She the one who loved him best. And he felt no remorse, just the visceral need, the escape. He raked at her, screaming wordle...
I walked with measured steps, room to room. The confusion and fear and anger I saw in the faces of my victims became nothing to me. Admittedly, the first one was hard but the second one was harder. Now that I had caved in the skulls of some 20 of the elderly it was easy. The 3lb sledge in my hand felt good, one h...

Of course he had not forgotten the baby in the backseat. The crying and cooing and filthy smells coming from the sack of flesh was impossible to forget. But it was an alibi nonetheless.

There weren't many things that didn't occur to Daniel. Every day, he woke up hoping that today, his thoughts would be pure. But as soon as he'd leave the house and walk among people, he couldn't help thinking of all the terrible things he could do to them if he wanted. He didn't want to be that person. He didn't want t...

Everyday Frank walked to the store and scoffed at the people walking by. He kicked the cups out of homeless beggars hands and shouted "get a job!"

He looked into her eyes as the life drained out of her, a smile forming on the edge of his lips. He had tortured her for days, beating her, cutting her, burning her.

Buzz's mic cut out quickly as he stepped down from the Apollo 11. The two men were awestruck at the wonder before them. They knew ...
Buzz watched him from above, heard him utter the words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." His voice came out in static through the radio frequency of his headset.

Of course, this...

They stood at the apex of the glass tower, looking down over the canyon of metal and steel. The head of the Quiznos Monumental Corporation gazed out at the city during the bi-monthly feed-meet, what would once have been called a lunch meeting.

It wasn't with great fanfare that the last megacorp rose to power, it was with a papal conclave to elect the new entity's CPO (Chief Papal Officer).

After the economical collapse of the USA, the five most successful companies invested together and bought the country. They called it United Americorp©.

(not native English speaker) I was sitting on a bench in the orange painted waiting room, wondering at our 30 years together. We had not had any children, as she could not carry them.

I’ve never been one for cliches. Maybe I’m just bitter, but those tacky, sickly sweet, overused phrases about love always resulted in an involuntary eye roll. Of course, actually falling in love for the first time changed them for me. There was suddenly only a single person in the room, my heart skipped a beat whenever...

The T.V. was on, Bill liked to watch the news while he was working the graveyard shift. The talking heads were talking about ISIS and what were the best steps to take with such a threat. ...
This would be the early stages of a post-apocalyptic setting of some sort. Job could be anything that would fit having the character usually up before dawn.
[WP] A man usually up before the sun for work learns the world he once knew is gone when he arrives for work.
He woke as usual to the pattering foot steps and the chatter of the morning park goers. Quick to wake up Russel rolled his sleeping bag up and put it away into his pack groaning as He picked up last nights empty vodka bottles. His quite nook of the park so immaculate there would be no trace he ever stayed there at all....
Not post-apocalyptic but here it goes. Four A.M. Wake up, shower. Breakfast is eggs, sausage, bran flakes and milk. Then throw the robe back on the hook in the bathroom, put on socks and boxers, black pants, uniform shirt, belt, black shoes, hat. Grab keys, wallet, and nowadays, a phone. Pat down pockets to be sure ev...
[WP] God finds Jesus's porn stash.
"Honestly, my boy! Pornography? It's bad enough that you died for their sins, but now you keep their creations around as well!? What do you have to say for yourself?" Jesus was silent. Not that he was ashamed, or caught off guard by his father, but that his attention was elsewhere. He had bet that Luis Suarez would bi...
"So this is why you wanted to go on that cross so much! Me man.... That's just sick..."
[WP] God finds Jesus's porn stash.
**Warning:** Fairly blasphemous stuff ahead. You've been warned. "I'm not really surprised," God said to Jesus, head lowered. "Considering the fact that we're technically the same entity," he continued, "You really should've known that I'd point it out eventually." He cast aside the videos and magazines, covers pop...
"...Mormons? Really?"
[WP] Someone on reddit comes up with a legitimate, reasonable writing prompt. Everyone is shocked and amazed
A simple setting: a subtle, open-ended situation to spur those creative juices. Just enough to tease, not enough to lead: the very edges of something that could be great. It was a light, not a bright beacon illuminating all, but a thin and wan thing, casting only a hint of a story's shadows in the mind of the one who m...
"You know, F. Scott Fitzgerald said that nothing was truly original. That everything ever created was just a copy of something else," said Tre as he copy and pasted passages from Wikipedia into his essay on pre-Renaissance Italian art. "I think you're making that up," said Avery without looking up from her copy of *Th...
Invisibility makes you blind whenever you use it, super strength making you crush those you love. X-ray vision giving people cancer like instantly. Basically the evil genie interprets somebodies wish for a super power in the most shitty way possible.
[WP] Give someone a cool superpower and make me pity them for having it.
"Invisibility" John wished with a wink To a genie with eyes like ink But when he close his eyes He soon realised The he could see through his blink.
For many people, memories are a beautiful and terrible thing. The most fantastic and horrifying events in our lives are etched into our grey matter, allowing us to re-live them at will (and sometimes even when we don't want to). I am the same way, but for me, those memories haven't happened yet. I guess you could say I...

The tires screeched, and the scene played out in slow motion. My little girl, eyes wide, didn't even have time to lift her arms in protection. I heard screaming. Her body twitched. I was cradling her, rocking against the car, my eyes blurred by tears, hers unseeing. Her left arm was twisted horribly, her leg virtuall...

Flowers? Check. Pack of gum? Check. ...condom? Technically, check. My brother insisted on me having one, but I had extreme doubts about Marie and I getting that far tonight. *Just in case, bro!* I knocked on the front door and a light came on immediately inside. The door opened and Marie's father stood in the doorwa...

On his way to work he took every step carefully. After all, he didn't want to create massive holes in the sidewalk every time he took a step. He squinted out of his sunglasses on the beautiful California morning. He took a step into the local coffee shop and ordered his usual and did his best not to crush the hand of t...

Davy Blahbla was about to turn 18. He'd quite forgotten as he'd been shooting heroin for a couple of years now and had lost track of time. He was living on friends couches and the streets, hadn't attended school for over a year and was shooting junk everyday. Despite his life being a complete fucking shambles, he w...

She stood amongst his peers at The Gate waiting for it to determine who they were.

I creep out from my room the day I turn 18. Today I get an animal--which one? I was banking on a cat. Warm, cuddly, sleepy. Seemed like a good fit! Plus it (he? she?) would be soft. I like soft, maybe my new pet would make a good stomach warmer. It better not shed all over my room, of course, and definitely not my bed!...

We are only what we make of ourselves in this world, nothing more. Some people aspire to greatness, while others wallow in the misery of their own innate inadequacy.
