[WP] You wake up in front of your computer. There’s an open word document you don’t remember writing.	The weight of my eyelids was almost too heavy to overcome, but I did it. My eyes were exposed to parched air of my room. They were dry and blurry; it took several seconds of blinking and rubbing to re-adjust them to being open once again. As I recollected my tired mind, I noticed that I was still at my computer. I ...	5	11	18,702
[WP] You wake up in front of your computer. There’s an open word document you don’t remember writing.	I lifted my head slowly. There was a sweaty imprint on the desk where it had been. My eyes struggled to open and as I tried to look at the computer screen in front of me I felt a slight draft at the back of my neck. Squinting in the light I wondered how long I had been asleep. My curtains had not been drawn the previou...	1	11	18,703

[WP] We the people, the majority of the USA, decide the government has overstepped its line and "The New Revolution" begins in 2014. Write a story about what's happening.	It started off with a bang, but we quickly saw the problem with our actions. "We the people"? Were we serious? With the failure of the Occupy Movement, we knew we needed a leading organization, a Congress that would actually get things done. True anarchy couldn't win if corrupt democracy had the upper hand.

Shortly after dying, you wake up as a newborn just now departing the womb. As the days pass, memories from your previous life begin disappearing. [WP]	The novelty wore off after a while. There is only so much time I could not cry my lungs out and be studied and lauded for it. Never kept my mother up at nights, a good boy they called me. Too good of a boy, even.

[WP]	My eyes are still clenched shut with terror as I feel warmth leave my body. I figure it is the last thing I will feel.
