[WP] Time travel exists. You have met your future daughter, and know who you are going to marry. Your life is pretty much planned out. Thing is, you just met someone new, and you're very sure they are your soulmate. And they aren't your future spouse. | When I was seventeen, I decided to take a trip into the future and find out if I would have any children. I would: one girl, Lydia. She told me that my future husband and I adopted her.
*Oh, that’s why she doesn’t look a bit like me*, I thought. *Well, cool. I don’t have to push her out of my body to get her.*
Lydia ... | I've never been lucky when it comes to love. Throughout my entire time at high school, I sat by idly while everyone else seemed to find multiple people to date and hook up with, but I was too deep into reading and writing to experience that.

[WP] You’re a tattoo artist who has just opened up shop, business isn’t booming but you have a steady flow of casual customers, one thing the customers don’t know is that what ever you put on their skin comes reality. One day you say “fuck it” and go all out. | A small bell jingled as the door opened, and a broad-shouldered man entered the shop, “Welcome to Bound by Design!” Trace cheerfully greeted his first customer all week, was it Thursday already?
Trace opened the tattoo parlor only three weeks ago, and business had been meager, at best. He supposed the reason was that ... | "Are you sure about this?", I ask, and the client simply smirks and nods.

I contemplated for a while. My thoughts conflicted at his request. "It would wreak havoc across the country, but is it's existence not what you have sought?". I felt excited, but my sanity was roused. "Should I say no? But you also... | |
[WP] You have found the only thing worse than the Death Note. The Debt Note. You write who shall owe how much money to whom, and by when this is to be paid. Else, they die of a heart attack. | I never wanted to kill.
When I realized what I had, a little black notebook through which I could create a cosmic shift in reality, changing it so that one person owed another the specific amount I wrote, I was careful. I used it only to enrich myself.
I was like Robin Hood, I told myself. They were rich and I wa... | Detective S hung suspended from the ceiling from a rope. It improved brain function by 70%. He impaled a box of Doritos with a wall mounted spear and ate them weirdly, slowly. Piano music played from a radio repeatedly.

[WP] No one believed you when you told them that your four year old got abducted by aliens on your way home from school. Today an alien shows up at your doorstep begging you to save them. Your nasty toddler has taken over the galaxy as its most vicious overlord and only you can make it stop. | It started simple enough....well for them.
For me it started with a lot of hysterics and crying and a wife that didn’t believe me.
They abducted Julie. The, god I have to write it, I shouldn’t even bother because no one believes it anyway but I will.

Why do we still say rolling when they've been digital since -why did my mind go there? Hell. I hadn't slept in days. Everyone saw the little gray being appear in the yard and then walk inside, past the police detail, the nice old gent detective who at least tried to act like we we... | The strange creature sat there, cup of tea in his... appendage. He was clearly shaken. He raised his eyes again across my table.

Your nasty toddler has taken over the galaxy as its most vicious overlord and only you can make it stop. | The short man with eyes slightly too far apart entered my home and sat on my couch.

I knocked up this bitch named Lauren. We were both seventeen. Stupid decision, I was a two pump chump, and it knocked her up. Hoo-fucking-ray, teenage fucking pregnancy. Top it off, she's a pro-lifer, and I can't force her to call the kid off.

[WP] Your late grandfather left you an old record player and several nameless records and nothing else. One day, years after his death you pop in the first one and start it up. Instead of music though, you hear his voice echoing out. "I'm sorry, but this was the only way I could speak freely." | "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," my grandfather's garbled voice came crackling through the record player.
