[WP] The entire galaxy is threatened by a new species, invading from the Large Magellanic Cloud. The interstellar community decides to contact humans for help who were quarantined due to their passion for war.
"You want us to go to war?" the Terran ambassador had asked incredulously, "After trapping us here in the Quad Systems for a thousand years. You expect to let loose our leashes and like dogs chase down your hated enemies?" "We do," the Gallius Union Envoy Drone had said, "We will drop the FTL disablers surrounding you...
######[](#dropcap) They came from beyond the galactic rim, past the chaotic energies which bound the Milky Way, denizens of true emptiness, the noplace in the cracks between nowhere. The Galactic council sent an overwhelming force to destroy them. Ships of the dominant races in the galaxy: Trylixian Spheres brimming...

My ancestors were granted peace. This is the lesson taught aboard our Generational Tanker Class IV. There was a time when humanity's highest leaders were rulers of mere countries. Then, the Xulians descended from seven folds of spacetime in ships of crystal and glass. They beckoned with spidery limbs, saying simply: "Y...
"The whole galaxy is under threat of extinction," the Puri representative spoke into the microphone. "There is one recourse we have not yet tried..." The representative for the Magnar delegation spoke up, cutting off the end of his thought. "No! Absolutely not! We have discussed this time and time again in the Synod. ...

[WP] You are an evil wizard that captured the King's daughter for ransom. To your surprise she likes your lair more than the boring castle and helps you kill off the knights trying to rescue her.
"Okay, but *how* though?" A short explanation that tearing apart the fabric of the universe is child's play wasn't enough to placate a child. That did make sense and Herrok chides himself for allowing himself to get into this argument in the first place. Normally, he had hidden the princess away from the gore and cat...
Serel chokes on the stench of burnt flesh when she steps through the door. Summoning a breeze pushes away the worst of the smoke, but not the smell. Princess Regalia stands stark naked at the bottom of the manor steps yet again. "Lia," Serel sighs. She conjures a cloak as she descends. "You could have just waited for...

The knight in shining armour, around the 7th(?) this month, held his sword to my neck. "Any last words, scoundrel?" This knight was particularly smart, opting to catch me off guard in my sleep. I could tell he was from Agres, known for their proficiency in the magical arts, which also explained how he had gotten past...

[WP] NON-FICTION - Write a story about the happiest moment in your life.
So I wrote this a while back on a post on r/videos. It was a vid of a kid receiving adoption papers from his then guardian and now dad on Christmas morning. The kid was so grateful and emotional, and the video really struck a chord with me for reasons this story will explain, here it is: Quick story- As a kid I was un...
It's really interesting when I think about it. These kind of prompts are hard for me to do for two reasons: one, it is hard for me to *genuinely* admit I'm good at something and two, since I have such a skewed perception of myself since I was young I grew accustomed to create stories around real life happenings which...
[WP] you two are humans that have been thrown into an arena for the amusement of some aliens, you have both been starved for days yet when a delicious steak is placed between you two you do something they wouldn't expect. Share.
"Go get 'em, tiger!" An alien said. I mean, it didn't, obviously. Even after a few weeks with them, John still couldn't understand a single word of their high-pitched rattling language. But pretending they were all talking to him in English, and specifically like a dopey suburban dad figure, had helped him retain his...
As the gates opened, we were out on the Battleground and upon seeing the person on the other side i yelled to the crowd, "WE KNOW EACH OTHER. HE'S A FRIEND FROM WORK". Everyone was shocked and little taken aback. At first he didn't recognized me, which make sense because of all the mental abuse but i kept talking about...

Shafts of light broke through the dust and dirt of the corridor as Grax marched towards the cells. His tail whipped furiously back and forth, blue scales working themselves free and littering the ground behind him. It was something to do with this planet's atmosphere the healer said. A minor skin irritation, they said...

She shrugged, feeling like mud was cracking off her shoulders. She'd been fighting for days, weeks? Rolling around with various creatures, armed with primitive weapons, all for the alien crowd's amusement. Today her opponent was human though, a pasty man with sunken eyes and a patchy beard. He looked like he'd had a ...
The headache was the worst part of it. Being intentionally starved for several days trapped in the same ring as a stranger I'd never met who was actually starting to look pretty attractive as time went on. In fact, by the third night we had started sleeping in each other's arms for warmth as well as for physical affect...

