This is truly an inconvenient time to release a new album. Life has not been going well lately, and I'm not going to use your music as a soundtrack to something less than amazing. I'll let you know if I meet someone, otherwise there are a bunch of things I need to resolve before we can start making ... | 1 | 0 | 16 | 14,379 |
[WP] Write a letter to someone. | To my beloved,
You probably wouldn't read this, but I just had to tell you how I feel. I guess I'll feel better writing this down. The time we spent together was amazing. I'll never forget about it. However, the cold hard truth is that all things must end eventually. It ended too early. We could've created so much mo... | 2 | 0 | 16 | 14,380 |
[WP] Write a letter to someone. | *To you.*
You're one of the few people who understand what I've been through. You were there through it all, to be honest. And I hope you understand just how much I have riding on you. If you were to just up and leave, I feel like I would have nothing left. You saved me once but I fear there would be no one else who c... | 1 | 0 | 16 | 14,381 |
[WP] A research team finds a tomb containing the corpses and technology of a long extinct culture of super-advanced humans, and they discover clues as how they reached their fate, and why nobody has found them yet. | Matthew Smith looked intently at the man who was half buried in an eviscerated panel on the outer wall of the structure.
"What've you got there Jimmy?"
"Almost there, battery tapped in, just tracing the control lines to clip onto aaaannnnddd.... OPEN!"

We were only looking for a harmless anomaly, maybe some lost treasure like every boy dreamed of finding. While scanning the jungles w... | 12 | 0 | 47 | 14,383 |

They knew that they'd be found, but only long after their culture had died off. It was the only explanation that made sense. Why else would they have left a key to their numbering system?
It was a set of markings painted onto the metallic walls of the tomb, organized into two columns. The left column ... | 6 | 0 | 47 | 14,385 |
[WP] The year is 2030 and the world is on the brink of WWIII. You're at a world conference with the nations leaders and you are speaking. What you say next will plunge the World into war or save humanity. What happens? | I had not wanted to be a diplomat when I was young, but it so happened that the life I lead left me with the skills that would make me a good one. Public speaking came to me naturally, as did languages. I had a vast understanding of history and the cultures of the world, both being passions I pursued privately.

[WP] Everybody in the world switches bodies with a random person. | I haven't tried talking to the old lady in the other room for a while now.

It's almost been a week of this constant noise, and it gets louder every hour. I will lose my sanity soon.
Sleep is no comfort. When I close my eyes. I can still hear it.
