[WP] You're given a chance to see how many times you've been near death. The highest number of times anyone you know of has almost died, was 15, and they have a dangerous job. You just found out that your life has been close to ending 278 times.
278. I could account for some of these numbers over the 27 years. That time I blacked out and woke up with a giant knife in hand comes to mind. That time I almost was in that giant pile up from a sudden winter storm and last second didn't get on the highway. All the times I was hit on the head, including that concussi...
I knew from the start I was destined to be an outlier, I never fitted into anything, even while being optimistic and throwing myself way out of my comfort zone. That being said, while I am optimistic, I also would prefer to listen to music than waste time making an impression that will be worthless if I quit in a few d...

I had 15 near death experiences in the last year. Shouldn't really be surprised, I work at Wal-Mart, don't drive to often, and generally not a clumsy guy. But this buddy of mine, nearly 300 near death experiences. Same job as me, we carpool so if it was that we would have closer numbers. I'm not sure what else he doe...

"I'm telling you, angel. 278," I say, grabbing a beer from the fridge and wandering to the table. "How am I at 278?" Angela walked through the kitchen and closed the fridge door.

Three billion human lives ended on August 29, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare, a war against the machines.

Hahaha I can't help but look at this number and laugh. I guess I should give some context to this story. I have always been better than my brother.

278. It felt like I had been stabbed in the chest I was so shocked. Wait a minute. No that's real. That's real! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THATS REAL. My clammy hands grasp my chest as I recognize the substance on my shirt (and everything else) is blood. There's a fucking knife in me. What the fuck. Everything feels...

I sat there pondering the stat surrounded by friends and family. It was my 74th birthday, and at that moment I was surprised I had made it that long.

"Oh my God..." I exclaimed, perplexed at how many times I've come close to death. **Yes?** "Oh no...it's just an exclamation..." **This is why I made it so you shouldn't use my name in vain.** "Sorry..." I looked around awkwardly, unsure of what to say or do. "Just...like how? How have I come this close to dying?" ...

She did her best. She was kind, she feigned a sense of empathy, but I could tell how scared she was as she tentatively told me the news. Everyone knows that the only people who break 50 are those that have lifethreatening illnesses, and here I am with 278. I accepted it pretty quickly, I just didn't understand it. M...

If you had the chance would you wanna know? The times you almost gave back the life that you owe. To some it made their days truly precious. Others though, made their demons more vicious.

My best friend and I had decided to go see the latest craze together. We had gone to get tested to see how many times we had *almost* died by this super computer.

“That’s impossible! 278!” My wife had a look of absolute shock and I could see in her face a twinge of annoyance as well, as if she thought the technician who was doing the testing must be new or didn’t know how to work the equipment. “It’s never been wrong before Ma’am.” the test technician said, answering my wife’...

I shut and locked my apartment door behind me, panting, and slid to a seat on the hardwood floor. *What the fuck?* 278 times. 278 times at the age of twenty-one.

It had been nearly ten years since my human Todd had discovered me behind a library dumpster.

I exclaimed, perplexed at how many times I've come close to death. **Yes?** "Oh no...it's just an exclamation..." **This is why I made it so you shouldn't use my name in vain.** "Sorry..." I looked around awkwardly, unsure of what to say or do. "Just...like how? How have I come this close to dying?" ...

My best friend and I had decided to go see the latest craze together. We had gone to get tested to see how many times we had *almost* died by this super computer.

There are upsides and downsides to living alone in the country. The rent is cheap, but you pay through the nose for cable.

That last one is t...

"So, um, this is awkward, but I was wondering, if you'd let me, um, bite you on the neck." Here I am, alone on the subway and trying to go home after a long day. And this girl just walks up and asks to bite me. I mean she's pretty, but biting is at least a fourth date thing, and I've never seen this girl in my life. ...

[WP] You are a museum curator with a dark secret. You have entered into a pact with a living painting that devours its viewers. You setup a "private viewing room" and specifically target wealthy and corrupt patrons to be its meals.
‘Girl in Yellow Flowers’ is not an especially interesting or technically advanced oil painting, even you can admit that. It sits prettily enough, framed in bronze, among its peers along the walls, created by geniuses. It was placed initially as a foil to its friends, to give the viewer the uncomplicated pleasure of a s...

[WP] You’re an esteemed writer. The year is 1838. One night you go to sleep and have a dream so strange that it almost defies description: the opening stage of Super Mario Bros.
To me, novellas and stories came like a cow to slaughter. I would write until my arms ached, pushing quill against parchment as it was my preferred route to the ordained art of storytelling. It wasn't until the summer of 1838 that I encountered an experience too bizarre to give to my editor so I write it here in the ho...

[WP] The Heroic knight of legend has just kicked your door down. You are caught severely off guard, and your prisoner, the princess, cheers in triumph. The knight raises his sword, lets out a battle-cry, and charges straight towards you....Only to trip on a twig and die. You're not sure what to do.
Princess Rishana gasped. Her hands, previously bound, flew to cover her mouth as she openly gaped at the scene before her. Down on the floor of my throne room lie her beloved knight: the Heroic Knight of Legend. Sir Garwin, the bane of my existence and wielder of the legendary sword Shadow's Bane, was sprawled over my ...
The princess looks in disbelief, her mouth wide open. I kick the tin can helmet from the now unconscious knight. His neck is dislocated, it seems to be going in two separate directions. The princess scoffs “seriously? A damn twig?” I pick it up in my hands and snap it. “It’s not even strong, it’s literally just a twi...

