I stood in my living room, my robe hanging open around my waist, a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and a smile on my face. The sun was pouring in through the mostly-closed blinds in my living room, and I could hear the sounds of faint sirens from outside, but I had nowhere to be. And it was glorious. I lifted my ...	2	8	34,307

They talk all day about how hard it is to swim, how tired their arms get pushing them through the current, the small bit of panic as they realize their legs might be just too tired to heave them through the final few feet to make it to land. They say the water is cold on their skin, it sur...	3	10	34,310

[OT] Do you have any writing quirks?	I use the word clenched or clutched at least once every 1000 words to show stress or a character being uncomfortable and I can't seem to snap out of it.	2	5	34,387
[OT] Do you have any writing quirks?	My characters always blink. They have some kind of disease or something. I end up CNTRL+F searching for 'blink' and taking most out after I write a story.	2	5	34,388
[OT] Do you have any writing quirks?	I always include red herrings or Mcguffins in my stories for some reason and often times they're for comedic reasons. I enjoy them even if no one else does.	1	5	34,389
[OT] Do you have any writing quirks?	For characters which represent a certain type of personality (being intentional unidimensional because of that) i oftenly use the name of some ancient god which portrays that type of personality or trait as their name, but written backwards. Also, when i see a prompt which i like, usually i go outside for a smoke (bad...	2	5	34,390
[WP]: A man has the power to posses the body of any person, and can read their mind. One day he possess a person, and it changed his life forever.	Sometimes I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing; it's not on purpose sometimes my mind just wanders. I'll find myself looking down in amazement at the gold rolex on my wrist and realize the girl I'm thinking about fucking is neither my own wife or his. There I am, sat head down a couple of meters away. Oh, he thou...	5	26	34,391
[WP]: A man has the power to posses the body of any person, and can read their mind. One day he possess a person, and it changed his life forever.	By the time I was a senior in college, I honed my powers to their sharpest. As people passed, I could feel the bubbling aether of their thoughts percolate, waiting for me to dive in. What began as making the teacher twitch in grade school blossomed into leaping from mind to mind like a frog hopping between lily pads....	12	26	34,392
[WP]: A man has the power to posses the body of any person, and can read their mind. One day he possess a person, and it changed his life forever.	I had done it for my own sick amusement at work a thousand times, synced to peoples minds and learned everything they knew in seconds. It was wonderful anytime I was having a work related conflict I could drop who was cheating on who, with who and why. When it came to getting raises mine were always highest as I simply...	5	26	34,393
[WP] (repost) You wake up in the middle of the night, freezing cold. The first floor of your house is flooded, and when you look out the window it's dark but for several fires in the distance.	In my awakening I realized I was cold, even though it was almost summer. I was piled under blankets and comforters, but my teeth chattered as if I were outside. I rolled over to try to fall asleep again, but I heard my wife rubbing her arms for warmth. As I sat up, I was able to see in the distance several fires dan...	3	41	34,394
[WP] Portray the power of a voice	It was an ambush, and we walked straight into it. Before we knew it, we were surrounded on all sides by enemy forces. Bullets rained from all sides, piercing my mates. I saw the squadron leader get hit and fall down, followed by my best buddy Nate. I go into auto pilot mode. My fingers squeeze the trigger and I start...	10	17	34,395
[WP] Portray the power of a voice	Andy's fist made a hard 'pop' noise when his knuckles smashed into the loud-mouths jaw and sent him careening again into the ground. The bully's fists were slick with blood by this point, and the fight was little more than a one-sided asskicking. Still, the loud-mouth rolled onto his elbow and tried to stand, despite ...	3	17	34,396
[WP] Portray the power of a voice	There was something so sincere about him. A familiarity that she could not place. The deep bass, each word articulated just so with a soft lilt that called back to a land across the sea where he may have spent his childhood. Each word was like a knife, cutting through the mists of confusion and haze of uncertainty. S...	2	17	34,397

[WP] Apparently, those aliens cannot understand sarcasm	"Today... today... I will be reciting the Gettysburg Add..ress." Little 9-year-old Wilburt said - he reeked of body odor, his pancake stacked belly peeked out under his pony shirt and over his Levis, jiggling like a parkinson's. He felt the millions of eyes set before him, the classmates who were waiting for that one s...	1	20	34,399
