[OT] How long are the comments that you generally read? Which length do you prefer?
If I'm tired, I'll skim over the long ones. If I catch something interesting -which I usually do- I'll go back and read it from the start. I'll also read the short ones too simply because sometimes you don't need to say much to get a point across. I've read some very powerful short comments.

[WP] Write from the perspective of that one crazy guy on the subway.
The speed and gentle lateral rocking of the train car is the only calm in my life. Sleep rarely comes anymore so this is my freedom. I feel lucky to spend so much time just drifting under the city. Sanity seems briefly to return to me down here. Traveling the web of tunnels retraces the wiring in my brain. Every unint...

[WP] Write from the perspective of that one crazy guy on the subway.
I step onto the subway, avoiding eye contact as usual. I made my way to a corner where I could balance myself when the train left the station; sitting beside others was not a part of my routine. *Where should I go today?* I unbuttoned my suit jacket and loosened my tie. Others around me seemed to shift and look away ...

These fruit salads are fucking whores. Look at them. Look at all of them and their damn Poptarts. I think that we should throw them right under the cucumbers on which they eat phones. You can'e eat a phone unless AT&T services it. This is common knowledge. If these fruit salads don't understand that, then the...

She used to sing for me before I sleeped. It was a strange moment, when we met. I didn't usually go outside, too much pressure, too many disappointing faces. I took books as my only company, they enjoyed silence. I remember going out to old bookstore near my house and bumping into her. You know how it is, right? When...

"But you know how much this means to me." Sara always looked her best when she was sad. Or maybe that just meant I was a prick. "Listen, you already know I have issues with fitting in-" "You don't have to go 'overboard'." "No, it's not that, it's that I just can't do it. I'm bad. Is that what you want me to say? I'...

The world is the worst thing ever. I know it's cliche for a teen, but this is the world I live in. I never knew my talent in the world of Xanth until the magic decided it was going to make everyone swing and dance at the slightest provocation. What is my power, you ask? Why, it is simple. My power is the power of not-...

When I was little, it didn't matter that I didn't join in with the songs. I'd dance along because everyone was dancing and everyone seemed so happy, and it was okay that I was clumsy and fell over and bumped into things, because it was expected that little kids still be somewhat uncoordinated. Cute, even. Around p...

It is four o'clock and the afternoon, and the situation is quickly deteriorating. I am walking between 6th and Pike and traffic has stopped so that a woman can spin ceaselessly in the intersection, hands thrust upward as she chants melodiously about the power of feelings, or the feeling of power: I can't tell which, an...

They call it a gift, like it’s something I was blessed with, something divine. They shout my praises to the heavens and the earth and, really, anyone who’ll listen. They parade me around as if I were a long-lost relic seeing the light of day for the first time after a thousand-year cavernous slumber, carrying me thro...

Every day is hell. My grandmother used to tell us that God would send us to hell if we didn't believe in Jesus; but I'd almost rather face the fire than one more goddamn day of singing. They don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm glad now... for whatever this is. I wasn't always glad. School was torment. I was the ...

Not an actual response but the movie Happy Feet is this exact plot but with penguins.

"To whoever finds this: I'm sorry, I just can't take the singing anymore. You don't know what I'm talking about, but you do it constantly. Everyone but me does it. Yesterday, I saw a woman missing a bus, causing her to be late for work and irritating her supervisor. I know this because of her singing. She stopp...

**This was a great prompt, but I kind of took it in a different direction** It started with one long slow note, Was apprehensive at the start, With confidence the note grew bolder, Adding harmonies to its heart, As song took shape more voices joined, ‘Till the village was filled with song, And I alone ignored its ple...

I don't think I'm really capable of the kind of dark drivel that would do justice to the original, but here's my best shot. ----- This city is afraid of me...I have seen its true face. The homes are made of gingerbread and the taps are full of running syrup and when the rush finally comes crashing down they will find...

Oh to sing, to dance.. To join in the cacophony of the masses. I see them on every street corner. In every business. They see me walking by. I feel normal. I feel like they are the ones I should be looking at with funny looks. Seriously, do they eve know what it's like to walk around and conduct your life "Withou...

Isn't this the premise of Happy Feet... except you can't really sing or dance like a Disney show?

She knew she just couldn't do it - yet, this one time she must. She would have to fit in if she wanted her life to get back on track. Already at the front door of the biggest bank in downtown she was dressed for the part: glitter, high heels and what-not. The building was bursting with activity - not a single song had...

I woke up with the pain of yesterday's work. My job as an accountant in the city was good work, especially during this war period. I got out of bed groggily, checking to see the progress of my personal book. I brought it to the bathroom, to read over the memories of old, and to review yesterday's thoughts and actions...
