[IP] Story of a House
Raiko took one last look at the house she was leaving. The inside was dark, making the building appear to loom in the darkness. She really did love that house, and she couldn't help but remember all the years she had spent there. Raiko had moved into the house five years prior, when she was 13. She and her partner, Hi...

[IP] Story of a House
4220 Beck St- Detroit, Michigan- Atop the grassy knoll, quietly sitting next to a veteran’s cemetery, *Redhead* as it was known sat in silence. The home did not display any grandeur with its fading stucco walls. In fact, the rotting trees on its yard recounted the story within its walls. The entire house confessed...

[FF] You discover that your waitress is Jesus.
It had been a long day. After dealing with shit at the office, day in, day out, all I needed was a drink. The door chimed and caught on the scuffed linoleum as I pushed my way into the restaurant. I took a seat and began to unwind from the day's troubles. That's when I saw her. The waitress was stunning. She h...

[WP] The Canadian and Mexican militaries initiate a combined invasion of the US with non-intervention pacts from the UK and the EU
Class, please turn to page 134 in your “U.S. History, 2000 to Present.” About mid-way down the page, you’ll come to a subheading titled “The Canadian-Mexican Invasion of 2021.” Now, I realize the war only lasted 28 minutes, but I’d like you all to write me three pages – no more, no less – on the causes of the war, w...

[WP] The Canadian and Mexican militaries initiate a combined invasion of the US with non-intervention pacts from the UK and the EU
John Fitzgerald was sweating in his cold weather gear. The temperature was well below zero, but with all of the gear strapped to his back, the armor on his torso, and the rifle in his gloved hands, he was breaking a sweat. His squad leader gave the signal. John and his squadmates rose from behind their cover. They took...

[Nathan Private first class Northern Front] "It's as cold as balls out here." Gruffed Phillip. "Yeah, but at least we'll be able to get extra rations from the mess hall when our shift is over." I say the disinterest dripping from my voice. We've had this conversation at least twenty time sense being deployed into Canad...

I seem to be stuck. I don't know "why" the conflict starts yet... any ideas? Here's what I have so far... Elected on the slogan of “America is not the World Police,” Peace Party President Schumacher recalled forces worldwide, reduced the size of the fleet to 5 aircraft carriers and support ships, ordered a public i...

The pentagon was in its normal stir, chaotically messy, with people doing their work in a vast network of hallways and computers. A lone figure runs through one of the hallways, he has purpose. He will be someone soon, he just doesn't know it yet. He burst through a door: "COMMANDER, CANADIANS HAVE JUST GONE THROUGH ...

"Mommy, whats wrong with Sam?" The little girl looked confused with a glimmer of awe as she stared at her brother laying in the bed. His face was pale; only six years old and he held onto a teddy bear almost as if grasping it for life. "He's just sick;" Sarah said, trying to comfort her 8 year old as she held back the ...

[WP] Write an uplifting and inspiring story that ends with these 2 sentences:
"Mommy, why's the machine making all that noise?" Charlie asked. "That's the heart monitor. When they took the sensors off you it got confused..." She stopped speaking, all choked up. She felt silly. Tears of joy were such a cliche. "The machine thinks my heart stopped, huh?" "That's right, Charlie. Isn't that silly...

(I missed the part about it being inspiring and uplifting. Oops. :) The paintings hung in the waiting room for years. Children climbed up in their seats to look at them, admiring the detail.

We all boarded the craft. We all sat down. We all shared the same fears, aboard the great airship we were on. We had no idea how powerful the crash would be, but we all secretly thought it might happen. "Curious name for a airship, Hindenburg."

They almost refuse to let me on the train. I arrive at the last minute, running up to the turnstile, out of breath and energy. The ticket-taker looks me up and down, examining my frayed clothing, tattered shoes, disheveled hair, and ratty backpack, flung over one shoulder and only half-zipped. He fixes me with a glare...
