[WP] As a young boy, he stole something. He then spent the rest of his life trying to return it. | The elderly scientist leaned down over his workbench, a deep sigh escaping his lips as he studied the faintly humming object in front of him just as he had many times before. Without averting his gaze he snapped his fingers to left, "Chandra," he mumbled in his distraction. The girl to his left looked up from her work,... | 1 | 0 | 39 | 25,878 |
[WP] As a young boy, he stole something. He then spent the rest of his life trying to return it. | A figure stands atop a tower of twisted rubble, silhouetted against the light of impossible suns. His quiet voice floats above the inhuman roaring of the winds.
“I saw quickly the error that I had made, my youthful innocence unmasked as ungrateful arrogance. The theft a challenge i masked in righteous my success a re... | 1 | 0 | 39 | 25,879 |
Two lovers find out they are siblings. | Timothy kissed Gina on the forehead before rolling over. He planted his feet on the ground and, staring out the dirty window in front of him, sighed. It had been a long year. He went to the window and bowed, saying his daily prayers and thanks. He didn't know if a god was out there, and after the disaster, he was even ... | 6 | 0 | 5 | 25,880 |

Two lovers find out they are siblings. | In the muck and swamp of southern Alabama, the two lovers sat, gazing into each other's eyes in bewilderment. "Cletus, I know we're only fourteen, but I wanna show you to mama, she'll take very kindly to ya!" Eunice told the entranced Cletus as he further gazed. Leaving the trance, the overall-adorned mechanic sto... | 1 | 0 | 5 | 25,882 |
Two lovers find out they are siblings. | "You have to leave," she said, her voice hushed so as not to wake the handmaidens through the thin walls. "*Now*."
"What, because they'll hear?" His voice was loud, too loud. It was if he *wanted* to be caught.
"No--" she nearly shouted it. "My *father* is returned. You do know who my father is?"
Yet still he held h... | 2 | 0 | 5 | 25,883 |
Two lovers find out they are siblings. | "Dad, you'll like Emily's mom. She's really sweet and kind and makes the most amazing cookies. Plus she's single..."
Martha's father chuckles softly. "Still trying to get me with someone are you? It's only been six years since your mother died. Ask me in four years and I might say yes to you acting as matchmaker. Thou... | 1 | 0 | 5 | 25,884 |
[WP] Work on this abstract prompt. | A metal pole of apprehension pierced the ER on Thursday, 23:07, when the Pharmacist shuffled in. Most nights he would storm about at the end of his shift, all broad shoulders, solid tones, and a frown that could destroy Iconel 625 - “that shit used in space,” quoth the Pharmacist. The Pharmacist was most certainly a m... | 2 | 0 | 6 | 25,885 |
[WP] Work on this abstract prompt. | There was nothing but "Forced levity isn't exactly helpful when it's in your own head, is it?". This too confused him. Looking up the definition of 'levity' was just as helpful as forced levity in one's own head. He continued to stare dumbly at the screen, re-reading the prompt, then the quote, then the prompt again, t... | 6 | 0 | 6 | 25,886 |
[EU] Re-write any scene from Frozen, but replace one of the characters with Samuel Jackson | "Elsa?" Anna said, knocking a tune one her sisters door. "Do you wanna build a snowmAaan?" She belted out loudly.
"I am sick of these motherfucking snowflakes coming out of my motherfucking hands! ", with that Anna's large, black, and very male sister burst out her door. "Where are you going Elsa?", Anna asked with her... | 20 | 0 | 19 | 25,887 |
[EU] Re-write any scene from Frozen, but replace one of the characters with Samuel Jackson | The snakes are on the motherfucking plane again, not a survivor to be seen.
Another shitty-ass sequel and it looks like I'm the King
Because God Forbid they give me a different role,
No I'm just the same dirty-mouthed black guy,
Don't let them in, don't let them see,
The alternative dancer I always wanted ... | 8 | 0 | 19 | 25,888 |

[WP] My cat, Dude, mysteriously disappeared a few nights ago (details inside). Tell me an uplifting story about what happened to him. | "Dude you cannot deny your destiny", the wise owl looked down at the tabby cat.
