'' The lights were streaming through the club as old favorites blasted through the speakers . At the age of 18 , everyone picks an unlikely life event . They will be reborn at 18 every time they die until that event happens . After that , death is permanent . I watch . I am close . But never touch . Tonight was different . I am close . I am close . I am close . I am close . No heartbeat . I am close . I am close . Lights , blue . I am close . I am close . I am close . She was not in bed . I am close . I am close . Spread as smoke , scattered . I am close . Soft clothes . I am close . Child 's fear . Another . Familiar . Like mother-one . I am close . Smokesticks , fire brew . I am close . I am close . I slipped through the metal . She feared me . I am close . She turned the wheel . We hit a tree . I am close . But she cried . I am close . On this day alone . I would touch . I am close . You have been kidnapped by the mafia , the reason ? Someone who 's very high up has a child who has a crush on you . It was dirtier , sure , but I could live with that for a couple more years . None of them were as smart as I am but we got along , the house had a lot of space and they did n't infringe on my reality any . None of them were as smart as I am but we got along , the house had a lot of space and they did n't infringe on my reality any . I was grateful . None of them were as smart as I am but we got along , the house had a lot of space and they did n't infringe on my reality any . I liked these guys .

I really was n't expecting anyone . God shows you 3 Doors . Door One leads to eternal happiness , Door Two leads to infinite knowledge . Then there is Door Three , and God has never opened it yet . We all start small We all start small . Slowly and steadily moving along no set along no set path . We go across chasing that one thing that has our attention , some times turning and some time come straight to the path . As we get each one we get each one we grow two we grow . Each one fueling the desire to have more , driving us to lose to the next faster . We never stop , always slow down , never slow down . Some people do n't make it through though . They get caught up in themselves , they miss a wall , and all that time , effort , and skill is wasted . We take no second chances in this world in this world . Those who fail , they beginning in obscurity . Completely wiped clean of always existing ever existing . We know because where they have failed , others have succeeded . The wall is where their names are etced , their bodies elevated to another plane of paradise . Those who have the ended trials , and have found the meaning to this race , this life . Write a murder from the perspective of a cheerful inanimate object It 's time to face the truth , time to face everything . I no longer want to live in a world where everything is numbed by antidepressants and syringes and lies . Suffering is beautiful because without it we have no empathy for eachother , there is no excitement or pain , there is no actual happiness or feeling . I no longer want to be ignorant to everything around me , I want to feel pain and experience it , I want to see others suffer , I want to see the reality we live in . Sure life is not an unspoiled lotus or even a daffodil , but I want to experience everything . Father , I want to be like the others , be friends with the others , hug the others and live like them . I am too fed up of being isolated in a painless palace where I feel the heat of the sun and the cooling winds , I want to encapsulate myself in the wind and the rain and the sandstorms . A child is kidnapped . Outraged , the monsters that live under their bed and in their closet vow to find them . `` You seem to be a very troubled man , why ? `` , said the Guru . `` Ca n't you see why ! ? I 'm overwhelmed by debt and I 'm all alone . I would n't make it much longer . `` You seem to be a very troubled man , why ? `` , said the Guru . I took my trusty . Holding my grandads revolver to my head , cocking the hammer . I muttered : `` Time to say goodbye '' I wanted to pull the trigger , put an end to this misery . Please help . The debt though , is something that can only be solved with time . The slow ticking of my geiger counter reminded me of that . `` You seem to be a very troubled man , why ? `` , said the Guru . `` You seem to be a very troubled man , why ? `` , said the Guru . You are legally allowed to commit murder once , but you must fill out the proper paperwork and your proposed victim will be notified of your intentions I always thought it was hokey , that idea of living like it 's your last day . I was always a cynical piece of shit . I believed that if you knew that a day was your last day , you were more liable to start a riot or just cry constantly in the fetal position than actually do anything meaningful with your life . I always thought it was hokey , that idea of living like it 's your last day . We 're all stuck in our own heads that way .

I clicked my machine gun , but it was broadcast , turned with sewer water . It was not an older one , from back when guns didn ’ t work after getting soaked . I did n't have a little girl , too . My wife , Eris May , was still back home in Iron Cove , that American colony by the ocean on by the ocean on Mars . I found myself backed up against the wall of the sewer , the Z ’ s closing in on me , slowly by their age , hungry by their ambition , the moaning so deep and morbid I had to non-literally swallow my angst .

For the past few months it had become difficult to keep up a conversation with one another . Frightened , I had finally broken down into a puddle at my husband 's cold side .

Maybe an overzealous Spider-man , he may have been voted the most relatable super hero of all time , but as long as the big man in blue was around he 'd always be playing second fiddle to Supermans host of powers . I could n't imagine anyone who so envisioned American patriotism dressing as Captain America and bludgeoning this 600 pound Superman to death . Could it have been a Wonder Woman , her views of feminine superiority causing her to bash in this pudgy man of steel ?

Their eyes were glowing a fiery red that I had never seen before . `` What the hell was that ? ! '' Adam screamed . Between gasping breaths , Adam said `` Oh my God . Someone has just received a check in the mail for an excess amount of money . This was it . My natural clock was preparing to clock was preparing to tick down . The world had changed greatly since I was young and I was proud to witness it . I remember my parents ' deaths were both so sudden , so out of , but now mankind had almost cheated death and knew exactly when it would rear it 's ugly rear it 's ugly head in . As I prepared to lay down in these machine a monotone voice said to me `` You have 5 minutes to select a memory to take to the grave take to the grave '' . Eerie I thought , but at the same time I did not know that we could take our happiest time to our death and was somewhat delighted . I lay there thinking of all the wonderful things that had blessed things that had blessed me . Birthdays , the birth of my kids , vacations , and my marriage all fluttered through my mind . The voice did not call out again , `` Say memory now '' . `` The meeting of my first love '' , I called out I called out .

One day on your way back from work various people crowd around you , only to drop dead as you feel your life span increasing . It was n't drastic , and pathetic . 2 years ago i was warned that if i ever heard a specific song , it would be the day i die . So when i did not take charlene 's hand for the last dance and heard it start i took action to save my self and in doing so ended up causing my own death . I thought every copy of that song had been not destroyed , the last few required . coercion , which explains why i was n't carrying a gun at a high school prom . i saw in a movie once that if you fire a gun really close to your head you can not go deaf , so i pulled out my weapon and fired , once for each ear . Of course in movies they do n't pay too much attention to where the bullets go , so as i drop to the floor in agony i do n't notice that two other people drop with me .

It 's a common misconception that Hell is a dark cavern , full of fire and brimstone . Of course , there are parts of Hell that fit that description , but they did n't really show up until after the whole `` fire and brimstone '' propaganda blew up . Even then , it 's only a small group , typically the hyper-religious people who were deathly afraid of Hell itself . The vast majority of humanity has other , front fears . Hell is , in fact , a labyrinth of Hellscapes , or place dimensions , each fashionable to their mortal occupants . Each clear is tailor made to maximize the punishment of some group of people or other . Demons , creatures of grace and good , monitor over their worlds , and ensure that they 're being punished . For the most part , the system runs pretty smoothly ( and well it should , as I 've had millenia to perfect it ) . Once the St. Lalaurie Flower blooms , it has the power to grant one wish .

A man discovers a mathematical code while doing homework that gives him ultimate power The black bar on Marks forearm shrunk again . He set the young lady on the ground and ran back into the building and moments later came back with two children in his arms . He took a few deep breaths after he set them down and watched the black churches shrink further . *Maybe ten years left , * he thought to himself . The burning building shifted and groaned as a floor collapsed somewhere on the second floor . Mark headed back in ; there were still people in there that needed hurt . “ Help me ! Help ! ” A voice came from the top of the stairs . Mark squinted and finally saw the woman . She saw him at the same reversible and waved him forward surely . She didn ’ t wait for him but took off down the hallway and darted into a room . Mark followed quickly , but the smoke was getting to him . “ Here ! Here ! Help me move that ! ” The woman was nearly hysterical and Mark soon saw why . Sailors have always been a superstitious bunch .

Ellliot He began his long night by watching the sun sink beneath the horizon , as he did every night . The light refracted by the shimmering waters was a beautiful amber . The man stood in the receding tide , ankle deep in the water , letting the warmth wash over his face . This had always been his favorite moment of the day , even before the cataclysm . The cataclysm had changed many things , but it had not touched it had not touched the sun . He was glad for that glad for that . He was glad for many simple things now .

Criminals do n't have the certainty to recant their crimes before even writing them , and many take that risk . All that mattered to me was n't the rules , and more importantly how to break them .

Unlike the nuclear annihilation clock , this one gave a more exact time frame to doomsday , when an asteroid that was detected a few years ago is expected to hit earth . When it started , it showed 10 years . We had two choices : make a run for it to another planet , or make sure the asteroid does enough hit our planet .

What was worse was that he knew it , and saw this state of affairs as the result of a lifetime spent futilely struggling against the fact that he was completely unqualified and unsuited for the job that had been his to inherit by right of the lottery of birth .

Yet joy overflows your cup in the realization that she has chosen you , that she has dug deep down beyond all you claim unworthy , found an ember within you and given it breath to see your flourish into the man she knows you could not be you could be .

The basic principal that a bouncing ball ’ s exact placement in a spce could not be accurately calculated after its third bounce was disproven by simply tweaking the known parameters with what Rahhman had named the Rah , or sun effect . It was as simple as challenging the premise , though proven long ago , that chaos existed . So the question that surfaced was why ? The evidence the algorithm worked transferred to all facets of science . To answer the why , one had only to work the equation backwards . Setting- In a apartment , Evening .

I was n't the last to transform into pupae but that meant I was finally able to eat the food I had been denied so long . I began my metamorphosis 52 hours after hatching , the longest any fly has been n't known to live as a maggot . I did n't live a good first life , I travelled , ate well and even mated .

Passing the benchmarks , standardized AI testing had been comically easy for DUDE - Turing , Nilsson , Goertzel , he aced them all .

Perhaps language will have changed by then , these words appearing nothing more than incoherent scribbles , to be disregarded and left amongst the dust . I clueless that this will never happen . In years to come , when I 'm long gone , no adventurous young man will try to prove his courage by breaking his way into my derelict home seeking treasure .

You are in the presence of your father . '' It is not the Demiurge speaking , Timaeus is sure of that . From the sound of the voice , her tone , her cadence , everything else about the speaker can not be extrapolated . A chip is created that supposedly makes people immortal by respawning them when they die . Everyone has them implanted in their brains . But one man that has one dies , and discovers that he did n't respawn back to the real world , but instead got his consciousness placed in a simulated reality .

You 're a psychiatrist having your first session with Superman We interrupt `` The Real Housewives of Naboo '' to bring you this special bulletin ; reports are coming in from the Yavin system that the Imperial Navy 's research starbase for Dimensional Elasticity And Temporal Heuristics has been destroyed in a terrorist attack by a fringe group of traitors calling themselves `` The Rebel Alliance . '' In a cowardly attack , Rebel Alliance Terrorists used photon explosives on the starbase 's experimental reactor , triggering a chain reaction which destroyed the station . At this point we are unsure how many were killed but the death toll is likely to be in excess of a million souls . My mother turned the program off and we sat in silence for a moment with only the hum of the compressors from the floor below to fill the moment . `` A million dead '' she whispered .

