[WP] The first successfully cloned human wakes up and meets their original person, write the ensuing conversation. | I had been told the process would be painless and quick, but now I'm lying on the floor of the extraction room with chunk of my spine missing and a hole in my back the size of my fist. I couldn't move, I could barely breathe and my mouth wasn't responding like it should have been. There was a fog over everything and my... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 36,073 |
[Writing Prompt] Twenty years from now we land on mars. Scattered across the terrain is wreckage from a long forgotten battle. Peering into a destroyed cockpit, you find a corpse. It's human. |

[WP] Write a short satire on an injustice you see in the world. | As someone who beleaguers the longwinded rhetoric that has come to typify modern legislative discourse, it is my sincerest hope and utmost desire that we can collaboratively devise a method by which we may improve the clarity of language employed in drafting legislation, so that our aims and intents may ultimately be b... | 6 | 0 | 4 | 36,076 |
[WP] Write a short satire on an injustice you see in the world. | This may sound slightly abrasive, and it isn't a popular opinion, but I don't think that we should waste our resources on disabled people. They just take up space and require food. They're not productive like me or other logical, efficient Americans. Of course, these disabled people are in denial.

[WP]Heaven doesn't want me and Hell's afraid I'll take over | Heaven doesn't want me. Of course. Why would I ever be wanted in Heaven? I'd never expected to be barred from Hell though. Afraid I would take over, Satan was. Apparently I was too powerful to even be allowed to get that close.

[WP] The thoughts of a man suffering daily torture in a prison camp. | On the lake. Slight breezes passing through the trees lining the shore. A summer house sits on the edge of a clearing.

[WP] Write about a person who chose Immortality after being offered 3 options (Immortality/Unlimited Wealth/True Love) and after thousands of years realizes his mistake upon seeing countless people he loved die. | Quality, or quantity?
A medieval citizen would have not been hard pressed to make a choice. What was money worth in an age where the highest worth was a stone floor and a clean body? What was immortality, when life was so low? No, they would have chosen love, and loved well.

[MODPOST] Sunday Free Write - Easter Bunny Edition | Ahoy! So here's a small extract from something I wrote quite a while ago and submitted to /r/fantasywriters to see if it had any promise (I was kinda new to writing more just school projects/prompt responses).

Since then, I'v... | 1 | 0 | 19 | 36,099 |
