[WP] The love of your life is about to leave for another country. They want a reason to return. Give them that reason.
I totally understand why you want to leave. There is a whole world out there to explore, and we've only seen the smallest percentage of it. To stand on mountains and here your voice carry in the wind. To swim in oceans and taste the salt of raging seas. To feel the breeze on your face of a quiet Parisian night. All of ...

[WP] The love of your life is about to leave for another country. They want a reason to return. Give them that reason.
I love you. I love your purple raincoat and your ridiculous blue sunglasses. I love the way you tilt your head when you tease me. I even love your late night texts that snap me awake just as I'm about to drift off. I love it when you grab my hand as we walk and our fingers intertwine. I love how fearless you are, how y...

[WP] All content (private messages etc) on Facebook is suddenly accessible to anyone. [Bonus: anyone can also see who has been looking at which profiles, pictures etc.] Enjoy!
I looked down at my phone as it lit up and vibrated softly. It inched closer to the edge of the table with each buzz. Why is she calling me this early in the day? I wonder as the phone does a suicidal slide towards the edge. Picking it up I answer. “Hello?” I don’t hide my confusion. Just an out of the ordinary call....

[CW] "I wish I was not needed."
I miss the sweet summer air and the smell of the freshly cut grass on the sidewalk, everywhere and thick. I sit on the beach sometimes, when it's not too cold and the fog is swept across the water like passing spirits, ancient and dignified, and I let myself remember. I lay my back against the cool sand and curse the c...

It was a long day, like any other. Japan, Germany, even the U.S. I've guided many here and there, some happy; some, regretting they couldn't stick around longer. Most more mature than many of their parents. I thought as I got older I'd see less and less of them. Not true. I rip kids from their sick weakly bodies, their...

You are not a solider. You are a knight, brave and handsome and honorable. You protect the weak and you seek justice for those who have been wronged. You lead men into battle and save women and children. Being a knight is not about glory. It is not about tasting the sweetest wines or fucking the most beautiful whores. ...

President Obama placed the telephone receiver onto its hanger, buried his face in his hands and took a deep breath. "Jesus, Barack. That was fast," said Joe Biden. "It wasn't easy," said Obama. "Easy?! Wha...what the..you didn't even let them finish their sentence," said Biden. "I know," said Obama with a sigh. "Y...

[WP] A terrorist cell has placed two bombs inside the cities of Chicago and Huston. They tell the US government to pick one city to be saved in 24 hours, or they'll set both bombs off.
The blaring sounds of the city were far above and beyond the rhythmic ticking inching each city towards an impending annihilation, the likes of which could change the face of modern politics. People looked like ants going about their daily bailiwick, none the wiser that their world was about to be turned upside down. ...

I mean, couldn't they just choose the city with the smallest population, evacuate it, then choose that one, or would the terrorists set the bombs off if they try to evacuate anyone?

A legendary hero arrives at an evil villain's lair with the intent of slaying them, only to discover the said villain isn't what they seem.
My fingertips pulse with quick, burning blood. The metal sheets rub together. I cringe, I'm discovered! No crushing mass nor inferno consume me. Deep breaths, slow ones. The stout languid cavern opens to an antechamber fit for a king. Black ground, soft. No stone? Not a good sign. Another step forward and I realize. Th...

A black smoke puffed from the mouth of a cave. The opening was wide, a phalanx eight men wide could enter with room on either side, yet it was not so wide as the legends had always told. Ever since Phasis was a boy, he had heard of the Wicked Serpent of the mountains, wide as an Athenian's warship, long as any road, an...

It was three years to the day since she had set off on her journey. Her leather was beaten and torn. The shield she carried was splintering and its banded iron was slowly corroding. Her father's spear was as brilliant and wicked as the day she left Westhall. For these years she had chased a rumour. A taboo that played ...

It seems as though while I was sleeping some Freaky Friday crap happened and I'm again 4'2" and a chunky little girl no one liked. Though I have changed bodies, I have also managed to keep all of my memories and all the times I messed up. I may be able to use this to my advantage, and hope I don't change back any time...

Another night at home. I sigh as I put down the phone. Thirty minutes or it's free eh? We'll see how well this works. I glance down at my wrist. Hmm...I didn't think it was that close...fourty-seven minutes. All of my friends had found their soul-mates out at the bar, or walking down the street. I was at home, a...

I am a social animal, through and through. The thrill of the masses congregating around me, yet blissfully ignorant to all the troubles of my life, is a truly golden high. I can reinvent myself seemingly every few hours, when I'm out. To this girl, I'm a doctor, working to cure cancer. To that girl, I'm an artist. A ...

I had always planned to do something outrageous on the day my watch ticked down to zero. Paris? Too cliche. And anyways I don't speak french. Skydiving? My anxiety got in the way of adventure. A road trip to Seattle? Ugh, what if I get a pulmonary embolism? All my life while I planned, I also worried. Ever sin...

"Why, WHY did I choose a damn POCKET WATCH?!" I swear, stomping my foot as I momentarily regress to a four-year-old with a temper tantrum. Nearly everyone else in my class had chosen classy, sleek wristwatches. Those who preferred not to know the exact timing got a lovely clock for their mantle, so that they could know...

Oh, the joys of the internet. Most people have to wait until their time is up to meet their soulmate, but not me. I found my soulmate online. She only lives like an hour away, too! I had been talking to a girl, Sherry, online for quite some time when I found out that our clocks had the same time on them. We knew ins...

Any other day, Tom's a fireman. Not today. Company policy. Nobody with less than a day works. It's so they don't find their soulmate when it's too late. So Tom's sitting in an outdoor cafe, counting down the minutes. Watching the people passing by, curiously. He never sees the woman jump. Sarah, you see, Sarah never ...

Grandpa Eli had been widowed for twelve years when Heart, Inc. introduced their Soul Mate watches. I begged and begged him to go camp out in line with me for the watches. Finally, he relented, though he remained skeptical about the watches. “You know, your Grandma Annabelle was my one true soul mate. I can’t imag...

(Just writing something real quick while I'm half awake) The camera fuzzes on. On the screen there's a dark haired man, with dark, droopy, brown eyes. He's visibly shaken. He sits in front of the camera for quite a while, his eyes darting around the room. "This....is" He says, before choking up. "This is my confessi...

Trevor inhaled deeply and stepped in between Serenity and the mugger. He felt Serenity's hand grasp his hip, tugging him backwards. She was screaming, but the adrenaline coursing through his veins had muffled everything. He looked into the barrel of the pistol, and then shifted his gaze up to the mugger. The mugger c...

50 year-old James Richardson held his daughter's hand and looked into her eyes, but it was hard to see through the tears. "Goodbye, Angela." He managed to say the words as he felt himself losing his grip on the world. Her words were lost to him, only the moving lips fading into nothingness. And then he was alone, surr...

Claude had awoken again, in a pool of his own sweat. His heartbeat shaking his hands as he struggled to lift his visor. His haunting bright green eyes staring back at him in the reflection. The pod was warm, and smelt of decay and dried bodily fluid. With the visor removed, he yanked out his feeding tube and life suppo...

“Play” Jon and Sally, hand in hand, looked at the sign above the door. “Sweet, this is the place then” said Jon. “Dave was raving about this place last week.” “He couldn’t stop talking about how awesome this game was.” “I dunno.

"Jon? Easy does it now. Can you sit up?” Neil sat up in his confused state of mind. Who was this guy talking to him? His voice sounded familiar but he couldn’t pinpoint it. Where was he? Was he just sleeping? What day is it? “We told you it was going to be weird getting up!” the man nervously joked with him. “Co...
