[WP] In a spectacular "fuck you" to the world, Google and all of its branches (yes, even YouTube) shut down. Closed. For good. No warnings, no previous musings that it might happen. Tell me a story of how "day five" might be going.
The first day was a shock. Almost as a gift from heaven. In all my years working at this dump, I have never heard a silence be as deafening as the very moment our branch manager announced to the floor that Google shut down. Our PR branch was losing their shit that day when all the employees in their sector each had to...
Bill Gates smiled. Already the richest man in the world, his worth had quadrupled as Microsoft's stock when up in the past week. Surely he could rid the world of malaria now. And even better was the feeling the wave of change in public opinion, of respect... He clicked play on the next Vimeo video. Buying Vimeo, Daily...

I remember the day it happened. It was July 25. I was watching a Youtube video about some guy creating a fidget spinner using gallium. Halfway through the video, I got bored and decided a new video it is. I saw another video about how lizard people run the world in my recommendation list. When I clicked it, an error pa...
The vending machines at the service station sold out of Sprite first. I thought it would have been the Jack Links Jerky, but that went soon enough after the Sprite. There must have been two dozen or so of us camped out there at the rest stop. Once Maps went down we stopped off to see what was up. We saw soon enough...

Tim Cook woke up in the morning like any other day. After showering, trimming his stubble, and dowsing himself in cologne, he felt energized and ready to pump money out of more consumers.

Day 5: Chaos consumes the world. Today I created a Yahoo email account and wept. Mindy from work is upset; her husband tried to go to a new coffee shop and, using Apple maps, ended up somewhere in Florida. I fear that we all might find ourselves in Florida one day. Ginger and I haven't spoken in 36 hours. We had a te...

[WP] You're God and you've finally done it, your greatest creation, the dog.
Finally, my greatest creation it was, but... hmm, there was something missing... "Oh yes, a tail" I spread my arm saying "Let there be a cute tail!" "woof woof!" said the creature, while turning around chasing its new fluffy tail. Hmm, turning around... that gave me a good idea, "How about... we turn my name around ...
**You! Come here, elf.** I'm an angel, your supreme divine ruler. **Same thing, really. Anyhoo, yes, 'tis I, God. Grab yourself a beer out of the fridge and check this shit out.** What is it? **I know, right? I've done some great things in my tenure. Mountains. Sunsets. The whole me damn universe. But this is-- wa...
[WP] The Grim Reaper is not a robed, skull like figure. He's a cab driver who picks up people who just died and don't realize it yet.
"Excuse me, I don't think this is the fastest way" I said, biting my nails and trying to maintain composture, he had taken many wrong turns. "Believe me, it is. I took this path countless times." He answered, his voice was silvery and peaceful. I furrowed my brows, "maybe you didn't hear the address correctly, we sho...
“Where to, pal?” The cab driver asked MacReady while a steady, thin stream of smoke flowed from his lit cigar and out the open window, into the night. It had been ages since he'd seen a cabbie smoking a cigarette on the job in this city, much less a smelly cigar (how some people enjoyed the odor of those things he'd n...

**Hi** "Hey" Death looked upon his new passenger as he stepped into the backseat. Young, not even twenty, and with a slight smile on his face. Not a happy smile, more like it's just what his face looks like when it's relaxed, or like he's pretending to be happy. **So where to?** "What? Oh, right, taxi. Um, just tak...
[WP] A Detective makes a deal with Death. He has 48 hours to solve his own murder
Death was wearing mismatched socks. It’s strange where one’s eyes and mind wander to in stressful situations. Looking down at your own bloodied body probably counted as one. “Your socks don’t match,” Carter muttered, keeping his eyes toward the ground, while also somehow simultaneously being a dead body. “Who gives ...
The lit end of the detective's cigarette was the only bright point in a world of shifting greys. "Hell of a thing for a Sunday," he said to Lance. His hand sketched out a wide arc that took in the overflowing gutter, the corpse lying slumped in it, and the two of them, standing where the blood mingling with the rainw...
[WP] A Detective makes a deal with Death. He has 48 hours to solve his own murder
"I've always admired your work," said Death. He was leaning against an overgrown elm situated in the back corner of the cemetery. Around him, old tombstones sat weathered with age and their barely legible numerals spoke of precious visits. Propped against one of the rotting stones was the Detective. His corpse showed t...

