[WP] Time travel exists, and a new form of capital punishment is introduced: Transporting the convict back to the worst, practically unsurvivable, places in human history to find yourself in. You are such a convict, and just got sent back. You will do anything to try and survive.
Eleven years alone in a room will do things to a person that little else will. From time to time, I heard the men in the other cells talking to themselves, to imaginary companions, proclaiming their innocence to anyone who would listen, and attempting to cheat the executioner of his task and failing. That was the one r...
The thing about Robert McKay was he was a tough son of a bitch. He survived three tours with the 33rd fusiliers, he watched New York burn from the air, and he had survived prison; being handy with a blade helped. “Prisoner 5-6-5-9-1,” A voice called out his name, he was a number, a meat suit. “Report for summary exec...

I could still the Judge's gavel banging and the words "Put to Death" in my ears as they strapped me down. I was lucky, they said, that I would have a chance to live, if I wanted it bad enough. What the fuck did that mean? I was the worst serial killer in history and they were giving me a chance to kill again? I did...
I suppose I deserved it really, but why give me the choice? How could anyone make that kind of choice? Gallipoli or the Somme. Two of the worst battles in history. Bloodbaths of the highest degree. "WELP, if I'm gonna choose, I'll take Gallipoli, at least it will be sunny." I said to the executor, and he turned to p...

All my life I've been fond of cats. Small cats, big cats, their beauty always made me forgive their egoism, lazyness, and cruelty. I wish they were lazy this time. They probably haven't eaten for days, and the screaming of tens of thousands of people in the stands probably also won't inspire them to take a nap. Why d...

I opened my eyes and found myself looking at the sky. I had heard Time Travel was painful but nothing was ever said about landing on a rock. I sat up, judging by my clothes and the small village near by I gathered I had been sent back sometime between 1600 and 1700. "Well then..." I said out loud. This was a place I co...

The light was blinding, a flash of brilliance compared to the dingy room I lay in moments ago. A flashing pain struck through my body. A mass gathered in my skull. Expanding, Growing.

"Do you have any last words?" asked my executioner. I couldn't see his face: the machine was callibrated to transport as little matter as possible, and I was restrained by iron bands to keep me within the boundaries of the time machine.

I landed in a quaint town, next to a smoky mountain. Of course, there was no point running.

As a historian and a literature buff, I could appreciate the irony of being one of the few people able to both describe a dystopian future (a concept much ignored by modern "teaching") and to pinpoint the moment in which society took a turn down that forbidden valley. Time travel had been a boon to society at first. ...

It’s dark. Cold. There’s nothing. They say everyone has a purpose, a meaning. That no one may pass onto the next world until they’ve fulfilled their role in this one. Now only I live.

[WP] Write an uplifting story in under 8 setences
There were stars and we shaped glass And the stars were drawn much closer There were germs and we shaped glass And their world was at our doorstep There was plague and we shaped glass Crafted cures to best our curses Still there are Death, Want, and War And heaps of glass left unexploited
I knew the answer. I'd known it all along, so why did it just now feel like I had eaten my heart? She looked me in the eyes. Hers rimmed with tears. *Oh god, answer the question!* "I do."

Owen di la Martyn winced as the jailer opened the door to his cell, the beam of light spilling out on the floor and opposite wall directly into his flint grey eyes.

"What", the great demon Blaurtoug spluttered, "is *this* meant to be, Smaslort!" A single elongated finger scratched at his furry tongue, quite incredulously. He was staring, dumbfounded, at the ring of tarmac that was currently being laid by chain-gangs of bulbous imps. Smaslort was a lot smaller than Blaurtoug. In f...

[WP] A teenage boy is woken up late at night to an AMBER alert on his phone that says that he is missing.
You’re jolted into consciousness by the electric shrill of your phone. With a painful moan, you gingerly reach for your sore, throbbing head. It’s wet. Blood.

You slowly become dimly aware that you’re not in your bedroom at home. The waxing crescent moon looms high above you in the flickering starlight, masked by shad...
**Huh? What? Amber Alert? Who gives a shit, I'm not a missing child.** I beg to differ. **Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my room?** Your room is a 1988 Winnebago? **Well... yeah.** I know! That's why kidnapping you was so easy. I got behind the wheel, I slit your parents throats-- **You what now?** And ...

*Bing* The loud noise of my phone infiltrates my subconscious. I internally sigh, pull the pillow over my face, and almost instantly fall back asleep. *Bing* *Bing* The noise wouldn't quit.

It was originally called Wristcutteria. Then we thought that was too emo, and we changed it to Freedomnia. We thought that was too on the nose, so, again, we changed it. To United Youth State. UYS.

Since the day I turned 16, I saw numbers above people's heads. That was they day we got out super powers. The meanings changed for everyone.

I agree that some writing prompts are recycled way too much. One writing prompt that I could do without is Hitler. Apart from Jesus Christ did some people go overboard with that one. It's like every day. One about him being the new savior, reincarnated, stealing ice cream, being a tranny. Lets give it a rest.

I yawned and stepped in front of the mirror to brush my hair. It took a few seconds to realise what was wrong: there were no numbers above my head. In shock I dropped my brush.

