[WP]A few centuries after their last visit, aliens travel to Earth again to observe the planet from their space ship. Upon closer inspection they notice something horrible that our species is completely oblivious to.
"Their core? I mean, they have a core that's entirely made of this?" "No, I mean, it's gradual..." "Yes of course, but, at the end, what happens?" Two figures. Round curves, purple hues and shades, like a 70s dream of the future. The bridge of a spaceship. The two figures: consternation. And they continue to talk: ...

Hey zwrtgz! I can't believe it was just 1714 we were here and now these douchebags don't even realize they will be killing their own planet in a few decades!

[WP] The year is 3014. Earth is protected by a sub-race of humans called Elementalists, humans that can bend the elements to their will, from raiding aliens looking for a valuable material within Earth's core.
With a sudden blast, the walls of the facility came apart. In the absence stood a group of strange people with painted green skin and silver jumpsuits. Graig had no idea what to make of them, only that trouble was brewing. "Greetings mere Earthing" One of the creatures said, making sure each vowel was stressed with...

Cool prompt, I just ran out of time! I'll try to come back to this later and clean it up and build on it a bit. "Abandon shaft procedure alpha, prepare for raid" I looked up from my desk and reached for my hard hat. "Abandon shaft procedure alpa, prepare for raid" Another raid? So soon? How are they hitting us so fast...

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ru...

[WP] Time travel is invented, and you are sent back to the 1950s. With you, you bring top end computers and communication technology, medical supplies and information, and records, photos and videos of scientific, societal and military progression in the last 60 years.
I step out of the rift. I open the JanSport that has been given to me and sift through the different hard drives reading each stick on label. Water purification, no. Lithium Batteries, no. Transparency in mineral resource policy, no. U.S. military history, yes. This world doesn't need more violence. I drop the disk on ...

When I was first assigned this mission, they didn't tell me what it was. It was classified. There was, however, a lot of training I had to go through. The training I went through was like anything I had ever encountered. And it was straining to me both mentally and physically. But by the end of it all I thought I was r...

[WP] Humanity makes contact with an alien civilization that is in the middle of a brutal civil war. Our decision to interfere ends up having unforeseen consequences.
“Requesting assistance near the orbit of Planet Entropia, a fleet of 50 battleships spotted. Looks like the military of the ASC government equipped with most recent technology, Model A36XB. Need backup ASAP” John sat in his chair, staring at the message on the computer. He knew he had made history, seeing as this wa...

[IP] Citadel of Fishermen
(I made the citadel into a modified oil rig, hope that's ok. Also this is my first one so any constructive criticism would be appreciated) "So this is the end." It was when Jason said the words aloud that he finally felt the solid punch to the gut that was their inevitability. As he stood near the edge of the massiv...

"Yer first time?" James turned to face the burly, bearded sea captain who addressed him. "I beg your pardon, sir?" The sailor waved his hand. "No, no. No need for the sir. Just call me Captain," the old captain said as he stroked his beard, "I was askin ye if it was your first time going to the citadel." James n...

[WP] You go back in time to December 6, 1941 and strike up a conversation with a peculiar group of people.
There's a loud crack. I smell ozone. Every millimeter of me feels like it's pulling 10 G's away from every other millimeter. My mind panics failing to recognize any sensory input other than the smell of electrified air. Then I'm standing. I smell grass and feel the firm bounce of old tarmac beneath my feet. I hear laug...

[WP] Human invasion from the perspective of another species
First, they were nice to us. They gave us treasures and things to study. We all knew that they were higher than us (in the sense of intelligence) even though we both looked alike. They had weapons, came from the water, and spoke in some other language. It certainly seemed like they were intelligent. But then, our peop...

[WP] Human invasion from the perspective of another species
*I'm not sure what we expected. Beings akin to us perhaps? Another avian race similar to our own? Our science fiction writings enjoyed the tropes of reptilian or amphibious races invading our home. So it came as a surprise when from out of the cold reaches of space intruders came. They were something most had not expec...

What does a man need in life? Showers, obviously. But one cannot live life on showers alone. What would one eat? What would one drink? What would one live their lives based upon? If there was one subreddit that would provide for all of these things... The thought process turned over in his head. Books didn't have sho...

I woke up. "oh shit only 1 subreddit for the rest of my life? happy birthday to me." **I rub** my *nipples* until they are harder than diamonds, then cut the hot air by throwing my sharp pointy nipples around. Jelly starts to accumulate as a result of this. i whip up a jelly sandwich and turn three times to a right...