We dove upon it, saliva mixing with dust to mat our over grown beards with steak juice, tearing it in half as we did. I can only assume their point-of-refernece was celluloid and cathode ray era media like the egg heads say. The broadcasts of early TV and radio shows traveling at light speed across space are just now a...
How long had I been held in captivity? It had certainly been weeks, which had bled into months, but most likely less than a year. There was no way of knowing. The days were longer and wildly irregular, due to the binary star system the planet orbited. Not like that mattered anyways; my window looking out into the a...

-rough draft- (forgot to incorporate hunger) (check gen and verb consistency) I can’t tell if my memories of another human reflect the actual moment, or if my mind is so broken is has completely imagined falsehoods. I don’t remember my name, only my clan name Donohue-only because the ship always referred to me as such...

######[](#dropcap) "You ready for the fight of the century?" Mark spoke the words out of the side of his mouth, barely moving his lips. Jackson smirked. "Of course." "You remember our choreo, right?"

I apologise for formatting, I’m making this on mobile. The man, who introduced himself later as Hanks, was thrown in a cage next to me. “To make sure you don’t kill each other... yet!” the alien explained, cackling an evil laughter. I looked up from where I sat and turned my head towards the new guy. In one glance I ...

"Ugh, that looks bloody nice steak, don't you think?" Charles says as he rubs his chin. "Yes," Timothy responds with a long nod. "You know that they want us to kill each other for that piece, right?" Charles chuckles. "I have barely strength to stand. I'm no animal. One hit and I'm knocked out." Timothy laughed with...
It took me a few minutes to realize where I was. An open field. Holy shit. Where the fuck was I? Jesus, I was surrounded. Then I saw the other guy. He looked as bewildered as I was. Skinny and pale too. Almost nice to see another human. There was a steaming piece of steak on a table between us. “Dude you speak Eng...
[WP] A shapeshifter loses his memory in an accident (describe) and can no longer remember his true identity.
Birds chirp. They sing. They caw. I turn my head to look at the bird. Suddenly, I feel small. I glance down and see feathers. What are the feathers for? Bird. They're for the bird. The bird is me. A tree stands below. Suddenly, I feel like I'm growing. No. Impossible. I am a bird. I stop growing and feel small a...
I awake in a strange bed, no memory of how I got there. Connected to my arms are tubes and wires to what looks like a bag of some sort of red liquid. The room I am in is all white and I hear beeping to my left. When I look over I see a machine of some sort with lines that spike every so often and weird numbers display...
[WP] Humans aren't generally that advanced but their engineering capabilities are one of the top within the galaxy, since they are so stubborn. This has led to the saying "Leave a human with a machine that is ineffective, give it a few months and it will become effective."
Here's a cool thought experiment. See if you can figure out how humanity was able to progress to where we are starting with only naked, ignorant Man and basically dirt, rocks, trees, water, plants, and animals. Is there a way to logically account for the existence of the modern society from that beginning? Yes! The a...

It's not a bad gig, being an NPC. Just stick to the script when the Dragonborn shows up and the rest of the time you're free to do whatever you want. It puts food on the table and I'm good at it. I've even had some upward mobility, started out as a run of the mill guard and made it all the way up to Captain in Markarth...
Sometimes I spit in his mead just for the hell of it. I've never done to anyone else, but this nonsense about going to the Cloud District is irritating especially since most of the city has to go to the palace in order to file mischarges or other legal fees. I was just waiting for that little bastard to burst through t...

"Cas," said Jane. "Cas, where are you?" She walked a little farther down the corridor. "Cas, come on," said Jane. "I'm going to get caught." A corporeal head poked out of the door that Jane lent up against. "It's not done yet," said Cas. "What?" said Jane. "You've been in there for ages." "I know, I know," said...
Carver was hunched over and cursing when she walked into his office. He'd paid his late rent that morning with nothing left over for weed. His lank black hair had kept falling into his eyes as he scraped resin from the blackened stem. "Spooks hand me those cigarettes" Carver said to the ghost in his office who was flo...

Rain trickled down the windows and thunder and lightning crackled in the distance, a fitting start to a bad day. It was a line of work that I had gone into and was a choice that I had made.

"Okay people look alive, we got a good one.", I walk into the office. "Alive? Really Bob?" "You've got no respect for the dead, or the elders." "I hope you find someone like you after you die."

