[WP] A story about why pairing a pretty princess with high explosives is probably not the best idea. | The plan of the fanatics could no have gone any better, Snipers took out the guards while men next to the road ambushed the car. A truck pulled along side the limousine and pulled the princess into one truck and the U.S. Senator into another. After the men cleared the area the crop duster dropped the home made bombs on... | All her life, Princess Yanny had only known luxury. How to look pretty, how to preen herself in the most alluring way to suitors, how to be the perfect wife to an unknown prince or king. That was until the day the explosives showed up.
Stashed neatly in a nondescript wooden crate, with a simple word "DANGER" labelled ... | |
[WP] You knew the Council hates you, but that’s too far. As a companion for your quest, they chose a goblin found and captured in the city’s sewer system, and you became the laughingstock of the kingdom.

I'd heard he'd been caught in the city sewers, part of a pack that had slipped in recently. He certainly smelled like it. Damp rags were wrapped around his feet, even more soiled than the scrap of cloth he kept tugging back up to cove... | "Jaya, thank you for seeing us on such short notice," the councilor intoned, not bothering to look up as he waved a hand at an empty chair. The hall, if it could be called that, was cramped and musty, tucked away in a distant corner of the bustling castle. A half dozen minor lords, tunics heavy with self important patt... | |

[WP] you're walking from the basement when you decide to flip the bird at the darkness for whatever reason. Something says, "wow, that's rude." |
"You're not my mother!" Sarah slammed the laundry machine shut in an act of defiance and angst. Her brother yelled back down through the floorboards. She shouldn't have slammed the laundry machine closed, but she was angry, so very angry, and alone. Thrusting her arm into the darkness of the basement, she flipped t... | "Wow, that's rude."
That's all I heard that night and still to this day that baritone haunts my thoughts. I thought running was the best thing to do, I mean what was I supposed to do? I know now I would have stood no chance fighting him and I knew then by the way his voice sent a chill down my spine.

[WP] You are Oelia. A deity of such immense power you can control Zeus and Hades with a simple whisper. You have been forgotten as you chose a simple life. Songs of you have been quiet for thousands of years, until one day you hear a child singing a song from a book you thought was burned long ago. | A life of power is often boring. I try my best to make it not so.
The woman in front of me widens her eyes as she stares at me. I have mine closed, of course. She has to believe. But I see her staring all the same.

In your darkest hour, a strange woman knocks on your door. She introduces herself as Bastet and claims she is here to make things right. | People fucking suck.
It was the "Christmas clear out" and it was the 5th perfectly healthy oldie to be brought into the practice. Usual sketch, owners think they "won't make it" and just want rid of a lifelong companion. I could never do it though.

[WP] Unlike the rest of your Tribe, you can see an aura coming off things that lets you do things like spot fruit more easily, tell when the fruit is ripe, and tell how much your prey is bleeding.

Once again, Death comes around.
Once he asked me if I’m ready to go.
Jokingly, of course, I answered no.
Now, every year he comes around.
Asks me if I’m to go, every year I feel compelled.
To answer no for one last time.

I was surprised death left, and when I woke up, I was even more surprised. My family was crying, and once they found out I would be okay, they were so happy.
I eventually forgot about the entire thing, as much of that period is hard to remember. But 6 months later, death took my brother and sister. I was so confused... | “Is she going to be okay?” My sister asks the doctor. The voices start to muffle and burgeon further away from me; My body suddenly grows cold and numb. It’s already as if I’ve ascended from this world. The surrounding parts of me are no longer recognizable. I can’t hear, I can’t see. I can’t move.
Nothing.
