Never posted on this sub before...here goes my first post! The girl at the counter is smiling at me. She's pretty. Big blue eyes, real nice smile. Her body looks nice and tight, perky tits, though she's practically swallowed by the atrocious red and white striped uniform all the fair workers are wearing. Her blonde ha...

I stood in the middle of the square. I observed the people around me. All my life, I was told they were sinners... that they were bad. But they looked normal to me. Like anyone I've ever known. There were children, hardly younger than me. Parents were tugging them away. People were laughing and talking. *But no,* a v...

[WP] Two young men agree that if both of them make it past 90 they will try to assassinate the other to gain each other's inheritance.
Jon stared at the digital clock on his bedside. *23:59* it told him, the digits flickering gently in the dark of his room, the colon between the two numbers dancing its rhythm. "Tick tock, tick tock, goes the clock," he muttered, chuckling gently to himself, recalling the words his mother always used to say. It was...

Phil rolled over onto his back, turning his head to the right towards the clock on his nightstand. A dim 10:44pm glowed red in the darkness. The colon in the middle ticked silently. On. Off. On. Off. He watched, counting each flicker. He usually fell asleep around 9:00pm – he’d been doing so without trouble since his 7...

But despite this shocking detail no one besides experts would actually notice, what drew the attention were hundreds upon hundreds of clocks. Big, small, gra...

It began millenia ago. How many I have long forgotten. It is interesting, really. When people think of immortality they think that they will simply live to be able to do anything they want – to experience everything and achieve a form of completeness. Yet, how many mere mortals remember anything that happened in their ...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
To look at me know, you'd probably think that wish was my biggest mistake. Not at all - in fact, if I did one thing right in my life, it was to ask that big blue sucker for immortality. If I did one thing wrong, however, it was to ask for it only for myself. Youth and selfishness go hand in hand however, and now I'm pa...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
A month in the springtime, day unknown, year unknown, Funny how I still have the habit of putting the date at the beginning of every journal entry, even though I've completely lost track of time. Anyways, I often think back to that conversation, the conversation that meant so much more than I realized at the time. I ...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
The heat. Oh, God, the feeling of it beating down through the tatters of what used to be a t-shirt, and is now some small semblance of protection from the sun which has drowned everything. "Water," I attempt to moan. A rough noise escapes my throat, but it isn't the sound I expected. It's been a long time since I was ...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
I cried, and finally let go of his hand. This man, that I had never met before, had meant more to me than anyone else ever did. He was the last one. The last person left, other than me, and now I had no one. I sighed, and wiped the tears from my face. So what now? I never thought that it would end like this, and if I d...

Dear future me, Yea, you the one reading this I'm talking to you. Look, we've gotten sort of, stretched, in our old age so I don't know when you'll read this. Let me get back to the beginning. One day we found a genie, a being capable of granting all wishes. We were young and foolish, and we wished to be live forever...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
I often think about that day, the day the genie granted my wish. It was a long time ago now, in another country as the saying goes. Well, that particular saying isn't around any more, but I keep it alive, along with a lot of other things. I talked the idea over with my friends, purely as a hypothetical, a few days aft...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
When you live forever, time doesnt move the same way it used to. Days begin to feel like seconds, months like hours, years like days. Before I go to sleep, I watch the sun rise and fall 20 times. When he said I would live forever, I thought it came with invincibility too. I thought I could jump off a building, get bac...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
I never asked for this. With the noose around my neck, trying to brace myself and find the courage to kick over the chair, the grinning face appears before me: "I grant you immortality." I was sure it was an hallucination, I kicked over the chair. I've kicked over a thousand chairs, put every gun I could find in my m...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
"Where is that genie lamp?!" I yelled at myself, while panicky searching through the contents of my attic. Many years ago, a genie gave me the only wish I'd ever wanted. It was a wish I'm surprised isn't the first choice every time someone pondered meeting a genie. I wished that I would never die. What good is mone...

[WP] A genie granted you immortality many ages ago. The last human other than yourself has just died out. What do you do?
It was many eons ago. I was so young then, and I did not believe in magic. I'd been sitting in a bar with an unopened bottle of good wine, when the fire alarm went off. I'd grabbed the wine bottle and streamed out of the bar with the other customers. It turned out to be a bad fire; the whole building burned down, altho...

Immortality is over-rated, you'll get bored, you'll live alone. These are the weary sayings of nay-sayers saying whatever wearisome thing crosses their worrying minds. They are wrong of course See time heals all wounds and when you've unlimited amounts of it you can solve any problem no matter how large or small it ...

Seeds. Weeds. Harvest. Seeds. Weeds. Harvest. It had been five years since the world ended. Right up until the last person, I wouldn't have believed it could happen. People weren't as resilient as I believed they were, even with all that fancy technology. I turn the wheel, the mill starts grinding. I should ha...

He finds her laying there. In a congealed mass of all of the things he has lost over his years, and the one thing he thinks is why did he hadn’t expect this sooner. Their relationship had long since grown into something that used to would have been called unhealthy when there was other to determine these things. He ho...

It happened at last. I am the last human on earth everyone else has passed away. About time too. No longer will I have to watch all my friends get old and die. No longer will I have a relationship that can't last more than 10 years because one I tell the women my secret they decide they can't handle being with someon...

I looked down at the grave of my love. True there were those who came before her, my longevity allowed me to love many, but I have learned that one can love again. I do not feel I have betrayed any of my lovers. Each of them received the fullest extent of my love for as long as they lived, well beyond their years ev...

The forests were silent that day. The trees stood there, like any other day, their branches moving gently across the waves of wind. The Man had always liked trees, but as time moved on, his love grew. The trees were bigger now. No longer was the course of nature changed by the stain that the humans called civilisation....

Ellen died today. I buried her next to the rest of them, on the estate, but I feel so at a loss with everything. She was my first love, I think... Maybe it was Beth actually... I wonder how she is now, probably doing something important like saving the world or something. I could never keep up with her. Especially now ...

Mary had amassed great wealth. It's an easy thing to do over time. Not as easy as amassing great debt, and it had taken her 300 years to understand interest. Foolish. She sat back and watched the world burn. Greedy people never think about the next generation, and they slowly killed the world. Millions of species, dead...

The threat of the Undead was real when I met Azra'el. I was a young man, scared of my own mortality. Azra'el gave me the opportunity to change all of that. To live into the ages, untouched by Death. My father had been taken by the Sickness, and my mother had fled to save herself. I was alone. With nowhere to go, ...