You can assume a host of powers in your character already formed and honed. But do tell us what powers they have, what they got it from and how it links. Give us something fun and entertaining! edit: I'd like to thank everyone that responded to the prompt, everyone who upvoted (and downvoted - yes, your opinions matte...
[WP] You have an unusual superpower - you absorb one ability of anything that bites you and breaks your skin. You get bitten by a dog? You suddenly have super hearing. Stung by a jellyfish? Immortality. For the first time in your life - you are bitten by a human.
The first time I was Bitten was by my cat. At first it was a bite like any other, I yelped at the sharp pain blossoming from the back of my hand, and watched the crimson droplets slowly well up from the wound. I was entranced. Staring at the blood, I knew something was different this time. I'd been bitten before, but t...
Life was pointless if you're a piece of chicken breast. I gasped as I could smell my incredibly tasty, crispy skin. "Mmmmm..." I found myself saying, as I licked my delicious, greasy, heart destroying lips. "What...in the f--" That's when I realized that while I was enjoying my deliciousness, someone else was also e...
[WP] You live with your struggling single mom. It's your 21st birthday and a unknown individual comes to your home and says he's your father and his name is Zeus.
Author note: Ahem... I have taken some liberties. Not in the enslaving way that governments do, but in the artistic sense... but you probably already guessed that. I had started living in Japan at the age of ten when a scientist busted me out of the research facility and sent me to some of his friends who lived there....
They say never meet your heroes. My hero was the dad that I never met. He was everything a father should be: smart, kind, gentle, every cliché in the book. He loved my mother and I, but he had to go away on a long business trip. He was a pilot whose plane travelled around the world for years at a time. He didn’t write...
[WP] In a lucid dream, you find something you really want to hold onto and make an effort to bring it with you to the real world when you wake up.
I grabbed hold, with all my might, muscles screaming, body aching, my mind telling me to just let go, to give up. *No*, I scream into the night, *I will not give up!* I have been searching for too long, wanting, needing for too long. I can't let go now. I wake up, sweating, my bed is damp with sweat for the struggle, a...
See, sometimes you just look at something, you know, and you know you have to keep it. You have to have it. And I saw it. I saw it when I was waiting in the rain. And I felt the rain: I felt it. I felt it on my shoulders. They say this is a dream; I don’t believe it. So I take the rain. I seize it. I raise my hands,...
[WP] A long time ago, you were given the chance to become immortal. You accepted without a doubt. But you never actually thought you would outlive the human race.
I walked along the gravel, which now covers the earth almost completely. The once vivid blues and greens which were sprinkled upon this living geode has all decayed to nothing but reds and Greys. Makes me wonder if Mars had life. I sit upon the gravel, besides the last. I groaned in discomfort as the blanket I woul...
When I was little, a long time ago, I used to play in the snow outside of my home with my siblings. We'd play tag. I'd tag someone "Tag, you're it." and run away, and we would play for hours or so long as we could until someone got hurt. It seems inevitable that when children play, they play until someone gets hurt. I...
[WP] A long time ago, you were given the chance to become immortal. You accepted without a doubt. But you never actually thought you would outlive the human race.
"You were made to suffer a fate even harder, my child who fears death. Will you still accept it?" "Yes," she said, and life with all its darkness clung to her from that moment on. --- The last feeling was nostalgia. A sense in her body that time had passed, things had changed, and all the insignificant details were ...
It would've surprised most people that 2000 years after the turn of the 20th century the world looks the same. The trees are tall, the grass is green. The oceans are blue, and the polar ice caps remain intact. The last human died over 500 years ago, and yet the world turns. Nature thrives, the cool rain comes, the irre...
[WP] A long time ago, you were given the chance to become immortal. You accepted without a doubt. But you never actually thought you would outlive the human race.
The year was 2014. I was interning at a reputable university for the summer, performing state of the art research. But on this particular day, July 1st, I was relaxing with my fellow interns under the cool shade of a grand oak tree. Filled with blossoming passion and sophomoric curiosity, we asked all the unanswerable ...
(let me start by saying i am writing on a phone so it might be rubbish, and it is 12:08 am and i am 13 years old. Thank you.) I looked around not really knowing what to do now. There was nothing. I remember not two hours ago talking to the cashier at tesco and now im in a crater and its all on fire. My day started as...

**entry_381599_final_entry** Who would have knew I would outlive humanity. If there was still a historian alive, it would probably be called ancient time or maybe even past that. I lost track of time a couple million years ago while floating through space on my generation ship (maybe billions? I don't know). Well, it'...

Its gotten to the point now, years are like days and each one passes as I drift endlessly into the dark expanse of space. Not only did I outlive humans, but the entire solar system.

[WP] You are the least gifted member of your superhero family. You generally lead an ordinary life, except when your various family members beg you help them solve their super problems.
The biggest problem with my superpower, is the fact that I have one at all. No, really. I was given the worst of both worlds. I'm not a "normal" person. I can't go to regular schools, or play in regular sporting teams, but I'm also useless in any situation that requires a hero to save the day. Well, technically that'...
My superpower was...not having one. When people heard my surname, they instantly linked me to any one of my illustrious family members, be it my courageous father, my vivacious mother or my surprisingly strong brother. All of them had saved people before. I had saved none. But my power, or lack thereof, had indirectly...
[WP] You are a demon in disguise, faking a cold near a church so a pastor will 'bless you'.
The cold sets on my skin like dew on a leaf, embellishing a beauty on me that otherwise would not exist. I feel empowered by its clutch like the warm embrace of an old friend. Ha. Its dark and only the dim light of the top of the lampost illuminate the cobbled streets of which the old church lies alongside. Pinhead pe...
The half-naked weakling limped along the silver-like path, deep green trees shaped into tall cones stood uniformly either side all the way to the church courtyard.

