It was time to leave; the car that he had driven into an alleyway with his fastened homemade timer had gone off before he entered the church. The police had to have cleared the streets of pedestrians by now; witnesses were unnecessary clean up that just got in the way. Joffery straightened his suit, checking for bloo...

I stumble out of the back of the plane with the last impact, and my dance partner is already running at me, fire in her eyes. Oh, shit. I need a new career. She punches me. I feel wind whip past my ears and my body twist. I smash through the air terminal's tower and it collapses on me. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. I just need a mo...

Natural Law They don't teach you how to fight in mage school so I had to think fast. I ran down the street knocking trash cans over in my wake, hoping to delay my pursuers. Ducking in a nearby alley I pulled out my whiskey flask. I took of the top and drank. All of it. The mana burned as it went down my throat. You w...

[Prompt Inspired] The Musical Apocalypse
PART 2 It was late. I made my way down the street, confused and hungry. In the distance, down Topeka's avenues, there were men and women shuffling and dancing in place, including the odd "Horse Dance" that was all over the Internet about a month before my coma. A loud clang. Spotlights shine on me. A man stands in ...

I didn't know what to do. How could this even *not* go wrong? I decided to trust him, because, frankly, I loved him. Sometimes you just need to believe in something, in someone. I thought about the plans we had made together, especially our wedding. I really wanted it to happen, but it wasn't going to. This was my ti...

[OT/META] Hey WritingPrompts, I'm PromptStory and you're my New Year's Resolution!
I'll support you. If you write well, I'll follow you. This is a fantastic resolution and it takes courage to make a promise like this for yourself(and others). Keep strong. You will do it. You just have to *do* it.

PromptStory walked through the door, pushing the swinging doors of the saloon wide. All conversation stopped as they looked to the newcomer, deciding on what his entrance meant to them. The piano player stopped playing, and gawked with the rest. The bartender pulled on his curly mustache, twisting the ends up out of ha...

Welcome to the club. I'm doing a similar thing. Check out /r/thehiddenbar for some of my work. I made a subreddit so if someone reads one of my stories, they have a central place to find more, but I ALWAYS link back to the prompt that inspired the piece. Kudos, XDisk

I'm doing something similar. * /u/pocket_universe * /r/pocket_universe I'm on break until the new year (so uh time to start writing again), but this year I'm going to be writing a prompt a day, most of them on that account. I wish you all the best in your story!

[WP] Its new years eve. 11:59. You lost your SO on Christmas. You don't want to drive home alone.
For the past week, I've been staring at my phone and wishing it would make some kind of noise. A text, phone call, I'd even take one of those damn annoying amber alert system messages. I can't stand the silence, I can't stand being in the dark. Your pictures still haunt me on Facebook. Your smile, the little dimple o...

**Coatroom Countdown** The clock on the bathroom wall has a small crack in it, right by the four. I know its there because I’ve spent the last who-knows-how-long staring at it. It beats going downstairs and having to face the rest of the party-guests. I don’t know ninety-nine percent of them, It’s what I get for bein...

[CC] College Essay - would greatly appreciate criticism - submission soon
>As I read that line out loud to my little sister I took a pause and realized that a simple line of Dr. Seuss resonates with me more than it ever did. You aren't really comparing how the line resonates with you to anything else. If you mean what I think, maybe say "resonates more with me now than ever before" or so...

[WP] The beauty behind your mundane
That glasses case. I've never used it, but it still sat there, still new looking. It's just been there, there are no glasses in it, but we still kept it. Just about to land in the garbage, it swung open and revealed something shiny. *It can't be much,* I thought, but curiosity got the best of me, and I grabbed it. The ...

Beginnings are terribly difficult simply because the word itself requires more consonants, vowels, and syllables than an ending. Kenji, he’s casting smoke rings into the air and making faces at the people who are walking by. Few stare, and even less make faces back, but most don't even see him. For hours, he has bee...

Together they work without complaint, though silently they pray in fear of the perpetual possibility that curious whiskers would give way to tiny white teeth and a tragic demise. A soft hum gives way to deep, throaty tones as the partners enter the shallow warmth where they belong. Ignored in presence and used like ch...

[WP]You're too tired to stay awake any longer. The problem is that everytime you fall sleep, you wake up in a completely different place with a different identity or sometimes just after you've commited a violent crime.

The first time it happened, I had no idea what was going on. I went from saying goodnight to my roommate, to floating through space. Something was wrong, I knew. My body felt different. "Commander, can you hear me!?" The lady sounded desperate, calling out for any answer. "Uh, hello?" "Oh, finally. Commander, stay ...

[WP] Write a goodbye letter to the last year, explaining why you're leaving it for the next year.
Dear 2013: Am I ever glad to see the ass end of you. My mother died, my cousin died, and a cousin's daughter died, all within six weeks. Then my dog died. And two days ago, my best friend's dad died. Those are just the kick-in-the face events from you, 2013. The other kick-in-the-ass things are far too numerous to...

I'm sorry, 2013. I must leave you. Don't contact me again. You won't be able to. I've realised that my time with you consisted of me being stuck in the past. I need to move on. You need to move on. I've found another year, and I can no longer be with you. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that I'll never ha...

[WP] Write a goodbye letter to the last year, explaining why you're leaving it for the next year.
Dear 2013: You were great. We had our good times, our bad. You helped me succeed and fail. You watched silently as I discovered more about who I am, than I imagined. You were a constant element, always with me. Through me finding out what I desire in a friend. The shattering loneliness of cutting off all the people yo...

Dear 2013, Our time together has come to an end. There were good times and bad, I appreciate it all. There are tons of memories with you that I will hold close to me for the rest of my life. However, at this point, I can't say that it would be beneficial to stay. I had certain interests/goals/hobbies and even a ce...

Dear 2013, Thanks for your time. You weren't as bad as I thought. You held my hand through good and bad, and pulled me from the slump 2012 left me in. You helped me realize my passion, make and reconnect with friends, regain my smile, and learn to enjoy the little things. Well, we both knew this was coming, and now it...

Dear 2013, It's over between us. Oh, don't even cry. You knew what this was. Come on, as many times as I said I'm 23... what, you thought you were my first? Here's the truth. I've been with some bad years, I mean, really rough times. You weren't the greatest. Don't give me those eyes---you know what you did. Still, y...

#001 (I've been drinking, and canoodling. It's 2:00am-ish Bear?Bare?with me.) Dear You, I'm not going to give you a name, or call you by what you are. If I do, I might have to accept what happened, be responsible. I might have to look back at what I've done, and I'd be filled with emotions. Mostly embarrassed, an...

[WP] Write a goodbye letter to the last year, explaining why you're leaving it for the next year.
Dear 2013, You started off great. I mean there was nothing too crazy going on, at first. But then things got a little weird, perhaps more off than weird. I think I tried to explain to you that my life needed more opportunities to be on my own. Independence is all I had in mind.... but you wouldn't give me that. I...
