[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | There she was again, always sitting in that fucking chair. Everyday when he gets home from work there she is.
"The problem, you fucking bitch, is that you're perfect! You're to, mother fucking perfect!"
He lurched across the room and ripped her from her chair, her stitches pulling and tearing, all those parts that ... | 3 | 0 | 22 | 12,987 |
[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | I look into her eyes...they've always been that unique gold color. There really wasn't another way to describe it. The sunlight could tread in them for hours, letting her irises absorb its color. I breath her in, her scent was constant; warm laundry and cinnamon. Her grin hasn't left her face. She still holds a toothy... | 3 | 0 | 22 | 12,988 |

[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | He blinks, and I wonder if it's possible to blink more perfectly than that.
He smiles gently, and I wonder if he sees me like I see him.
He leans forward, and my breath is stolen. For a moment, I can think of nothing.
With shaking hands, I reach out and clasp his pale hands in mine. Their weak grip is foreign and ho... | 10 | 0 | 22 | 12,990 |
[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | "C'mon Jimmy, this is so dumb! Why are you doing this?"
Jimmy sighed. "I'm not *doing* anything."
"Well, you're moving out. You're packing a bag. I'd call that something!"
Jimmy kept packing, not looking up from his bed as he zipped his suitcase. "I'll be back for the rest of my things." He muttered, moving to push... | 1 | 0 | 22 | 12,991 |
[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | I look at her from across the table, she's looks beautiful as always...too beautiful I've noticed that with her, it's the stolen glances that are the best. The ones where she doesn't think anyone is watching, and she loses herself in her own little world. I sigh breaking my train of thought, oh wait she's smiling at me... | 3 | 0 | 22 | 12,992 |
[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | “Hey, Grace. We need to talk.” It felt weird hearing my voice through the static from my dusty home phone; my cell has been dead for a week and I plan to keep it that way.
“Uh oh, that doesn’t sound good. Eric, what’s up?” She’s completely unaware. She doesn’t suspect a thing. She doesn’t know how much pain she puts m... | 1 | 0 | 22 | 12,993 |
[WP] You're breaking up with the perfect SO. | Ok, hi. Yes, thank you. I know, I *had* been looking at just this purse only last week! It's so nice that you remember. You always remember. I can't say that you don't.
It's just.... look. What? My ear? There's something in my... oh, haha, it's a Sephora gift card! Wow. Haha. In my ear. Yes, I know you've taken up pre... | 5 | 0 | 22 | 12,994 |
[WP] As the protagonist walks up to your house, the protagonist him or herself steps out and hands him or herself something before running off down the street. | *184 Resitiant Lane, this is the right house.* I thought to myself. I shoved my hands into my pocket and fingered the plastic handle of the butcher knife. Inside the house contained a young boy that would grow up into a psychopathic killer. I approached the dull gray house with a bright red garage door. The rumbling of... | 3 | 0 | 6 | 12,995 |
[WP] When young boys are called off to war. | He was seven when the draft picked him. For some reason all the able bodied men were all used up and there were just the children. He remembered the day it happened.
His mother was in tears as men with machine guns drug him away from her arms. His father was lying unconscious on the floor. The boy knew not if his fat... | 4 | 0 | 53 | 12,996 |
[WP] When young boys are called off to war. | We stand in a line. Young people, all bright and shining. Little futures all in a row. When we step into that truck our lights go out. Whether our bodies come back or not, no one returns from this war. Futures snuffed out.
Why us, why this time, why this time, why this place? Not for us to ask anymore. We don't... | 27 | 0 | 53 | 12,997 |
[WP] When young boys are called off to war. | It all started with The Knock.
The knock Jessica had been dreading, despite knowing it was only a matter of time. The knock that meant the time had come. The knock that said her baby boy was about to be taken away.
Expecting the worst, she peeked out the window – dammit, just as she thought. Outside was a green ... | 10 | 0 | 53 | 12,998 |
[WP] When young boys are called off to war. | There came a loud knock at the door, as if someone were attempting to bust it down. Mother went dead silent and utterly pale. She got up from the dinner table and started moving towards the door.
"Mama, what's going on?" I said.
"Daniel, just stay right here..." She replied solemnly.
Once she reached the door, she ... | 7 | 0 | 53 | 12,999 |