"You would not understand wildling!", Dude protested,"I have a human. A family. We are bound together!"
"Yes and now it is time to break away. You have a duty to perform! Staying with your humans will not save them from their fate! You mus... | 14 | 0 | 16 | 25,890 |
[WP] My cat, Dude, mysteriously disappeared a few nights ago (details inside). Tell me an uplifting story about what happened to him. | He stared out of the window and hoped. It was all he could do. He had no reason to hope really. But he hoped a lot.
Right now he hoped the rain would stop. It was safe to hope for such things as the weather. If you didn’t like it one day, all you had to do was wait. Eventually the weather changes. It isn’t always what... | 8 | 0 | 16 | 25,891 |
[WP] My cat, Dude, mysteriously disappeared a few nights ago (details inside). Tell me an uplifting story about what happened to him. | "Oh my gosh! Brad he's so cute! Can we keep him?!"
Brad looked at his mismatched, yet somehow perfect brood, said with a shrug and a laugh, "Sure. Anything you want, Angie."
And that is how Brad and Angelina completed their family. Sometimes you just have to make it yourself. :) | 2 | 0 | 16 | 25,892 |
[WP] My cat, Dude, mysteriously disappeared a few nights ago (details inside). Tell me an uplifting story about what happened to him. | The human twitched as I watched him. I think they can sometimes hear the higher-frequencies we're told they can't hear. That's why our communicators are set to beep in that annoying tone - so they can't hear it. I swear it's right on the edge of their hearing, though. I should get it, though - it's been a while since T... | 3 | 0 | 16 | 25,893 |
[WP] A soldier returns home from war, the only problem is that he was on the losing side. | Eugene sauntered among the heaps of stones and planks that once pieced together his childhood home. His old neighborhood half-stood in the half-light of the fading day. Smoke still hung in the air as it had and would continue to do for weeks. A faint burning smell wafted through his nostrils, stinging his already da... | 2 | 0 | 3 | 25,894 |
[WP] A soldier returns home from war, the only problem is that he was on the losing side. | I walked the streets, alone.
My light blue uniform, covered in the blood of my enemies and my allies, my red scarf tattered, my left eye full of shrapnel, I was misshapen, but that was not the reason for my people's dislike of me.
I am a failed soldier, I will go down in history as the villain, and yet I feel like t... | 2 | 0 | 3 | 25,895 |
[WP] A psychopath is collecting people to be characters in a story he wrote. He thinks he's found his protagonist. | *There she was.*
Long legs, wide hips. Fiery red hair. Full lips.
*So completely sexy.*
And just how he'd imagine her. He licked his lips, struggling to ignore the twitch at his crotch. *Not right now,* he thought. *Have to get to work.*
She was the last piece he needed. The perfect centerpiece to his Gothic horror... | 8 | 0 | 9 | 25,896 |
[WP] A psychopath is collecting people to be characters in a story he wrote. He thinks he's found his protagonist. | I almost dropped the coffee passed to me by the barista. It was unmistakeably Cadence.
I could barely believe it; I had sat whimpering at my laptop last night in pure anger and frustration and now here she was. It could only be a sign. Her skin was silk. Her hair was unkempt and *ugh* blonde, but the potential was th... | 2 | 0 | 9 | 25,897 |
[WP] A psychopath is collecting people to be characters in a story he wrote. He thinks he's found his protagonist. | Some people will go to such ridiculous lengths to get published.
Have you ever tried to get published? If you have, I’m sure you realize how degrading the experience can be; unless you’re very lucky, your heart gets transmogrified into dozens of rejection letters. “Maple Dog Blues” was the perfect short story, and co... | 2 | 0 | 9 | 25,898 |
[WP] A psychopath is collecting people to be characters in a story he wrote. He thinks he's found his protagonist. | He stared at her through his binoculars and sighed. She was perfect. Raven black hair, porcelain skin and always wore cherry lipstick. She was a ballet dancer, until she became too tall for the art. She was still as svelte and lithe as the best of them. She had a sweet smile and played a damn good damsel in distress, b... | 1 | 0 | 9 | 25,899 |
