[WP] God creates light because he is afraid of the dark, or whatever is hiding there. | I created myself because I yearned to exist.
I created the universe because my existence demanded one.
I did not create the dark. It was always there. Darkness preceded me, and I resented it for that. I should have known better. I should have just left it be, but I was young, and arrogant. I could not comprehend the ... | 40 | 0 | 86 | 40,373 |

[WP] God creates light because he is afraid of the dark, or whatever is hiding there. |
God created light because he was afraid of the dark. Not that there was some eldritch abomination lurking away in the shadows, not because there was some celestial need to create and diversify the universe, God created light because he was like us. He was lonely. So lonely it caused him to make the biggest mistake of... | 2 | 0 | 86 | 40,375 |

A constant flame within thine eyes, engulfs all but the country side.

[WP] God creates light because he is afraid of the dark, or whatever is hiding there. | When the child appeared, it was alone. It cried and cried and cried, but no one came. As it grew older, it began to crawl through the darkness, still wailing for its mother but to no avail. As the child developed, the repetitive noise gave way to words but the child still wandered and tripped through the darkness compl... | 1 | 0 | 86 | 40,378 |
[WP] God creates light because he is afraid of the dark, or whatever is hiding there. | Everything was great in the darkness. I was content. I had all the time in the world to think of anything I wanted - math, physics, you name it.
And then the noises started. I wandered nervously throughout the expanse of space and it always seemed to just get away. I could not name this sound or the creature thing fr... | 2 | 0 | 86 | 40,379 |
[WP] God creates light because he is afraid of the dark, or whatever is hiding there. | My father was but a whisper. He created me out of the nothingness and the expanse of the universe. In the middle of it all, I dangled there no brighter than the ember of a hushed fire. Flame hadn't existed then but I knew that it was. I wasn't frightened in the beginning. It was quite peaceful before I rose my own chi... | 2 | 0 | 86 | 40,380 |
[WP] A group of friends find a swimming pool in an abandoned building. | That a pool resided in this building wasn’t strange. It was just… unexpected. Here we were in a place that was so foreign, so exotic, so delightfully dangerous to our young minds. I don’t think any of us had even conceived of the possibility that this building had represented anything else in its history. And yet life ... | 3 | 0 | 11 | 40,381 |
[WP] A group of friends find a swimming pool in an abandoned building. | There were no leaves or branches, no insect colonies or dead animals.
It was a crystal clear pool, abandoned along with the building. But while the structure around it had decayed and broken; it stayed pure and untouched.

[WP] A group of friends find a swimming pool in an abandoned building. | I remember seeing a woman standing in this sauna doorway 15 years ago. She was wearing a bright red bikini, her black hair sticking to her sweat smeared neck, my 8-year old brain being in subtle awe at her unashamed womanhood. I don’t step in, just stare. I’m not even sure why I’m here.
I turn my back to the wooden ca... | 2 | 0 | 11 | 40,383 |
[WP] A group of friends find a swimming pool in an abandoned building. | The house loomed in front of us, dusty leaves whispering past in the chilly wind. It was the end of the summer, and though everywhere else was sunny and warm, this house had shadows on every surface. I was there with my friends, a stupid dare for stupid high schoolers. It was a creepy house and definitely unsafe. So of... | 1 | 0 | 11 | 40,384 |
[WP] As a child you saw your parent as a person from Mythology. | His eyes blazed. The car roared down the track with all the fury it could muster. It moved to please him, to rear itself to the level of his power. He seemed to propel it with a look alone. Suddenly it seemed that he and the car were one. He roared across the sky, building speed, gaining power, moving with such a force... | 1 | 0 | 11 | 40,385 |
[WP] As a child you saw your parent as a person from Mythology. | I started ululating, signalling my brothers to attack. They responded with the same Indian war whoop spreading terror to Pan's sons.

[WP] Jack the Ripper was actually just a kid. | *November 9th, 1888*
*3 A.M.*
Raindrops landed softly on the stone pathways of Whitechapel, one of the London districts. The past months were hectic to say the least. Four murders over the month of September, all of which were prostitutes, followed by a month of fear and hiding. The women of the streets were only ... | 7 | 0 | 29 | 40,389 |

[IP] "Alone on the Road" | ##"Angry"
The fluffy, white, cotton-candy clouds drift slowly through the sky, gently, as if trying to rip themselves from the skyscrapers that have stabbed into their bellies without doing too much damage to the buildings in the process, for the buildings know not what they do.
