[WP] A Roman gladiator experiences his first victory. | And then his eyes.
And then the killing blow.
And then the crowd cheers.
I look down
My bloody hands
I killed a man.
I look up
The crowd loves me.
I look down
How could something
So horrible
feel so exhilarating.
I look up
I'm not a murderer!
I’m an entertainer.
And my audience loves me.
I smile

chunks of heartbreak
gristle toughened
in a broth of joy
so light

[WP] Everyone in the world is turned into different types of soup based on their personality. | The human race is not having a good day. I don't agree with what we're doing to them but hey, what's a small Narfinng going to say to the Elders? Absolutely nothing, that's what. The Narfinng are a proud race and as such, we conquer other planets. That was all fine and dandy for me until just the other day.

[WP] Satan addresses the UN on the topic of inalienable human rights. | "It is a common misconception that I reside in Hell." Lucifer smiled and scanned the auditorium with cold, unblinking eyes. The confident emissaries of nations were shifting in their seats. Few met the sweeping gaze that held them in its grasp.

[WP] Satan addresses the UN on the topic of inalienable human rights. | The general assembly whispered and clamored and mumbled to one another. The Devil was scheduled to speak. They thought it ridiculous. What if this "devil" was a poser, a fraud, a filmmaker with a hidden camera to record and expose the naivete and stupidity of the UN Assembly?

[WP] Satan addresses the UN on the topic of inalienable human rights. | Inside the assembly hall the delegates could taste the tension in the air, it was their bodies reacting to the pheromones of fear and stress they were each emitting.

[WP] A pharmaceutical company invents a pill for nostalgia. | An improbably polished looking woman sits on a rocking chair on a sunny porch.

[WP] A pharmaceutical company invents a pill for nostalgia. | It was the flavor that they struggled with, in the end.
They learned to bottle artificial warmth, to synthesize sweat, to replicate a tingling just behind the knees. But the flavor gave them hell.

The old friend in high school who skipped out of town,
The dumb jokes he made when you were feeling down.

[WP] A pharmaceutical company invents a pill for nostalgia. | She asked him if it was okay she left. He tries to change his answer. But its always the same. She gives him one last hug and she leaves.
He wakes up. Takes another pill. Gets ready to dream again. This time itll be different he says. The almost empty bottle of pills says otherwise. | 1 | 0 | 17 | 23,787 |
[EU] Half of humanity is leaving Earth as the sun is going to die. The other half can't afford to pay for the trip. | The park was empty - even the spirit of the place was gone.

She was alone in the park as she walked across the field towards the playground. Her tight r... | 3 | 0 | 3 | 23,788 |
[CW] "There are more of them than I can count. I can't go back, but I don't know what's ahead of me." | The chains are heavy, digging into my skin, my fingers nearly numb from the weight as I do my best to feel along the wall, doing all I can not to collapse. The air is stale, suffocating, the taste of something foul lingering in it. Why did I think this was the best option?
No, this was the only option.

[CW] "There are more of them than I can count. I can't go back, but I don't know what's ahead of me." | It started simply. A black speck on a white table, meandering slowly to the corner. A casual twist of the thumb, and the black speck becomes nothing.
A minute later, two specks tease my peripheral vision. Marching in solidarity for their fallen comrade, they seem more purposeful, driven, occasionally appearing to comm... | 2 | 0 | 5 | 23,790 |
