[WP] Citizenship exists as a literal contract between the government and the governed signed and notarized at 18. Until now, everyone has signed. | *Go to a administrative section near your home to sign your citizenship!* _ said the poster on the wall. They say everyone signs this contract. Ever since citizenship became "optional" 50 years ago, no one declined to sign the contract at 18. Ok, sure, some people procrastinate and do it at 19 or even 20.

[OT] A new tag to continue a story? | We had a tag [CS] for Continuing Story where each user would write part and leave the rest for another writer to pick up. These prompts were exceedingly rare, though, and only a small portion of them gained traction. This prompt type was recently removed as a result. | 3 | 0 | 1 | 42,574 |

[OT] A new tag to continue a story? | hey,
we actually used to have a [CS] tag for this very type of prompt but it was removed. you can search for it in the sub to get an idea why--they rarely gained the traction and attention to make them work. there are also other subs that have this as their raison d'etre, so we defer to their better content. :)

[WP] Argument supporting the building of a Death Star | "Fear will keep the systems in line!"
"Fear? But at what cost? You're talking about genocide? Xenocide!"
The consultant sighed. Tarkin had a reputation as a bit of a sentimentalist and he'd come into the meeting expecting this kind of thing. Namby pamby bureaucratic bantha-shit is what he'd call it, but you don'... | 5 | 0 | 1 | 42,578 |
[WP] Write a story that involves two men, a woman, a gun, a lawnmower, and a teddy bear. | Jack pulled back the hammer on his new gun. He didn't know what kind of gun it was. He'd just walked into the gun shop and pointed at the one that looked like a vengeful cowboy would own it. Three days ago he'd bought it after watching his wife's infidelity through the teddy-cam hidden in their bedroom.

“Woman, get your godforsaken ass over here now!”
Betty cautiously poked her head through the torn and tattered screen door. The palm of her hand, positioned against the frame, was met coarse rust that had accumulated over the years. It was the only door remaining on their trailer o... | 2 | 0 | 5 | 42,580 |
[WP] Write a story that involves two men, a woman, a gun, a lawnmower, and a teddy bear. | Glen quickly walked into the house, with one hand behind his back, and walked over to where his wife sat.
"Where's Amy?" He asked, struggling to sound cheerful. His wife, Ariel, looked up from her book curiously.

[WP] Write a story that involves two men, a woman, a gun, a lawnmower, and a teddy bear. | "Max, you couldn't possibly be done just yet, can you?" said Mrs. Heart as I turned off the lawnmower.
"I believe I am?" I said, my voice shaking with uncertainty.
"Well, you did miss that spot just over there, didn't you? Shame, shame, how much are we paying you an hour?" Mrs. Heart said in a condescending voice.

/u/Sakanagai leaned back into his highback pinned-leather chair, a large pile of upvotes on the top of the beautiful wooden table on which his feet rest. Next to him, a monitor bank and a case containing an M-16.

[WP] A complete stranger gives you the nicest compliment you've ever received | Whoa... What a long day. Almost 60 hours at work this week, but the overtime pay makes it worth it. By my math, I'll have enough saved by the end of the month to get that new truck I've had my eye on. Let me clarify new for you, it's 9 years old, but it will be the newest vehicle I've ever had.

[WP] Write about someone confessing while ordering pizza. | "Yeah I did, I fucked her brains out you happy?"
Not typically the response Brian was used to when he answered the phone and asked, "Domino's pizza, how can I help you?"

[WP] Write about someone confessing while ordering pizza. | Michael was covered in sweat from swinging the hammer. It ran down his forehead and into his eyes. His bangs were wet and straightening themselves with each swing as his hair normally had a bit of curl to it. The padlock on the drawer handle was weakening with each hit, but so was he.
"Fucking open you fucker!"

[PM] Three aliens have come to earth as visitors. Give me a situation to write them in. | Having only recently arrived on Earth, they come across a run of the mill hotdog stand, and decide to experience some "earthly cuisine" first-hand.

At first, it wasn't so bad. The reaping of a soul, it was as easy as breathing. Their 'self' was so clear and weightless.

[WP] What if Death was afraid of us? | "Hello, my friend. Are you well?"
The old man glanced around the operating room. Several doctors, who had been running back and forth, stood motionless around the room. Nothing was moving in the open space. Everything appeared frozen in time. The old man glanced up at the hooded figure that crouched beside him.
