[WP] A man falls in love with a woman who accidentally killed his dog. | We met when she killed my dog.
Her car had barely stopped before she jumped out and ran to The Dog, cursing the whole way. I watched from a distance, observing the way she moved in a jerking, sudden sort of motion. It must, I reasoned, be a result of her anger.
I didn't mind, really. While The Dog had been a good ... | 3 | 0 | 6 | 24,300 |
[WP] A man falls in love with a woman who accidentally killed his dog. | The man had walked past her house every morning, his droopy labrador plodding by his side.

Nothing. That's kind of the point.

[PI] THE LIBRARIAN OF SATURN'S GATE - FEB CONTEST | The biggest criticism that I can offer you is that this story takes way too long to get going.

At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | It was in many ways an unexpected party.
You might claim I had no right to be surprised. Indeed, anyone would be daft to find it unusual that the sun rises at dawn. Annual phenomenon should be no less predictable to someone of my eminent experience; I've met no equal on this front. So how could the passage of one mor... | 2 | 0 | 314 | 24,371 |
At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | Diary entry 328,500:
I told the baker to make me the largest birthday cake he has ever made; it only holds 781 candles. FML.

The voice rings in the back of my mind in a familiar synthetic tone. Perhaps familiar is not the right word. It is neither friendly nor supportive, and never replies to my questions - it just is. And it is this cold emotionless voice is the only tread that keeps me bound to reality. I... | 2 | 0 | 314 | 24,374 |
At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | Closing the fridge I carried my bottle into the living room, sat in my recliner, kicked back and opened the beer.
As I picked up the remote, turning on the TV, I sighed a satisfied whisper and smiled.

At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | I have lived for so many lifetimes, I have seen so many trials and tribulations.
I have seen those I love come and go, I have lived through some of Earth's lowest moments.
I stand here alone nearing another century past, but what have I got to show for it?

Dear NASA,
Some people fear me. Other people are fascinated by me. They call me a scientific miracle, a god, freak or an abomination. Cameras are always following me. I've grown angrier over the years. I just want to die. Is that so wrong? Every new day is ... | 3 | 0 | 314 | 24,377 |
At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | It's new year's eve. My granny stirs in her sleep but quickly calms down and breaths slowly and evenly.
I hold her tight. Her skin feels like cracked paper, dry and chipped. Feverishly warm. I can't sleep again.

[WP] | Eldon sat on the veranda staring at the waves rolling on to the beach.

[WP] | I get a few drinks, and I get a few reporters asking questions, but nothing much. It's an old story, really: Yep, still not dead. They eventually leave me be when they realize being not-dead is still not much of a story, and I have some quiet again.

At your 150th birthday you were suspicious. At 200 it was confirmed you could not die. It is now your 900th birthday and you are spending it alone. [WP] | The novelty had worn off around year 327.
The field trips stopped coming, the scientists had stopped prodding, and the government stopped knocking.
Which was, at first, a relief, but then - sad. The only friends a zoo animal has are the spectators, putting their fingers through the chain links.

“Pitter, Patter, Pitter, Patter..” The dreary sounds of the trickling of rain echoed through the hallway as you tear yet another page of the wall calendar revealing today’s date.

[FF] A day without electricity | Didn't fit through the upstairs window,
Now I'm stuck in a tree.
The ladder fell
When the cat startled me.
He was angry
I couldn't feed him.
I couldn't find the can opener
Without a candle
From the shed.
But *click*
Shit. It's locked!
Garage won't open.
Phone's dead.
Stuck, but I don't care.

[WP] Assignment; A Sunset (NON-FICTION only) | The lush oranges mixed like watercolors with vibrant reds, merging to create an aura surrounding a yellow orb tinged with titian.

[WP] Assignment; A Sunset (NON-FICTION only) | Last night was the first time I've watched the sun set in a very long time, and it was perfect.

[WP] Assignment; A Sunset (NON-FICTION only) | It was the warmest day in months. After a solid week in which the temperature barely rose above the mid-twenties, 50 degrees felt like a heat wave.

[WP] Assignment; A Sunset (NON-FICTION only) | The wind rips at the tiny bubble of warmth that hovers around my body. At 15,000 feet without a windproof jacket, I might as well be naked for all it's worth.

[WP] Assignment; A Sunset (NON-FICTION only) | The world burns, orange embracing the edges of every streak across the sky.

[WP] Somebody arduously struggles with a menial task or frustrating yet trivial event. | Jim squinted, set his jaw and began yet again the process that had been foiling him for his entire career as a parent.

[WP] A murderer/psychopath who kills people like the three wise monkeys. | I arrived at the crime scene just after 4pm. A family of three, just like the previous six murders.
