[WP] A hero's thoughts as he, during the middle of his victory celebration, comes to realize that he was the villain the whole time. | I grew all too accustomed to the scepticism. After all, the reaction was expected. These people had been burned one too many times by their so-called fairweather friends, who left at the first sign of trouble.
"He'll just leave us like the rest of them!" They shouted "He's just another spy!"

[WP] A hero's thoughts as he, during the middle of his victory celebration, comes to realize that he was the villain the whole time. | The black stallion snorted his protest in a blast of steam as he struggled to drag the dragon’s head, its golden scales ploughing a deep trough in the earth as the ropes that secured it creaked with strain. Alongside the beast strode Lord Rexxak Doomsbury, the black steel of his armour clanking with every stomp.

[WP] A hero's thoughts as he, during the middle of his victory celebration, comes to realize that he was the villain the whole time. | I can't even understand them. I speak the language, I know of the words they are using, but I cannot bring myself to accept that I can hear what they are saying about me.
"Hero of the People," they call me, as the grand leaders of the Republics praise every cell in my invincible body. "Bringer of Peace." So many good ... | 1 | 0 | 32 | 13,277 |

[WP] You're suddenly dropped back in time over 1,000 years ago. You have no idea how it happened. You're nude but somehow are holding a modern pistol... with 5 bullets. | It's all hazy now, I swear. I can't tell you much of what I was thinking. I only saw it for a little bit. It's not like you'd expect, or... well, it's not what *I* expected. See, I expected everything to be sepia. Sepia and blurry and old, and I expected everything to smell like mildew or an old book. But it's no... | 7 | 0 | 23 | 13,279 |

That's the only memory that came to mind when he tried to think back. He couldn't remember how he got here, or where here was even for that matter.

You're nude but somehow are holding a modern pistol... with 5 bullets. | First, I fired the gun to see did it work. It did. A waste perhaps but you have to be sure about these things. The crack drew attention. Twelve shepard's came wandering by to see the fuss. They laughed at my bare form before I shot one of them dead and aimed the revolver at the others.

[WP] A friendly hug gets weird. | I notice her sipping coffee, reading teen romance novels as most girls in their late teens are wont to do. She notices her former Senior Calculus teacher.

[WP] A friendly hug gets weird. | I hugged her goodbye, and to my surprise, she hugged me back a little more intensely than I've felt in years. While we embraced, I exhaled slightly, and a booger flew onto the nape of her neck. I gasped, tensed up, and quickly raised my hand to try and remove it.

[WP] A friendly hug gets weird. | I wrap my arms around her, feeling her the best I can through the thick winter jackets we're both wearing.
