The underbrush and other vegetation abruptly ceased, and I crawled out of it to find a camp of some sort, inhabited by many variety of man, from th...

Certainly, there is something about this area that draws a combination of disgust and admiration. The frequents do not appear to be well educated and the comments... they are truly something else.

I had thought that my experience had prepared me for this day. I had hunted lions on the savannah, shot bison on the plains, and even conquered the mighty rhinoceros. But there was nothing that could have prepared me for what was to come. At first, much to my chagrin, I blacked out. What I had seen was too horrible ...

[WP]We've all heard about the cryptozoologists, but what of the drastically small number of cryptobotanists? What supernatural plants have they found?
"It's called a Hover-bush," she said, absolutely beaming. "A Hover-bush?" replied the department chair, flatly. The bush before him, roughly three feet wide by two and a half feet tall, did indeed appear to be hovering, "so why does it do this? Why does it hover?" "I have no idea!" the undergrad shrugged, "but it's p...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
As she opened her eyelids, a rush of fresh air and exhaust fumes filled her lungs. Marie Ellington spent her entire life laying her eyes on the world's most magnificent sights, but now, she mostly relied on memories to experience anything positive. If she closed her eyes long enough, she could almost recreate the smell...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
Sitting on the cramped little bus sent an uneasy tingle through her body. She spun the brim of her fedora around, glancing around uneasily. The setting sun was batted off of her azure eyes as she recited a hymn from church. The people around her held wearied expressions, caked and adorned with the grit of a hard day’s ...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
She clutched her purse as she stepped on the bus. She made sure the card she fingered nervously in her hands was pointed down, facing her, like the video she and her son had studied beforehand. The bus driver sensed her discomfort and gave her a forced smile. She tilted her head up as the swipe went through on the f...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
Elanore hobbled up to the stop for the first time in her life. "I'll show him," she thought, as she held back a smile. "I am an independent woman and he should have known I would be fine without him. He was always worried about what I would do without him, but I can get on just fine." She swallowed the nervous lump in ...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
Her high heels clicked down the sidewalk as she came to a stop in front of her new form of transport for the day, the bus. She unzipped her ridiculously expensive Louis Vuitton and pulled out a parliament, lighting it up and balancing it between her delicate, manicured fingers. Almost as if the universe was doing it on...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
A stale old lady she was, at least 70. It was a bright & fresh morning, not even 9am yet. Her bright green eyes glistened with the reflection of the morning sun. As she stood at the bus stop, a tear rolled down her face. The faint roar of the approaching bus made her heart beat a little faster with each following s...

[WP] An older wealthy woman takes the city bus for the first time.
And there, I see them. Broad daylight, both hands with fingers intertwined, electricity sparking between their eyes. Tourists and locals on their lunch break alike, scurrying about Market St., not realizing the sins occurring right before them. What could I now make of the vows we had taken twenty-eight years ago, in e...

[WP] Tell me a story about a man with the Midas Touch in the modern day.
"Damnit!" Ever since he woke up that one day 2 weeks ago with the ability to turn any object to gold with his touch, Bobbert had been dealing with the problems that came with that. This time, he forgot to put his glove on before petting his dog. It was one thing if he could actually profit off of all this gold, but ...

[WP] Tell me a story about a man with the Midas Touch in the modern day.
Some guys kill for money. Some guys kill for love. Some guys kill out of anger, and some kill 'cause they're sick. Either way, when shit hits the fan and someone doesn't wake up, it's the detective's job to figure out what category the killer belongs in, along with who he is and where he went, so the police can throw t...

The genie raised a smoky eyebrow. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" "You deaf? I said I want everything I touch to turn to gold," Bill said, rapping his knuckles against the lamp. "I read it in a book once. It was fuckin' sweet." "I think you may have forgotten some of the details of that story..." Bill made a fart...

[WP] Tell me a story about a man with the Midas Touch in the modern day.
This was the final room for today's tour at Apple's production factory. As the others followed each other into the room, I noticed at the end of the corridor a heavy steel door that had forgotten to be closed. Out of curiosity, I broke from the tour and proceeded to enter the room. The huge concrete room was musty and ...

[WP] Person 1: "What is love?" Person 2: "If you have to ask, then you can't afford it."
“What is love?” It was an odd question, or rather an unexpected one, at least from Nicole anyway. “Oh baby, don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me no more.” I chuckled at my own brilliance as it certainly wasn’t every day that I could make reference to the greatest song ever written. A look of utmost confusion was sprawled acro...

[WP] The United States of America lost a nuclear war to a country the entire world least expected to attack. Describe the first day of the attack: Thanksgiving day, 2014z
I woke up on Thanksgiving Day to the most heartbreaking scene a young boy could imagine--not only were there no smells of thanksgiving feasting spreading through my house, but our TV wasn't working either, as it was picking up nothing but dead static. This meant that I would have to miss the Detroit Lions lose today......

*Testimony of Staff Sgt. Anthony Daly, US Air Force* NORAD is best known to most Americans for tracking Santa each Christmas, but the agency’s regular mission is quite serious: to detect America from aerial threats. It’s our first line of defense against a nuclear strike. Since the end of the Cold War, it’s been a dif...

President Obama stared at him intently, drumming his fingers on the table, waiting. You could cut the tension in the Situation Room with a dull butter knife. The leaders of the US armed forces sat around the large table sensing palpable anger rising from Obama, and became quiet. The Canadian ambassador to the United S...

I was normal once, years ago. I remember those times as stories someone else told me, like another's life or maybe in another life. I was flying an Albatros D.
