"23, player busts!"
"Dealer has a straight flush. Better luck next time!"
It seemed the only one winning that night was the casino. Players were handing over so many chips that the staff had to schedule extra deposits throughout the night. Many usual high rollers had t... | 3 | 0 | 4 | 25,375 |

[WP] When humans reach the age of 50, they begin physically aging backwards until they reach infancy and subsequently perish. What's your story? | I may have missed it the first time around, but I'd learned my lesson. I wasn't going to sit around studying, working hard to get ahead. I'd done that already had had nothing to show for it now.
This time was different.
I was going to party like never before. Fast cars, hard drugs, and faster women. That was th... | 7 | 0 | 5 | 25,378 |
[WP] When humans reach the age of 50, they begin physically aging backwards until they reach infancy and subsequently perish. What's your story? | "Whiskey, neat."
"Can I see your ID?"
"My ID? Jesus, I can't remember the last time I was carded."
"Sorry, owner's policy. Oh, Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks. Let me give you some advice, kid. Don't get old."
"But it must be nice to start feeling stronger and more energetic again?"

[WP] When humans reach the age of 50, they begin physically aging backwards until they reach infancy and subsequently perish. What's your story? | Hi. My name is Joey. I'm eighty-one years old and seven months and I have a brother named David and a son who is also Joey. Do you like school? I don't like school because I had to work in one for years and years and years and years. I cleaned up things.
I don't like cleaning but the school didn't mind me crying so I ... | 2 | 0 | 5 | 25,380 |

[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | We were bored that day and new to the area. We aren't exactly history buffs, but we decided to visit George Washington's birthplace. I don't know why. I guess just to say that we that we did it. Right from the start, it was a strange trip. After driving for about 45 minutes through the emptiness that is the northern ne... | 3 | 0 | 19 | 25,382 |
[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | Abby was in a garden. She wasn't quite sure how she'd got there. She guessed she must have taken the wrong turn after getting on the bus after school. Or had she even got on the bus? She frowned, but her memory was a little foggy. She'd been talking to someone, hadn't she? In front of her stretched a rolling hill of ye... | 8 | 0 | 19 | 25,383 |

[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | I saw him there from a distance before the crowd started to gather. Me? I was on a park bench in the middle of Hanoi having a cigarette soaking in the sights, the sounds, the vibrations of this city that seems so alive with character. A city bustling with hopes, dreams, past hardships, and a supposedly bright economic... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,386 |
[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | "Car crash.." I spoke quietly to myself as I walked to the morgue, shaking my head, "Poor girl." I stepped into the large, cold room in which a stretcher was already prepared with the body. I gripped the cold metal and began pushing it down the long corridors, and into the beautician's room, other wise.. My work place.... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,387 |
[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | Matsumoto looked over the forest with anxiety. He held firmly in his hands a folded paper with writings all over. Dated 1701, the title addressed to Matsumoto himself. The hill he stood on was a well traveled path under the new Shogun's rule and was under construction, leading to Tokyo.
The wind moved through the gras... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,388 |
[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | Even her breathing made no sound as she sat on the bed next to the window. The drawn shades shrouded the room in an appropriate darkness, the only light coming from the green line on the heart beat monitor. The fluorescent lights were too harsh, she said. The hallway light thrust a menacing dark shadow on the tile in f... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,389 |

"She's a real mess, Mr. Bisnik. The car that hit her, tore her nearly in half." Paul said.
"And, the family's request?" The funeral director inquired.
"Open casket if at all possible." Paul answered.
Mr. Bisnik unzipped the body bag the coroner sent over. He blew and exhausted sigh. "They dream the impossible,... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,390 |

[WP] Things that are dead can still be considered beautiful | The red flower bloomed on his chest, staining the plain white t-shirt that barely covered his tattoos. The flower opened slowly as the blood pooled from the wound that drilled straight through his heart.
I watched, hypnotized. The cold steel of the .40 burnt my hands, and I let it drop to the floor. His face, moments... | 2 | 0 | 19 | 25,392 |

[WP] Hero faces his/her final epic battle, only to discover he/she has no reason to fight anymore. | The battle wasn't your obvious one - I don't have a sword. There is no armour on my comrades, no shields or pledges of honour. Nah, they don't do that kind of thing in hospitals - I guess they're not funded enough.
I've been fighting for longer than your average warrior, though. Five years, on and off, and it al... | 7 | 0 | 15 | 25,395 |
[WP] Hero faces his/her final epic battle, only to discover he/she has no reason to fight anymore. | Martin woke up that day. It was the same shitty day he was always coldly welcomed to. The same grey sky, the same breakfast, the same commute and the same people to deal with - everything was the same for so long and everything became a blur. It's hard to distinguish days when the same talkative woman whose name escape... | 1 | 0 | 15 | 25,396 |

[WP] Hero faces his/her final epic battle, only to discover he/she has no reason to fight anymore. | Under a daunting red sky, I sat upon my white horse, perched over a bluff, looking over the final objective; what we traveled from Carthage to ravage. Elise. Men rested against the rocky walls of the pass behind me, armor scorched and rusted, our swords ever so dull, our dented shields and our bows unstrung, and our ar... | 1 | 0 | 15 | 25,398 |
[WP] Hero faces his/her final epic battle, only to discover he/she has no reason to fight anymore. | I've been waiting for this moment forever, it seems. For the past twenty years, in a self-imposed exile from human civilization, training my body, my mind, my spirit, with nothing but bruises and my own vengeful thoughts for companionship. And now my day of victory is here. I will return to my kingdom, which was rip... | 2 | 0 | 15 | 25,399 |