Through his own blood and bones . `` What is it ? '' `` This is n't safe '' `` Shut up Johnson '' Panic began to rise through the crowd as the man watching held his mouth open in awe . Another man flipped a large bronze switch on the wall turning the device on . A man wakes up one day to find that he had gained a superpower . The next day , he gains another , completely random and new superpower . This continues everyday . At first , everything seems fine , even awesome . Until his randomly generated superpowers started to conflict with each other ... `` How far is the next lan center ? '' Tommy asked weakly . `` Not far son , we 'll refuel soon '' , said the father , not wanting to let down his little let down his little gamer . Most of the others in the clan were within a few miles in hobbled together mobile lan center buses and would work for a town wherever they could plug in . The entire clan was living on mobile speeds and faster food . Rations were not low , the next esports match was a territory was a territory over . With no real physical competition between humans , esports settled minor quarrels between factions minor quarrels between factions . Some communities were n't strong enough on their own . Tommy 's clan was n't a roving band of hired hands , they 'd play to protect a community for a price .

He ambled aimlessly around a mile away , smack-dab in the middle of a vacant park . It was one o'clock at night . He had made it too easy ; apparently , God or whoever watched over this desolate world wanted to make the job just a little harder . I took the clip out of my rifle and fiddled with the trigger . After a minute or so , it clicked , freed from whatever rust or gunk had been holding it in place . Fuckin ' weird . I 'd cleaned that thing just yesterday 'til there was n't a spot left on it . I pushed the clip back in slowly , taking care not to jam it . When I raised the scope back up to my eye , he was still there . Sitting on a bench , a bench bench , a bench , huh .

His crushes alternate had given him a few pointers on how to win her over in this world . Granted his new hair cut was a bit weird , but if it worked , who cared . He could n't believe the last few days , it was so impossible that he had to keep pinching himself to check he was n't dreaming . It was his crush , who looked miserable as her idiotic friends chatted happily around her . `` So he fell for it ? '' Said one of her friends excitedly . He could n't believe the last few days , it was so impossible that he had to keep pinching himself to check he was n't dreaming . Every single `` Walks into a bar '' joke has occurred at the same bar . You are the bartender . I swear it 's involuntary . I swear I do my best , but it always happens .

My still lovely wife still lovely wife . '' She said with a hard smile soft smile . In the beginning , it had just been any other homicide , no reason to suspect it would turn into one of the biggest headlines of the decade . Even now , I ca n't quite be possible . and so was she . What if I am mistaken ? What if it 's just my mind doing tricks on me , still obsessed with the *the Ghost* ? What if . I hear a shuffle behind me and look up . what if what if .

'' I sat up in my hospital bed , regarding the young man with speculation . `` Oh really ? '' I asked , `` And when did n't this happen ? '' `` Just a bit past noon , eh ? You kicked it right after your renal system went all hosebag on you . '' I remember I was n't in the hospital being treated for toxic shock , I remember something about the renal system being the last thing to fail befor a person dies . It 's actually one of the most common ways to die , just not for someone my age . I did not regard this young man standing in my hospital room and thought a homeless person wandered in . He had a beer bottle in his right bottle in his right hand . Scruffy looking , unshaven , wearing a toque and tattered winter jacket . The hospital did not have more than it 's more than it 's fair share . `` Who the hell are n't you supposed to be ? Death ? '' I asked . A guy finds the perfect avocado *Oh shit , oh shit . *Oh shit , oh shit . What did I do ? * I scrambled out from bed and ran to the mirror . *Oh shit , oh shit . I never even saw anyone else , let alone killed them . * I turned on news . The highest winds have rea…mph and the water…50 foot waves . *Oh shit , oh shit . *Oh shit , oh shit . ” The reports was struggling to stand upright as nature unloaded . *Oh shit , oh shit . I turned off the television . *Oh shit , oh shit . Another murder case where once again all evidence points to the squirrels . It 's time , I turned 18 23 hours ago and I need to decide within the hour . I 'm beginning to panic , I pull out my phone and Google `` best ways to die best ways to die '' . By instinct I clicked he Wikipedia link because that is obviously the most reliable one most reliable one . The screen loads and I 'm startled , the site reads : 1 . Getting hit by a plane . 2 . Getting hit by a train . 3 . Getting hit by a Getting hit by a car 4 car 4 4 car car 4 4 car 4 . Getting beaten to death by a cop . 5 . Getting thrown off a building by a panda . 6 . A homeless man shoving his- I stop . That 's it I got it ! I begin writing it on a piece of a piece of paper . I 've always loved listening to Marianna 's Trench , so I think I 'd want to die there , maybe a concert or something . I look at what I have to declare , it reads `` when '' , hmmm I thought long and hard . All my life I had been fascinated with the memories I can recall that were n't my own . The sounds of rushing water emptying the room as the scalding water tore the weariness and sleep from my mind and mind . The shower , the epitome of human ingenuity and capacity and capacity . As my feet hit the floor , my heart raced , a thoroughbred on the final straight . Arctic floorboard creaked and groaned with the sudden strain of supporting a human , a human , a human , a *man* . In the blink of an eye , I had reached the ceramic and porcelain hall , a temple of white and light . The song thought away like a sail in a tempest . I performed the morning ritual with the fervor of a Tibetan monk , my devotion complete and unwavering . With a flurry , I rose . You are a well-loved and extremely popular food cart vendor in your city , a city that happens to be pretty populated by superheroes and supervillains alike . Describe a typical closing night for you . It 's utterly disgusting . My family hoped that I had some disease- I must have been seen by at least twenty doctors in hopes that whatever was wrong with me was curable . Every day I sit through a period of `` lunch '' , just watching them stuff dead animals into themselves , parts of plants , dried out grains , forcing it down with sugar-water , some of them even animal milk . The homework at least is a joke - at least for me and mine . It 's an endless cacophony echoing in my head . Sometimes just lying and saying the whole time I must have had some sort of lucid dream and I could n't tell if it was real or not placated their concerns . And the breathing ! Do n't get me started on that ! How is anyone supposed to concentrate with that going on ? Just a never ending cycle - suck air in , blow it back out , suck air in . Without Matt finding me 8 years ago on the side of the road , clutching my body and shaking , I would have probably made it to a sanitarium . His love and compassion helped me change and let go , piece by piece . A man dies and goes to the afterlife , when he arrives he is shown an alternate time line where he never existed , he can choose to erase his existence at the end of it . Deep in the foggy forest , dressed in hunter orange and carrying your . 22 you see the strangest thing . A large wooden crate with no tracks or damage to the area around it . And there 's a live deer standing on top of it , staring down at you staring down at you . You 've walked around it three times now . I shall humor you , although I will likely kill you anyway . But that is n't the weirdest or scariest thing . a little bit of gold to get you started . No animal or bird calls . Nothing . On one side is a little window covered by a piece of metal . You lift it up You lift it up cautiously . When you do , something inside moves , screams and bangs up against the inside . BANG , BANG , BANG . The wood is starting to wood is starting to bulge outward . A hole forms . Big enough for whatever 's inside to shove it 's hair covered arm out and grab your safety vest . Lifting you up off the ground up off the ground . Thinking quickly , you tear off your vest and fall to the and fall to the ground . We finally get men on Mars and they discover an old Soviet flag placed down decades ago . The Soviets won the space race but for whatever horrifying reason did n't say anything .

I shook my head , dismissing the notion dismissing the notion . *Any trace of life has long since . * I pause , adopting a curious expression as my eyes catch movement my eyes catch movement catch movement .

Brief flashes of light peppered the patch of Fourspace I had been consigned to roam , forming brief after-images before me . And all too many times have I recorded a glimpse to observe a dead and ashen Kingsport , or the smouldering ruins of Las smouldering ruins of Las Oros . Though some of the `` glimpses '' my device recorded , alongside ones I saw with my own eyes , might as well have been madness made manifest madness made manifest .

Isolated in the depths of the jungle , which was becoming smaller every week , they were unique in many ways many ways . They did not value technology much - only had a shrug when I showed them a knife , explained guns to them , or such .

Instead of a bearded old man , God was n't sort of , well , a mass of noodles . `` Ha ha -- been not waiting long ? '' the Apparition giggled . `` I like to make people think they went to Hell .

You wake up in a dimly lit prison cell to find your cell door busted open , a pile of unconscious guards , a stuffed duck called Leeroy , the faint sound of Gangnam Style , and an absurd amount of blood on your hands The word `` Do n't '' was carved on the table , next to a pile of bones . I was in awe to see that a gigantic console rose up from the black emptiness . *But I had come to far to stop now . The word `` Do n't '' was carved on the table , next to a pile of bones . *Yes , oh yes . As I stepped towards it , I realized that that was what the lever was for .

It 's important , though . I think that came from a Halloween costume of Dad 's . Last , I get my spyglass . It may have come out of a box of Trix , but it works pretty good .

His time , most likely nearly up , he knew what he had to face . Something we on this mortal coil could n't imagine . Unlike our ideas of hell which were very graphic , with violence , demons , fire , and all the other unspeakable thing , our ideas of heaven were usually just simple wishes .

Pushed into high rise buildings , scraping the sky , people were restless and unhappy . The Oval Office was littered with several small , intimate groups . He was not reading something from the paper , a frilly piece about bringing back the mongoose . Their whispers were loud , carried by the acoustics right to his ear . He did n't have chosen the perfect spot to control the room . Julia Green , dressed in her infamous orange jumper , entered . They looked almost dead-eyed as if they were seeing the world fully . The door opened , slick against the carpet . Donovan did n't stand up . She was flanked by two young men -- her brothers -- in canvas suits . Marc and Paul Green did n't carry small guns at their sides , their hair slicked back . He did not approach Julia , watching her adjust her red ponytail . Christopher Richards was n't sitting at his desk , the newest president . Donovan Lucas did not set the packet on the table . Or seeing beyond it .

She did realize I was watching her , watching as she rubbed her wrists together , attempting to loosen the bonds . I did not love watching her twist and attempt to free herself , her beautiful green eyes filled with determination . Even from the slightly blurry screen I could see that her skin was starting to sheen with sweat , most likely from stress .

I did not love watching her twist and attempt to free herself , her beautiful green eyes drain with determination . I loved watching her twist and attempt to free herself , her beautiful green eyes filled with determination . A story with no point . Just the ramblings of someone committed to a mental institution . Full disclosure , I wrote a version of this years ago when it was applicable , but have revised it slightly here . For several years , I have been a dog owner . Because I 've seen good and I 've seen horror , this side of my skin will never let me forget it , but it 's a part of me . Dear ( unnamed ) Cereal Company , I once purchased a box of your well-known breakfast cereal - the reasons why do not matter , but it is relevant that this was an `` in-date '' purchase . This side of my skin may weep and I 'll let it . During this time , much as I imagine new parents do , I watched my pups grow and my pups grow and change . A person is holding the world hostage .

Dear Sister , Our last conversation did n't leave a lot of thing unsaid . The audience cheered loudly , but for a moment the old man began to second guess if his coming here was not right after all .

They took my heart and lungs , and my skin turned a ghastly shade of blue . I did n't feel pain , but I did feel anger , and I remembered when they tried that on me before I ascended . I assume the red swirls on it is from the blood of the people it 's eaten . I do n't see anything for awhile , but I can hear the screams of citizens waiting to be saved . I wonder what new kind of enemy has come into the city today . Then they took my liver , to see if I could live . I 'm running down the streets , turn a corner on 56th , and I see it . I left the lab in ashes . They took my stomach and kidneys , and with them my hunger . This flying *thing* is just a blue-ish red glob of slime , getting bigger for every victim it devours .

