[WP] Famous Redditors meet up in a top-secret discussion, to take over the world. | A reminder to all, from the sidebar:
> Top-lever comments that are jokes or just lazy will be removed.
If your story is humorous, that's absolutely fine. In fact, it can be quite enjoyable. But if it's simply something like:
> Unidan will rule the world.
or
> Everyone is karmanaut.
it doesn't contribute. | 4 | 0 | 17 | 2,981 |
[WP] Famous Redditors meet up in a top-secret discussion, to take over the world. | Okay, but only because you have a dog.
It was hard to see everyone's faces in the dark basement. Only a yellow light hanging above the table gave Karmanaut a good look at the crowded redditors as they filed down the staircase. "Where's Andrew Smith?"

[WP] The intoxicated, panicked inner monologue of a fictional character not known for drug use, written in some form of rhythmic/poetic verse. | Not sure how well you can use this. I assumed the character was drinking alone. Was I wrong?
I fear I cannot tell the tale this drink has bought for me.
For problems, my life has none, but the problem of nothing.
Now realized, I have, of the lifeless life I live.
My only regret is the lack of regret I have to... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 2,983 |

I wake up every morning to the light of my screen. Daily pattern: Facebook notifs, Reddit front page, Youtube uploads. My whole life revolves around clicking this damned thing that looks nothing like a mouse. Nothing just feels real anymore. I have "friends" in Facebook, but the relationship is not real.

Too much to hold onto - a world between eight months.

The gunshot echoed down the alleyway long after it had been fired. The rulebreaker had fallen almost instantly, dead before he even hit the ground. Oh well. Another casualty of the rules. That's what happens when you break the rules: you get punished.

You wake up with a start.

It is more persistent now. You feel the tension of fear, yet shake it off and try to keep your composure. You put on your robe.
Walking to the door cautiously, another set of knocks. You grab the doorknob. Twisting it slowly, you peer out into your apartment... | 1 | 0 | 9 | 2,990 |
[WP] Two best friends working together for CIA. One is forced to torture the other. | "He's cuffed to the chair. You need to work him until he talks about the blueprints he saw yesterday." The chief lit a cigarette. This was everyday business to him. To Jessica, it was different for her. She hasn't tortured anyone. She wanted to be apart of the team.

[WP]A new pill comes on the market that allows people to split their psyche into 'good' and 'bad' sides which then duel until one is destroyed forever. Your protagonist has just taken a pill. | I should probably have taken it at home or something, but I couldn't wait and just took it on the street just outside the chemist. There was a massive pain in my head, but it was so numb that I didn't know which to be more worried about, the pain or the numbness. Then for a second everything went black and I am still s... | 6 | 0 | 13 | 2,992 |
[WP]A new pill comes on the market that allows people to split their psyche into 'good' and 'bad' sides which then duel until one is destroyed forever. Your protagonist has just taken a pill. | "Miraculous", they called it. "The end to all your problems!" There was a law, very recently, that allowed all death row prisoners a choice: pop a pill or pop the weasel. Not really much of a choice, but still, a choice.
And so, I signed it away. Just a little tiny signature, akin to the last breath of a part of my p... | 5 | 0 | 13 | 2,993 |
[WP]A new pill comes on the market that allows people to split their psyche into 'good' and 'bad' sides which then duel until one is destroyed forever. Your protagonist has just taken a pill. | Always curious about the sides of my brain, the pill seemed the logical option to me. The pills outside was simple, one side was black, the other white with a gradual gradient between them.

[CC] Feedback, tips, anything would be appreciated. | Right off, that's seven 'hurt' or 'hurting's in the first paragraph. I don't think I have to tell you that that is too many. Rather than tell us you're hurting, and expecting the reader to go 'oh yeah, he's hurting, I guess,' you need to show it. What are the physical signs of heartbreak?

[CS] To Triumph Over Melancholy | Anne turned from the line with her plate of food.
