[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
I was eating with Dad when the Courier came dashing in. His chest was heaving and his breath sounded like it was tearing his lungs apart. "He's back!" Dad and I hesitated for a moment. Just a moment, then we sprang to our feet, knocking back the aluminum bench we were sitting on. We didn't wait for the Courier. We...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
The inhabitants rose from their cryogenic slumber. This could only mean one thing. The Earth was habitable once more! The shelter had been designed with an AI programmed to care for the inhabitants and only awaken them from their sleep when it was safe to go outside. It had been given information concerning the human w...

[WP] After many, many years, a nuclear fallout shelter opens the blast doors to find that the outside world is a paradise
Straining metal, years of grit, grime and caked up soil fell from the large doors slowly opening ahead. It had been years since the first bombs fell, hurled by clandestine satellites formerly believed to be watching weather formations. But that hadn't been the surprise. Not to me. You see, I was stationed at a centr...

Oh man, if only I could play this as some type of video game, it would be tough but that company that made those Elder Scrolls games could probably do it, what was their name again? Man that would be awesome... Seriously though awesome reads, there's a reason this is my favorite subreddit, 10/10.

Heartbeats are a peculiar thing. Resting, unflapped and at ease the heart languidly beats -- ba dum, ba dum -- a beat so soft it can hardly be discerned amidst the crashing of thought against consciousness. But excited -- spiked by fear, amazement, curiosity, the thrill of a not entirely earned but well cherished lif...

As the first autumn leave fell to the floor, the nuclear bomb exploded, taking away millions of lives and stories and memories. You can tell the story of one of those people, or even a couple or group of people, or a building.

[WP] A speech from the leader of a rich nation, who has decided to go to war on a poor nation. (details in text)
What we do in life, echoes (short pause for effect) in eternity (faint but distinct echo of microphone, dead silence among the gathered crowd). We have only one time, in our lives, to choose, either the good, or the evil. We have only one time, in our lives, to choose, fear, or love. We have only one time, in our li...

[WP] A speech from the leader of a rich nation, who has decided to go to war on a poor nation. (details in text)
My fellow Citizens, tonight I stand before you to speak about justice. Earlier today anarchist groups from our poor, outer areas fired on our fair city. The lawless nature of our outer sectors has finally spread to the heart of our great Mega City. Tonight we will launch a retaliatory attack. Our Judges have upheld th...

[WP] A speech from the leader of a rich nation, who has decided to go to war on a poor nation. (details in text)
It is tonight that I've made my decision. I, as the leader of this great, wealthy, powerful land, must retaliate. Sadly it is against those who are less fortunate than us, they are the ones who have wronged us. It is not with pride that we must go to war. It is not, with wrath, that we must go to war. It is with the ...

[WP] When their superiors aren’t listening, two soldiers from recently hostile sides trade verbal barbs and bond across both sides of a little-used border crossing.
Immediately, I think of the DMZ between North and South Korea. or the North Korea China border.

[WP] Embarrassment. That's your name, my love.
Of course it had to happen on a Tuesday. Fucking Tuesdays. Anyway, the day had finally arrived, and I dressed accordingly. White button up dress shirt, sleeves rolled up to expose my forearms, paired with dark blue jeans, and finished with dark brown, western style boots made from a soft, flexible leather. The boots we...

[WP] Embarrassment. That's your name, my love.
Thirty two students in the class. That makes thirty two chairs and thirty two desks sitting neatly in three sets of two columns. The desks in the middle have five adjacent seats. That means if I get a middle desk I'll have a five in thirty two chance of sitting next to her. Thats pretty good i think, right? Wait, but ...

[WP] Embarrassment. That's your name, my love.
I buttoned up my shirt one last time as she sat on the hotel bed, tears ruining her make-up. Tossing my head to either side to crack my neck, I closed the button at my collar and started tying my tie. I checked my watch idly as I flipped the end around the tail - 12:27. Plenty of time to get back to work. "Ryan... Rya...

[WP] A would-be hero trying to stop a robbery instead gets fatally shot in the altercation. Write his monologue as he dies.
They said that I could be anything that I wanted to be when I grew up. I just had to believe in myself they said. Like any idealistic child I wanted to be an astronaut, or a fireman. Something heroic. Looking back it seemed foolish, like the setup for a cruel joke. I grew up to be an ordinary man, an ordinary office jo...

[WP] A would-be hero trying to stop a robbery instead gets fatally shot in the altercation. Write his monologue as he dies.
I left my car on. Here I am, bleeding out on the floor, and all I can think about is that I left my car running. The sign clearly says "Do not attempt to pump gasoline while your car is running." I mean, I don't have any excuses at this point. I always turn my car off. The sign clearly states...turn your car off. I ...

Guess the gun was real, then. God, this hurts. My hands are cold. That light's broken. Needs a new thing. Strip? Bulb strip? Please, don't move me. It hurts too much. Don't cry. I'll be okay.

*Brown eyes* My handbag spills on the floor. Such a mess. And I am dying now, and I'll never get the chance to clean it up. I want to make it tidy; gather up those scattered odds and ends and bundle them up neatly. And I cant. I am dying now - a bright red I suppose - and I'll never get the chance to clean it up. ...

[WP] A would-be hero trying to stop a robbery instead gets fatally shot in the altercation. Write his monologue as he dies.
I still can't quite pinpoint the moment when I decided that the robbery was a bad idea. The hostage, the cop, Mickey, me. And it's not a matter of one robbery, it's all robberies. You might say I had an epiphany, a sudden change of heart. Life didn't have to be about casing joints. When Mickey held his gun to that h...