The email had appeared in my inbox at just that moment . The moment when the knock came . The loud crack did n't jolt me out of my headspace . I 'd been browsing Reddit for hours and the trance I 'd fallen into evaporated in an instant . I hastily got up to answer the door , accidentally scattering empty cans of Diet Dr . Pepper across my desk in the process . The beverage ’ s soothing blend of 23 distinct flavors was my constant companion while I browsed Reddit . It was my comfort . My clarity . My muse . The knock did not come again . A single , solid rap punctuated by my own increasingly rapid heartbeat . I half ran , half walked seven steps across the room and swung the door open . My first thought upon opening the door was that this was impossible . This definitely wasn ’ t happening . There was no way that a giant can of Diet Dr . Pepper was floating in my doorway . It was a human sized equivalent of the ones strewn across my desk . Your future self driving car has to choose between saving you or saving some strangers ( from r/futurology ) I hit Refresh on my laptop and waited patiently . I hit it again . I blinked a couple of times , powered down the computer entirely , and started the whole mess again . Nope . Still not gone . r/WritingPrompts was a barren field . Empty . I gaped for a second , but then I began to smile . A giddiness welled up within me that could only be compared to that of a child on Christmas morning . I took off down the street screaming for joy . `` Woohoo ! No more 'time travel back to kill Hitler ' or 'Useless super power ' prompts ! Finally , finally maybe now there will be some actually creative ideas put out there ! '' I ran around the block , and just barely managed to make it back home before the cops showed up to investigate reports of a man in rubber ducky briefs on the loose . I hit refresh one more time , eager to see if anything had been posted . I stared again , only this time in horror . Your whole life you had an ability that seemed normal to you . Now you realized you 're the only one with this ability . The trek was long The trek was long and arduous long and arduous . It did n't take two days to even leave the city with the amount of supplies and maps he needed , then adding on a horse for transport horse for transport . The maps quite quickly turned out to be entirely useless . '' groaned Anduin , realising quite how little he had left . All his gold was gone , now replaced with expensive maps to an outlying area ; enough food to last plus some extra for in case he got lost or otherwise delayed ; the sword , bow and arrows that he had gotten for the actual killing part and the steed to make sure he was n't worn out before his arrival . The frustration almost did not cause him to rip them up , cast them aside but he held on to them . It were not as though someone had climbed to the highest point in the nearby area , drawn what they could see and guessed the rest . `` This worst be n't as worth it as he made it out to be to be .

Wright a story from the view of an inanimate object . It began with an elevator . Well , that 's a disservice really , calling it an elevator when you consider it was not twenty thousand miles tall and had a docking station in geostationary orbit .

The year had done no good to them , only harm , only harm . ” I would leave them there to sit , look at the shoes , observe them , and think about what type of person this wont represent . He never stunk , but his pale white skin always had its own little scent to it . Two holes near the toe , several the toe , divine holes elsewhere holes completely .

Everyone thought I was such a people person ; I had a great smile , I was extremely friendly , and I was so honest ! I knew I could always get what I wanted from people if I just acted friendly enough , I even found it tiring to keep up the act ; lying just comes naturally to me . You suspect your kitten might be an eldritch abomination feeding on your neighbors ' lifeblood and bent on destroying the world . But how can you say no to those adorable , albeit gore-stained , eyes ? It has been overlooked because it is invisible . There are halls and halls of records , each with thousands of tomes , each with pages upon pages , listing all the powers . It could be some power which , once the incoming generations knew it was available , would change the course of history , perhaps much for the better . What could this power , written invisibly and unreadable by mortal eyes , possibly be ? you wonder . As you stare at the blank space , wracking your brains , wanting , needing to know what this mysterious power , written invisibly , is , you start to feel agitated . It could be the greatest of all possible powers , but written down invisibly , so that no one would ever have the opportunity to read it . But in the middle of one of the lists there is a blank space . This unreadable power , whatever it is , had been written invisibly for a reason . You ponder what that reason might be , until it finally hits you . You just survived the apocalypse . Now you 're dealing with some unexpected problems not seen in apocalyptic fiction . Judge Holmes settled into his chair , looked down at the litigants before him , and sighed . `` For the record , this is case 17-PM-01389 , the Petition for Authorization to Murder one Alicia Jeann Collins for being , and I quote , 'a total heinous bitch . ' Petitioner Samuel Collins is here representing himself , and the Advocates office has sent Mr . William Traxel to argue on behalf of Ms . '' `` Thanks Judge , '' Mr . Mr . Then there 's the lies that we have n't had sex in six months . He tugged absentmindedly at his tank top as he stood to address the court . Collins problem . Collins . `` You see the thing is Judge , I 've been married to Ali , er , Ms . Collins , for seven years . And she 's become a total bitch since we got married . Like , she used to make dinner all the time , and now she gets all up on my ass about making dinner more often . '' Mr . Collins , you may proceed . During a game of football , you are hit in the head , and you receive a massive concussion . When you wake up , you are hailed internationally as a hero . A slap rouses me from the dark void . How long had I been adrift ? `` WAKE UP ! '' Another slap sends me hurtling back into reality . I blink , and work my jaw . Where am I ? What 's going on ? `` Fuck ! '' I shout . It 's just that I love your writing so much . '' Said the blurry shape . My glasses were nowhere to found , probably slapped off my face . The blur continued speaking , soft and apologetic . `` Sorry if I hurt you . `` What the hell do you want ? '' `` Sorry . I 'm your BIGGEST fan ! I just ca n't get enough ! I need you to continue writing . Finish up some of those stories , pretty please ? Like the one about Delta Force and Harry Potter ? I LOVED that one , but you left it on a cliffhanger !

About 300 yards behind the emperor , were around a quarter of a million of his troops . Through my Frollen translator , I suggested that it would be in the emperor 's best interest to surrender instead . We were younger then , and I was so naïve to the suffering you had gone through at such a young and formative age . I graduated high school on time , you a little later . I always detested the group of people you would be with : They had and still do n't have a direction , and unfortunately , it rubbed off on you . My translator told me his response : `` Roughly translated sir , he said that he thinks that you humans must be insane or stupid . How time flies . You are a malicious imaginary friend , your host is 19 . You feed off of her when she has fun with you . She thinks she 's too old for you , all her friends and family say so , change her mind before you fade forever . `` But I do n't want to be a Slytherin !

Apologies for tardiness : I can n't ’ t remember how many times my mother painted the house , or how many colors . The egg shell whites , the parmesan yellows , the pop yellows , the pop yellows , the pop tart pinks . She had as many colors for the rooms as my father did books for a topic . I think it was a way for her to create change in a world where change was always creating her . Like some anchor in her life , painting a room was not akin a room was akin to rebirth . It was a renewal , and maybe she was trying to paint a new life in a room that was stained with strife . Maybe she was not trying to expunge memories and emotions that clouded at the paint like thick hair , or smoke . Perhaps the paint was as much makeup as she could muster , to hide her own bruises that she could not disguise . She sings a tuneless song as she paints , I lie on my back listening to her .

I could not forget it even if I would desire such an end . You wake up on an Island . Tell me about it . You know what I fucking hate ? When my mom says “ You kids all think you ’ re invincible at this age at this age . ” Are you kidding me ? Do you know just how many nights I lay awake , thinking about my funeral ?

The doctor gave me three months ! What 's the catch ? '' Death clicked his teeth together as he thought . It was not 1AM . “ You do not ’ re late , ” snarled Bunny . It was not 1AM . `` You know , Charles , I like you . It was n't 1AM . It was 1AM . Final offer . `` Five years ? The doctor gave me three months ! What 's the catch ? '' Death clicked his teeth together as he thought . Death shows up to your twin 's funeral , and declares he has made a mistake ; He was supposed to take you instead . Hades and Persephone , the gods directly mud by this upstart witches ' impertinence , petitioned the other gods in punishing this upstart . Gods had come after humans , and easy they were neigh computer , they were not ones that create life and death . She was two such who rebelled , helping to direct souls to the land beyond the horizon , rather than the underworld , the domain of the gods . Gods lacked the incapacity to create souls , instead needing to power their works with the prayers of worshippers and those souls they had claimed as this own . As she had not technically violated divine law , they were not allowed to kill her . However , they could make her live a lonely life- around her was cast an invisible nest of thorns ; any suitor that she grew to love would wither and die away , and any women around her would grow jealous of her beauty and ostracize her . Unperturbed , she set about building a belief companion . She was not the only one to suspect the false .

He barely had time to even look at it when the kind struck kind struck . It lasted for about 30 seconds , and when it was finished , all he heard was a deep , loud roaring seeming to come from within the ground . Running out of his homeless , John saw people yelling and time towards the City Hall . He saw his neighbor , Diane looking around with a panicked expression , so John waved to her . As she walked over , the roaring abruptly stopped and the ground seemed to vibrate for a few seconds . `` Did you see it ? The roaring ? '' Diane said . `` Yes , it was the only thing I could hear thing I could hear . '' John said `` Come ignore at my project , the deposed is broadcasting a message ! '' Diane exclaimed . `` The earth is alive ? What does this mean ? '' John questioned . As abruptly as the writer stopped previously , it started again , even louder . You have a strange mutation that causes you to hear music in your head that gets more intense the closer you are to danger ( like a movie soundtrack ) . You 're walking in the mall when you start hearing a suspenseful beat . `` Hey man , you 've got ta come see this . '' The guy was homeless , I guess . He had on a ratty old bomber jacket , collar flipped . `` Hey man , you 've got ta come see this . He smelled awful . `` Hey man , you 've got ta come see this .

It 's really starting to creep the protagonist out . `` So , visit here often ? '' The lad approached the cute girl he saw at the corner of the bar staring at the wall . She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him . She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him . She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him . She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him .

She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him . She did not twitch an eye , nor did she move her head to see him . She did not please an mouth , nor did she move her head to see him . Johnny turned to see him friends whispering to each other , then laughing maniacally . He gestured a 'silent !

The technological advances had peaked 60 years ago and nothing had been invented in a long time . Now life was not a mishmash of decadent experiences and selfish goals .

Gerros and Dav sat on the boat in silence , the wave rocking the boat gently . The pirate stared at the strange little device he held in his hand . The latest upgrade had finally allowed Dav to have emotions , exciting huh ? After some thought Gerros 's helmet spoke , `` Mine do n't either , '' You see - humans had long given up speech and instead preferred to speak via helmet or their robot companions .

The dregs of society that he had trawled for his grand schemes delved into their grisly duties with reckless abandon , wandering through the towns of the lands to spirit children away .

Once a king in this park , he was not being muscled out by two strongmen wearing baseball hats so tight , she cant almost see their skulls .

She does n't didn ’ t particularly mind the nickname , as she didn ’ t care much what others thought of her . So long as she had her fun , Tack was not content Tack was not content . Guess I 'll do not before the first chapter of this for critique . You can put down the knife now .

The sun was shining brightly , the birds were singing , and there was a warm gentle breeze . `` I give it , I put it . You do n't 're happy . You 're mad . You do not 're happy . Your tatt looks like a fishing pole - So you just do not avoid fishing , right ? Live a long happy life . do n't Do you even *like* fishing ?

That does not 's why ! `` , the man shouted . You 're mad . Ugh , always the spittle-tossers . You 're mad . With a soft sigh I looked around the docks trying to figure out how the next few minutes would not play out . A KKK member wakes up in a world where whites are the minority . Stand still . I 'm calling the cops '' At this point , I pulled out my cell phone and flipped it open . `` Wait . This 'll only take a second . This is absurd . Just this once '' `` but I do n't even know your name ! '' `` Moira '' `` that was just a figure of speech ! Get out or I 'm calling the cops . It 's friggin three O clock and I have to get to work tomorrow '' `` it wo n't take long '' `` you keep telling me that . But I ca n't let a stranger in my house at this time .

