I'm hoping the case just slips through the cracks and never gets settled. Both of my parents have been idiotic for a while. Somehow, I've afforded this place for so long, but it's not like fast food pays thousands. Funny how my paren... | |
[WP] You work for a secret agency that deals with the supernatural and you just shared a dumb idea with your boss, as a joke: "Instead of keeping everything under wraps, why don't we just release all info to the public, but pretend it's a work of fiction?" You got promoted on the spot. | Doctor Chandlos stared cold daggers at me over the semi-circular table. Around her sat several figures I didn’t recognize, dressed in lab coats or suits. They regarded me inscrutably as I stepped up to the podium.
“Mr. Morrison.”
It was a woman on the left in a lab coat who spoke. Her voice was sharp, and louder than... | It started out as just a joke, it was just another boring meeting on a lazy Tuesday afternoon and all I said was "Let's release the documents to the public with misspellings and grammatical errors so nobody would actually believe it to be true, I mean, who even believes this kind of crap anyways?"
Yet when I saw my b... | |

You got promoted on the spot. | Move over Marvel, there’s a new cinematic universe on the rise.
On the back of an expansive guerrilla marketing campaign and break-neck roll-out speeds, a fresh new production company, A51, has a veritable hit on their hands. The first installment of the 20-film, multi-phase universe, *The Underground*, grossed... | It was supposed to be a joke.
I thought my boss read Tom Clancy. After all, he wrote fiction that ended up being surprisingly close to reality. He was supposed to see the obvious pitfalls of my idea, and how quickly it could turn into “Haha just kidding… unless?”
Instead, I was pulled from my old department, an... | |
[WP] Death comes to you with the offer of a game to evade it. "What if its a game we both lose?" "What?" "The Game." | "How devious. You're hired."
 
"What?"
 
"Did you not hear me mortal? By principle, since you have lost, you forfeit your life. And since I have lost, I cannot reap your soul. Don't think you were the first to have struck such a deal."
 
"Wait, what happens now?"
 
"As I said... | Ol' D sat in silence as he comprehended my shenaniganous machinations. Bested 'fore the game had begun. I took another long breath of paint thinner.
"So, I'm immortal now, right?" I puffed at the old fogey, wringing his hands and soaking his tan suit in sweat. "Spit it out, I may have all day but I ain't wastin' it."... | |
[WP] Your wealthy relative has died and the funeral is coming up. The will stipulates that the funeral-goer that delivers the best eulogy inherits everything. Your late relative left scoring criterion that no one knows except the lawyer that will be judging at the funeral. | I had been pacing back and forth outside the funeral home entrance for an hour. Listening to sad voice after sad voice start their eulogies with something like, "Dad, Uncle, My friend will be sorely missed." I could barely keep myself from gagging. He had died just over a week ago, and everyone in the family or immedia... | It's not everyday you go to a funeral dressed in your Sunday best. Maybe your Sunday second-best.

Her performance had been impressively dramatic, for her finale she'd even collapsed to her knees sobbing in grief.
Respectively he walked up taking her place at the pulpit. He cleared his throat then declared in a loud booming voice.
"You lot are a right bunch ... | It's not everyday you go to a funeral dressed in your Sunday best. Maybe your Sunday second-best.

The line of people hoping to strike gold snaked around the entire graveyard before going out into the parking lot and eventually through the city. Police had to shutdown entire highways to make room for the millions of people to stand in ... | I missed cousin Mark.
Cousin Mark was one of the most stand up guys that you could have ever wished to be around. Standing at a massive six feet and four inches tall, weighing what was roughly 250lbs of raw muscle, he had a brain which you would think belonged on your stereotypical nerd, and despite him looking absolu... | |

Your late relative left scoring criterion that no one knows except the lawyer that will be judging at the funeral. | As much as I hated him, I couldn't help but to miss him. My dad wasn't the best when he was alive. Always judging and controlling everything, and as much as he was the reason why I moved when I turned eighteen, I had to go to his funeral. He raised me after all. And my family would kill me if I didn't go.

With the advent of superpowers, this question quickly shot to the forefront of everyone's mind. To some, it was maintaining order in society. To others, it was people getting what they deserved.
