[WP] As you approach the Angel, intrigued and amazed.Suddenly someone speaks behind you, "I wouldn't get near that if i were you" | "I wouldn't get near that, if i were you."
Startled, i spun quickly. There stood a man, his clothing both normal and out of time, his features both beautiful and terrifying. Looking at him gave me a similar feeling to the other being. The Angel? I thought.
"Why not?" I ask the strangely intoxicating man.
His mouth... | You recognize that voice.
"And why should I not, John? You know I've been looking for this angel for a few months now", I said.
You hear John's footsteps as he walk closer, but you don't want to look at him yet.

[WP] You can predict anyone's death, but you can't tell anyone. | Everyone has an aura about them, and it changes color the closer you are to death. At least, that's how I've always seen the world. Gives everything this creepy-ass, surreal vibe to it when you are sitting on the subway, or waiting in line for something, and you see somebody next to you just absolutely dripping black.

[WP] There is no singular Grim Reaper. When someone dies, there are dozens of people they talk to: one tells them what happened to them, one explains the afterlife, one judges them, etc. You are the second person they speak with. | "17 people" I say, blandly. Monotonously.
The bald and doughy man looks at me, obviously perplexed.
"You have positively impacted 17 people in your life. Move ahead in the line, sir. You see the Judge next." His frightened eyes weren't unusual. Most people were horrified to hear about the Judge.

[WP] You die halfway through a binge watching session on Netflix. You cannot rest until you finish the show | “Honey do you want to watch one more?”
“I don’t know, I’m getting tired of the show. How about we just go to sleep?”
“ok sure”

CINNAMON BUNZ-A | [WP] The aliens we made first contact with lived entirely on tasteless, simple food. So enamored with our food, we've found that we can even control them with our supreme culinary prowess. You have a couple alien friends, but you also happen to be a terrible cook. | "Please, Michael, we wish to see more of your culture!" The little purple aliens squeeked up at me. I couldn't help but say yes as I did almost every time they asked for something. They just seemed so ... pitiful, I guess. I mean, sure, they had interstellar empires and faster-than-light starships, but they reminded me... | I knew I could not cook, but I did not sweat it. The door bell rang, and I was so excited. I opened the door and let my two gooey one eyed companions in. They were so glad that they did not even notice my baseball bat. I swung. They were mine now. All mine
The two alien awoke to "gourmet" jellybeans. They stuffed them... |
[WP] After thousands of years, the Tuatha de Dannan (high fae of Celtic legend) have returned to the mortal plane. They are curious to see what their former slaves have done with the place. As luck would have it, they descend right in the middle of Disney World. They are beyond offended. | "These shoes become plainer every day."
Not in condemnation, not in anger or sorrow, in comment - as one English would say 'looks like rain' to another - a fact of existence.
"They look as those worn before. Demands on the Court are not so high that such a diversion should be so slighted."

[WP] You awaken alone in the far future from cryogenic sleep. You have no government ID, no skills that can't be done better by one of the common robots, and you can barely understand the newfangled language. | Year 2750 Post-Ignition, Hope Mine
I opened my eyes, blinking rapidly to clear out the blurriness. When my vision was back to normal, I stared at the dark gray panel only a few inches from my eyes, dimly illuminated by the soft lights inside the cryogenic chamber. It took a few moments for everything to sink in. My la... | In the human world, I thrived, until I was caught. I look around me and I wonder would it have been better had I died. I had almost expected to be dead, to never awake, but now I stand, the only human alive, I think. It has been long, I’ve missed much. It is ironic that I’d be the only one living after all I’ve done, a... | |
[WP] Mankind finally makes first contact, the aliens are extremely immature. | When man once met his counterpart,
A feeling welled up in his heart.

[WP] Mankind finally makes first contact, the aliens are extremely immature. | We had been listening for years. Calling out into the abyss far above our heads, waiting for a response.

Until it came.
