[WP] An astronaut witnesses a thermonuclear war from space | One point five hours. That is all it takes to whip around that cotton candy whipped blue and green sphere below. All day long, every day; a ceaseless yet imperceptible continual free fall towards the Earth. Light, then dark, and then light again... on and on. Always a sight to be seen; but then I had desired to be an a... | 1 | 0 | 52 | 8,284 |

[WP] An astronaut witnesses a thermonuclear war from space | Gagarin. Armstrong. York. *Freeman.*
Mission Commander Aaron Freeman smiled as he added himself to the holy trinity of manned spaceflight. The first man in space, the first man on the moon, the first woman on mars, and now, the first human to make contact with an alien civilization.
He spent almost every free period... | 1 | 0 | 52 | 8,286 |
[WP] An astronaut witnesses a thermonuclear war from space | Sometimes, I'd look at the planet with false colors.
Filtering out the albedo of clouds, the glare of reflected sunlight on the water. Just bare and complete, wrinkled mountains and soothing deserts devoid of life. I could stare at it for hours, in my enhanced gaze. A slight nod, and geo-political boundaries appeared... | 3 | 0 | 52 | 8,287 |

[WP] A bank robber walks into a bank, in progress of being robbed, and is taken hostage. | Fuck my luck.
With my face still resting on the cool marble tile, and my eyes still shut, the collection of voices merge together to form a single chaotic noise. Blood trickles down the side of my head, and into my ear. Involuntarily, I reach up with my hand, as if to swat the invisible fly that drifted into my eardru... | 13 | 0 | 30 | 8,289 |
[WP] A bank robber walks into a bank, in progress of being robbed, and is taken hostage. | "I have made," Drew muttered, sitting up slowly, "a grave miscalculation." None of the other hostages were too eager to start talking. That wasn't too surprising; many of them were already bleeding a little. The criminals, then, weren't scared to rough up their hostages. No surprise the back of his head hurt so much ei... | 5 | 0 | 30 | 8,290 |
[WP] A bank robber walks into a bank, in progress of being robbed, and is taken hostage. | We sat in the back of the van, the two of us. It was simple, but at the same time it seemed...so...different. I brushed of the feeling as soon as the van stopped. "I'll be waiting right round the back." Said Dan in that chill voice of his. We had a plan, we sneak round the back and blow the vault. We then make our esca... | 1 | 0 | 30 | 8,291 |

[WP] A bank robber walks into a bank, in progress of being robbed, and is taken hostage. | *Okay, Phil. Suck it up. Don’t be a pussy. You can do this.*
He rounded the street corner and walked west toward the bank building. He adjusted his jacket on his shoulders, never quite comfortable with heavy vest underneath.

[WP] All the water in the ocean suddenly drains away, leaving a barren, rocky wasteland. | With the threat of global warming and the melting of the ice caps, the last thing we were expecting was the ocean to start *falling*. But it happened quickly, and suddenly. A massive portal at the bottom of Challenger Deep opened, and that's when everything changed. Islands became continents. The continents became supe... | 3 | 0 | 3 | 8,294 |

[WP] Sesame Street begings introducing more advanced topics from mathematics (pi, e, i, phi, integrals, infinity, etc.) | Hello everyone. The episode of Sesame Street you've just seen probably went over some pretty big, complicated stuff, and I bet you out there are confused, and are probably wondering what it all means.
You see kids, a lot of the things Elmo and his friends talked about, like pi...no, not *that* pie, Cookie Monster...we... | 2 | 0 | 7 | 8,297 |

[WP] You are a member of an elite US Military unit who has had first contact with Zombies in the heart of Africa. | It always fun to rationalize killing them. It pretty much became a game of "Who can tell the best story?" You see, when someone's already dead, it doesn't matter what you do to them. If you're fighting an actual war, with living people, who have emotions and thoughts and maybe even families, then there's guilt. There's... | 3 | 0 | 3 | 8,299 |
