But he had watched more and more of his people fall to the sleeping sickness, and watched as his ancestral lands were taken over.

Once upon a time, they had been great. They had roamed the earth as its children, running alongside the wild beasts, equal in fraternity. They had taken only what they needed from the land, maintaining a balance that kept their world in a state of peace and harmony. Once upon a time, they had been happy. They w...

Heart pounding in his ears, he moved a finger over his lips to motion for silence. The children were scared, clearly, but to make a sound now would equal death.

Survival of the fittest. The strong shall live, the weak shall perish.

At first we were just *the human race.* We were unified. A nation of one, in all its a glory. Our loving, accepting nature cultivated exemplary arts and sophisticated sciences. We strove to rule the world in harmony. But some people didn't see the world that way. They saw it as wicked. A bastardized version of humanit...

"Honey, you forgot your gun at home". "BABE! I told you! Don't reveal my former KGB lifestyle in my new job!" "Oh, sorry! Heh... "My girlfriend looked at me funny as I walk away. "I'll see you at lunch time then?" said I nervously. She walked away. I know I'm sleeping in the couch today.

[WP] A man brings a gun to a bank. Do anything you please onwards.
**NSFW** (minor language) **** "I just want to keep it safe. You have a vault large enough surely?" "So you say it is *legitimately* 18th century?" He was openly interested in my wares, more so in the cannon, the largest. He sounded like the one I had spoken to on the phone to organize this meeting. "Why of cou...

[WP] A man with schizophrenia is taken to an insane asylum. He doesn't realize where he is and believes he has been kidnapped.
They've locked me in here, no window, no hope. Or at least that's how I feel. "SHUT YOUR HOLE!" The voice echoed out into nothing as the black haired adolescent leaned back onto the wall. His legs kicking it every now and then. I know it's not normal. What they're doing. They aren't who they are. They say...

[WP] A man with schizophrenia is taken to an insane asylum. He doesn't realize where he is and believes he has been kidnapped.
I know I'm schizophrenic. I may hear and see voices, but that doesn't mean I'm unaware. Imagine it like me being a coral reef in the ocean- I see beautiful and bright colors, fish, and other things, but I'm still aware that there's another world in that blue abyss. I was strapped for cash, see. Homeless on the street...

[WP] A man with schizophrenia is taken to an insane asylum. He doesn't realize where he is and believes he has been kidnapped.
Two times... Two times I have been kidnapped, and each time they did something to me. They experimented on me, they forced me to swallow pills and tried to control me, well not today. "DO YOU HEAR ME?? NOT TODAY!" They say I'm crazy, that I need help "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!". I don't need any help, I just need to be f...

[WP] A very lost man knocks at your door, asking for help. He is a confederate soldier who somehow got here from the 1860s.
It was a dark and stormy night when he came. Dressed in the tatters of clothing that had once been blue, he pounded on my door as if it were a mortar, his fist a pestle. Now, I am not a shy person; I lend aid to those who need it and support to those who cannot stand alone. I gave neither to that man. He stood ther...

[WP] A very lost man knocks at your door, asking for help. He is a confederate soldier who somehow got here from the 1860s.
The knock came just as Tom was balancing a plate of warmed-up meatloaf, a container of coleslaw and a cold beer. He growled softly, hip-checked the fridge door shut and walked through the kitchen toward the front door, depositing his bachelor’s meal on the dining room table next to the place setting he’d laid out. W...

"This is it Jim. This is the answer. The one." Jim's mouth twisted into a slight frown. He raised an eyebrow. "It's just a piece of cloth." "This is not just some fabric, this is an ideal. This is power. This- this is a nation." "At $12.90 a yard?" "You think so little Jim." Jim rolled his eyes, hoisting hi...

[WP] "This is not just some fabric, this is an ideal, this is power, this is a nation"
The portal was barely enough to safely fit through. Everything about it was a balancing act. "I can't see," Vesit said, "there's no light! There's nothing!" His voice seemed to be muffled although he was only feet away. Merim stood sweating. The staff in his right hand glowed a volatile white that threatened to break...

[WP] "This is not just some fabric, this is an ideal, this is power, this is a nation"
“Harry, what have you done?!” Ron and Hermione stood in open mouthed shock, their wands hanging by their sides. Too stunned to even raise them. Not at him. Not even after this. They stood close together in the office of the Prime Minister, a hand each on the old battered broom. A port key he'd left for them. One they...

