[WP] A hunter accidentally catches a Sasquatch in one of his traps. However, instead of killing it or hauling it back to civilization in a cage- a conversation begins. |
Six days in the cold, freezing rain of the Pacific Northwest was not what Paul had signed up for. His boss had signed all the employees up for a Wilderness Survival class, as sort of a team-building exersize.
Most of the employees at the small web development company had never even been camping let alone survived ... | 2 | 0 | 15 | 38,078 |

You are 1 kilometer away from the exit of a cave you've been stuck in for 20 hours. | *My steps were deteriorated to a half limp, half trot. I stared only at the partially invisible ground, as if it was where I would have rather been. The dank cave I was cemented in smelled rank, although it was now comfort... I had been here for 20 extensive hours, wading in the chilling water of the cavern tunnels. I ... | 3 | 0 | 1 | 38,080 |
[WP] Every living thing is gradually starting to breath in unison. If you notice and try to stop, you'll ease back into the rhythm when your focus fades. | Julie and Zach had been dating for almost two years now. They had an apartment together, a yappy little dog that was mostly Julie's, and a shared life that was rapidly becoming more blasé. Zach worked at a firm that managed mutual funds. Julie was a pediatrician with a freshly begun practice of her own. Between payi... | 1 | 0 | 2 | 38,081 |
[WP] A Man has a conversation with his inner demons | The man loved silence, just not the incessant noise that it implies. He was gonna do it this time. The plush armchair claimed him, and he was coaxed into falling asleep. He was so close before he heard it.
Scrcrcrcr....scrcrrcrcrcr
He heard it, but dismissed it as nothing; maybe a mouse or a cat, or an imp or devil.

[WP] As we leave the earth (which is doomed to be obliterated by meteors), the last thing scientists do is (somehow) drain the oceans to find out, after all this time, what all is down there. Is it wondrous, or is it terrifying? | **June 22, 2123**

“Why won’t he stop screaming?”
“I don’t know. He was like this when we found him on the ridge: eyes bloodshot, up to his knees in seaweed, yelling gibberish.”

[WP] Everyday you pass by a painting, and you begin to realize that the painting is gradually becoming more lifelike. | "If you notice," the museum guide spoke softly, as if in reverence to the paintings, "the eyes seem to actually be following you."
Ishmael leaned left and right, watching the eyes. "Woah."
The young business man smiled as the eyes seeming to be staring into him. As the other guests moved on with the guide, Ishmael s... | 8 | 0 | 11 | 38,084 |
[EU] Combine JK Rowling and HP Lovecraft | I'd like to see this. Lovecraft seems to be one of the few authors that HP doesn't 'take inspiration' from. Might as well strike him off the list too. | 0 | 0 | 3 | 38,085 |
[EU] Combine JK Rowling and HP Lovecraft | Harry stared down in horror at his wand as tendrils of wood peeled back, shrinking and curving in on the fibrous sheath as the burning phoenix core was exposed to the dead chamber's air. Ron's blood was already running down the cold, stone steps while Hermoine's voiceless scream accompanied the swirling magical vortex ... | 3 | 0 | 3 | 38,086 |
[WP] A man is trapped inside a lighthouse after a large flood with few supplies. | The rain broke around sunset. I didn’t dare step outside. The gangway planks that surrounded the lightroom were unstable from the fierce waves a few nights ago.
In the morning I opened a can of oysters and ate two and then covered the tin with a sock to keep them fresh. A losing battle. I had never been a man that e... | 6 | 0 | 15 | 38,087 |

[WP] A man is trapped inside a lighthouse after a large flood with few supplies. | Allen Harland squeezed his eyelids shut and counted down from five before opening them. The barely perceptible cluster of lights in the distance remained where they were. Five times he had repeated this test and the result remained consistant. His heartrate accelerated as he allowed himself to accept with as much certa... | 2 | 0 | 15 | 38,089 |
[WP] A man is trapped inside a lighthouse after a large flood with few supplies. | As my eyes opened I winced, the sun was shining me with a bright yellow sheet for the first time in, well, since I got up here. As I rose from my makeshift cot, joints creaking, I wondered how long it had been. Glancing at my cracked watch I noticed it was already 1:00, past my usual waking time.

Two soldiers meet on a combat field, but they are identical twins who were spread at birth. | “Is that your best shot?” The soldier said through gritted, blood-drenched teeth, throwing up a mock wry smile. Another fist came from within the darkness, making the wet sound of its blow. Red rivers ran down his face and arms, to tampered wrists, which were bound with rope to a chair, standing solitary in the beamed ... | 3 | 0 | 5 | 38,094 |
[WP] Write about something that at first glance seems unimportant, but has a deeper metaphorical significance. | My hair is so messed up. Oh my god it's so ugly and tangled. I haven't really washed it or combed it in years. It's gotten to the point where I just want to cut it all off, just stop dealing with it all. I couldn't do that to my family though, seeing me like that, all exposed and naked. I have been trying this new thin... | 1 | 0 | 2 | 38,095 |

"How about a Rose? Sir, would you like to buy a rose?" An old woman extended her hand to me. two roses she held. One was white, dewy, pure. The other red, so red it looked like it had just bathed in the blood of a virgin.

[WP] Begin or end a story with: "My plans for my future? Find a girl, kiss her, take over the world." | Screens everywhere in the Area 51 complex come to life. They display a young man, likely in his mid-twenties in tan military fatigues smirking. Next to him is a man tied up in a chair, likely in his mid-fifties with salt-and-pepper hair.
