[IP] "How long is forever?" "Sometimes, just one second"	-024 How long is forever? Not as long as you think. Eternity for me began with a blinker being switched on. It was foggy and Christmas Eve. The mist was freezing, turning green and yellow lawns white. It wasn't snow, but it'd work for the time being. No wind or sleigh stirred the fog. It hung like a curtain, hiding...	2	50	11,700
[IP] "How long is forever?" "Sometimes, just one second"	I watched her until morning. The tears on her face had long since dried, leaving nothing but the sound of air undulating slowly, raggedly, through her congested airway. She was beautiful like this, I thought. Sleep had stolen her anguish and left only a peaceful mask. I prayed she wouldn't wake soon; she deserved t...	3	50	11,701
[IP] "How long is forever?" "Sometimes, just one second"	The moonlight clashed with the skin on her face in such a brilliant way, and his shaking hands had relaxed as he truly took in what she had asked him, what she implied. "Is there..." he started to repeat "...is, is there anything here? Like, with us?" He knew damn well it was. "Y-yeah. I mean, we just...The way you ...	1	50	11,702
[IP] "How long is forever?" "Sometimes, just one second"	Please help me. I know you're looking for proof, some kind of evidence that my fate is what I say it is.

[IP] "How long is forever?" "Sometimes, just one second"	Interestingly enough, I had a really hard time with this prompt until I wrote about three seconds.

[WP] Using modern technology, an army of 100 from the present wipes out an army of 10,000 from ancient times. They are then wiped out by an army of 10 from the future	Mallory feels the legion marching in step. He grew up in a town with fewer people than what’s advancing on their hill from all sides in a series of perfect squares. Red shields with gold trim, each wider than a man’s torso, hide much of the men carrying them. Spears in some hands, swords in others, and metal and leathe...	5	6	11,705

[WP] You walk into a room. Describe what you are in the presence of using all 5 senses.	My nostrils inhale and I do not smell air but fumes. Breathing, I listen for once to everything. Hearing, my mouth tastes the humid obnoxious noxiousness; the particles fall on my tongue and the buds recoil. Don't lick. Eyes closed, I touch the wall as I stumble over objects, some organic which absorb the step and s...	1	2	11,707
[WP] You walk into a room. Describe what you are in the presence of using all 5 senses.	I feel the burn of heat on my face but can see only darkness. The happy smell of wet dog assaults the nostrils after only a couple steps into the dark. At first there is no noise but as I feel the boards of a stair give way and hear a creak of weakness it is followed by the tingling sound of a dogs collar. Brunt force ...	1	2	11,708
[WP] a character in a book who has suffered all his life edits the plot in it	The eraser moved rapidly across the page. As it skipped from line to line it behaved like an extension of his arm missing nothing that was in it's path.

[EU] You are a Vault Dweller (The Fallout Series)	We had been told that it was a safe place. An armory full of guns, a large recreation area, we even had a damn pool!

[WP] "I made her love me."	Or rather I made her, and she loved me. She originally didn't exist, except in my mind. It was in my sleep that I first saw her and immediately my heart was enthralled.

I've already decided, this will be where and when I die. I've nothing else to live for. That was taken from me three months ago. M...	5	12	11,781
[WP] here you stand, alone again, about to take your own life. Nothing is holding you back now. You decide to look around your room one more time until something catches your eye, and the impact it has on you stops you in your tracks and makes you realize why you can't do this to yourself.	I'm sitting on the edge of my bed. I look at the bottle of pills in my hand. Small and orange and prescribed for something I didn't have to someone I'm not. They'd be my cure now. I've done the research. Four or five will put me out. I'll fade. Slow. I've decided I'm taking the whole bottle. I don't want slow. My fa...	3	12	11,782

The trigger of the gun felt cold against my finger. I knew it was time. Nobody was out there for me. Not even I was out there for me. I took a look around my old room, taking it all in one last time. Then I saw it. That was 3 years ago. She doesn't care about you now my mind reminded me. *But what if she do...	2	12	11,783