[WP] A day before the Earth is destroyed by a collision with a rogue planet, time freezes. You, a completely normal person, are untouched and cannot die. Text on your arm appears that reads, "however long it takes, save us". You have an eternity, time resumes only when you are done.
How long is an eternity? That's a silly question, and rightfully deserves a silly answer. Infinite. I looked up, as I did at the start of every 24-hour cycle. A massive, misshapen, spherical rock invaded most of the sky. Scientists called it a rogue planet, and it had dislodged from the asteroid belt and embarked on i...
At first, I denied it. “No way,” I thought, “I must be on some sort of gameshow. Or there was something in my drink. Or it’s a dream.”I was like that for about a day. Then, I embraced it. I did all the things I thought of doing but never had the guts to do. I drank so much I blacked out three days in a row. I drove a...

The prince had still not shown his face, Grumpy heard through the grapevine that he had married some chimney type who had lost her shoe. He gazed down at Snow White in the suspended animation pod, her rosy cheeks, and dark eyelashes never twitching or moving a muscle. He suspected that the fairy godmother was the godmo...
It's clear the Prince isn't coming. As the last living dwarf, you must decide whether or not to unplug Snow White's life support… Snow White we all know well, she was a beauty.

[WP] You are exploring a series of caves under a mountain when you find a large vault door set into the wall. An inscription is set into the door that reads: "Apocalypse came, but we were prepared. Hope lies beyond. 15,683 A.R.L. Epoch II"
Ray checked his surroundings. He was in a forest right next to a mountain. Ray squinted and saw a small hole under a bush, small enough to fit a human. Ray smiled. He has been hunting Black Demon, a man who earned that name by soaking his skin in the blood of those he’s killed. Black Demon was worth a fortune to anyone...

I had a problem. So there I was, just minding my own business, trying to cash my check before it bounced, when some moron decided "Hey, today I'll go rob a bank," and now he and about a dozen other people were there waving guns telling us to hit the floor. So there I lay, hands above my head, resting on an ornate...

I know what you're thinking. 'Just fly faster than the eye can see!' Nope, not that kind of hero. In all truth, I'm not much of a hero at all. More of a government labrat, to be completely honest. For a few years back in the 80s, they recruited old soldiers like me for new rounds of testing on the WWII 'Super So...

[WP] A couple of weeks ago, I heard my neighbors' cat meowing so I responded with a "meow" of my own. This went on for about 3-4 exchanges until I opened the door and found it was not a cat, it was just another dude meowing back at me.
It felt like weeks had passed, but it had only been an hour, since I'd had the unpleasant experience of crawling through the back door, and vomiting up the contents of my stomach all over the floor. I made the mistake of using the handle to pull myself upright, and had inadvertently shut myself in. I didn't know wh...
"You make uhhh... Nice cat sounds", I said as I stared at that incredulous man, the one making cat sounds that sounded more like a cat than my uncle's cat.

[WP] A couple of weeks ago, I heard my neighbors' cat meowing so I responded with a "meow" of my own. This went on for about 3-4 exchanges until I opened the door and found it was not a cat, it was just another dude meowing back at me.
What the fuck. I've lived here for a year and a half and haven't even learned this man's name. "What the fuck," he exhales. "Amen." I look down to see him eating tuna out of a can. College dining at it's finest. He sees my gaze shift and holds the can up. "Not quite fancy feast." "Not fancy at all. Is that why you...

"*Oh,*" the man gasped, as I swung open the door. His eyes widened. He turned, and bolted down the hallway with the footspeed of an actual feline. How weirdly appropriate - because I'd just interrupted him mid-yowl, as though he were a tomcat in heat, inviting me into the hallway to mate. Ugh. He'd left something behi...
My neighbor’s cat was a menace. A no good, loud, bratty menace. It tended to sit on my back patio and yell at me until I gave it something. Anything. Food. Water. Pieces of ribbon. The only way to get the greedy bastard to shut up was to slide an offering out the window. The faster, the better, because Grumpy, as ...

The words took that ease from me again as I read further and further. *Is this normal though?* A light tap on the door pulled me from my reading. "Mr. Peters? You wanted to see me?" "Uh, yes. Jessica, plea...
[WP] Aliens have infiltrated earth, but mostly to make a documentary on the wildlife there. They get most of it wrong.
Not all animals have Blek or are covered in Fluun like our beloved pet Koons. No, some animals have thread like strands growing from their skin known as fur. In today's episode of ''Weird, wild and far far away'' we are visiting the most charming blue little planet of everyone's favorite vacation galaxy. You guessed i...

