Myself, I was mid way through a VR pleasure cruise of the backwaters of the Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles Metaverse Experience. Aboard a Mississippi steamer, my weeks long homoerotic dalliance with the pallid and d... | 2 | 0 | 17 | 42,882 |
[WP] A new urban legend has appeared, and you know the truth. | You won't believe what these idiots come up with.
Newspapers, social networks, TV stations all talking about a goddamn lie.
It ain't even a good lie, I tell you.
It's fucking stupid.
They say there's a man in town killing women and leaving sheep wool at the scene every time.
Sheep wool!
They call him the "Sheep Slaye... | 2 | 0 | 3 | 42,883 |
[WP] A murder has been committed. Blood spread on walls. A sharp object is found in the chest, yet cause of death was trauma. Find out whodunnit and why? | Larry slumped back in his chair unable to breath. A dull numbness manacled about his throat, he could only stare at his screen. Each of his feed readers began to blink and ping, their colors and tones eerily similar indicating that they were relaying very similar news. “...found guilty…” was all that Larry could make o... | 1 | 0 | 5 | 42,884 |
[WP] You're on the dark side of the moon. Explain how you feel philosophically, about your position in the universe. | Stars puncture the darkness
With light older than the rock I sit on.
That light might have
Shown on races much older
Than ours.
That light might be
Showing on races
Just beginning.
Whatever goes on,
So far from the reach of
My grasp, my understanding,
I know that I will neither
Grasp, nor understa... | 1 | 0 | 1 | 42,885 |
[WP] Describe an urban setting | The city does sleep. But it sleeps uneasily and wakes early. Man won't let it sleep for long. He wakes it with the with the sound of a hundred thousand feet. The cohorts emptying out of the ashen gray brick dwellings, starting their numb march toward the gates of those satanic mills. Their towering chimneys reaching up... | 1 | 0 | 1 | 42,886 |
[WP] Describe an urban setting | There are odd nights when the sky glows with a dull, blood-orange color. Maybe the street lamps have been turned on too bright. Maybe it’s the light from apartments that reflects upon the clouds, where people just like me cannot find any sleep. Then again maybe it’s just my eyes deceiving me, or a trick from my mind tr... | 1 | 0 | 1 | 42,887 |

[WP] Daddy's on death row, and all evidence points to him... but he's innocent. | I stared, broken and helpless through the glass pane. Making out the outline of the figure entering the small room through the crusty glass, I could barely recognize him through the steady stream of tears that warped my vision. With each baby step caused by the belittling chains wrapped snug round his ankles, the hair ... | 5 | 0 | 14 | 42,889 |
[WP] Daddy's on death row, and all evidence points to him... but he's innocent. | Unable to tear her eyes away from his familiar face, Katie sat motionless. Silently weeping and praying that the Judge would be merciful. He looked so tired, the wrinkles that lined is face seemed deeper, and his usually happy and youthful eyes were filled with a deep sadness she'd never seen before. His head clean sha... | 1 | 0 | 14 | 42,890 |
[WP] Daddy's on death row, and all evidence points to him... but he's innocent. | Erin looked at her father through the six inch thick bullet proof glass, someone had scratched the word FUCK! on it. She looked up at the face of her father. It seemed like the orange jumpsuit had bleached him out, his face covered in worn out wrinkles. There was a small patch of gray around his temples, had that alway... | 1 | 0 | 14 | 42,891 |
[WP] Daddy's on death row, and all evidence points to him... but he's innocent. | I sat there in silence looking at my father. How could he have committed those murders? Just before this, he was given his last meal rice and spam. There was not a time I could remember my dad refusing spam. I looked at him through the window as he entered the romm, and I could hardly recognize him. Even at the age ... | 2 | 0 | 14 | 42,892 |
[WP] Daddy's on death row, and all evidence points to him... but he's innocent. | Every school in every town has one. No matter how well adjusted, no matter how suburban, there is always that one kid. The kid you hate but don't know why. I guess the why really doesn't matter, unless the kid is you. I hate being around others, everyone is always so careful when they are near me. Don't say the wrong... | 1 | 0 | 14 | 42,893 |
[WP] At the end of a long and bloody war, the victors realize they've been fighting a near-mindless automated defense system. | We marked the bodies of those we thought smelled the worst. They had to be burned.
"That one," I pointed.
"Come on man, he's like 300 pounds." Brian snared as he began to size up the weight of the body that lay sprawled before him.
"That's an order Soldier."

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town."
We'd rounded up the survivors, there wasn't much else left to do but count numbers. Twelve of us left. Twelve men from a company of two thousand, we stood at the end of a long and bloodied road. Three days ago we dug in at the b... | 32 | 0 | 33 | 42,895 |

[WP] At the end of a long and bloody war, the victors realize they've been fighting a near-mindless automated defense system. | The smoke was a veil, as motionless on the air as dust in a sunbeam, uncomfortably familiar in its smell.
“Be ready for anything,” he said.
Amira’s head sagged against his own, her arm slung too heavily across his shoulders, breathing ragged.

[WP] Civil war breaks out in the US, while you're on vacation in your enemy's territory. All travel between warring regions is banned and you clearly don't fit in with your surroundings. What do you do? | "I'm sorry.", I said. A tear hitting his temple, mixing with the rampant amount of blood. I pulled the knife out, and threw it into the grass. As I dragged the body into the bushes, I prayed I was being careful enough not to get anything on his clothes.
I quickly began to strip the clothes off of him. I inspected the... | 2 | 0 | 6 | 42,899 |