You decide to look around your room one more time until something catches your eye, and the impact it has on you stops you in your tracks and makes you realize why you can't do this to yourself.	Breathing out the last drops from the bottom of the bottle, I was seized with anger. I hurled the damned thing against the wall, where it shattered like the lies and lives I once believed in. That sad, sappy man living in the cramped one bedroom, if you could call it living, had given up a long time ago, turning reso...	2	12	11,784

You decide to look around your room one more time until something catches your eye, and the impact it has on you stops you in your tracks and makes you realize why you can't do this to yourself.	"Fuck" Nobody said it would be this cold. I never believed for a second that as you died, your whole life flashed before your eyes. I never believed that you would go to Heaven - Or Hell. Or anywhere. You just stop being. You become a cadaver; meat. But that wind just makes me almost deaf and I begin to think of him....	2	12	11,785

I don’t really know how I came to this point. From the outside my life probably looks pretty great, a loving wife, a good car, a nice house and a high earning job. I take vacations to Europe twice a year for two weeks at a time. Work a maximum of 30 hours a week and yet still earn six figures. The majority of the popul...	1	12	11,786

[WP] A dystopian/neutropian/utopian future society where everyone is screened for biological/genetic indicators of criminal tendencies	It started off so well. People welcomed the idea, hailing a new utopia. There would be no more disease, no more disabilities, no more suffering. We couldn’t understand why there was outcry from even a small minority; who didn’t want to live in Utopia? But they understood. It started off innocently enough, a standard sc...	2	6	11,788
[WP] A Superhero who runs out of villians or crime in any fashion to fight.	It’s been 6 months now and the city is almost complete, I can’t help but wonder what they will decide to call it. Things are looking up here with many of the gardens really taking shape. I’m glad I took the time to get the Baobab trees from Africa, and all those moss covered boulders form Iceland, the dichotomy really...	2	4	11,789
[WP] A Superhero who runs out of villians or crime in any fashion to fight.	Flying Freedom landed with practiced flair next to an elderly women and a young man. He barely cracked the sidewalk. "Is this man bothering you, Ma'am?" His voice was as deep as the Marianas Trench and as soothing as aloe on sunburn.

[CC] Another short story I wrote based on a prompt I saw from here. Tell me what you think.	I love this, it took me longer than I care to admit before I realised it was being narrated by a fire!

[CC] Another short story I wrote based on a prompt I saw from here. Tell me what you think.	Excellent story. Well done! There are a couple of things I'd like to say about, which hopefully you'll find useful: - The only part of the story I had a real problem with was the dialogue at the end. Having just worked out what had happened, I felt "... the fire originated ..." was just shoving the narrator's identity...	2	7	11,794
[WP] A man gains telekinetic powers and uses it to rack up money... however possible.	The roar of the crowd was deafening, he hadn't though this type of event or the people who attended them got so loud. He couldn't hear a thing the woman sat beside him was saying, not that he cared anyway, he'd only invited her along to dissuade other women from hitting on him; he was rich, and therefore unsurprisin...	2	6	11,795

"Eight, black!" called the croupier, and Steve smiled again as another stack of chips was deposited next to his in the "1st 12" box on the roulette board.

[WP]A young man living in a world where if you kill someone, their age is added onto your life.	"You disgust me." Andy paces across the dark room. Blinds cover the dilapidated windows, the only source of light. Across him sits an elderly man, staring into the abyss. He did not seem to notice Andy. "Why don't you listen to me, you fucking piece of shit!" He walks up and grab the old man from the collars. "How. D...	49	91	11,797

[WP]A young man living in a world where if you kill someone, their age is added onto your life.	Re-reading the prompt I think I may have misinterpreted it. I now read it as killing someone extends your life by their age. I wrote the below with the reading as: killing someone adds their age to yours. He was an old man now. And he was suffering.