[WP] Your phone's always been a few minutes fast. You've never been able to fix it, so you just ignored it until the day you were hanging out with your friend and received this text from their number: 'Omg pls tell me your still alive'
**Omg pls tell me your still alive** I looked at my phone and back up at my friend, Sam. "What is this?" I ask, showing Sam my phone. "Some kind of prank?" Sam looks as confused as I feel, his lips moving slightly as he reads his own text. "No, I didn't sent that. Are you sure it's from me?" "Well, it's your numbe...

Thursday *Shit. I'm going to be late to the meeting.* I check the time on my phone again. 10:22, and I'm still waiting at a red light. *Come on, change.* I shift in my seat and nervously tap my fingers on the steering wheel in a rapid staccato beat. A line of cars turn left in front of me. 10:23. Finally, it changes. ...
The movie theater was silent. Then, I felt a buzz in my right pocket. It was a message from Tyler, reading ‘Omg pls tell me your still alive’. “Hey, did you send me something?” I asked Tyler. He looked back at me like I was an idiot. “No. Duh. I’ve been here with you the whole time.” Tyler said. He turned back at the...

I heard my phone vibrate in my purse. I bent down and fished the thing out, still listening to Val’s rant about her new employee. Apparently, his approach to being a salesperson means getting a little too hands-on with the customers...in a pet store of all places. Val doesn’t know whether to reprimand or fire him. He d...

[WP] Your best friend is convinced that everything is created by their imagination, and that nothing is truly real. In your search to find proof of reality, you only find more and more reasons that they’re not wrong.
"Rob... dude, pick up your phone! I\-I'm seriously freaking out right now..." are the first words I hear as I playback the voicemail waiting for me on my phone. It's my friend, Caleb. A few days ago, something strange started happening with him. We were sitting around one day watching "Hook" on Netflix when he turns to...
"What else is there?" "Well, we've got this." Charles reached for the pile of Old Milwaukee cans scattered haphazardly on and around his workspace. He had to jiggle a few cans out of the arrangement of a dozen or so before he found a half full one. "Hear me out, man. What I'm trying to say is that this is all we are...
[WP] A unknown creature living by a isolated stretch of highway, uses a "lure" to tempt drivers to stop in order to devour them. You are driving down this highway.
It was a lonely stretch of highway that extended from Arkham to Kingsport, avoiding the Dunwich spur as if that latter town were stricken with plague. The disappearances had been reported, usually days later, sometimes months for itinerant salespeople. There was a veritable dearth of information about them, and the onl...
*Is that a child?* I slammed on the brakes and the car screeched to a halt, only feet away from the shadowy figure on the side of the road. My heart hammered in my chest and I flicked off the radio. In the sudden silence I realised how frantic my breathing had become. I looked closer at the shape. With a jerk, it mo...

[WP] You live in a world of shapeshifters. People are born with the ability to transform into ONE random animal for the rest of their lives. There's no record of your animal in any history books.
As was the royal prerogative of school teachers everywhere in the universe, the students had to be made uncomfortable to truly absorb the wondrous Education the local equivalent of a high school provided. To accomplish the feat, the Mandatory First Class Introduction was spawned onto this sinful world. Lara dreaded th...
“Will it be painful, papa?” My father looked me in the eyes without speaking, tears climbing over his eyelids. He shook his head, but I knew he wasn’t answering my question. It was my seventh birthday, Revelation Day. It was also the day my father left, transformed rather, but gone nonetheless. My father is a wolf, bo...

“This curse bears far reaching impacts, young one.

Violet Cruz sat in her car and took a deep breath. She stared at the small Chinese restaurant while her mind ran down the checklist again. It took her two years to reach this point after Arnold's death, after a stranger from the future murdered him. "Trust me, I'm saving us both some heartache," he said as she held Ar...

[WP] A genie once gave you the ability to see 5 minutes into the future with the twist that if anyone ever finds out, you die. You're on your way home with a random person you flirted with at the bar when you see the two of you suddenly being murdered.
Her eyes were the only thing that mattered. Deep, melancholic green eyes that surveyed her surroundings with precision and wit, gleaning inspiration. I carried myself with confidence as we walked down the street, but inside I was clueless. I hadn't seen her in my future. Yet, here she was, walking me to her apartment b...
"How you doing?" I said as I wrapped my arm around the beautiful tall woman who stood to my left. She smiled at me shyly. I was a handsome man, so I didn't blame her for feeling coy.
