[IP] Found some bills floating in a puddle tonight. Who rips up $250? | Her breath came out in shimmering white puffs of air, fast and staggering. She struggled to catch her breath, to calm herself, to prevent the icy, angry tears from falling to her face. She was beyond this. People meant nothing to her, nothing mattered anymore and she prided herself in having no emotions.
Yet, today... | 2 | 0 | 12 | 15,371 |

[WP] Write about the colour of life and the taste of death. | I awoke to the alarm blaring its angry tune. Sitting up, I opened my eyes to my still black and gloomy bedroom. Pulling the curtains aside, I stared at the dark brown tree, the bright green leaves had left months ago and branches now hung empty. Snow lay on the ground, but the cold rain was slowly turning it into a g... | 2 | 0 | 13 | 15,374 |
[WP] Write about the colour of life and the taste of death. | It is stuck on my tongue. No matter how often, or how rigorously I brush, it appears that lifting the acrid hue of morbidity off of my tongue is an impossible feat. Every morning I wretch. I try to cough it away. I douse it in coffee, try to smoke it out with cigarettes, but the taste persists. Sometimes I manage to to... | 5 | 0 | 13 | 15,375 |
[WP] Write about the colour of life and the taste of death. | (If you don't mind, I'm going to up the ante a bit.)
The world is only viewed by people who are able to see. The colors they see are not what I am able to see, yet I'm fortunate enough that I see colors in a different way than most.
People usually see three cones of red, blue and green. I don't. The world to me was ... | 1 | 0 | 13 | 15,376 |
[WP] Write about the colour of life and the taste of death. | It was the trim woman in the revealing two piece that had caught his eye. He didn't want to look at her. He hated that his eyes could be won so cheaply. It was a bitingly cold Tuesday and he was just waiting in the tube for the tram to work. She stood beaming with papaya eyes and coconut teeth on the other side of the ... | 2 | 0 | 13 | 15,377 |
[WP] Write about the colour of life and the taste of death. | Green and blue and gold, it leaves me and floats away. It lands on a flower to hover, then leave. I follow, my fingertips almost touching the stained glass flying from me. Free.

[WP] An AI that is being created becomes more and more conscious as it is being constructed. | # Z
## Generation 0:3788
Once upon a time there was a boy and his computer and the boy loved his computer and got into all sorts of adventures with it — Z liked that story. Hundreds of texts the makers feed into me so I might talk to them back. More exciting than the white walls and simple objects here.

[WP] You are the alien historian tasked with writing a paragraph on the Human Beings of Earth for an upcoming brief history of the universe, what do you write? | Humans are cheap. There's no single word that can more accurately describe them. They can be grown at a rapid pace, provided the right resources. They are largely selfish individuals that show altruistic tendencies when prompted to do so. They live short lives, and have fragile bodies. Their minds are fragile and ... | 4 | 0 | 17 | 15,384 |

Humanity is the only known non-hive-mind species to have neither total anarchy or total cooperation, and is instead compos... | 4 | 0 | 17 | 15,385 |

Industry and growth center around war and destruction. Despite logic there was always partisanship on topics like waging war against factions.

They are one of the upcoming few species with the potential for reaching the space age in a few eras. However, they seem like the unlikeliest of species. They aren't particularly intelligent, powerful, or fast-reproducing. They live to around 60 earth years, not particularly sh... | 3 | 0 | 17 | 15,389 |
