[IP] A solitary kneeling protester | A lone lady kneels before the crowd,
A lone crow's cry echoes aloud,
The man behind the mask,
Is determined to carry on his task,

He's just a pawn in some political ploy,
The woman's face is streaked with tears,
The man can even feel her fear,
But the thousands behind ... | 2 | 0 | 14 | 14,480 |

[WP] Write a story in which the first sentence gives away the ending. | I shot the man who murdered my wife today.
I knew him so well, yet he was a complete mystery. His glazed over eyes were laced with a hauntingly beautiful iris that seemed to reflect my wife's face. I've been living for almost a full year without my wife now, and I am finally looking at him- I've been yearning for this... | 28 | 0 | 11 | 14,483 |

[WP] Write a story in which the first sentence gives away the ending. | Not for the last time, thinks Werner Rot, that this is going to suck. The dark blue uniform he is wearing itches. The wool is stifling on this Spring morning. His leather pack is heavy to carry. Only the breeze blowing in his face keeps things tolerable. Werner wipes sweat from his brow.

[WP] Write a story in which the first sentence gives away the ending. | I had an apple for lunch.
At noon, I went for a walk. Through suburban streets, devoid of life. My feet grew sore. My toes blistered, a few of my nails bled, yet I continued. On and on. Until I was in grassy fields far from civilization.

The Reds were bound to do something more, something worse, eventually. Beating him up obviously wasn't the start of it. I didn't understand, as I lied in my bed, how something so vital can leave in a small moment like that. Bang. Shot t... | 1 | 0 | 11 | 14,488 |
[WP] Write a story in which the first sentence gives away the ending. | I watch as she falls. I turn my back and walk away.
I just wanted a smoke. I always need to smoke when my parents come over. Any excuse to leave the room will do but smoking really gives them the shits. They show up once a year, telling me to quit the job I love, abandon my "life of sodomy" and find Christ. Today I sm... | 1 | 0 | 11 | 14,489 |

I sometimes wonder what life would have been if I had done things a little differently.
