[WP] Cats and Dogs see us as immortal and unchanging, simply because we can easily survive to be forty years old, while they struggle to survive twenty.	They baffle me, to be honest, these things. These giants, who feed us and love us. They’re so warm and adoring most of the time. But sometimes, they’re so uncaring and cruel. During the loud months especially, they seem angered by my pain. I suppose it’s hard for them to care much about my kind. They are huge and wonde...	29	401	12,101

[WP] A conversation in a crack den.	Terry paced back and forth across the rotting wood floor.

[WP] A conversation in a crack den.	Tashi was ashamed. This was his seventh attempt at quitting, but he had never made it more than a few days.

[WP] Write about an extremely ordinary situation (walking down a hall, or eating lunch) where nothing extraordinary happens, but the writing style makes it interesting.	Damn, this sandwich is good. The mix of warm, gooey egg interacting with the sharp tang of mayo makes my mouth water even before I clamp down on it.

[IP] Don't stray from the path	'Don't stray from the path'. Yeah, I remember being told that. Don't stray from the path. Don't live. Get a fucking job and a mortgage. Fuck you. Fuck the path. Whose path is it? I didn't ask for a path. And now this shitty advice had come full circle. I was stood on a path, and I had two ways to go. One way, stay ...	3	9	12,192

The first second is the moment I realize what I must do, and that I start doing it. I start removing the universe. All the pain, suffering, death and torment, it has to ...	7	12	12,196
[WP] Write about three seconds.	The eyes of the nation stared, unblinking. Confusion, conjecture, postulation, and assumption filled the minds of the viewing audience.

[WP] Write about three seconds.	A boy watches as his father falls, caused by his own knife after he had been beaten my his father's own two hands after enraging him.

[WP] Write about three seconds.	There was an explosion, and everything contained within the dense ball shot out in a beautiful, fiery display of destruction. Was this the beginning of the universe?
