[WP] A Reddit user on AskReddit asks; "What is the craziest crime you have ever gotten away with" in jest, someone replies Murder with links to unequivocal evidence of the crime.	Murder. I think I've gotten away with it, anyway. It happened in my home town which is tiny and relatively unknown, so it never even got publicized outside of one newspaper that services my county and two of the neighboring ones.

The truck was coming on pretty fast. He walked on the outside of the road stepping over old aluminum cans and tufts of hay blown off farming equipment being transported up and down the road. The truc...	10	111	11,283
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	I was lucky. I had been kidnapped by someone, but I managed to break free and find a dirt road. I figured if I walked along it, I'd find a town somewhere I could call the police. A car came driving up from behind me, and taking a chance, I stuck out my thumb. The car stopped, and the guy inside didn't look like one of ...	1	111	11,284
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	"Jesus christ", James said as he walked along the dry, cracked roadside. "Not quite.." A woman with a smooth, seductive tone said from behind. James turned his head to the side as the black '66 mustang pulled up and slowed. The slightly tinted window was rolled down halfway. The woman raised a hand, took off her shades...	3	111	11,285
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	This reminds me of a computer game called Hell Taxi!	2	111	11,286
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	Benjamin Stoltz is a man of unremarkable character. Or so those in his company would say. He is the sort of man who you neither need to look up nor down at. His soft, stocky build lets him meld with the backdrop. His quiet voice can't be picked out of a crowd. His flat hair is such a shade that it can't be remembered i...	6	111	11,287
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	I've had my thumb in the air for a while now. Waving to no one. waiting. The road was awful, broken and hardly used. The only human I'd seen around for miles was an unfortunate woman, dead and poorly hidden in the forest with her tongue cut out. Finally, I see the lights illuminate the road ahead. Appearing from now...	2	111	11,288
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	I'm not a writer, I just subscribed to this sub because I love to read the short stories these people can come up with on a creative siesta. I saved this post to power through later when I get off shift at work, so I apologize if it has already been done. I would love it if someone could make one that was a little "Cha...	2	111	11,289
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	"So, I presume you know who I am?" says the clean-cut 'man' beside me. "Yeah, I think I could guess." I reply, my voice stiff and mono-tone. "Well, what d'you think?" He says, motioning at himself. I am quiet for a moment; do I mock the creature that is beside me, revere it, or fear it? "...that's a nice suit. ...	2	111	11,290
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	This decrepit, god-awful road. I blew a tire hitting a pothole and have been sitting, praying for a ride longer than I care to admit. By now, I probably could have made it to a gas station. But I was in the middle of nowhere and it was near dusk. I kept convincing myself that some kind-spirit would help. Clearly, the m...	1	111	11,291
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	He looked so sad when I picked him up. Just a lost and lonely puppy by the side of the road. How could I not? he was tall, about 6'5, red hair and fiery sad eyes. he smelled slightly of sulfur, but he was polite enough to crack the window. the weather was nice enough that it wasn't an issue. "I'm the devil" he ...	1	111	11,292

[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	There was a heavy rain that night. Cars passed me by every so often, their headlights blinding me, the sounds of their engines blue, then red-shifting. I shivered, and my teeth chattered from the cold. I lifted my hand up, but on a night like this it was doubtful anyone would even see me, much less stop. The forest was...	2	111	11,295
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	I knew it before I got in, but I got in since I figured he was gonna take me where I'm bound for anyway, and hell, a '68 Eldorado'd be a sweet ride to go down in. Best ride I'd seen all day. He smoked real heavy cigarettes, and he shared, which suited me just fine. Didn't talk much. -So, we headin- -Yep. I tried t...	1	111	11,296
[WP] You hitchhike and get picked up by the Devil.	Ann walked by the side of the road, gripping the straps of her dusty backpack, kicking small rocks out of her path. She didn’t walk with her thumb out, like most hitchhikers. When she heard a car, she would stop and turn, squinting to get a look at the driver. If it was a man driving alone, she kept walking. The ho...	1	111	11,297
[WP] an intelligent race evolves in a solar system with no other celestial bodies on a planet where they are the only lifeform (including single celled life)	((I took this as there is no subclass of the singular life form either.)) "Life." Professor Izen begins the first day of class with this word. Taking a drawn out breath of helium before continuing, as if allowing the class to take the word in. Though really he hasn't said much of anything yet. "Is the single biggest...	2	5	11,298
[EU] Muggles discover wizard-kind.	Today has been such a strange day. While walking to the office today, I could have sworn I saw an owl. An owl! Aren’t those supposed to be nocturnal creatures? Oh well, I guess strange things like that are bound to happen on Earth. Wait, did that man just say Wingardium Leviosa? I speak ten languages, but I swear that ...	3	7	11,299