The screen above me displays the would-be mob bubbling and frothing in organized chaos outside. Journalists and other news crews flocked outside the doors of a conference room in Area 51, pens clicking nervously and hushed arguments flitting between cameramen and reporters. The U.S. government finally decided to revea...
[WP] After spending 150 years in jail, the world finally figures out that you don't age, and have been alive since the fall of Rome, due to a genetic defect. After taking some DNA samples, NASA comes to you and asks you to go on a 500 year interstellar mission to the closest habitable planet, alone.

You'd be surprised what a man can teach himself in 500 years. Well, that's not entirely accurate. I may not age, but I still need to sleep. Unfortunately, cryogenic stasis technology hasn't yet gotten over the hurdle of inducing brain damage. So, in actuality, you'd be surprised what a man can teach himself in, oh, s...
[WP] Do your best to describe a color
"Describe it to me please mommy." "Hmmm. I don't really know how to, dear." "Try mommy please! All the other kids in school know what colours are. Please mommy?" "Oh all right. You learnt colours in school today did you?" "Yep I did. Richard of York Gave Battle In Vain. That's how Miss Watson taught us to remember ...
What do you feel when you feel calm. Do you feel a gentle breeze blow over you or do you feel the soft grass in your hand. What do you Smell when you are calm. The morning dew on the grass or the gentle pine from the forest. What do you hear when you are calm. A wisp of wind or you stomping through snow. What do you ta...
[WP] Do your best to describe a color
When we met, the first question was "How long?" "All my life." The world wasn't a mystery. I knew stop signs were 'red'. I knew that the sky was 'blue'. I just didn't know what those meant. And it never mattered. Until we met. Because around him, everything felt *more*. Like the air was better, the sounds around me...

What do you feel when you feel Hatred? Do you feel the anger in your head or the feeling of killing them with your own bare hands. What do you smell when you smell fear? Is their actually a sent being transmitted or is it just your blood lust looking for the man. What do you hear when you are trying to find him? Do you...
[WP] Teleportation renders all other modes of transportation obsolete and makes travel time nonexistent—there are no 'journeys,' only 'destinations'. One morning, as you're getting ready for an average day, your teleporter breaks.
My bed vibrates, gently waking me up from sleep at the optimal time. I glance at the window, where my clock dimly shows the time of 6:22. I weighed the thought of sleeping in longer, but I knew that I’d only be more tired. The SmartAlarm woke me up now for a reason. Stretching, I waved my hand at the windows, and the ...
The thing about travel is it makes everything else so damn complicated. There was a time (you may not believe me) when entire cities were built around roads--long, flat stretches of concrete for the now extinct car. If you think that's absurd, listen to this: in the past, if you wanted the opportunity to enjoy a natura...
[WP]The year is 3015. You've found a way to travel to the past, and have decided to go back to the year 2015 and see what life was like back then. You take a box with you, it contains the tools that you think you may need for survival in this ancient era, as well as one single present for humanity.
We had worked tirelessly for this day. And finally, after many a sleepless night spent toiling away in the humid depths of our laboratory, we had done it. The Time-Breaker, we called it. An opaque black cube, embossed on all sides and riddled with special conduits, channels that pulsated with life and light all their ...
I quickly skimmed the posts from /r/EDC using the waybackmachine on the extranet. After some alloy fabricating I was ready. 2 Glocks, 1 snub nosed revolver and a Nugget (A Mosin Nagant rifle, as I learned later). It seemed strange to me, how much firepower would someone need back then to just survive. I also packed som...

As I knelt before the machine, Juanito burst into my dark, dusty room from behind. Gasping for breath, my best friend said "Jon, you can't go. You've studied this stuff for years, one wrong move back there and it could destroy the world as we know it." I replied to him without looking back, "We are on the brink of nuc...

[The musical accompaniement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdXCsXcs6nA) The rain flowed over the sidewalk, running in small streams out of the alley.

"You don't kill!" "No. We haven't killed. Doesn't mean we can't, does it?" As the Purity Beam began to shoot towards my face, I involuntarily considered my life up until now. Time seemed to slow, though ny muscles did not respond. It all began when a shadowy figure gave me a talisman, in exchange for which he would ...

[WP] Chris Hansen steps down and names Arnold Schwarzeneggar as his successor on To Catch a Predator. Arnold misunderstands the type of Predator he's hunting.
This is one of those early morning posts I read before coffee sets in, think it's a post for a news sub, shrug, take another sip of coffee, and scroll down......
Arnold: "Chris! You son of a bitch! Its been a long time. Whats with this fuckin tie business? The network got you pushin too many penises?" Chris: "Arnold, Simple setup. We need to keep catching predators, run 'em down, grab those kids and bounce back across the border before anybody knows we were there. " Arnold: "...

The moonlight glimmered off of the trees. The air was dank and humid, and sat heavily in the moon gilded jungle night. The bushes suddenly began to give way and eventually birthed a shape...with no shape. Branches cracked and snapped with no visible force applied. A shimmer of motion and the hunter was on the move. Hea...

Arnold: Hi Chris, so you are finally casting for Predator again. That's good to hear. Chris: It's great that you are interested in this. Frankly I did not think you would be. It's going to be awesome with you in it. Arnold: Are you kidding me? I have been saying to my agent for far too long that Predator is gold and...

Paul was delighted to have been selected by the network to assist Mr Schwarzenegger during his transition into the new role. When he had first heard the news he was a little ashamed to admit it, but he had peed himself a little. No matter; this was Arnie. He had once accused Satan of being a choir boy. And now here he ...
