[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | "Your wallet and phone! C'mon, hurry!" The rag over the man's mouth muffled his voice, clasped in both hands was a revolver.
"No."
He stood there, staring at me for a moment. "What do you 'no'? You can't just say no, I'm robbing you!"
"Well, I did, what are you going to do about it?" I said with a shrug.

[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | I stood on a small bridge in the dark night. The street lights were hazy; glare-like fuzz emerged around the light points. I couldn’t see the end of the block I was on as it blurred out to gray. I tapped my feet rhythmic, closing my eyes to listen to the echoes. I sighed, and leaned against the stone brick fencing, lis... | 12 | 0 | 99 | 18,274 |
[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | Her hands weren't shaking and she knew why. She felt the cold steel of the tracks on her knees below her, and the steel of the barrel of a gun that was pressed to the back of her head. She had been waiting for this moment for as long as she could remember.
Every day, she would walk to the train tracks and watch the tr... | 3 | 0 | 99 | 18,275 |
[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | Hands shaking. Sweat dripping. Fingers on the trigger. This isn't what I wanted, but what choice did I have?
I aimed the gun at him and bellowed " Give me your wallet now! No one has to get hurt!"
The man seemed aloof, distant. He looked up into my eyes and I looked into his; I saw nothingness, darkness. But the thin... | 31 | 0 | 99 | 18,276 |
[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | It felt right. It felt like it belonged there. Like a puzzle piece that had been picked up repeatedly, examined time and then set aside, until the last time, when it fell into place and it became apparent that it belonged there the whole time.

[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | Metallic and cold, the business end of the gun stared at her with its one eye as if scrutinizing every rise and fall of her chest and every flutter of her lashes. It was the cold gaze of the gun that phased her out of her surprise rather than the voice behind it requesting, or rather demanding, her money and valuables ... | 3 | 0 | 99 | 18,278 |
[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | "GIVE ME YOUR MONEY AND YOUR PHONE" yelled the thief. "no" the man responded... "WHAT MOTHERFUCKER" the thief exclaimed. "I said no". The thief took started firing, emptying the pistols magazine into the man.

[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | I stood on the precipice of the bridge, my final letter in a shirt pocket.

Although, what would it matter if I was cold, I wouldn't be catching a sickness anymore. My shoulders slumped as I ... | 1 | 0 | 99 | 18,280 |

[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | Wearing a loose black hoodie, black sweatpants, and a matching pair of sneakers, he walked silently across the street, trailing a man as he entered a dimly lit alley, fingers clenched tightly on the grip of a pistol.

[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | Allan stood at the top of the bridge. He held his wedding ring in his hand. He had always known his fiance was an unfaithful whore, but he didn't want to believe it. Alas, he was forced to believe it when he walked in on her bobbing up and down on the "best" man.
Now here he stood at the top of this bridge, ... | 2 | 0 | 99 | 18,286 |
[WP] A suicidal person is robbed by someone at gunpoint. What happens? | The thing about home invasions is that they're so rude. One can spend hours making a house into a reflection of themselves, and then a burglar can ruin that peace with one well-placed kick. That's what disturbs me about break-ins, the destabilization of sanctuary.

The tuna's voice played over and over again in Leo's head.

[WP] It is one week after everyone in the world suddenly and inexplicably knows everyone. All the strangers you see across the street know you like your best friend does. How do you cope? How does society manage? | Human institutions fell one by one, and civilization simplified considerably.
Economics was cast aside. With perspective, humanity collectively realized that there was in fact, no shortage. There were limited resources, to be sure, but demand for those resources disappeared as universal empathy flowed through the vei... | 3 | 0 | 7 | 18,290 |

Noon. Three suns hang high in the sky above a desert world. Amidst gnarled trees and the skeletons of long-dead alien beasts, a single structure lie in the center of an ancient lake bed, an age-old oxygen filter for an underground settlement.
