*"How about everyone under sixteen?" an old man cried. "They're always blasting their loud music and skating on the sidewalks!"*
*"What? Everyone over fifty-five will be dead within the next thirty or so years anyways!" a mother of two cried.*

[WP] "It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from here." | The world became chaotic and painful.
As nick woke up the florescent lights blinded him. The steady beeping clued him into what had happened before his daughter stepped in to tell him his car fishtailed on the slick spring road and landed on the drivers side by the town square. He'd been out a day while they patched ... | 3 | 0 | 10 | 20,378 |

[WP] Jack the Ripper is killed by vigilante prostitutes |
He always came for them in the night. His father, piss-drunk and rageful had always come for him after dark. The symmetry was pleasing. A flash of memory, his whore mother, crouching in the corning like a beaten animal, not doing anything. His fingers twitched about the blade, longing to lock around her throat. A chi... | 3 | 0 | 3 | 20,387 |
[WP] Don't quit your day job | "You want to do what?" his mother asked.
"I want to design custom cardboard boxes."
"How much does this sort of thing cost?" his sister asked.
"Well, I'll need about $10,000 to start."

"Well, Amazon, maybe. They ship a lot of stuff."

[WP] Don't quit your day job | Eric was just unloading his car, struggling with two grocery bags, when his phone started ringing. His sister, Elaine. That was weird, since she was supposed to be at home, and should have heard his car in the driveway. Maybe something happened. He left one of the bags on the ground and answered.
"Hey."

[WP] You don't speak. You don't gesture. Yet, they know your meaning. | I just stood there, looking into those eyes. No sound except for our breathing, no movement except for our chests. I stared right into their eyes, willed them to understand. We said everything we could. Our body language had been distorted by routine and comfort. No, they just need to know.

[WP] You don't speak. You don't gesture. Yet, they know your meaning. | My family had just left, looking broken. I had screamed and shouted, and they hadn't caught a word of it, because no words were said by me. All they talked about was how it was going to get better, how healing is a process, and one that could take weeks, months even, but that we would pull through together.

[WP] A Mermaid stole your kiss and you must now be together. You can't swim, eat fish nor seafood. How goes the marriage? | She dragged me over the side of the boat
As I leant close to see her swim
She pulled me into the blue green depths
Sharing a kiss so that I might live
Foreign sands and blooming weeds
Grew there down below
As she and I were wed together
Beneath the rolling waves
But I am a man of two legs
And she a g... | 6 | 0 | 7 | 20,398 |
[WP] A Mermaid stole your kiss and you must now be together. You can't swim, eat fish nor seafood. How goes the marriage? | There are rules, and we were fools. But we loved, and were wed, and there was no going back. I can touch my bride and she can touch me back, but it can be only ever so brief, for she cannot long breathe where I can, nor I where she.
There are rules, and we have been fools. But we loved, and we persevered. Many a day I... | 4 | 0 | 7 | 20,399 |
