[WP] Make a insignificant daily activity sound like something epic
I had to do it! If I didn't, nobody would. My life was at stake here! And my kids? Who would take care of them if I died? Sure, I could maybe wait a little longer, but no, there is no reason to procrastinate something like this! They were hungry, ready to destroy everything into bits! And I had to face it! I had to pl...

[WP] Make a insignificant daily activity sound like something epic
The moment had come. I reached eagerly for the elongated handled pink brush standing upright in the blue fish decorated cup, sitting next to the sink. I gave a large smile towards the mirror as I twisted the tap on for a moment to dash my brush under the cool water emanating from it. With the tap water off now, I appli...

[WP] World leaders convene to discuss the threat of an imminent invasion, but the meeting slowly devolves into petty bickering.
"Our scientists have already confirmed it. Three motherships, as big as London are in our asteroid belt and closing in on Earth fast. We have already launched some of our prototype interplanetary gunships loaded with Nuclear warheads to their position. It may be futile but they also might not suspect us of being capabl...

[WP] In a world where forced exposure to a room of silence (anechoic chamber) is a form of torture, one prisoner is uniquely able to thrive in the quiet conditions.
I refused to talk. I truly, *desperately* wanted to talk though, after they ripped the nails from my fingers and toes. I was just about ready to scream when they wrapped my face with clingfilm and poured water over me. But I couldn't talk. There were too many voices in my head already, all collectively saying "don't yo...

[WP] In a world where forced exposure to a room of silence (anechoic chamber) is a form of torture, one prisoner is uniquely able to thrive in the quiet conditions.
All my life, I’ve been the exception to the rule. Doctors told my parents I wouldn’t last a week – “He’s just not strong enough,” they said, heads bowed, mouths emotionless lines – and they couldn’t have been more wrong. I’d bet most of them are gone now, behind bars or beneath the ground. Serves them right for now ...

[IP] "It stared at me, with its white glowing eyes..."
It stared at me, with its white glowing eyes piercing through the gloom. Calmly, quietly, I unslung the pack from my shoulders and lay it down in front of me. I heard the skitter of a hundred tiny feet retreating in to the darkness. At the same time, the trees of the ancient wood seemed to lean closer in to see. T...

The dark sky loomed over a thick forest. So thick birds often had to jump branch to branch all the way up just to fly away, rather than flying upward. So thick, the forest sounds can barely penetrated the thick leaves. Among the crickets chirping gleefully, among the cooing of the nightly owls, lies a whimper. A man w...

[IP] Banzai!!!!
I will leap swiftly into the drink And go, as far as I might, until My heart is heavy, and my limbs tremble. Then I'll watch and taste and smell The vastness I am part of, the cold that has drawn me into it. And I will know joy.

[WP] You are a pirate who's tormented spirit has been attached to your sunken ship for hundreds of years. One day the ship is salvaged by National Geographic.
"A fine vessel she was, the Cutlass. Terror of the East Indies during its heyday. I remember those days of plunder and villainy with a fond eye. We used to pillage the living daylights out of the Dutch and French Galleons that sailed the seas between Indonesia and Pondicherry. Made quite a bit of coin out of it as well...

[WP] You are a pirate who's tormented spirit has been attached to your sunken ship for hundreds of years. One day the ship is salvaged by National Geographic.
The water gushed from the wreckage, a pig with it's throat cut. As the cranes strained and the old rotting, decomposing wood screamed, there came a pause. A quietness settled over the crew. An eye of the storm, tumultuously the walls collapsed in on it. The screams started with an abrupt symphony of shrieks and yells, ...

[WP] You're the character, write your author
I am not going anywhere. We both know it. You think it's a writer's block, you think you are out of ideas. Standing in the middle of this frozen chaos, I know the truth. I realise there is nothing you can do without my consent. The palace is overrun with the rebels, royal guard and terrified noblemen, there are pirate...

**Chapter 4: The Return of Red Micheal** I haven't been here in ages. The familiar scents of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, sugar and coffee wafted under my nose. The booth seat I had been warming for the past 3 hours was starting to get uncomfortable in all of the bad memories. I don't know why I felt like coming here toda...

-----*Show, don’t tell, they say. Your dialogue needs work. Just grind it out. You can do it, just keep practicing. You know it’s all true. I can see that. I can also see the pain in you, Ian. I can see how much you want to do this, but it’s hurting you. You dredge your mind, searching for inspiration, and it comes – b...

[WP] A woman (or man!) approaches you and asks for your hand in marriage. You answer, taking into careful consideration the wings on her back.
The moment right before your boyfriend proposes marriage goes in slow motion. The nervousness in his face is washed away from adrenaline as he stoops down and holds out a shiny box. The passerby crook their necks with curiosity. The skywriter finishes the punctuation on the all important question he was scrawling on a...

Muriel proposed today. To me. _Me_. A Dominion. A former commander of the Divine Host. Proposing to mere, lowly _me_. I feel disgusted. No-- not by her! Never by her. By my silence. By my eyes going towards her wings. I did not lie when I said I need time to think, and though she hid it well, I know it cost her. I tha...

I would love to write one about How I Met Your Mother, but there aren't really any villains and I hate the main character anyway!

I used to be a church going man. Not many churches left anymore. For the last year or so, I've been struggling to find God in the world around me. But I'll tell you, He hasn't made it easy for me. I know I'm not the last person left on Earth. Groups of survivors pass through this town every now and then. Anothe...

He never noticed how beautiful the colour purple was. There seemed to be more shades of it, and turquoise proudly paraded itself around town in the form of cars and children's schoolbags. Although, yellow was more subdued; uniform. To his left, a yellow person was ejected from his car as coughed its way towards a le...

[I've been in this cell for two days. Battered and sputtering blood. They stared at me with contempt. Fear. Anger. They believe I'm the embodiment of all that had wronged them.] "I'm not going to ask you again." she spoke dryly. "How did you get on our *ship*!" [With each strike I questioned my appeal to these charac...

Panic drowned my entire body and made uncomfortable, nauseous waves flip and frolic in my stomach. I watched as the four women crowded the bay window, and gingerly peeked outside from the frankly hideous mellowing yellow curtains – but it wasn’t really a good time to be critiquing Barbara du Prez’s interior design choi...
