"I ate that bitch." "Dude, it's fine, everyone hates somebody." I just nodded at his ignorance and picked at my teeth, where chunks of skin and hair were stuck.
Bryan turned back towards me, wincing and cradling his left arm. A peculiar expression slowly broke across his face as he spilled to the floor, the dry erase marker rolled out from his palm, clicking softly across the tiles.

She saw me shopping with my female cousin. I was buying her the ring. She didn't know that was my cousin.

My hands closed over hers, and I knew there was not much time left. She looked into my eyes and I stared back into hers, drinking them in for the final time. As I whispered goodbye her eyes closed, and to this day I do not know if she heard me.

[WP] A lone soldier stands at a bridge, knowing he must buy his people time with his life.
Well ain't this a pleasant day? I get to die. Hip Hip hooray. If you asked me when I was in college where I'd be twenty in years, I wouldn't have said playing fucking Horatio at the Bridge. But nooo.

Man, this would be so much easier if it was a rickety bridge in some Jungle somewhere. I'd just cut the rope and as they run against gravity, the bridge would lead to the cliff's long edge to the long drop where their cartoon explosion would occur. What type of bridge is this?

Running through the camp, guards on my heels. I stole a gun. Right turn, right turn, left turn, slide under the table. Got away. I have a silencer. Check the ammo. Shit. One shot.

[WP] The king of a xenophobic and isolated kingdom makes the decision to send out scouts and envoys.
“It’s time.” The king had heard the counsel enough. All of the royal advisors had told him it was time for him to set out. They had shut themselves off to the world once The Great War started. Old alliances fell apart as kingdoms scrambled to cobble together new trusts that would ultimately be broken as well. Bah. He ...

A pebble-strewn embankment, rolling slowly down toward Mossy Creek, its snow-dappled southern crest rounded to a crude lookout over churning melt-swollen water.

[WP] An otherwise normal person discovers that they cannot die after being involved in a major car crash.
The taste of copper filled my mouth. My skin was white as snow with hands shaking like Parkinson's. I looked over to the side of the car. A scrambled mess of flesh spread across what once was my family. I gagged as my insides fell out from my esophagus. How was I still here? Sirens filled the air as I turned my head on...
I can faintly hear the scrambling of doctors and nurses coming in and out of my room. I can't see. I can slightly move my head around, and I can make quiet grunting noises. I still can't see. One of the nurses noticed that I was starting to wake up and called attention over to one of the doctors. My whole body was...

I looked into the distance as I removed the sunglasses from my face. The sun shot into my eyes like a bullet piercing my skin.

The darkness clings to me like my tattered clothing. It's always dark here, even when the sun rises, everything is shrouded in that terrible blackness. I can't escape it. None of us can.

"The city is empty." He kept thinking those words as he ran trying to find someone to talk to; to find someone who could prove that he wasn't crazy.

Enter the Mimic. As for cubicle neighbors, one could likely do much worse, but you'll wanna tear your hair out just the same. Did you fuck up and drum your fingers on your desk while waiting for that site to load the other day? Good job. Now you can look forward to hearing it for the next six months, and it won't e...
Yo thanks for letting me chill. I know we just met when our friend of a friend of a friend invites me to your party, now I gotta go. Also I fucked your sister and clogged the toilet.

I'm the guy who'd steal candy from a baby. I care not for who you are. I most likely hate you, or will make a case to hate you. Unless, of course, you're rich and white. Then I'll treat you to a drink. The holy book is my moral guide. It's words are unflappable, exempt from criticism. I hate our president. He's black a...
[WP] Because of ancient law, you are forced to marry the High Elven Queen, She is the fine age of 5272, you are a 18 year old farmers boy. How goes the marriage?
The ceremony was quick, and a bit familiar to Jed - just two months prior, he had stood as witness while his older brother married their cousin Harriet. His own wedding, held in the Queen's high tower, at the first sunrise of spring, was sparsely attended. He had hoped his parents could watch but that was forbidden. ...
"But, but, I'm a girl," explained Sarah. "I can't be this... elf's wife," she said as she slammed her palm on the thick wooden dining room table. "Honey, I know, but it is the law. The Elusian pact must be maintained," said a middle aged woman sitting at the table holding her daughter's hand. "Blame your father, he re...

"Kim?" I close the door behind me, its sound echoing throughout the hallway. I kick off my shoes and toss my Titans hat on the coat rack. The lack of noise in my house disturbs me. I've always been a nervous guy, but with everything's that happened in the past few weeks, my neurosis has been sent into overdrive. "Kim?"...

You know, I think I'm starting to get used to her. I don't think she'll ever get used to me, though. It's been five years, but she's still practically an alien, for all she says she was born on earth. Born five thousand-odd years ago, and she comes back and picks me for this farce of a marriage. She says her peop...

I was chosen for the Marriage of Disinheritance, bonded to the High Elven Queen by the Elder Council. The day of our marriage was a somber one, with my wife crying throughout the ceremony at the pending loss of her throne, which came as soon as we said the words. She hasn't adjusted well.

She turns to look at me. It's the first time I've seen her and it's our wedding day. She's standing beside me underneath a canopy of green saplings sung into an arch. The only thing she's wearing is a crown of forget-me-nots placed in her hair, dark as the rich earth. Elves marry naked. I'm dressed in green and white a...

[WP] A suicidal man who works day in and day out as a suicide hotline operator.
Edit: Trigger warnings for self harm and mentions of suicide. "Hello, Helpline, how can we help you?" The phone always feels heavy in my hand. I refuse to put it down. "Hello?" A quavering voice comes across the line and I rock back in my chair, minimising the tab I had open while waiting for a call. I wait for he...
Some might struggle to get their heads around this. They may feel it’s odd, or hypocritical, or downright dangerous. The blind leading the blind. Why does he come in every day, even though he can’t bear to talk to or see anyone on his way in? How does he get out of bed, when he’s exhausted and all his mind craves is th...
