Somebody, please save me!” cried a man, pushed into the wall of his dark, damp, apartment by a tall, cloaked, man, his eyes covered by thick glasses with shadowy lenses. Surrounding the man was a menagerie of terrifying beasts, their visages carved into stone.
“I have said it once, and I’ll say it again... | I awoke to a four-year-old sobbing in my room. “What the hell?” I muttered, sitting up. “What's wrong?” I asked the child, forcing sympathy into my voice.
“Y-you forgot t-to return The, The Hunger Games!” She sobbed. “Oh, uh, yeah…” I scratched the back of my neck. “I kinda lost it…” The girl’s once brown eyes turned... | |
[WP] You're the last human worker in an Amazon warehouse, and you're starting to feel like the robots don't like you. | "Another great day," you sigh as you punch in your timecard. Its been six months since the only other human was let go for liability reasons, or at least that's what the robots told you. You walk to your packaging center, and as you pass your automaton counterparts you feel their steel eyes staring at you. Ever since t... | When I first heard the news I didn't mind all that much. Seeing how my social skills were practically zero, having no human colleagues was really not an issue to me...At first. The signs all began on that fateful day, December 25th.
Normally, on Christmas, the robots all sing me a unique song. While they each sing th... | |
[WP]You’re the barkeep of an interdimensional tavern. Talk about some of the stories you hear and some of the people you see. | Jerry used to cross dimensions before with his dad a long time ago but they never had to make a stop and this was the first time he’d visit the famous tavern. His father had disappeared in it while he was heading for another dimension and Jerry never saw him again. He was hesitant but the hunger was killing him.
“Mer... | "Do you allow dogs?" the young woman asked, peaking her head into Orion's.
"I have no issues," I said.
The girl stepped in, her face translucent when she passed under direct light. Beside her was a strange shadow, the shade a cloud might cast. It followed after her heels like a loyal friend.
"That's no dog I have... | |
[WP] Humanity is dead. You were the last human alive until you eventually die. Expecting some sort of afterlife you’re surprised when the first thing you hear is, “OH MY GOD FINALLY! Can we start the next round now?” | I shut my eyes as soon as I had opened them. I slowly began to see the world around me in fleeting glimpses, and began to struggle against whatever was binding me to this chair as I saw an indiscernible blob inching closer and closer to me. As my vision cleared up I was repulsed by what I saw. When I finally noticed th... | "Oh geez, there's one left." The green thing laughs at the blue thing and points a... squiggly- what was that word- pseudopod? At me. "So I..." The green thing melts into the ground. Dead?

[WP] Humanity is dead. You were the last human alive until you eventually die. Expecting some sort of afterlife you’re surprised when the first thing you hear is, “OH MY GOD FINALLY! Can we start the next round now?” | I havent seen another person in 16 years, 2 months, and 6 days. The small lines on the wall above my bed remind me this is still real. They kept me sane all these years. After being here so long, so alone, you dont strive for humanity like you did at first. I dont find myself lonely anymore. The first 5 years were the ... | "Oh geez, there's one left." The green thing laughs at the blue thing and points a... squiggly- what was that word- pseudopod? At me. "So I..."

[WP] Humanity is dead. You were the last human alive until you eventually die. Expecting some sort of afterlife you’re surprised when the first thing you hear is, “OH MY GOD FINALLY! Can we start the next round now?” | Blinding light hits my eyes like a like a thousand suns through a magnifying glass.
I hear a booming voice.
“I told you to stop taking my name in vain!” the voice bellows, followed by hearty laughter from lots of people.
My eyes are still slammed shut from the harsh light, like how they were after being pepper spray... | "Oh geez, there's one left." The green thing laughs at the blue thing and points a... squiggly- what was that word- pseudopod? At me. "So I..." The green thing melts into the ground. Dead?

[WP] Humanity is dead. You were the last human alive until you eventually die. Expecting some sort of afterlife you’re surprised when the first thing you hear is, “OH MY GOD FINALLY! Can we start the next round now?” | Sophie was supposed to last longer than me. She was younger, stronger, and more resilient. Or, at least, that was what I thought before I ended up picking a spade up and attempting to bury her six feet beneath the ground. By attempt, I mean, I tried for six and ended up with two. Sorry, Soph.