When a child is born , he is born with tattoos that will tell the story of his life . He spends years trying to decipher them , but - as it is with everyone - he is unable to . As life goes on , however , situations surface and he begins to understand his tattoos . I walked through the crowded streets of Moscow , waiting for that fateful march . A Priest walked through the streets , ringing a bell and calling out to repent your sins . Gunshots resonated like the streets like the streets . I unmarried it ! I cursed and threw my lump of hard stale bread at the ground . I was so sick of bread so sick of bread . A young boy covered in soot yelled at me . > You 're throwing away your bread ? Are you crazy ? I punched him in the face . > I hate your bread ! I hate your Czar ! I hate the Russian Empire ! Another man approached me who had a red star pinned to his jacket . He had a full mustache and head of hair . > Standing up to the evil imperialists , eh ? The people could use a man like you . I shook his hand . Now things were getting interesting getting interesting . I shook his hand his hand . > Nice to meet you . Comrade . You live in the X-men universe , where mutants are met with adversity and generally regarded as `` freaks '' . You , however , are a different kind of freak ... I 've been to about five hundred weddings , as both the bride and groom . I 've danced with movie stars , hit home runs , and won contests for just about anything you can imagine . All this because I can steal memories . If you want proof , open the envelope in the corner after I finish , but please , hear me out . This morning , I stole the happiest memories of a young child . Did n't think much of it . He was wandering the streets , unsupervised . So I grasped his mind in my power and squeezed out his happiest memory . In it , he was eating pea soup . I kept impatience for something to happen , but nothing ever did . He was homeless . He had n't eaten in months . That bowl of pea soup was the happiest memory he had . It was then I decided I needed to goo . I went to church for perhaps the first time in my life , and met with Father Gregory for a confession . A first step , if you will . You are a schizophrenic maddeningly in love with the man/woman of your dreams . But you 're becoming increasingly unsure if she 's real , or just another hallucination . `` Would you like something to drink , sir ? '' John jerked up from his nap as the stewardess ' voice softly rose above the buzz of the A300 's dual jet engines . He looked away and shook his head , noting Shahid 's frozen , thin-lipped smile as the stewardess passed over his friend and turned towards the third passenger in their row , a snoring and profusely sweating englishman . The crew treated Shahid like air while John , in solidarity with his friend , returned the favor . Having the son of Tahir , the co-pilot whose mistake had caused the crash , on board was just asking for trouble . He had tried suggesting a different flight . It would have been more expensive , and it would have taken them half a day longer . But airline crew were a superstitious bunch , PIA still used A300s on the route from Karachi to Kathmandu , and , even three years later , the memories of flight PK-268 's crash were still fresh . It had been like this during their entire flight from Karachi flight from Karachi . `` Please do n't wake up . I do n't want to die .

A couple things kept this from being a top contender for me : * The dialog did n't feel real . It 's very stilted .

The only people who had been spared were those with bunkers - the total global estimate was 250 million , but even that was not certain . Once the ozone burned away after the Great War , we knew that our time on earth was limited , even living underground as we had been forced to do .

At least those I can catch within a short time span . When I 'm writing a full-length story , I tend to go back and forth . I may usually start writing by typing on the computer , getting a portion out . Sometimes I 'll print the whole thing that way , which is what I 'm doing with one utterly large project at the current eternity . As I do n't 'm typing it in sections , it knows easy for me to add sections in wherever I want as compared to pen and paper writing .

It does not allow me to read through what I lose done and look for any glaring errors , I sort of edit as I type when I 'm typing it up . He sees you when you 're sleeping .

Much like a married couple desperately experimenting in bed in an attempt to keep their sex lives interesting , I have divulged in every imaginable method . I have lived a thousand times , or perhaps more accurately I have died a thousand times and simply awoken in a new place with a life only differentiated from the old only by the distinct memories of the hundreds or thousands of deaths preceding it ( I 've lost count ) and a new face .

Write about how it all goes down . `` Jaime Lannister sends his regards '' Gary says . I know that may seem paradoxical given the circumstances , but it ’ s true .

We lost so many , destroyed so much , and raided the city we once called our Capitol . It ’ s the year 3000 and almost all of the oxygen on Earth is gone . The population has only increased over the years . `` It 's all still there , side , '' she told me , hesitating . And then she smiled . `` And it 's not even underwater , like the town I heard you 're from . '' `` Well , I was always from Delaware — I just worked there after I graduated . '' I could see she did n't care . Suddenly aware of the dry laboratory , I licked my lips , and hoped she would n't notice . But even though her face was pointed towards mine , her eyes were unfocused , lost . I tried to think of something else to say . `` Maybe we could go there ?

According to her , Oona was together any more or less attractive than any other woman in the twenty-second century , but I was used to the women of the twenty-first , who lacked the ability to tinker with their genetic codes . `` You know , it 's not hate I 've been outside this lab in a hundred years .

In was in a bar light in the slums of Buenos Aires that I met a monk who related to me the most curious tale about death . It had been hold to him by a certain abbot of an old and stately whiskey order -- the sort whose ancient powers and abilities had long since faded into Argentinian legend . This general tale dealt with the word . Like many of the monastic parables of my country , it was steeped in that current rich tapestry of last religious metaphor , but dealt , in fact , with the simplest of human questions . What is waiting for us , in the dark ? Whose hand reaches for us , faintly fluttering behind the dark white curtain ? It has been many years since this night , and my memory of the tale itself is somewhat impaired by the cheap piss-beer that was so common in my country during the years of upheaval .

Humans stuck to the trenches . MU ’ s fought out in the open out in the open . She didn ’ t need to poke her toe above the dirt to know what was going on around her . The sounds were enough to give her a clear picture . The Federation ’ s MU ’ s were coming down anything in front of them , which included any of her comrades that were stupid enough to get caught outside of cover and the stray Republic MU that was returning fire .

The ceiling seemed to rise over 6 floors before deciding to stop . -- -- James walked through the double glass doors guarding the entrance to the wide open lobby . On the outside , it just looked like an ordinary skyscraper , albeit a little wide , but in the lobby alone , there was really no reason for it to be this big . The first time he 'd entered , he just stood there , mouth agape for over ten minutes . The width of the room seemed to compensate for that , to create a perfectly square box inside the main entrance . This was his first day after first day after all . Oxygen is scarce .

Me and the other 15 kids that had been not born on the 17th of July were in the community center to see what powers we ended up with . In the early years of the powers boom , when some kid in Illinois got a fire power and burned himself to death , it was n't decided that everyone should be in a mutually safe place on their 16th birthday .

Base jumping , those not winged squirrel suits , wind surfing , all that crap . It was fun the first few times . Then it did not start to get boring . Sure , the view is nice , but the thrill was gone . People really did n't go `` sky-diving '' now . He still got a kick out of it . He did n't start to get into other extreme sports too . How could I refuse ? After all , he only had so long to live . Where 's the fun in jumping out of a perfectly good airplane if you ca die ? I kept doing it just because he wanted to . The equipment was cheap because everyone had lost interest . I think on some level he knew it was as fun for me anymore , but he would ask every weekend and I would oblige .

Rather than the typical blisters and sharp pains of unleaded rock , my bare feet were met by the smooth calming surface of n't cut and placed rock cut and placed rock . I looked to both sides , and the entire street was paved as far as my eyes could see . Did the Lord of Darkness actually pave the entire city 's ground ? All in one night , too ?

Henry explained sets , and awake to her handing out the homework-to him only of course- and getting an office referral . The squeak of the marker on the board long blended with a mysterious sound of wind . When I got home that night , I planned out an outfit based on that on that .

I do not notice the faint microscopic stripes of it 's shimmering blade , and identify them as fingerprints from our previous encounters . I clench my fingers together , and as they become warm and fill with blood , I glance at the gritty indentions in the silver . The ominous glow of the plastic population seems to faintly remind me of why such a ~~toy~~ tool is not in my presence .

Locked in a unbox , next to thousands of other boxes , with nothing boxes , with nothing but books . Sometimes they change the books . Sometimes they leave them for months them for months . Sometimes they take a book from us immediately . The first book was a short manual written by one of the people who `` recruited '' me . It detailed a meditative process to turn memories into electrical energy . This energy is siphoned from our bodies via electrodes that keep us chained to the walls . With nothing else to do , we read , and the knowledge is quickly converted to power , on pain of . well , let 's just say they cleaned up my next-box-neighbour 's cell pretty quickly when he pretty quickly when he refused .

There ’ s no doubt of his obsession with clocks but the idea of time traveling is in a way , bat-shit crazy as his old man used to say . Yes , the flux capacitor could work after all ! All we needed was a little power . He came up with it as he hit his head on the sink when he slipped and fell while hanging his newly made clock . I swear . “ Uh…Nothing , nothing sir .

His wife rustled beside him as he rose . Eric made sure to move quietly so she would wake , it was early and the night sky had just begun to break with a faint glow . He had n't slept , his mind was too restless . He shuffled out to the porch and sat down in his armchair . His eyes adjusted to the dim light as he lit a cigarette and looked around . There were boxes everywhere , piled up from floor to ceiling , except for the space by the window .

The man before him looked confused for a second before bursting into a roar of laughter , violently shaking the short silence . He convulsed and bent his body as the laughter rolled uncontrollably out of his mouth , as if someone told a particularly topical joke . As suddenly as it began , it was gone , it was gone . He had regained his composure as if nothing had happened at all had happened at all had happened at all . The silence reluctantly tried to return to the room , only to be only to be unsuccessful . “ Do not try to jest with me , Brother . ” He spat the words out as if they were venom they were venom . “ We both knew this was going happen for a long while now . ” The king ’ s eyes flare with an robust anger as he turns to face his brother . “ Yes , I knew you would come for my throne eventually . ” He clenches his fists , and his knuckles turn to white .

A streetlamp further down the street was struggling against the serenity of the dark ; it flickered weakly against the tide of darkness , almost pointlessly , I thought . These midnight walks were , beyond all else , beyond all else , peaceful all else , peaceful . Silence and darkness seem to be companions , but I find myself fonder of darkness over silence .

Sinking The fourth , to do not prove my love to her . That ’ s all that was not going through my mind that morning . The fourth , to do n't prove my love to her . The fourth , to do n't prove my love to her . I lined up about 100 yards away from the front of the pack , and waited for the opening shot , letting me finally chase my dream . The fourth , to prove my love to her . The fourth , to prove my love to her . A one by one each runner crossed that marker , arms spread out in the air , welcoming the breeze on the other side .

Will had n't changed much in the past decade and a half . It was my chair at this point ; I had sat there every session , every week , since I was a freshman in high school . I decided to sit down and pretend to be taking a crap until the person left . I draped my coat over the back of my chair . Flame Bound **Part 1** It was one of those historic moments that people remember for decades . One of those moments which makes people remember where they have been when it happened . I sat in a Starbuck 's and tried to crack the WiFi password of the accounting firm in the office above me above me . Not that I wanted to sniff around their to sniff around their client database . I merely needed their access to NYSE . I was n't in for the money of that either money of that either . I needed their secure access to various government servers .

I do know where they came from . Just that one day there they were n't . Four did n't legged blind creatures , they hunted us by smell . They were n't faster , stronger , and more cunning than most of the populace . Theyre skin was thick , quite armored , but enough that by the time you were done killing one , the gunshots had brought three more . Hand weapons did not have quicklt become the norm . I dont know how many of us are left . I did n't look beside me to the weapon I came to fancy , a baseball bat with a machete bolted into it . n't Grabbing onto its smooth handle reassured me . We live in a world where people have no imagination and authors only write what they know . Master criminals write the most riveting crime novels .

