[EU] A Pilot in Titanfall, at any time during the match.
There’s this moment before every deployment, after you’ve strapped on your gear and loaded onto the dropships. There’s nothing else you can do to prepare. You can’t bug out, you can’t change loadout, you just wait for the clamps to release and the ship to go down. And lemme tell you, when you’re about to drop into what...

[WP] A man working at a suicide hotline call center gets a call from the person who killed his wife
"Hello, suicide hotline," Jim said in his cheerful, fake voice he usually answers the calls in. He was ready to talk some sense into the person on the other line, no matter how long it took, he would do it, and do it well. He loves his job and he knows how much he can help another person. But this call, this call was d...

[WP] A scientist discovers that viruses en masse are sentient organisms. They have been trying to communicate with us for centuries... by killing people.
Do you realize how long a billion years is to me. I measure my average life in days. While I am a single virus, my intellect is tied to all viruses. I have been trying to communicate with all of the animals and plants for eons. I reasoned that if someone had intellegence, they would notice exponential growth as a sign ...

-088 "It's almost time son." Daniel mumbled, staring down into the void. "Will it hurt father?" Jacob asked. "No. It won't hurt." His father lied. He pulled a knife from a sheath he held in his hand and handed it to the boy. The boy held the tip of the blade over the palm of his hand. "Go on, son. Your kin is watchi...

"Come on, it's not that bad!" Sharon exclaimed, walking alongside the edge of the cliff. Marg stared at her like she'd grown a third head. "Sharon, there are clouds down there! I'm not getting any closer to that ledge than I need to." She hugged herself as she walked up the stone stairs up the mountain. "But you...

[WP] Write from the perspective of someone in the past witnessing a time traveler from the modern day.
Dear journal, I saw the most peculiar thing today. While I was at port, watching the next shipment of goods come in from China, I saw a blinding flash of light from the corner of my eye. I decided to investigate, and went into the brush behind the port offices. I saw a man, quite tall, about 6 feet high, wearing stran...

Starting production on a doc that involves a lot of public events. Trying to get a release from hundreds of people in a crowd is unfeasible. How do I handle this?

[WP] in a world where intelligence equals height,a genius is born with dwarfism
Gentleman, As I accept this award, permit me a few minutes to briefly give you a history of my discovery. I spent the first 18 years of my life under intense study. Who had ever seen such a thing, a dwarf with the mind of a giant? Naturally the tallest and broadest wanted to come from all over the world to examine me...

[WP] Humans find a way to quickly send a very powerful telescope millions of light years from earth to watch the world's history. It captures an unrecorded, yet world-changing event that we never would have never expected.
*I'm altering this a bit. Instead of millions of light years I'm going with 2014 light years.* "Well, this is it." I had been working on Project Lazarus for 30 years now. We had recieved the findings from the satellite just a month prior and spent the time since decoding the video and images taken by the device. Amazi...

When I die, it is my wish that this recording be sent to every major media outlet. When I die, tell the world what I have seen. In life, they would have silenced me. Dead, wit...

The most incredible technology harnessed by man, a telescope launched into space millions of light years away able to look back at earth and see deep into our history , and we were using it to watch a turtle. The turtle floated serenely for hours and we watched, transfixed. Every twitch and movement had everyone in th...

(Little quickie i did for a friend) - Giant pigs. Who would've thought the end of the world will be caused by giant pigs? Oh, how we puny humans who once stood at the top of the world are now hiding in shelters from those giant, pink, long menaces. "We're taking our daily run to get food" I said. Stepping out into t...

Hello! As it is rather apparent, I've recently been writing a new series. I'd love to hear what people have to say about it and if they have any ideas as to how to improve it, things they'd like to see, etc. etc. If anyone has a better title for it, I'm all ears. I'm terrible with titles. *The Captivity of Dieter Hage...

I wrote this Creepypasta a while back. I'd enjoy some critiques for it, if at all possible, since it didn't receive much feedback at all. I thought the idea was good, but my writing mayn't have been flawless. Enjoy, or don't: ____________________________________________________________ For thirty-two and one half min...

Dark alley, symbolic moon graffiti, creepy rustling noises. Yes, this was the place, the place they'd meet. Hero walked down the alley cautiously and waited for a sign, when a small light flickered on at the far end. A man sat alone at a small round table, beckoning Hero to sit down with him. "We'll have to make this ...

Do you ever have a ringing in your ears? The persistent kind, that won't go away. It stays with you all day, lingers in the back of your mind, becomes a steady hammer pounding in your brain. The doctor tells me it's called "tinnitus." "It's Latin, you know," he adds. "Oh." "It means ringing." "I guess that makes ...

A prologue I've been working on for a while for a story about a cyberpunkish city, floating in the sky. The complete story is nowhere near finished, but this is one of the few parts I think is okay enough to show to other people. Feedback of any sort would be appreciated. #WELCOME TO BABYLON CITY It hadn't taken long...

(written in response to "Write the introduction to the world's worst cookbook") I became a vegan in 1976, right around the time when I first got the idea to write a 100% microbiotic recipe book. I'd always had a fascination with oats, and experimenting with granola was just a silly hobby at the time. Now, most people...
