[WP] A women claiming she is a ghost appears before you and begins to follow you everywhere. She's clearly invisible to everyone else but are you just imagining her?
“Oh, get the one on the left!” I had come to trust Isabelle’s judgment over these past few weeks. I found myself doing whatever she suggested. Though she usually guided me in the right direction, I remained wary of her origin and motive. It seemed like a B movie idea. Girl meets boy, nobody else in the world can see g...

At least if the year I spent trekking around the desert was anything to go by. I walked out of my job one day. Took all our savings, sold the house. Eleanor didn’t approve. I didn’t e...

The light had just turned red but I sped through it anyway throwing caution to the wind. Over the years I had made many similar late night runs just like this one and had trained myself to be on the lookout for cops.

The bitterly cold wind whipped at my hair, and pierced sharply through the defenses of my jacket. My breath caught in my lungs, and I coughed harshly through the lit cigarette that I was holding between my thumb and index finger. I had started smoking again, almost a year after quitting.

A really different take. As soon as a read the prompt, I thought of a simplistic rocket ship shaped as a needle, trailing a red thread through the universe in preparation to stitch it up.

Did you ever look up on a particular clear night and marvel at all the stars? Did you start staring and could not stop, because there might be a sign, a movement, anything? Did you then give up and feel empty inside, because you knew that there will never be a way to reach those celestial bodies, explore bizarre envi...

Talk to this person for five minutes? But I'm replying on my phone, is that cheating? Does it matter if I'm cheating? Jeez, I ask way too many questions, my main idea is already on screen, and I'm only a minute in. Today I had my first encounter with this subreddit (what's it called? This window is covering the subred...

I'm not really sure where to go with this... I guess I should probably write about whatever i'm thinking about, but i'm thinking about what I should be writing. Shit. Endless circle... Restarting. Before I was thinking about what I should be writing I was thinking about what I want out of my life right now. I stopped ...

Wait! Wait, don't go. I swear there's a really good reason. Just stop, take a deep breath, let me explain. I saw you the first time last week. I know I didn't talk to you until yesterday, but that was just because I couldn't find you again. I'm not some crazy stalker and I have never done anything like this before, bu...

Hey there. I'm feeling a bit alone right now. I haven't really written in a while, and it's not just for lack of time. I also haven't been having many ideas lately. There have been some things happening in my real-world life, and right now, they're all I can think about. I go to sleep thinking about it, and I wake up t...

I'm new to writing. I recently started doing it partly because I had a story, or perhaps the form of a story, bouncing around in my mind. After having read fervently for most of life, a feeling has arisen: that I should try my hand at actually producing something instead of simply consuming the written word. So I write...

This is the type of writing I almost always do. Not timed, of course. But I have trouble in general coming up with ideas. Maybe that's just an excuse, though. I'm not particularly interested in writing fiction that requires elaborate worlds or twists or is very plot dependent or anything like that. I'm more interested ...

So, I’m at work currently, but I’ve got so little to do that I’ve decided to spend five minutes on this prompt. I really want to get to work on my novel, more than work at the moment, but I only have bits and pieces of time through the day to do stuff, and really what I need is several hours of concentration to pull to...

I have always wanted to be a writer. Right from the get-go, that’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. Kids when they are young want to be an astronaut, or a footballer, or whatever the hell. Maybe a nurse, for whatever darned reason. I never wanted any of that. From the moment I learned that putting words on a page could get ...

So you want me to talk to you for five minutes, aye? Get to know me a little bit better? Get inside my head? Well I suppose that isn't such a bad idea. I will prefer using good punctuation and grammar though, at least in terms of what I'd like it to sound... like... when I type this, and think it in my head, for that ...

While I write stream-of-consciousness anyways, I might as well give this a shot. I've been really lax in my writing lately, I have written a couple of things in the past couple weeks, just short reviews. I'm not great at fiction as I'm not terribly creative when it comes to creating a narrative, or dialogue, but I ca...

So I just finished watching Breaking Bad. Have you seen that show? It's fucking awesome. I probably shouldn't give away any spoilers though, since, ya know, some people might not have seen it yet. I guess that's the weird thing with this exercise. I'm not really talking to "you," am I? I'm talking to everyone. I...

Wow, this is probably one of the coolest prompts I have ever seen on this subreddit. For some reason, the idea of just talking to someone that you don't know for 5 minutes is so soothing. Right now, I don't care about the quality of my writing, the constant dig of a intricate plot and best of all, I don't care about my...

So I'm actually pretty new to this thread. Meaning I've only really looked around at other people's stories and just sat amazed and too afraid to say anything. But you know what? I like this prompt. Because even an amateur writer like myself can find some meaning and enjoyment out of a prompt like this. Even if it is j...

Viscera is one of my favorite words. Party because of night vale, partly because of it's sound. it's a very beauitful word for a very gross thing. Also, I like the V sound. wish there were more words that had that sound. there other, but none quite as good. also, why isn't there more ways to change the mening of a word...

I am listening ot music right now, and obviously browsing reddit because I am bored. There really is something about sitting around, doing nothing. I get to see what other think and feel.

So it’s 8:23 and I am too impatient to wait for 8:24 to roll on by so that I can have an exact 5 minutes. I guess I’ll just stick to 4+ minutes then. I wonder now how long this will be – given that I can barely type 40 wpm and given five minutes – maybe 200 words? So my only goal is to try and beat that 200 words in th...

Hmmm. I like this idea. Well, I recently saw the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Its so good and so damn quotable. WATCH IT! Seriously. Leonardo Dicaprio, genius. He’s my favourite actor. He was good in “The Great Gatsby” as well but I’d rather read the book. F.Scott Fitzgerald writes the most sexiest sentences ever. ...

So I like music. I decided to use a five minute song as a timer for this little writing thing, which seems like it'll be fun. The song closest to five minutes was 'wide awake on paradise boulevard', a mashup of katy perry, green day, and coldplay. I recommend it. Besides that, I'm not really sure what to talk about. I...

Alright, here goes nothing then. My apologies in advance, because this is probably going to be more of a rant than a... piece of writing or something. Word vomit, more like.