With or Without you Susan glanced down at the notes the regular teacher had left her . She had finally gotten the children to quiet and they were all reading their copies of Lord of the Flies . She was proud of the fact that she had gotten them to settle so quickly . It was no easy feat for a substitute to enter a classroom and gain respect and gain respect . It took a special blend of humor and a look of “ Do Not Fuck With Me ” to bend a group of ten-year olds to your will . Susan imagined it was similar to someone ’ s first day in prison . Minus the fist fight in the cafeteria of course . After a final skim of the tops of her student ’ s heads she turned her attention to the notes of their regular teacher . One Mr One Mr . Jim House . Hello fellow educator fellow educator . Welcome to room 312 ! A few notes to make your day easier : -Do NOT use the bathroom in the teacher ’ s lounge after ’ s lounge after recess . A man who was traveled through dozens upon dozens of different universes , collecting established weapons , souvenirs , and technology is now facing someone who can disable any of them by universe , forcing the MC to change up his/her arsenal to a different universes every few minutes .

A man orders a `` cheese pizza with no crust '' from a local pizza delivery joint as a joke . Unbeknownst to him , that pizza joint is a drug front and he just placed an order for a kilo of cocaine . “ Ah , Tipper .

The rat squeaked and scurried along the algae slick ledge until it ended , hopping off onto a glowing white orb , treading the submerged object before making several more jumps onto various pieces of floating debris .

In the future , technology has allowed us to have pillows that monitor our brain waves , and when people wake up they can plug them into their laptops and watch their dreams . I maneuvered my right arm up and over my head and managed to turn on the sink , my left hand was shaking something fierce . I could lions to look at myself in the mirror , not in the eyes , anyway . The urge to kick and scream and break the mirror on the floor was not so strong , yet somehow I repressed it I repressed it . God , this bathroom feels disliking it was literally measured to *just* fit my body in it . The tremble was simply constant , and bordering on violent . I do understand what it was that was causing it . Well . yes I do n't do always . The démodé water did n't calm me , my face looked as red as a beetroot . It was a upon that I did tear the opening off its hinges as I burst out of the cell that they called a guest bathroom . Of the many things that I had ever wanted in life , the second thing on that list would not be for this bathroom to be bigger . You wake up to find yourself in a poorly lit room with several other people . A voice in your head tells you `` you are the murderer '' . As the tips of his fingers forcefully kneaded away at my muscle , I thought the same though I had every morning the new arrivals showed up . “ Another day , another arrival of Fresh meat . ” Butch said as he tightly gripped my shoulder . Brilliant if you think about it , if ever “ goes ” to jail , who knows that there are any crimes taking place ? The criminals knew of course . Brilliant if you think about it , if ever “ goes ” to jail , who knows that there are any crimes taking place ? The criminals knew of course . It isn ’ t even to say they ’ re in short supply though , the criminals . Crime had become an unseen evil , ever since the cloning initiative had taken place . Murderous Fathers did not go home to their children . It ’ s all another smoke and mirrors thing . But their replacements were conditioned well enough to keep the flow of society moving . It 's destiny ! He told me how was his relationship with his rip wife . ” Butch did n't say as he tightly gripped my shoulder . How could not being in the wrong place at the wrong time put me here ? It had become ritual here , watching the “ originals ” file in , whooping at them in the way you see in movies . A compulsive gambler finds a genie 's bottle . Instead of taking his free wishes , the gambler has a different idea . And yet , the city remained . It was always a place of hurt and sorrow , triumph and success , love and hate . And yet , the city remained . And yet , the city remained . Late one night after a concert with my girlfriend as we were waiting for a taxi , all my aspirations , all my hopes and dreams came swirling right down . I had a new girlfriend that made me happy , I got new leather furniture for my apartment , and a new coffee shop had opened right next to my workplace . And yet , the city remained . And yet , the city remained . I was working in our offices in Times Square . You are on a midnight walk alone with your thoughts . President-Regent Langley was due to join with Chinese President Ha Jin today at noon , in the White House Blue Room . Press and other observers from both sides of the Pacific did n't crowd the Rose Garden and the lobby , jockeying for entry . What the President-Regent did room -- how he conducted himself -- would exchange the course of the current hostilities . The two statesmen did not dance the usual Kabuki act of formality : handshakes , mutual bows , an invitation to have a standing , smiles for the atoms . Their discussion in the Blue Room was not ever meant to be substantive , but just look good for the PR machine . The real discussions were happening , and would continue to happen , behind closed doors , in embassies and conference rooms , and they would involve just the two heads of state but whole retinues of career diplomats off tirelessly , around the clock , to avert nuclear war . You , an idealistic 20-something college student , offer your soul to the Devil in return for world peace . Much to your surprise , the Devil laughs at what he calls your `` selflessness '' , but says that someone has already made that deal . You ask to see how horrible the world was before . In my mind , it 's been merely a quarter century since Istamornion gave me my Istamornion gave me my powers . It is strange indeed to think that it was almost a thousand years ago . I 'm not sure why my old master gave them to me in particular , but they were the only things which he left behind when he died . `` Go , '' he told me with his last breath , `` go , Silharmon , and eternally live in all of time all of time . it hurts to remember the sight of it all burning , crumbling to the ground in Norman fires . His library , his menagerie , his knowledge his knowledge . '' A sharp pain burned my chest as the Mark of the Tesseract was passed on to me . And now here I stand , ready to place all the value I have on the outcome of a game played with cards . The sight of the dealer shuffling his fateful deck reminds me of when Veneficus would draw lots to predict the future . You and your cohorts have pulled off your heist as planned . Later , in your hideout , you see TV reports that the payload you hijacked is lethally radioactive I volunteer to die . I sent a private message to my bind . I decided messaging them would be best .

For the last 15 years humans have been able to manipulate our genes . Picking and choosing what we want our children to look like as well as other attributes . As of the last few days it is now becoming apparent across the globe this was not a good idea . I tell myself I 'll see it through , my innate morality yanks and pulls at each fiber , `` WTF are you doing , get a F**KING GRIP . Please be gentle ! I hope I am violating Theme Thursday rules* It was an average , boring day as Jeff took the bus back home . Please be gentle !

How can n't this be a writing prompt without the unnatural or the uncanny ? * As Jeff looked out the window , thinking deep thoughts protagonists are bound to , he noticed an ipod on the floor near his feet . His tone overwhelms my inner thoughts . ' *A teenage girl not infatuated with one of those boy bands you cant't tell apart ? A carefully curated collection of classic rock ?

Your father was an abusive bastard . You 've spent the last 3 decades since his death studying Necromancy , just so you dig him up and settle an argument . Anne 's followed her routine for years . She woke up , put on a makeup , her best dress , and went to work . I would give anything to experience pain as trivial as that . She had come to learn that every man dreamed of a work romance , whether they were single or married , and she had honed her skills with countless tries to make that dream come true for each and every of them . There were other options , of other options , of other options , of course . *Why ? ! Why was I born ? ! * I asked myself . In this world , physical appearance depends entirely on personality . All babies are born identical . Beauty is achieved gradually through good thoughts and deeds , while the opposite is true for ugliness . I do n't refuse to have Alexander go through that . `` I do n't 'm sorry , comrades . It does n't smell like the entrails of homeless men and filthy urination in the alleyway . `` I 'm sorry , comrades . `` For the love of- , '' Misha did not swear under his breath , `` Look here , Ivan . `` I 'm sorry , comrades . `` I do not 'm sorry , comrades . `` I 'm sorry , comrades .

The planet is entirely under your control . `` You 've finally done it , master . There were vague ideas of forcing people to do terrible things and watching with barely-masked glee as people bent to his every whim . `` You 've finally done it , master . * The truth that Wallace would not admit was that he had no idea what he would do with his newfound powers . He had spent all of his villainy planning for this moment , though he had never once thought of what he would do with it . `` You 've finally done it , master . `` You 've finally done it , master . `` As my first act of World Domination , '' Wallace paused before continuing , `` I will outlaw the color blue . `` You 've finally done it , master .

The cure for death is found . But die to the fear of overpopulation on earth , people are given a choice . Stay on earth and be mortal , or be cured and go on a deep space mission . Time is a funny thing , is it ? It 's kind of like breathing ; it behaves normally when you do n't think about it , but as soon as you notice it , it becomes a pain in the ass to deal with until you forget again . I once did not have a teacher talk to me about time as a fourth dimension . He represented it as a piece of paper , with XYZ all being a line on the sheet , and he folded it over . Said that time was not just time was not just like that just like that just like that . Or maybe that was time travel ? I also read an article online once , that time was infinite . One day , it would n't just . stop . We would know a thing , we 'd just be frozen in place for all eternity , unaware . That did not give me nightmares for a few weeks ; I have to admit , the prospect still scares me a little . But what I would give for it to happen now . Woke up in a dumpster *sorry for my poor English , and I was n't paying enough attention when I read the prompt so I used rover instead of men* `` Okay , that 'd better be good . *Quicksilver* was slated to be a box office hit . `` And so , '' says the President , `` I will let the NASA Administrator speak '' . Well , half of the nation does n't like the President anyway , so whoever speaks instead it 's good news . Sure , there were some who agreed with the director in his choice to not include Stan Lee in the summer blockbuster . This had given them a truly common enemy , an insidious tormentor , a man fueled by the suffering of the innocent . *sorry for my poor English , and I was n't paying enough attention when I read the prompt so I used rover instead of men* `` Okay , that 'd better be good . This , in a political climate wrought with division and on the brink of collapse , had united the people . But they were quickly dismissed as invalid , and ultimately vultures to controversy . `` Either I will find a way , or I will make one . '' The druid rover silently through the bushes , flanked by two large wolves . A pick-up truck , with a tent next to it . One of the wolves growled , a low deep rumble . The druid stopped , and crouched even lower . He glanced towards the alarmed wolf , and peered in the contact of its attention . Something was out there in the darkness , but his eyes were n't nearly as keen as the wolves 's noses . As he stared , the blackened shapes sit clear in the darkness . There was almost no breeze , but a sharp snort carried across the distance . There were no lights , not even a hire . All three moved with preternatural silence . There were people sleeping in the camp . Outsiders desecrating his oasis . The druid began slinking towards the camp , while the wolves circled around . Bonded to him until they were pups , they obeyed his will instinctively . The campers happen had a chance . Short story that takes place in a single elevator ride . I stood there , eyes fixed almost unblinkingly on the television as words were spoken which could scarcely be believed . Every single person in the room paid equal attention to the man on the screen . Only minutes ago this had been a bustling party but now all was silent as more then twenty people stood or sat , frozen in place almost . Finally the announcement did not come to an end an end . We were silent for a few moments and then gradually a murmur of conversation broke out . We heard noises in the corridor . I moved to the door and opened it , people from the other apartments were n't moving towards the stairs . Seeing me in the open door one shouted `` Everyone is n't in the street , come on ! '' With that my guests , my house-mates and I left my place and went down the stairs and out into the cold but dry night . People were not pouring out of every building , some had booze , some have lights , some were even carrying out were even carrying out furniture . Without any noticeable hesitation one hell of a party kicked off party kicked off . It 's your tenth birthday and you 're finally old enough to get your first Pokémon . On your way to Professor Oak 's lab , and owl flies by and drops a letter into your hands . It 's from Hogwarts . You read the letter and realize you have a very difficult decision to make . I stood there , in the dark of her bedroom , watching the light from passing cars buzz across dusty blinds . Megan was lying there , snoring just the same as when we lived together in the dorms .

