[WP] To combat overpopulation, the world's governments decide to arrange a worldwide game of Russian Roulette.
The soldier hands the man next to me the revolver. "You have five minutes." Five potential last minutes. Five minutes during which these six people might be the last people I ever see. Not five minutes with my wife, my kids, my mother, my friends. Just five strangers. And one soldier. What a fucking unfair way to spe...

[WP] Two men witness the same event. One cries. The other laughs.
Both of the men watched the single-engine plane spiral out of control before crashing into a field. A tear of joy rolls out of one man's eye. The other man laughs a hearty laugh. Both men look at each other, before saying, "my cheating, abusive wife."

It all came down to this. Barry's signature knee-high, blue stripe tube socks were soaked through with sweat. Darnell tried to post up, sporting a rather ravishing pair of maroon bike shorts. The pick flew out of his hair as he bumped Barry hard in the midsection with his hip. It was too late though. Barry had already ...

[EU] Write a monologue for either your favorite Super Smash Bros. character or Master Hand as they prepare for their final showdown
This tournament has been interesting, to say the least, but nothing is going to stop me. I have seen some crazy things, and this is coming from a girl who has been infected by parasites twice, taken out entire armies of space pirates, and fought an evil clone of myself. I don't think the Federation could possibly prepa...

[EU] Batman noir
From atop the Wayne Enterprises building, Gotham seemed small before me like a sink full of cold water. When I leapt from the building, it was like submerging my battered face. I could keep it submerged, and let her take me to the ones I had loved. Not tonight. The grappling hook found building after building as ...

[WP] The last argument between friends
Slowly everything was gathering back into the point of origin, matter created by the Primals to be their homes, servants or lovers, all coming back to the sphere. "Its almost over" Ran said, the energy crackling in his palms: "Soon everything will be free from our rule and we will finally be able to rest." "Think abo...

*C'mon, it wasn't that funny!* But it is, don't you like it? *Not really.* Seriously? I thought you liked stand up shows! *No, I think it's just lame observations about life in general.* Wow. I did not know that. That you didn't like stand-ups, I mean. *...* So why did you come along? *I though we could just...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
There was a wizard. He wore a large robe and loved young women. Coincidentally, a young woman was his current apprentice. She had been with many 'a wizard, and had laid with them in her apprentice chambers. The Wizard knew this already, as he had laid with her, many a fortnight, and had both felt and seen the loosenes...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
His body was failing. He had taken care of it very well, but 205 years were a long time. Not a drop of alcohol all those long and lonely tavern nights, not a crumb of tobacco for the old pipe. He never had indulged in gluttony and he had moved meticulously through his sword forms every morning. Yet there is only so muc...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
Though Moira slept far from her master's eye in the Arcanum Tower, he was always watching her. "She is a weapon. And like any weapon, she must be cared for with great vigilance and control. Do you expect me to leave a cask of gunpowder open out on the street where any fool can get to it?" Master Hullum once told a coll...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
The old man caressed his long, white beard as he hunched over the cauldron, vapor rising from it's boiling contents. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling the strange and exotic smells. "Needs more Widower's tears ..." he mumbled to himself, taking a few steps to a gnarled, old tree trunk that had some ...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
He just stared at the smoldering crater that had once been Squire Aemon, two boots sat nicely in the crater with steam rising out of them in small plumes. Aemon had always been a fat, cocky little prick with a waistline that threatened to draw the planets into orbit... but he didn't deserve to be vaporized. "What the...

Valeron strode forth, cutting through shadow and air. He had been working on a new project, a charm of health for a local nobleman. That project was paused when he heard his apprentice call for him. He descended the massive spire, using magic in small spurts to speed his movement. At the bottom, he could see his appre...

[WP] Write a story about an elderly wizard and his young female apprentice.
He has had many apprentices before. They came in droves, really, journeying far and wide in hopes of becoming his assistant, in hopes of flying under his wings. Oh yes, in his many, many years, the great Arch Mage Mikalah had many apprentices. But none quite like her. Lachesis sat beside him on the carriage, throwi...

Okay, since you mentioned "burn"... Someone wrote something on a piece of paper while crying, crumpled it, and burned it. Write what was written on the paper.

[WP] "We looked skyward, even in our delirious and broken states we were still able to realise our imminent doom. The Humans were here."
An acidic tidal wave gushed down the bronze pipe, catching the weak and the old, and carrying them off on the long journey to the sea. We clutched onto the bars above our heads, scrambling to keep our heads above water. My grip kept loosening as wave upon wave crashed into my fragile body. The bones of my ribcage jut...

Day 185 since the independence. I rejoiced the day the feline democracy separated and began its own government. We finally had the freedom we deserved. I could picture the generations to come hunting and grooming without boundaries, a scratch post on every corner. I remember my wife fervently gnawing her teeth through ...

We looked skyward, even in our delirious and broken states we were still able to realize our imminent doom. The Humans were here. We were all told that this day would eventually come, but some part of us clung onto the hope that our lives would be lived forever uninterrupted. "We have to go, Tani." "Tani..." I lo...

Our history is steeped in war. Mass genocides wiped out entire continents. Our people's blood has coated the face of our planet. When but few of us remained, we had everything in common; the loss of our own species. We had destroyed ourselves in our past. Whole civilizations rose and fell until we learned. Peace was o...

Bodies by the hundred littered the floor before the throne. It couldn’t have been more than a fortnight since we had discovered paradise. I turned from the chamber. I could feel the revulsion at the sight of my sisters' twitching corpses. The last of the queens had died. The whole bloody war had been for nothing. As I...

[WP] "We looked skyward, even in our delirious and broken states we were still able to realise our imminent doom. The Humans were here."
We identified the planet ages ago. A chaotic and dangerous planet, it should never have had life, let alone allowed it to flourish. As if the planet itself hated life, mass extinctions were a regular occurrence. Yet life did develop there, and it continued to evolve and flourish against all odds. Life borne from suc...