My father and I used to watch the Great Blue Planet every night before we went to sleep. That is until he died. Those moments are my favorite memories of him. He used to stare at it with such amazement in his eyes. Our people have always wondered what is like there. Our planet, Selene, is blessed with very few colors, ...

It had always been there. Since I was small I could remember looking up at the beautiful sphere. Something about it had always facinated me, possibly all the story's about it. One of my favorites had always been about the 2 lovers Mayla and Tikanto. It was easy to see the ridges if the strong green and brown Tikanto a ...

[WP]You have accidentally been caught up in a bank robbery. One of the robbers shoot you to set an example. You find out you are bulletproof.
I just remember closing my eyes and hearing the gun go off. But...but that was it. I expected to feel excruciating pain, and I didn't. I thought that I would be dead instantly, no longer conscious, as if I were in a sleep with no dreams. But when I realized I was still alive, I thought that when I opened my eyes, I wou...

[WP] Two soldiers from opposing countries kill each other, and meet up in the afterlife.
They’d been sitting there, the two of them, for hours. Neither said a word. Neither looked at the other. The water rippled at their feet, orange in the never-ending sunset, reflecting their long-worn faces. They were too young for their wrinkles, their scars. Too young for the blood on their hands. Why hadn’t the wat...
"Hey man, sorry about killing you. I didn't even want to be in the war, I was drafted," said the American soldier. "It's all good, bro. I'm sorry about killing you too," replied the German soldier, who for some reason, spoke like a surfer dude from Southern California. "...Wanna play some Mario Kart?" "Fuck yeah."

"Buttercups. I like buttercups. Aaaaand bumblebees, but they aren't all yellow they have some black on them too. OOH and sunshine!

[WP] It walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening, it already killed half of the strike team. Please send help
The Captain was startled at the sound of the door sliding open. She hadn’t expected news of the strike team so soon. Was the mission completed already? There might be promotions to assign. But the messenger did not bring good news. “Captain, the team is requesting help. They’re reporting losses of nearly 60%.” “What?...

######[](#dropcap) "Please send help," Reagen whispered into the walkie-talkie. His legs were becoming cramped, but he didn't dare move a muscle, for fear that the *thing* would hear him. "I'm begging you," he added. The forest around him had become deadly silent. He could only pray that the log would hide him. That...

I nodded to Sasha, the receptionist as I walked into the building. She rolled her eyes at me and started to search through her papers. "Thought it wouldn't be too long until you came back here.

One of the necklaces on my desk was real, the other was fake. I had squeezed the felonious wizard who made them until he told me which was which. Then I forgot to mark the boxes. Now I was at risk of giving the owner back a fake instead of the real thing. While conducting a keen examination of these two pieces of jew...

He was waiting for me after the set, rubbing his temples and squinting at the bright stage lights. "Yes?" he asked.

A glowing ball of formed above the crowd. The longer I roared “RAAAAAA!” The bigger it grew, the more powerful it grew. The lights on stage and around the nosebleed seats wailed as energy filled them, exploding, as they reached their threshold. The audience was loving it. They didn’t know what was happening, that being...

Light floods the hall and everyone shields their eyes from the heavenly glow. One guy quickly reaches for his sunglasses and tips his cap over his face to block off most of the light.

Insomnia can be a real bitch. It is one of those things you can only understand with direct experience. Forget what you see in movies, they romanticize it.

One more morning of the same. Taking a deep breath, kicking myself out of bed, dragging my skin to the shower. Letting the hot water run on my back and hoping it will sooth the pain somehow, already knowing it won't. Already thinking of the next steps: get out of the shower, get dressed. A nice tailored suit. I like to...

“Hey, Tricia…” the voice was low, growly, and distinctly uncomfortable. “Soooo…. we need to talk.” The face was a mask of jagged red rocks; yellow cat’s eyes, barbed horns, and interlocking teeth. The demon face of my dreams! I yelped with surprise and tugged my towel tight around my body, arms crossed over my breas...

I rubbed the soap out of my eyes and opened them to reveal a tiny floating devil in front of me. "Hey bud." It said with a small, chipper voice. "What in the hell." I whispered back. "I'm the demon in your dreams. Don't you remember me?" "Uh, yea, sure. Hi." I said quietly. "Listen bud, I've been worried about you...

I turned towards the showerhead, eyes screwed shut, and cupped my hands beneath the steaming hot water. As I began to wash the soap from my face, taking care to work the slight crevices on either side of my nose, I hummed a few bars of a song quietly beneath my breath. The gurgling of the water down the drain was enoug...

When it worked the first time it was a feeling of the infinite, of moving from the shore to the sea. And when it had stopped... Well, I knew I would never rest until I got it back online. In the end, it was a completely different approach to wormhole topology that got things working a second time. And then that time, t...

I remove my card from my purse's wallet, it flies upward in the air, flipped and rotating in a figure 8. I catch it by the back edge of it, with just the tips of my fingers and grin as I lower it toward the barista, Kevin. He's too far away, so I must stretch my arm out the entire length. He takes the card with a fake...
It was hard to see in the back of the van. They’d blacked out the windows, of course, so there was no sunlight.