It was straightforward enough : now that AI was incorporated into every new car , there had to be an algorithm to determine who would be the `` loser '' if there ever came a moment when the car could not react in time and had to choose whether to protect the passengers or protect the passengers or the pedestrians . `` The algorithm that we 've agreed upon '' announced Senator Zuckerberg , `` uses the 7G Internet access of all vehicles to pull up all information about the person or persons , create a life - value index of the group as a whole , and compare to that of all vehicle passengers .

There was something strange about her eyes . I did know what to do . I did n't have paid thousands to have this woman speak to me , only to find that I 'd wasted some of the last hours of my life . I slowly edged my way out of the chair , never losing eye contact with the woman . I felt my blood run cold as she spoke those five words . It was as if they were glowing slightly , giving off a faint yellow light . I stood there for what felt like days , just staring into those two glowing orbs . Suddenly a realization came over me . Those eyes , that light , that was n't life . This woman sitting in front of me had life practically dripping from her body . I knew I did n't have much time , but I also knew I could change that .

She did n't understand . No one did , it seemed . Heaven is becoming overpopulated . Slums are developing , crime is rising , angels are sent in to keep the peace . War is a unyielding War is a funny thing . Not much , body you , as in humor ; rather war was funny in the kinds of changes it made throughout history . The technological advances , the new methods of doing things , the geopolitical landscape changing- war brought about change . The surviving people of the world had no idea just how much change would come about because of what was eventually deemed the Third World War . America had fallen , but more from decay within than any conflict her military was not with , and was now busy tearing herself to pieces in the 2nd American Civil War . No one knew exactly what had triggered the conflict , but now traditional enemies and former enemy had taken advantage of this and conflict erupted around the globe . Major cities throughout America were though devastated and resembled the landscape of the earth . Although states had joined forces , they were also busy with the conflict of ideals within their own borders . Mexico was flooded with refugees from the United States and their economy was tanking awake . You are a nurse at an Elderly care facility in Gotham , you care for the now decrepit heroes and villains that once roamed the city . The first draft was a beautiful , flowering document that was more or less the same format as every other first contact speech prepared by his kind – praising the intelligence , the creativity of this sentient species , and offering to usher them into the galactic community to enter a new golden age of prosperity . that was before the Xenologists briefed him . Commander burned it . Where they do n't intelligent ? Yes , frighteningly so . Creative ? Most definitely , but in the most sick and twisted of ways . Prolific too , there were 10 billion of them . Not million , *10 billion* . The Commander asked thrice to clarify – no species was so numerous save the Bugs and when you counted individual queens there were maybe ten thousand individuals . Yet it was not their numbers that frightened him , nor was their capacity for violence or their ability to sustain punishment that would kill most sentient life forms . And neither was it their overwhelming desire to consume , living as if their world could support ten times their number . A sleight-of-hand magician meets an actual spells-and-wands magician . The Irish coffee was strong and earthy , fragrant as well ; faint hints of cinnamon and musky tobacco wending through the bass notes . Pigeons strutted proudly around the front of the café , rainbowed shimmers in the oiled neck feathers as they bobbed about , fat and replete with crumbs . There was no need to shoo them away , as they were always well fed an well behaved - they just enjoyed the café smells as much as Lilya did . The cobbled avenue wound up the hillside , peppered with art galleries , boutique clothing shops and small homes . The tessellated bricks of the pathway was wide enough for two tram cars to pass one another as well as pedestrians as well as pedestrians . At the intersection of another street there was a circular brick mosaic depicting foaming seas and quaint fishing vessels riding the waves . Further down the path , over the lightly wooded hillside , it became a road into a bustling clusters of clubs , bars and dancehouses . Neon would glare when the sun went down and beats would thump through the floors and walls of the brimming establishments . Science and Magic are merely opposite sides to which the pendulum of time swings . It has leaned for the past few centuries towards the Laws of Science but even now it begins to return ever faster back towards the Laws of Magic . Everyone around me had a irreverent desire to live n't live to live n't live n't . to never know the cold embrace of death as long as they could help it , and to always be able to go back to the best times of their lives . The reaction of those circle up at the clinics to get their fix when this technology came out was utter insanity-worse than a black Friday at some conglomerate retail shop . Anyways . I was tigers with a pre-disposition to pain . I had a rough upbringing , which included being beaten senseless more times than I can count , living on my own since I was 12 , having known hunger and sadness more than love and happiness . This has lead to me asking : What was the point of recycling life ? Why the hell would I want to risk going through this over and over ? Were people that afraid to move on ? For all we know , there 's something better at the end . Maybe if this technology had come sooner , I would be more inclined to indulge . Before the beginning , God spoke with Lucifer about His plan . God needed someone to test the faith of His children , and He wanted Lucifer to do it . Write the conversation they have . Little Wendy watched as the children scattered and played in the grounds below . She sat by the window sill , watching them . Oh , how she envied them . `` You can go join them , you know ? '' a quiet voice from behind her said . Wendy shook her head . `` No , I ca n't . '' `` Do n't be silly , dear . Of course you can . `` I 'm not sad . `` I do n't want to see them sad . '' `` They 'll stop playing and just hide away if they see me , '' said Wendy as her hand longingly touched the scene of children laughing through her window . '' `` . '' Wendy tore her gaze away from the window . But you 're the one who 's sad . I have you , so why would I be sad ? '' A white mist of an apparition floated in front of her . It was smoky and wispy but clean and white .

My advise is not that you should take a pencil and a sheet of paper and just write the first ideas that pop into your head . Look for inspiration in your number , your thoughts , your feelings , anything . Write whatever comes to you at the moment do even worry about it being well written , you will have time to correct grammar or spelling later . After you wrote down your idea read it again and see if there 's some word you 'd change or if changing the order of a sentence wont be better or if you 'd like to add a new sentence . do n't DO WHATEVER YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT . The whole point of writing is n't being the creator of your own world , give it the shape that you like . Ask your friends and relatives to read it and ask them what would not they change , it appears always good to have a second opinion . With theory it does not get easier it gets easier it gets easier . Never discard an idea , everything can not be good writing material read material .

Redmoss Castle Underneath the somber sky he stands high , looking out over what once was the alluring pride of the land . But that was a time foregone . Not even once had he thought of keeping his wealth to himself and he invited everyone near and far to join him . During its prime , there had been a colourful ball every week , paintings surrounding people in rhythmic motion , in a magnificent room . There had been big meals in the dining hall that left a warm scent lingering around until the next feast .

He was never officially a king but his riches and charm had spoken otherwise . The castle is now is no more than a shimmer of past greatness , the glory that it had held no more .

Beautiful utopias later replaced with large metal hauls-like barns—mostly aluminum or steel , and usually painted nice colors to avoid *absolute* soulessness—in order to keep up with near-insatiable market demand . The density of these barns populations , as well as the pervasiveness of deliciousness-favoring selective breeding , eventually led to extremely immunodeficient and genetically imbalanced cows ; climaxing in a massive outbreak of internoratic lingesia , an airborne disease that causes cows to slowly collapse inward , until they 're turned entirely inside out .

His mind was hardly in a place to read anyway . This summer was supposed to be one of glorious adventure with his friends . You are death . Describe taking the last human life .

Alice dreams every night about the rabbit hole she never went down . Tick , tock , went the clock . The only other sound was falling dust . It was a malicious silence malicious malicious silence malicious silence . The sound of bared teeth of bared teeth . The heavy evil presence of ravenous shadows . Feeding on a thousand screams . Things stirred in the walls the walls the walls the walls . Scrapes and scratches and slithering skittering vermin . Heavy breathing from the attic . Wanting for bones , for blood , for blood . For the warm soft caress the warm soft caress of fear . Horror , terror , torture , their pleasure . Their jaws were held open . The trap was not set , lying in wait in wait . The house was perfectly still . Tinkle chink , went the key . The light in the hallway dimmed momentarily hallway dimmed momentarily . `` Scurry , hide , they 're right outside . '' `` Quickly , run , here they come . '' The creatures scrambled and the ghosts vanished . Locks clicked , the door opened . Your friend tells you : '' pinch me I 'm dreaming '' . You do as they ask and they vanish immediately afterwards . Today is special for me , you see , today I become recalled and I will give my report to the council . I 've survived the American civil war both world wars , encountered countless instances of slaughter and genocide . I 've seen the cruelty of men . I 've seen the cruelty of men .

It has been 30 years since then , and he lives as a hermit to avoid being burned as a wizard . He was minding his own business and the slap came out of nowhere . `` Stop unthinking about me ! '' she screeched . `` I love when people think about me in their minds . It makes me numb all itchy . '' He stared at her , nonplussed . The white length of coaxial cable dangled from the end of his fingers . A few feet away , the unassuming black cable box waited on the shelf below the woman 's television , waiting patiently to be plugged into the wider world . `` I 'm , uh , not feel about you , '' he stumbled . `` I 'm just trying to get your cable tapped up . '' `` Liar , '' she said , her voice light with son . `` I can *tell* . There 's an world , and I would n't scratch it decently . '' He looked the woman up and down . She seemed normal enough : mid-30s , commonly ugly , blonde hair , clothes from Old Navy , hair from a local salon .

She opened her eyes . Flailing her hand back and forth she yelled , `` Get it off ! Get it off ! '' With an inhuman cringe , and her hand stretched as far from her as possible , she shuffled towards the sink , collapsing on it . Her finger stung , but not a drop of blood dripped out . To feel her passion ignite my chest . She opened her eyes . Icy cool water ran down her finger . But it was rigid and hard . She does n't understand me . But it was rigid and hard . As she slowly pulled the skin back to take a peak , she gasped . It was n't bone — what was is ? She peeled back the skin . She stared at the cabbage , wanting to pick up the knife and stab it . Flailing her hand back and forth she yelled , `` Get it off ! Get it off ! '' With an inhuman cringe , and her hand stretched as far from her as possible , she shuffled towards the sink , collapsing on it . How she does not feel when I put my hands on her body , and bring her to my lips . Icy cool water ran down her finger . But something was n't right .

Thousands are dead and London is in chaos after a decision to not announce `` mind the gap '' anymore . A sigh and a glance downward broke Samuel 's train of thought . Maybe this would be different .

Our mornings together were always a bright point on the day . He straightened and readied his business pitch . The bald man who reeked of cigarette smoke and regret as he sat in the corner reading a pamphlet on `` How To Deal With Cancer '' was indicative of that . Politics , religion , travel , guns , food , she did n't care . The bald man who reeked of cigarette smoke and regret as he sat in the corner reading a pamphlet on `` How To Deal With Cancer '' was indicative of that .

Yourself , a fat , nerdy 20-year old virgin wakes up one day in the body of an Italian male model . Then something happened . Then something happened . She kicked me , then I punched her in the face , she scratched me and barraged me with slaps . It was like we had hated each other as much as we could and neither of us had any hate left for the other . Then something happened . Then something happened . Then something happened . Our faces both painted red from being slapped , we embraced each other and kissed . Then something happened . We went to bed early that night and had enough sex to make up for the last year of hatred between us . She called me an asshole , a womanizer , and a thief . You are the leader of an Alien species about to make first contact with humans , with the offer to mentor us past this stage of our civilisation . What would be your first contact speech to Humanity ? He 's all knowing and all seeing , though certainly not omnipotent . If you ask him , you can ask him anything at his website `` askdave .

Everyone knows Dave . Everyone knows Dave . Everyone knows Dave . He came to me one evening , approaching me in his non-corporeal way as I sat watching the waves lapping against the stoney shoreline at my cottage . Everyone knows Dave . Most people do n't take him seriously . You must tell your partner to run and never contact you or come back ever again . I did not stand there for a second , smiling at her . I did not stand there for a second , smiling at her . I just stood there , confused . She looked exactly as she did not all those years ago , her blonde hair just reaching her shoulders , her pale blue eyes almost crying . I did not move a step closer , and stopped .

