mournful words, hurting him day after day. Accusations. How could she think he didn't love her? Of c...	1	22	1,092
[WP] The contract for my soul	She had met the devil once before, when she visited and escaped from hell. He looked about the same as he did then, though it had been over sixty years ago, with his dark hair and eyes and his pitch fork in his hand. "You realize," he started slowly, "that if you give me your soul, I guarantee you, I won't let it slip...	1	22	1,093
[WP] The contract for my soul	FUCK. How do I keep getting into this sort of mess? I thought she was 18. She said she was 20. "Dvacet." She was pouring beer for shitsakes. Or maybe just wiping tables. (What passes for child labor in Prague?) Isn't 16 the age of consent? Our eyes locked for just a skip-- I caught her staring. She immediately look...	3	22	1,094
[WP] The contract for my soul	"I don't know if I'd go quite that far, Harry. 'Selling one's soul' is such a loaded phrase nowadays, don't you think? Why not consider it more of a loan?" He cocked his head to one side and pouted ever so slightly before adding, hesitantly, "You'd get it back..." Harry looked away, taking in the faux-positive vibe o...	1	22	1,095
[WP] The contract for my soul	The quill became heavier with each flaring stroke of my hand as my own blood appeared where the ink should have. As I crossed the T, I suddenly felt lighter. Literally. My look of surprise must have reached my face, as a raspy voice said from my right, "The burden of your mortal soul has been lifted. Now, isn't that b...	1	22	1,096
[WP] The contract for my soul	Kaen had never been a man to care for appearances, to judge those around him. Still, sitting across from an unkempt, wild mess of a man, he worried of those around him. He saw as many little niggling details as his eyes could catch, from faded, ripped and out of style clothing, to stains and scars and bad tattoos, anyt...	1	22	1,097
[WP] The contract for my soul	John Foster sat in the waiting room under the piercing glare of old crone who passed as the assistant to the man he was waiting for. Her name, according to the nameplate on her desk was M. Phistopheles and judging by her unwavering interest in John, she had no other duties than to watch him. John busied himself studyin...	1	22	1,098
