[WP] Day 759 of the slow zombie invasion, a helicopter gunship tore up some zombies. I waved at it but i don't know if the pilot saw me.
It had been difficult living alone, but I managed it. Day by day, ever since the start of the apocalypse I would survive on my own scavenging from the streets and raiding any buildings I could find. In the two years it had been since the turn the amount of people I saw every day slowly decreased. After a little more th...

The problem wasn’t the people; people are big and full of weaknesses, and once they’re slowed, they’re not that hard to kill. The real problem was the rodents. Rats, squirrels, weasels, mice. Those little fuckers are the ones that really spread it quickly, and those little shits are the ones who really brought everythi...

Regardless I can't let them in. My strategy was simple, take them by surprise. With on swift motion, I broke down the door leading to the ga...

The merger was interesting, and not entirely bloodless. There was a quick and brutal conflict between the Oompa Loompas and the Turrets, before the newly 'born' GLaDOS Wonka put a stop to that. With edible science, there was only one thing of which Chell was certain. The cake is not a lie.

[WP] Tell us the story of Twitch plays Pokemon
Rogue lay in bed face up, curled in a ball underneath his sheets. His body trembled from the top-down, trapped somewhat by the masking tape used to fix him into this position. The doctors said that his condition was incurable, and that he should be euthanized to spare him the pain. But his mother rejected this, insisti...

[WP] A time traveler appears in front of a child and kills it, claiming with irrefutable evidence that it would have grown up to commit horrible acts. Describe the court case that follows
"Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?" He tentatively nodded. No matter what he said, he knew they wouldn't understand. You see, his name is Brian Gale who came from a world not too far away. Not in respect to space, but rather in respect to time. Time travel was finally made possible in 2099 due ...

Well, in the US we don't punish future crime, because this isn't some shitty sci-fi movie. You killed an innocent kid. You're sentenced to [sentence varies depending on jurisdiction].

*I’m sorry for playing fast and loose with the prompt – the image that came to mind was from before the trial. Anyway, 900 words.* Alberto had spent two hours with the delusional murderer. As district attorney he had spoken with a lot of hard cases. This one was just weird. A case more for the psychiatrists than the l...

The case wouldn't leave the news. The scientific and metaphysical questions were boundless but the questions in the news were largely irrelevant. One reporter wanted to know what would happen with Justin Bieber's impending charges, they would give updates as they received them. It was easy to see that someone on high w...

[WP] A trained assassin's final mission is to kill her husband. What does she do?
I hear him enter through the back door, "Honey, you in?" He takes a moment to let down his bag and receive a response, hearing nothing he heads to the bedroom. After a minute or two he emerges, freed from his tie and shiny shoes he makes his way to the bathroom. The stage is set, I am ready. For the last 2 ...

[WP] A trained assassin's final mission is to kill her husband. What does she do?
Diana dared to put a little skip in her step as she headed to the park to recieve her final orders. She'd been embedded in this hellhole of a country for 10 months, and she'd been on this assignment for even longer. It had all started two years ago when she'd been assigned to seduce a diplomat, so that she could get ac...

[WP] A trained assassin's final mission is to kill her husband. What does she do?
From across the room, the blocky, red numbers changed. *3:57*. Nearly 4 in the morning. She should have been asleep already, and almost any other night, she already would have been unconscious, wrapped in her husband's arms. Her husband. She twisted her engagement ring, the stone catching on the space between her f...

Hey, would you mind if I told /r/cyberpunk about this? I'm sure there would be a few of them that would enjoy reading sci-fi all day long. They aren't allowed to vote, so they can't really botch anything, right?

So, at 7500 words per entry, this contest alone generated a *minimum* of 540,000 words. That's pretty astounding. Would anyone be interested in counting all the words and getting an absolute number? With one other person we could divide the entries in half and use an online word counter to get a more exact figure. ...

I've started to read through them and intend to leave detailed feedback for everyone. Question, though -- I've been leaving the feedback on the individual pages for each story, not here. Should it be here, instead? I was wondering about whether my comments would influence others' reads of the stories. EDIT: ooh, first...

I've skimmed them and the story 'Immortal Game' by /u/Brad_Collins really appealed to me, and I'm voting for it. Maybe it's the genre, maybe it's the subject, maybe it's the writing - but I enjoyed it.