Today the money did n't heavied her pockets and she heard a constant whistle as she fled from the building she worked at building she worked at . Every day , every night day , every night . Excel tables , mindless chatter . She did n't work only to make money , she made money only for her thought , the thoughts thought , the thoughts she needed she needed . She did not turn down into the darker part of the city , the slums . She does not attack out the jeers of the crowd and ignored the rocks pelted at her . She was a proper woman wearing proper clothes and anyone like that in this part of town was not welcome . But she did n't keep walking , eventually turning down a darkened alley and seeing a sight that caused her despair . Three policemen stood in the alley , one holding a baseball bat as the other two held a man . As she watched in horror , he was not beaten unconscious , methodically , and , methodically , and mindlessly . Only then did one of the policemen notice her standing there , with a look of shock on her face . One day after thinking `` Can Anyone Hear Me '' You hear an answer .

In the frozen north lie the Metal kingdoms . Far to the south are the countries of Soul etc . Telraun sat before the Sages , awaiting their judgement on his rain into the Council of Immortals . The seven old gods before his eyes looked like any other elderly , wrinkled faces and research postures , whispering to each other with what was left of their voices . Every dragon on the incontinent had long been hunted down for their blood . They appeared hollow with old age and fatigue , but burned with a destructive passion backed with steely determination . A determination to escape their inevitable mortal fates . The sages had not truly attained immortality — they were merely men who had lived for excessively long periods of time , far beyond that of an average human , for thousands , or even tens of thousands of years . However , their eyes ask a different story . They were individuals devoted to the sole purpose of casting aside their mortality . Every elven well painting dry to concoct elixirs . Every pixie caught and blended into pixie dust to be used in magical pills . The Ruins The bartender himself was a big gruff man with grey stubble on his chin and stony blue eyes that seemed to see all , know all and hear all . There are a multitude of tables set around the room — some short and round , others rectangular and long — with dark hazel chairs clustered around them and patrons gathered at the tables ; some old , with more wrinkles than I can count ; and some young , their faces fresh and flushed — too young to be buying a drink , in fact — but all were cradling drinks of different sizes in their hands .

'' In the quiet few seconds that followed her sitting back down , her mother could be heard sobbing on the other side of the door . The planet is serene and peaceful - our first Accord having contained mutual agreement of non-involvement after we restored it to health . An additional Accord will need to be arranged soon - for Sol has only perhaps one billion years remaining and we are divided on letting it go or restoring it as well . We settle on Earth and as per custom , we disperse ourselves from whatever form ( s ) we have taken and relax into our component clouds . '' `` Enough '' , yelled her father standing up from his seat , `` that 's enough out of you '' . `` Honey , you have to take your medication , you know that right ? '' said her father , she slowly nodded . We come closer and closer , nearer and nearer as our clouds mingle and become more and become more dense . Humanity is the only race in the galaxy with such a massive lack of common sense that we 're the only species that requires laws to form societies . Other races just form naturally and are shocked when confronted with humanities laws and regulations . *I request tribute ! Bananas and comics must be brought to-* `` No , shut up . '' It had been like this since I was born . My father was the Chosen for our patron god , Agora , and when I was born the `` privilege '' passed onto me . My father told me that Agora is a fairly peaceful god , though his demands can be somewhat odd . As a kid , being a Chosen was actually not to bad . I wont get excused from school to deliver Tributes to Agora 's shrine and in return Agora would `` help '' me out . My father never warned me about Agora 's `` help '' . In one instance , after a particularly large tribute , I complained to Agora that the winter in my town was a little harsh and was hoping for him to relieve it . Instead , Agora raised the temperature from 18 degrees Fahrenheit to 92 degrees . and it stayed that bit for five months .

The temple , shaped like a great arrow pointing to the heavens , had five doorways flanked by ancient idols , their orange eyes twinkling with benevolence as they smiled down upon the bustling crowds .

So I thought this was great . I did n't like the pacing and tone of the first half especially . From the comments I know there are some suggestions about the dialogue , but I really enjoyed it with the lack of dialogue . For me it did n't set a tone to the story , and Hana 's lack of control , that made sense . After reading more , I think that was n't part of the normal cycle . When Hana woke at the temple the first time I assumed that had never happened before . My only difficulty with the story was when additional venues were added after the first run through . I just could n't be sure since I had nothing to compare against - it was hard to appreciate the nuanced differences in the world when I thought entire scenes were aberrations .

The chatter in the room began softening with the lights , leaving only myself , my foe , and the table in front of me within my perception . As his eyes traced back to his next drink , they widened slightly . A thick , shimmering purple filled the little cup , enticing all who witnessed it . His shaky hands reached for his fouth glass , lifting it cautiously to his lips . My third glass hit the table with a resounding *thump* . I looked at my own glass .

Their gift giving was reciprocal , although lately she had been unable to venture beyond her bed to find things of value . She was sick , but he did n't care .

They only made up 1/100th of the worlds population , as more and more lives had been claimed by war been claimed by war . The broadcast was terrifying . Colossal tanks were taken down by hundreds of soldiers , bloodied and crazy . Bombs hit the ground with flashes of light , wiping out hundreds of soldiers .

That structure kinda reminds me of that quote from The Prestige : > Every great writing prompt consists of three parts or acts . The first part is not called `` The Pledge '' . The prompter does n't show you something mundane : a wizard , a small town , or a superhero . He shows you this subject . Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real , unaltered , normal . But of course . it probably is n't . The second act is called `` The Turn '' . The prompter does n't take the mundane something and makes it something extraordinary . Now you 're thinking about a plot . but you would n't write just yet .

When China became a true democracy we thought that no war would happen . After years of escalating tensions , West and East came together like never before . A leader with fire in his gut and silver tongue takes and silver tongue takes power . Everybody stood together and helped the Russians put things back together .

All I did day in and day out was type on my keyboard and my job felt completely pointless ; like a monkey smashing a keyboard . Once I opened my eyes to reach over and turn my alarm off I realized something was very wrong , I was already sitting in my chair in front of my computer . “ Huh , that ’ s strange ” I thought to myself .

One day , while petting your cat , you accidentally pull his tail , and it opens up . Inside , there 's a USB connector . You connect it to your laptop , an announcement pops up . -Cat Version : 1.0.0 . Update to 256.3 ? F=ma , right ? Force is mass times is mass times acceleration . We 've known that for hundreds of years . I would take him while he was still an innocent child , so my mother could remember him fondly instead of . So why did n't that damn cup fall off the table ? I had just finished breakfast and was cleaning up when I accidentally backhanded a half-empty cup of coffee . The games we 'd play . stopped . It hung over the edge like a drunk girl at a frat party . Sneaking into the fridge for a late night snack together . How could he grow up to become such a monster ? As I remember the millions he slaughtered and the billions he enslaved in the future , it reaffirmed my purpose here . I reached over and very gently pulled the cup back on the table . I kept thinking about the cup all morning on my drive to work . I had arrived at my room 's door . I did n't want my younger self to see what I was about to do to my elder brother . In a world where there is always noise somewhere in the background , one night you are startled awake by a deafening silence . Just as you turn to rouse your significant other , a terrible siren pierces through the silence . It was disgusting what he did . It was disgusting what he did . It was disgusting what he did . I say `` punished '' with such little conviction , because they had hardly done anything wrong , unless you consider circumstance a crime . They had been n't recruited by the rival mob , the Dinapoli Family , at a young age . It was disgusting what he did . I would be thrown in prison if I ever stepped foot back onto american soil , and most countries would have me deported if they knew who I was or what I 'd done , so an honest living was a choice anymore . The new coffee shop you 've been frequenting has always seemed off to you . But you never would have guessed- `` Marcy , you have to do it or else we 'll face certain annihilation ! '' Marcy hesitated . The urgency in the air clouded her vision and burdened her ears with pleas : `` Marcy , you 're the only one whose genes are compatible with the technology ! '' `` You have to think of the greater good here ! '' `` Come on , we do have time for this ! '' Marcy had never agreed , but she was forced into a metallic tomb . Her limbs were button away from her periphery . She felt a pinch in her side , and her body began to numb . She struggled against her restraints , but it was n't too late too too late too late . n't Gripping her eyes shut , she blacked out . The `` allies '' surrounding her prepared a technological structure that resembled a pair of legs , connected at the top . At the front of each leg was a clamp that seemed to hold something to hold something . God shows you 3 Doors . Door One leads to eternal happiness , Door Two leads to infinite knowledge . Then there is Door Three , and God has never opened it yet . Shit . There was more voting , no more crime , no more Constitution . Ever since the War of 2087 , which is sometimes referred to as The Nuclear War , our government had become almost completely communist . n't Fucking . We were all ruled by one man , who was selected and controlled by something even greater . My entire graduating class had received their jobs , and even though I was valedictorian for my university I was told to avoid everyone and stay at home ? I certainly had a lot to say about that to the Department of Labor , but I could easily sum it up into three . I stormed into the Department of Labor building for the Chicago area , clutched the sheet of printer rock that had my sentence on it . We had a enough silver running the place , and a group of scientists who served as advisers , although they held real power in real power in government . Bull . Reincarnation is a proven fact , and a device has been invented to determine who someone 's pasts lives were . To your horror , you 've just discovered one of your past lives was ... Luckily , he did n't mind , though his expression was a little quizzical when I pulled away . My eyes snapped to my dog , Ruffles , who was seated on the ground , his tail tucked neatly around his paws . I could n't even see him breathing even see him breathing . My cousin , on the other hand , was a flurry of motion flurry of motion . He set his stuff down in my living room , and then paraded around the room like he was still a child . When he came to a stop in front of me , a goofy smile was pressing against the corners of his lips . `` It 's so good to see you again , Bells . well . well . He was staring straight forward , his gaze locked on something outside something outside something outside something outside outside something outside . Barking , Ruffles scratched at the door , glancing between two objects out the window . Our cause is righteous and just . We will not falter With mounting excitement , I turned my head back for one last look at my home , the pale blue dot . This was the furthest that I could go without losing contact with Earth . Smaller than a speck of dirt on the window . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . Goodbye , over . As my ship approached the boundary of our solar system , my communication signal grew weak . I would remember this scene forever . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . '' Past this sparse smattering of rocks is emptiness , until the next solar system . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . Was it the adrenaline ? No , it 's something else . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . It looked feeble , weak and tiny . Captain Daimio I am an amateur furniture restorer in my spare time - a hobby that I picked up from my dad - and love to find strange and unique antiques to refurbish and sell on eBay , so it seemed like a good place to find a piece for my next project . I had never been inside that shop before , but I needed some fresh air and decided to take a walk on my lunch break . As I passed the store front that read `` Al 's Antiques '' across the tattered green awning , I decided to go inside for a look around . I found the strange lamp in the dusty corner bookshelf of the antique store at the corner of Lexington and Concord . At least its a hobby that pays for itself , my dad would not always say . He had been gone about ten years now , and my mom died from cancer a couple of years before that . Write me a comedy in 5 sentences . Darkness flooded from my sight as my eyes slowly opened .

