[WP] A man who has been dating a girl since elementary school goes to her father for her hand in marriage. The father says no. Tell us why and break our hearts.
Knowing this was his biggest obstacle left to clear, he knocked on the large front door, making sure to stay clear of the glass. He wanted as much time to mentally prepare as possible. "Hello, Dr. Singh," he said as her father swung the heavy door open. "Hello, Brian. So good to see you. Alana had mentioned you wanted...

He told me why. I don't like it. I told him it was a bad reason, I told him he didn't get that we loved each other and will always love eachother. Her daddy told me again. He said that we were not allowed to get married. His eyes got wet. I yelled at him to tell me why. I'm sorry I yelled. I yelled that we had b...

I pulled the blue velvet-covered box out of my pocket and showed it to him. His eyes took it in while he took a longer than usual drag on his cigarette, then he closed them and leaned back against the garage, exhaling a long smokey breath out his nose. "Why, David?" he said anxiously. "Why are you doing this to your...

We had been together since 2nd grade. Mrs. Murdoch had sat us next to each other and we had been inseparable ever since. It was 2 months into the school year and it was my first day. I had just moved to the city. Mrs Murdoch pointed at her brown curls and said, "have a seat next to Melissa." She would help me figure ...

The sky had been red this morning and I'd admired it from my bedroom, I'd thought it was beautiful, natural... This is not natural. The red in the sky never left, all morning, all afternoon. Now as the sun sets I'd assumed that the red would fade into the usual purple of night, still the red remains. This is not natura...

A flash of gleaming metal pulls me from my stupor as I walk to the bus stop. Nothing in Pittsburgh gleams. Urban decay isn’t a euphemism here. The city rots as I watch. What shines like that? It doesn’t matter. Distractions waste time, and time is the only currency graduate students have. There’s only twenty-four hours...

[WP] What the numbers really mean
I blinked. I had been *sure* that a few days ago, the numbers had been counting UP. That was what the challenge was, right? I clicked quickly to the Challenge thread, to double-check, but I couldn't find it. *huh*... I checked the person who submitted his writing. Sure enough, he had been counting up for a fe...

Phelps knew the bible said this would come. They never listen though. It's right there in the letter from Paul to the Corinthians. 'An angel did descend and tell the crowd that a day will come that they see a bright light in front of their faces in each of their homes. In that light they will see the numbers counti...

I never did trust Switzerland, I always thought they were seeking world domination or something. Boy do I wish I was wrong. And to think they gave hints through something that would be seen as crazy if it were told to us beforehand. They saved shit since WW1? WHAT! It's psychotic to think of it. They had more nukes tha...

Each tick from the clock echoed off the four gray, slate walls. Today the clock lacked character. It was plain, industrial, the same boring block numbers you’d see in any prison or school cafeteria. “I’m just not inspired by anything,” I whispered. The moderator crossed his arms and glared down at me, his silhouette b...

"I'VE FIGURED IT OUT!" yelled James as he burst into the house. "Jesus Christ Jamie, what are you talking about?" I questioned in a slightly sharper tone than intended. "The Numbers Cam! The Numbers! I finally got it!" A couple of years ago, green numbers had appeared over everyone's head. People had gone nuts! Math...

Jim kept copying and pasting the numbers from the web into excel and typing in various formulas. He leaned back, put his hands up behind his head and said, "What's this all mean?" He shrugged to himself and switched to an IM application as his furrowed his brow, reading the dozens of incoming messages. He adjusted hi...

They took us before we had time to plan. Or think. Or breathe. Every story was basically the same: midday doorbell ring, typical dry sales pitch, bag over the head, knocked unconscious. Out of the more than three hundred of us huddled in the clammy darkness, only a few were grabbed from the shadows. I’m convinced ...

[FF] The lights go out, there is one less person in the room
And for a split second, the entire world fell into darkness; a global blackout...a missing sun. Nobody panicked - we weren't told about the blackout but this had happened before, and for longer. Last time must have been some sort of practice - nobody really knew what for, though. Nobody ever questioned the blackout ei...

[FF] The lights go out, there is one less person in the room
The lights go out, and I stumble in pain. I open my eyes and see absolutely nothing. Fear consumes me upon realizing I've lost. Lost this contest, lost my vision. This is no way to live. Permanently lost in darkness. It must end. I stab. Inwards.

I've always dreamed of the perfect vacation; Christine always talked about going to France. It's hard and all, being a widowed father, with a two year old. Ever since Christine died, I couldn't find solace in my daily life. This vacation is exactly what I needed, just me and Charlie. Charlie was absolutely enamored by ...

[FF] The lights go out, there is one less person in the room
When the lights go out I tell her everything will be ok. I feel her let go before the lights come back on. "Honey where are you," I shout into the train. She can't be far, she must be hiding. "Hannah, come back to mommy right now!" I'm afraid when I hear no answer. "Hannah, where are you honey?" I can't fin...

Alter your state of consciousness and write something.
I really like this challenge, but my preferred method of altering my consciousness requires a bit more dedication, so I can't do it on a Sunday night before work. If next weekend is as boring as this weekend was, I really want to give it a shot.

I said i'd write something, and here we go. This was brough to you by about 600 mics of LSD. I've since edited it for mostly spelling and grammar, with just minimal changing of the story I originally wrote while tripping. ----- "Spider?" "Spider here." "Are we there yet?" "You know I don't have a facial represent...
