[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | He saw her ahead, a block down the street. Blonde hair in the wind, boots on her feet. She faced the road as the bus turned the corner, bystanders breaking as waves upon her. The great metal giant came to a stop, opened its doors and let the maiden walk atop. As her foot reached the top of the great grimy stairs, the g... | 2 | 0 | 36 | 27,977 |

[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | It’s been months since the ember glow filled the soy fields. Momma hasn’t been home since the morning when the fire rains came. It’s hard to remember her face. It makes me cry. When I do, Grandpa Gerald opens the cellar doors, and we sit outside looking at the stars. There are so many more since the fires. The whole wo... | 3 | 0 | 36 | 27,979 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | There was a setting sun, blazing a fiery farewell across the treetops and the hills; of this, at least, I was aware, as my senses began to falter.
I knelt in the tall prairie grass, feeling the wind work its way through the thousands of whispering stems to my face. It was cool and hurried, as if it had more important... | 3 | 0 | 36 | 27,980 |

[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | "Relationships make things complicated," Scott said from across the table. "It's why I haven't banged that secretary yet." A couple of the guys, from either the accounting or legal team, laughed. I just felt really uncomfortable, I could tell Tim was uncomfortable as well. Neither of us said anything. Wasn't in our nat... | 1 | 0 | 36 | 27,982 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | It's funny, because it's such a simple concept: The biological clock. You get hungry at meal times, simple training. You break for the bathroom, precisely at 10:25AM EVERY morning. You know it's not just you, with the clock that is, because you see the same people, in the same places, every day, at the same time. ... | 1 | 0 | 36 | 27,983 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | That little bastard, I thought to myself. Usually, I would have wondered what the word meant - I just knew it meant something bad. But not now. I'm too mad. Not unhappy, not upset, not angry - *mad*.
I bought that eraser set a month ago. Mom wouldn't buy it for me. She said normal erasers are just fine, and if I wante... | 3 | 0 | 36 | 27,984 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | I knew it was gone when I woke up. Gasping for breath and feeling nauseous I looked at the cords attached to me. I tried to sit up, but that hurt like hell and the machine next to me hated it as well. So I gave up and fell back into white marshmallow heaven.
The doctor’s came in a little (or long?) while later. They ... | 2 | 0 | 36 | 27,985 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | ...and with that final click his destiny was waiting, ready to be delivered.
Here i stand, the ruined shadow of a former self cradling the cannon with which i am to exert my own personal brand of justice. I've spent the majority of the past few years desperately trying to figure out what that word meant to me, after a... | 1 | 0 | 36 | 27,986 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | *Wings*. That's what I named him. I even remember the first time I saw him, tumbling through the air. At the time, even I knew not what he was. What he'd become. *Dragon*. The word was ancient, echoing only through the soft whispers of The College Elders. Nobody had heard from these mythical beasts since The Third Age.... | 2 | 0 | 36 | 27,987 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | To the right the glow of town could just about be made out, an orange tinge leaking into the darkness. Above part of the moon gave a silvered colour to the car park. To the left the silhouette of a signpost welcoming visitors to the reserve. It was cold and the earlier rain had opened the thirsty plants leaving the air... | 2 | 0 | 36 | 27,988 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | Lou jerked the pull chain and the neon sign for La Chaudron de Sorcière flickered to life. They were already starting to draw an evening crowd, myself included. Being a back-alley bar in New Orleans wasn't the most accessible location in the world but convenient for other reasons. The trip was unavoidable. We all found... | 1 | 0 | 36 | 27,989 |
[FF] The Confrontation. (Contest) | The commercial for the ItTakesAVillage! crowd-sourced child rearing application shows a young woman caring a six month old baby [sic unwed teenage mother] and sitting down in the front of an airplane.

[WP] A foul artifact is powered by (an) imprisoned soul(s). Their punishment is justified. What is it, and who were they? | The soul. A gateway to the mind, and the body. Some say it unifies the body and mind, holding them together, until it withers away at death. This artifact, corrupted and powerful is powered by a soul. It is powered by a man with a gift. The man, at one point was a writer with a gift. He wrote stories with insane detail... | 3 | 0 | 11 | 27,991 |

[WP] A modern day version of a Greek myth. | "So Apollo and his boyfriend Hya were just, like, playing frisbee in the park, when all of the sudden, Hya's freak ex comes along and steals their frisbee! What the heck, right? I mean, Apollo knew that Hya had some past relationships with this chick, but he'd told Apollo that they were just for play. Apparently this g... | 12 | 0 | 45 | 27,993 |
[WP] A modern day version of a Greek myth. | Ever since the day I've been born I've been cursed. My life has never been something to envy. Since I was younger I've wished for some luck to come my way, and in fact, I think finally things are starting to work out. I'm on my way to wall street, going to live out the rest of my life in a huge fortune.
Hopefully.

[WP] A modern day version of a Greek myth. | She was a stutterer. She had always been, and the less she knew about someone, the more nervous she was, the worse it was. And of course that meant *him*. She could not speak to him, no matter what. Not when he was still healthy, before the mirrors got him. All the girls had been after him, of course she could not have... | 11 | 0 | 45 | 27,996 |

[WP] A modern day version of a Greek myth. | As my lawyer took his seat in the dimly lit room, I could not help but think back on the events of the last few days. I went from loser, to the cool kid and then somehow got caught up in the biggest fight our school has ever seen.
It began innocently enough with a party. The popular kids were throwing a huge Mardi Gra... | 1 | 0 | 45 | 27,998 |
[WP] A modern day version of a Greek myth. | Arachne was sitting down, just surfing the web and doing a bit of coding. Man they didn't pay her enough for this stupid shit, so why spend all of her time on it. Didn't matter though, her code was simply the most elegant and best for the situation. What did they care if she took 8 hours to write ten lines of astoundin... | 1 | 0 | 45 | 27,999 |
