[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | I could remember back to when I was a little kid, back to when I had a million what ifs pinging around my skull, driving my imagination wild. What if I could become invisible? What if I had a million dollars? What if I was born a dog? What would all that be like?
Usually, probably out of the naiveté of being a kid, l... | 16 | 0 | 73 | 15,879 |
[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | Jessica finished buttoning up her blouse and looked for her research partner, Artyom. She was as angry as she was elated. The scientific breakthroughs they made that day would change the world. But where was he? She didn't piece together what happened until the next day when the news storm hit.
Nowadays, that fateful ... | 12 | 0 | 73 | 15,880 |
[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | The condemned man stood bound on the gallows, listening passively to the long litany of charges against him. Capital theft. Sedition. Arson. Triple homicide. Commandeering a warship. High treason. With each offense the shouts of the gathered mob grew even greater, even more thirsty for blood. With each offense the crim... | 18 | 0 | 73 | 15,881 |
[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | The man held the little teddy bear in his hands and smiled at it. He pushed back his greasy hair, filthy from weeks of not bathing, and wiggled his shoes, which were held together with duct-tape. He coughed a dry hacking cough. He laughed, "Mr Wiggles, my friend, be happy that teddy bears don't get sick." He coughed... | 4 | 0 | 73 | 15,882 |

[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | Stepping into the gleaming control room at CERN, Chang rubbed the laughing buddha's belly. It was a tradition before any major event here. It brings Good luck, they said. He really needed it today. After all, today was the first of a series of experiments he had helped design to reveal the true nature of reality. What ... | 5 | 0 | 73 | 15,884 |

[WP] Time freezes for all but one man, and does not restart. What does he do? | People believe that when the rapture came, there would be a great catastrophe that would roam all over the world while people will be whisked into heaven. The ones who are damned are left on Earth to experience the end of the world. I believe I have just experienced rapture. Actually, I didn’t even realize it had happe... | 1 | 0 | 73 | 15,887 |
[WP] A man is driven to madness by his toothbrush. | The second shelf. That damned second shelf. Every morning, and every night, I put my toothbrush on the first shelf. And every day, when I reach for it, it's on the second shelf. It was maddening. Who was moving it? Who was tormenting me?! I didn't deserve this. And then, one day, I saw him do it. He looked just like me... | 12 | 0 | 18 | 15,888 |
[WP] A man is driven to madness by his toothbrush. | I think I ended up digressing a little (and it ended up about double the length I intended). I had also envisaged a different ending, but I kind of wrote myself into this one:

[WP] A man is driven to madness by his toothbrush. | He spat the last remaining minty foam into the sink, noticing some pinkish swirls in the viscous melange of oral fluids. He then tongued the backsides of his teeth. A powerful wave of frustration came over him. The rough texture of plaque was still present despite vigorous scrubbing.
He stared hatefully at his toothbr... | 2 | 0 | 18 | 15,890 |
[WP] A man is driven to madness by his toothbrush. | The man held the toothbrush in his hand quizzically. He furrowed his brow and began twitching. Foam escaped from his mouth as he fell and hit his head on the ceramic sink. He laid on the floor, unconscious, in the fetal position.
"Tom! Tom! Are you okay," asked his wife outside the locked door. She pounded, "Open up!... | 2 | 0 | 18 | 15,891 |
[WP] A man is driven to madness by his toothbrush. | I brush the back of my hand against the brissles of my brush, standing alone in the tub that contains it and the tooth paste. It seems so non-chalant that, if it were a cartoon character, it would be whistling whilst staring with raised eyebrows at random spots around the bathroom.
I feel the wetness of it's head, and... | 2 | 0 | 18 | 15,892 |

[WP] People that die in the ocean become mermaids | Emily walked along the shore, staring out into the glistening blue sea as the sun set. This was her favourite place to be after a long day. Especially today. You see, Emily had broken up with her boyfriend when she found him cheating on her with her best friend. Today just wasn't Emily's day.
She sat on the sand, and ... | 4 | 0 | 24 | 15,894 |
[WP] People that die in the ocean become mermaids | When I lost control of the wheel my grasp on the world around me slipped away. The pounding in my head when I came to was like jackhammers on pavement. I felt my gears grinding, my thoughts twisting and scraping against each other, rather than streamlining and flowing cleanly. There was blood everywhere, but it wasn't ... | 3 | 0 | 24 | 15,895 |
[WP] People that die in the ocean become mermaids | I take a deep breath. After all it'll be one of the last ones that I'll ever be having. One more breath. Just one more breath. I thought as I stood on the edge of the cliff. I had always liked the ocean when I was younger. Was always fascinated by just looking out on the coastline.
But now it all felt different. I th... | 1 | 0 | 24 | 15,896 |
[WP] People that die in the ocean become mermaids | We don’t say anything anymore.
We aren’t the yapping dolphins that entwine their paths playfully or with joy.
We are more like the shark,
I think,
Quiet and focused,
We travel together but we needn’t say anything anymore.
We are the ones cursed by the albatross.
We filled our lungs with salt water.
We struggled... | 1 | 0 | 24 | 15,897 |

[WP] People that die in the ocean become mermaids | Stars permeated the midnight blue sky above The Sundmaður as it rested on the still waters of the Norwegian Sea, as the Northern Lights danced to their own ethereal tune, painting swathes of neon from horizon to horizon.
