[WP] An automated probe arrives on Earth and contacts what it considers the planet's most appropriate representative -- a Google driverless car | "Let me pose you a question," the wise man asked as he tinkered with the wires of his latest creation. "If the probe could only pick one representative, what criteria must we judge them on?"
His assistant contemplated. "Well, we have to find someone who wants to speak to us, I guess."
"And how do we decide that?"

[WP] Write a creation myth. | First the land was empty, round as a marble and caked with mud where no grass can grow.
So it was.
Next came the ocean, bringing life from the dirt. Fishes and frogs came from the soil, woken by the waters.
So it was.
Then came the light, bringing day to the lands. The sun kissed the land and the waters, kissed t... | 6 | 0 | 4 | 36,980 |
[WP] Write a creation myth. | It was the first, thinking, "I am" and in an instance it was, casting itself into an infinite lifetime of watching and creating. It had no gender as we did, nor did It have our ephemeral lifespans and limits. It wanted to create a vast universe of billions of galaxies each filled with millions of lights and even more p... | 2 | 0 | 4 | 36,981 |
[WP] Write a creation myth. | [1] In the beginning Arceus created the tall grass and the caves.
[2] And the game was without form, and void; and Mystery was upon the Zone of the outside. And the Spirit of Arceus moved upon the face of the tiles.
[3] And Arceus said, Let there be code: and there was code.
[4] And Arceus saw the code, that i... | 5 | 0 | 4 | 36,982 |
[WP] Write a creation myth. | Beware the pattern that repeats.
In a far galaxy, further than light has ever been, dwelling the dark places are the Seasons. You've never seen them. You've never heard them. You're only exist because of them. The appetites are voracious when like locust digging their way from the earth, the Seasons come into the ligh... | 1 | 0 | 4 | 36,983 |
[IP] When Only Memories Remain | The rain stopped almost as suddenly as it had started, leaving the scent of moisture thick in the air... I was secretly glad to be in the abandoned buildings of the city, even though I'd never say it outloud. I looked down from the empty window to the river of green that seemed to shimmer where there had once been stre... | 3 | 0 | 7 | 36,984 |
[IP] When Only Memories Remain | "What were these for?" I asked my father, holding up a round silver disc. He smiled at me.
"All sorts of things, some were used for entertainment, others for playing games, but mostly they were used to store information." I looked at the disc and saw the sunlight's reflection,
"Information, on this?" My father laugh... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 36,985 |
[IP] When Only Memories Remain | The last time I drowned, everything was painful and scary. I remember being overtaken by blackness. Eventually, my eyes opened up and my lips were finally upon yours.
It's that cliche dream of finally kissing who you want, and finally having what you desire. Your lips were soft and they tasted of berries. Even though ... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 36,986 |
[IP] When Only Memories Remain | "How could she do that to me!? To me! After all the years...everything I gave up to stay with her."
A tear rolled down my cheek as I stared down at Gwen's body. She looked almost beautiful with her ghost white skin surrounded by a pool of crimson. And now she's gone, the woman I devoted the last 13 years of my life t... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 36,987 |
[IP] When Only Memories Remain | Deads, that's what they called those places, the empty cities and towns which lay scattered across the landscape, their buildings still left behind like hollow corpses. The environmentalists got what they wanted in the end I guess, since nature did return. The trees and vines ate up the concrete and sidewalks ravenousl... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 36,988 |
[WP] You have spent your entire life alone exploring the ruins of human civilization. As far as you can tell, you are immortal. One day, an extraterrestrial arrives and approaches you. | Rays of sunlight pierced the roof of the ancient structure. Weeds grew from the cracks in the once-solid stones lining the floor of the monolith. A breeze whispered through the hollow sockets once lined with colored glass. Upon the far wall, a great hunk of rusted iron in the shape of a cross seemed to struggle to main... | 18 | 0 | 27 | 36,989 |

[WP] A billionaire had invested heavily into cryogenics, and placed himself in a time capsule in a geologically stable area for 5000 years. When he awakes, the world is devoid of humans. | >Shitty story cause I'm bored!
It was like a wink.
Suddenly he was older, but he didn't feel it.
Everybody he had known had died long ago, he had accepted that before stepping in.
He stepped out of the capsule, the warmth as he stepped out was very unnatural, almost like a fake sun. A hole in the wall of the war... | 1 | 0 | 3 | 36,992 |

[FF] A Friend In Need. (Contest) | I couldn't believe it, years of work thrown away in an instant. I had lost everything, my house, my source of income, my reputation all gone because of that bloody stock market. I didn't know what to do, any friends I did have turned their backs on me long ago, I began to stumble around the city aimlessly and for the f... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 36,995 |
[FF] A Friend In Need. (Contest) | The house looked exactly the same as it always had. No, maybe not *exactly* the same—the porch was painted green now, and a second flower bed had been planted outside the kitchen window—but even so, I felt like I was stepping back in time as I strode up the front steps.
How many times had we raced up these stairs aft... | 11 | 1 | 17 | 36,996 |

Hey, uh...hey man.
He doesn't make eye contact. He lets his woeful glance fleet over his friends face but continues to sweep across the ground. He even looks over his shoulder wondering who is peering out their window at the bum. He's aware he smells. Not strong but badly. Just sort of a light fuzz of odorous despai... | 1 | 0 | 17 | 36,997 |
[FF] A Friend In Need. (Contest) | Small beads of sweat slowly dripped down his brow, sneaking into his eye and blinding him for a moment. He wiped it all away with the back of his hand. Everything rode on this one moment. It had been years since he was given an opportunity like this, one last chance to turn his life around. He couldn’t let it go, not w... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 36,998 |
[FF] A Friend In Need. (Contest) | Alfred sat cross-legged on the warm dirt, eyes wide and thumbs dancing against the gold shilling in his lap. He could feel his toes twitching under his rear, and he bit down a gasp at the cold terror blossoming in his chest. Twisted shadows contorted and shriveled on the wall of the cave, and though the fire before him... | 3 | 0 | 17 | 36,999 |