[WP] You are a demon in disguise, faking a cold near a church so a pastor will 'bless you'.
The plan was simple, get in, get blessed and get out. I don't think anyone of my friends would willingly go into a holy space. Not that it really does anything it's just a bit awkward.

Carlos hunched in the alcove, fuming. The man of the cloth hadn’t even looked up this time. Carlos gave another experimental cough, but the cleric didn’t even flinch. He would have to ham it up.

This is it, the moment I've been waiting for. Blessed day, blessed day are the words I hear in my head.

You've practiced your sneeze a hundred times, with tickles and pepper and all sorts of tricks. It finally sounded completely natural to even the supernatural ear, namely, yours.

For years, I have battled the Gandor, the Arch Priest of Romania. I shred livestock, and tempted men to violence and women to infidelity.

I would say I did a pretty fine shiver myself. It wasn't that hard.

Hell seemed enthralling when the Abyss gave birth to me.

Hell seemed enthralling when the Abyss gave birth to me.

The parishioners stream past, a splash of humanity on this otherwise colourless sidewalk. Most of them hardly take notice of my plight, and it is the rare one who stops to tip a dollar into my cup. Guess there’s not much to spare once the church wrings them dry. I inch a bit closer to the church for a better look, pas...

Maloch dithered in the courtyard of the small church, watching the pastor welcome his parishioners with a kindly smile. The small line of locals trickling into the church was becoming shorter by the minute. Soon, the pastor would close the door and condemn him to another week of torture - he *couldn't* return to Hell...
[WP] Your GPS starts giving you directions for your life.
It read- Directions for your life. Pretty catchy for a shady looking gps app. But then again, no other app seemed to work after rooting my phone.

"Turn left to reach your destination" Greedle chimed. I turned automatically.

The darkness covered the city as my weary legs dragged me home from a late shift at the factory. The street lamps were either flickering or burned out, the city didn't have much funding to repair since they decided to subsidize the cost of buying pills. The pills used to cost an arm and a leg to get, the only damn pill...
23rd April 2189 I have no money left thanks to that stupid drug of there's. "If you want to live take these, forever" and they actually meant forever. It wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't so dam expensive. I have no more money tomorrow's dose. I accept my fate and will die in peace knowing no one will miss me...

I carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the last of my rations for the week. It was unlike the rations they had in the wars we were taught about in history class. These were not for basic necessities like food and fuel but rather for a single precious resource. It hleld the line against humanity's worst enemy; ...

After I ran out of money I said goodbye to my friends and family, according to the doctor I'd die before the sunset. Surprisingly enough I survived until the morning, a few days had passed since then. One of my friends was a bio engineer, he tested some of my blood to see what was going on. Turned out the bacteria that...

"Well this is awkward." "What is?" The prostitute lying next to me replied. She rolled over and propped herself up on one bruised elbow. In the cold, morning light she looked worse than she had bathed in the sick, drunken neon of the night before. "I'm pretty sure I should be dead," I replied. I'd picked her up t...

I woke up this morning. When she asked me if she could spend the night, I won't lie, my heart hadn't raced like that in ages. It had to be her. I felt my senses come alive -- to be quickly dashed apart by the horrible reminder that I was almost seventy-two hours since I quit caffeine. I could barely remember the las...

I have to go to bed like right now, but here's a quick idea, screenplay-style: (Yada yada yada, adventuring and such) George Soros: Yes, you see, it was all a ploy. Sure, the disease causes much pain. But it doesn't really kill you. You see, [gets eye to eye with the main character] fear motivates profit. (Yada yada...

One pill was left in the box. It was from a box of thirty, Tyler knew. They came in thirty packs on months that had thirty days, thirty-one on the others, except for a special edition for February. They always had the right amount: never more and never less. But yesterday was April, and today was May, and there was one...

I sat, staring up at the ceiling. Why wasn't I dead yet? Was I dead? The pills had always had bad side effects on me, and I could barely think. Now, it was like I was a little boy. The past... 20? years had gone by in a fog. I could think clearly again. Was the disease a lie? In the beginning, I saw tons of bodies, lit...

I yawn, mouth wide. The sun breaks through the blinds covering all two of the windows in my little box of a room. My computer monitor flickers on as I groan bleary eyed dropping my feet to the floor. "Wonder how that disease is going?" I mutter to myself as I type my password into the command prompt. The smell of cof...

Money was life, that was how it worked. If you can't pay, you won't live on. Or at least that was what we were told. My medicine had run out and according to the timer I had maybe ten minutes left to live. All my work would fade into obscurity, whether it be my activism or my personal life. I called up my girlfriend D...

I woke up to a splitting headache, the likes of which I have never experienced before. The sickness had arrived. I tried to stand up, but a tsunami of nausea immediately threw me down. Was this the end? I couldn't see much, as my vision was failing quickly, but it was certainly well past morning. The sunlight pierced s...

As I laced my tattered shoes on my aching feet, I could feel my heart pulsating in my ear drums. I'd never been so afraid. Never felt so alone. It even took me a few moments to realize that I'd been fumbling hopelessly with my laces because of how much my hands were shaking. I took a deep breath and repeated the same w...