[WP] Write a professional self-assessment end of year review as if you're writing erotica
2013 was a long, hard year, but productive. Over the past year I've been able to explore my potential, experience new things, and complete many projects I've had my eye on for some time. This year was a great year for really addressing my clients wants, needs and desires in every way possible. One particular situation ...

[WP] A fantasy version of mechs. But there's not magical cannons strapped to its arms, instead crotchety old mages.
"I say," the Left Arm sputtered, "can you not swing your arms so much?" "I concur!" Came an agreeing yell from the Right Arm. "Shut up you two," the Mech-driver warned them. "I'm getting sick of your voices." "Oy," the Left Arm complained. "I should never have dropped out of law school. My mother was right." "How ...

"Halt!" "Stay still!" The metal, lumbering giant halted before the picturesque village. It was midday and from their positions on the metal arms, both wizards could see children playing around the well. A barrage of lightning hit the village. When the golem stepped forward it stepped over only ashes.

*Knock knock*. Who the Hell knocks at someone's door at 2:30 AM? *Knock knock knock*. I sighed and walked to my door. I would normally never open it so late, but there wasn't really much to lose in the event that it was a knife wielding maniac. *Knock knock knock* "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming..." I muttered.

Scarlet wrinkled her nose at the stranger standing in her doorway. The woman was scandalously dressed. She wore tight pants made out of some kind of denim - like the miners in the territories Rhett had once spoken of. And a thin tight shirt with some kind of writing on it. Scarlet wrapped her robe tightly over he...

First time I saw him was before graduating high school. I don't remember why I had the house to myself that weekend, but that's when he first came. I don't remember much from that night but I know I was so drunk when I got home, I first thought I was imagining him. I mean, because of what he was saying. Things like...

My back aches as I sit in front of the computer. Even in running shoes, standing all day is brutal, especially today. The children were loud and cruel to each other, I muse while actively ignoring the pile of correction awaiting me. I don’t know how our trip will work out if they behave like this. Lost in my thoughts...

I couldn't decide whether I was dreaming or not. I could feel my bed, yes. From my closed eyes I could still tell that there was muted light coming from my window. Dawn? Most probably. So I guess I'm waking up. I lay in my bed in the slowly brightening room when I heard it. Breathing. Heavy. It wasn't mine, I was sure...

EDDARD The stranger was sitting in his room when he returned from the blacksmiths. Ned looked him up and down, not knowing how the stranger got in, or what the clothing he was wearing represented. He was wearing a white shirt of some kind that covered his torso, a hood attached to the edge of it. Ned reached for Ice, ...

"I can't let it end this way," she repeated. Frozen I stared at her, not quite comprehending what was happening. She stood there, her eyes darkened with numerous shadows, horrors I couldn't imagine. "You see, when I wrote the book, I based you off of me," she murmured sitting down in my chair, crossing her legs and a ...

Blackness, I'm seeing black right now. But I guess there is now a strange man in my house. No, fuck, no. He isn't dangerous. But he _is_ shouting. I got so angry so fast that my brain couldn't contain the anger and it is blocking my view. That kind of anger. Because, I mean, for one thing — he is yelling. And he jus...

[IP] The Black Idol by Kupka
The soul is a wicked thing. It is false. It is a lie. That is what the idol has taught me. The harrowing cavern is vast. The stalactites, with their colored bands, hang down from the impossibly high ceiling. The tremors in the room threaten to thrown them from their resting place on high. Water rains endlessly down fro...

Green. Green green green. It's yellow, sometimes, but it's usually a good 'ol country-green color. It stands and grows, and that's about it. Sometimes you find coins and other trinkets in it, but not always. You can find those things on the ground in other places. It soaks up water and gathers the dew that seek...

The rain has started again. Simple drops of water throw themselves from the sky and land in explosions of clear translucent energy. They congeal and meld until my windshield is a river of glass and I am floating underneath the surface trying to see above the water. I pull over and put Bessie in park. Reaching out I...

[WP] Stories from the end of the world as we know it
Earth was never an end, and when it died we had only begun. The end will arrive at a strange distance in time and space, when the planet Vestige orbits a dying red dwarf and its night sky is empty but for seven stars. The stars will have no names, for the same reason that the farmers of Earth had nameless cattle. ...

[WP] Stories from the end of the world as we know it
One by one, the sea rose, and the live streams winked out. We watched the television screens from the top of the Rocky Mountains. They were wired all the way to the coasts, directly to the cameras recording the chaos. They were built to be waterproof, but none of them lasted more than a few minutes as the debris slamm...