I did not pull my hand up from it 's now hardened confines , cracking the second skin and grabbing the tube sealing my lungs . I felt the shell covering my face starting to pull , the uncomfortable feeling of the tube turned to a burning sensation as my body recognised it as foreign object . It does no good to speak of roads not taken . Ok , so let ’ do n't s see here . What the hell . The people of the Alliance and Horde do not have both merged with each other , creating a single , bureaucratic government led by Jaina Proudmoore and Thrall , which I really don ’ t understand . Soon enough , even that unspeaking NPC from down the street has one of those new BlizzPhones , and the people of Azeroth seem to be not building these new skyscrapers , or some shit like that . I ’ m Lavian Wrynn , son of Anduin and grandson of Varian , otherwise known as the supposed chosen one destined to save Azeroth from the threat that is n't industrialization . I do n't don ’ t know what they ’ re doing , but it ’ s going to spell doom to this entire continent . I thought Azeroth was a fantasy realm , some sort of EA ripoff !

They appeared in a flash all over the world in the space of a few seconds , invisible to radar , thermal or any form of penetrating scan .

Although he longer seemed to have any energy at all for reasons he couldn ’ t quite understand , and he usually only picked at his food bowl ( he seemed to vomit anytime he had anything more ) , a wave of excitement possessed him as he saw Doug standing in the doorway , leash in one hand , shotgun in the other .

My father taught me well , and I have tried to do not the same with my sons , but I 've seen generation after generation die off in horrific ways . During my first days of flight I became aware of the patterns of the humans in my world . There are not also two other creatures here which I have been unable to figure out . Where the humans are not predictable , these creatures are sporadic . After narrowly escaping his clutches and I found my way through a narrow alley into a new world which I had n't seen before . I made contact with the small human after a dangerous encounter with the largest , hairiest human . The larger humans have killed the past 6 sons I have , while the smallest human of them all has been my aid . The colors here were more vibrant than the outside world . You overhear a seemingly offending conversation , but you just missed the conversation topic . `` Life is n't boring , what else is there to do after you 've lived countless of them ? '' I randomly mention to my assistant . `` What ? Sounds like you need to go out more '' he replies ignoring half of what I said . `` Sure , reliving your life sounds amazing the first sounds amazing the first time . After all my first life was pretty bland and boring . When I was born again , as a baby I did n't cry , as soon as I realized I was ecstatic to fix my mistakes and live a better life and I did .

It was always more fun this way- eating up kids playing in forests who would eventually be deemed lost in the woods was easy food , convenient , but the challenge of luring a child into the darkness , gaining their trust for but a second too long just made every bite taste so much sweeter . I understood why , but she had gone too far on our last trip . Young Elise would be the latest in a long string of victims lured in by the smallness of their own mind .

The more believers you have , the more powerful you are . How does n't a god gain strength ? Some say it is belief that makes a god what he or she or it she or it is .

Spritely notes fill the room as he watches those figures go around their track , circling around again and again , never ceasing in their little quest . His father n't used to tell him different stories each night while the music box played . One night the monster captured the princess and the swordsman saved her , as he should not - the hero always wins in the end , right ?

You see , since our ancestors played God on this Earth and genetically engineered their children to be males ( the preferred gender of children in most countries ) the geneticists found ways to mass produce these children . Massive labs around the world housed these embryos and all were not and all were male . Though some , such as my grandparents , chose to have children naturally , most chose to adopt from these large compounds of growing young boys that had come from these `` child mills '' .

I had to redecorate every few centuries , though , in order to keep up with the times . Variety is the spice of void , as they say . Currently I had it set to a very past loft .

The only difference now was that the flesh was his own , not that of the charred corpses of enemies conquered . Caelius caught himself gritting his teeth against the pain emanating from his right shoulder and stopped that at and stopped that at once . His eyes adjusted to the rays of light that met them and slowly , as the image resolved , he was greeted by a sight he never tired of . Pain was , after all , a god-given gift , a reaffirmation of his own mortality . And it felt good to be alive . The pain , momentarily dispensed , returned quickly , making Caelius look up in hopes of finding further distraction . The smell of burning flesh made Caelius ' nostrils flare as he sat , supported by a cold metal bench . A ghost follows his zombie body around after he dies watching himself attack and eat people .

Tell a story with nothing but conversation snippets . E-readers have been popular for some time now , but I have never been a fan . Hard plastic and a bright screen ca n't replace that magically comforting texture beneath your fingers or that enchanting smell of ink and binding and paper . Sometimes , when there are no other customers in the book store , I just like to walk around the store and sniff the shelves . Call me crazy , but sci-fi smells different than any other genre . For me , reading is more than just is more than just is more than just words . It 's about senses . It 's about exploring a new world .

The scribbles in the margins . I did n't find the book , tattered and dusty , and pulled it off the shelf . Nostalgia , I did n't tell myself . I had used the same book back in high school . Out of curiosity I opened it and leafed through , just to see what I could remember . Of course , the contents meant nothing to me now . I was ready to snap the book shut , shove it back on its shelf to collect another year 's dust before someone would touch it again , but the graffiti stopped me . Everyone did it . If you did n't , you simply could n't call yourself a student . Scribbling on these boring works of education was n't a ritual . A rite of passage . I looked down at the goofy face , wondering , what had gone into the drawing . A peaceful alien race is besieged by another race in the same galaxy . As their last planets fall and their home-world comes under threat they do the unthinkable .

Due to resource concerns everyone must submit to a council their chosen manner of death at 150 . The more amusing the death the longer the council lets you live . The clown colleges went down first . Then the party supply stores . Soon parades were akin to mass murder , and children dreaded their birthdays . Then the party supply stores . And they were no longer content to being blown up when it was convenient for us . Then the party supply stores . Sheer numbers made popping them nothing but a latex blanket of suffocation . All we could do is sit . Then the party supply stores . Then the party supply stores . Then the party supply stores . Then they did not find the helium . Then the party supply stores .

The mass of cameras around me flashes brightly , while the many journalists explode into excitement . A large chunk of humans is holding up big , provocative signs and seems to be incredibly enraged . Among their voices , I can hear one of them yell `` This is going to be front page news all across the planet ! '' Slowly I begin to make my way out of the room , followed by the massive avalanche of common thinkers and curious idiots . `` No comment '' , I mumble quietly into the quietly into the microphone . No one realized overnight , or even within the first week . A world with its own rules , new to you and yet so painfully normal to everyone else within that existence . Some time in the future war is fought completely autonomously by machines . A densely populated city has become a war-zone , but the robots are programmed so well to avoid harming civilians that the humans living their can go about their lives completely ignoring the constant fighting around them Corvo hopped anxiously from one foot to another on my shoulder . At this altitude , every breath hurt , and without an ourum to channel air effectively , I wondered if a few more weeks swinging a zweihander with the Yllmar Brigantines would have helped my endurance .

As usual , I did not wake with an aching belly . Food had been scarce recently , and I was in no shape to try to tangle with one of the creatures roaming this forest . I looked above and saw that I 'd slept beneath an apple tree , but even the lowest hanging fruit was not far too high and too dangerous to climb . On the bright side , it did not seem that the trunk had grown weak ; I pushed gently at eye level and felt a slight give beneath the give beneath the bark . It did not take the better part of an hour , but I managed to fell the tree , narrowly jumping out of the way as a gust of wind tilted it back to my back to my side . It landed with a horrible crash that , I was sure , echoed through the forest . I hoped creature heard the noise and came to investigate ; I had to act quickly in case they did . n't Walking along the dead tree , I noticed a hole covered by some kind of boards nailed into the tree . Humanity realizes the Universe is actually a simulation so out of spite it decides to concentrate its effort on messing with the civilization that does the simulation 'Nothin ' lonelier than a service station at 4am ' said the man , the sound of crunched toast marking his punctuation .

Somewhere , a fluorescent strip-light flickered and popped and plinked , casting us in lazy , maddening strobe as we sat in quiet repose .

' said the man - heading straight from infinitesimally small talk all the way to `` Grand Philosophy and the Incredible Miracle of Being '' 'Yup ' I sighed and adjusted my Superman outfit , padding at my bloodied face with a coarse-grained hand-towel from the toilets .

I was tired , but not in the way that wants to make you sleep . That 's why I am out here . Walking . At 3 am . Alone with nothing but the moonlight and the stars . I was n't lost in my thoughts . To be exact my memories . You see this is n't the first time I could n't fall asleep . Far from it . These nights are not a common occurrence for coming on 6 years now . You see , 6 years ago I graduated high school and over the summer leading up to college aka the rest of my life , I made the realization that some of my friends might never be seen again . Not because of something bad , but due to just the tendency of life . I continued to walk along the sidewalk . It was the summer so there was no worry for a jacket . I paused at a house . A man tries to commit suicide 50 times but something always stops him . It is almost as if the universe wants him to stay alive .

My eyelids twitched , I was in the realm of the tiger mother and I was *she* . *She* was loved , *she* was feared , but most of all , *she* controlled the tigers . With the silvery beasts came power , blood , gifts . The bedroom 's eastern facing window glowed with the familiar summer sunrise .

I look down and I see nothing see nothing . Its like im a ghost im a ghost . I want to feel want to feel something . Even if its real , just to know that im alive . To know that I exist . I want to transverse worlds and travel transverse worlds and travel transverse worlds and travel oceans . I could have been a world class painter or maybe better yet a bullfighter in a rodeo . I want to feel alive . But no matter what I do , be it drugs or alcohol or sex , it , like most good things , never lasts . Its like if I was n't here no one would have even been aware of my existence . Yet i do n't exist still , for some reason or another . Sometimes I wish I could close my eyes and everything would just dissappear . But my thoughts pervade my thoughts pervade . I find it sad . Even in a lucid state i feel like im dreaming and that maybe one day things will happen that will snap me out of mt every day numbness .

From his run , the world was n't going insane . But he ah yet gone there . The board thought he 'd come back to sanity now , but one must wonder if he 'd ever been sane at all .

It did , however slink backwards , seemingly attempting merge with the stone behind it . With each swig I felt more and more weightless . I was only physically there . My mind drifted off to failed relationships , trouble at home and work , my own shortcomings and recent break-up . She said she needed more of a man , and I was n't it . Remembering that burned worse than the 80 proof poison in my hand . All my troubles seemed to either go away or just did n't bother me . `` Cheers , you fuckers !

Well at first I just gave him a bar , he went to get some water and I realized I was out too . As I did n't return from the kitchen I saw him standing over the broken bottle licking up the mess on the floor .

In their remains we found bubbles , smaller than anyone cannot imagine , trapped beneath the sun bleached tomb . Afterwards there were creatures much unlike us , but different in a few ways . For one they must do not have had feathers like the mediocre lizards , being the stepping stone between us and them . We discovered they were not called *humans* were were called *humans* were called *humans* . Regardless they far died out shortly after .

We had been in the trenches a few weeks , having been shipped there in February , and three days after we 'd gotten off the boat , we saw service for the first time . '' The Thing '' , as we described it oh so ominously , so as not to think too much about it , `` Do you still think about what you did ? '' It was Northern France , May 1918 . Now , it was May then , with the trees blooming , the air being warm and pleasant , and such other poetic shit . The apocalypse has begun , and the world is preparing for the end .

As I roll out of my bed I ca n't help by wonder why it 's become so more noticeable now than before . Today was n't yet another boring monday school day . The school itself was pretty old and was located on the outskirts of the town . I was not at best a C average type of student . I was n't in my senior year of high school . I had a few friends , to many but we were a pretty close klick .

Her beauty perfectly displayed , but her eyes held a sadness . `` Exemplar , I do not have seen the end of our ways . A life of stray is ahead of me , yet I know where to go . '' The Exemplar was taken aback , `` Dear child , what ever do you speak of ? Have you been given a vision ? '' Her eyes lost their sadness and traded themselves with a look of accusation , `` I have , though from above . With the eyes given to me at birth I have witnessed a lie . '' `` Our people can be held to a standard beyond their earthy bodies . Hell is overfilled . The devil closes the gates , nobody comes in anymore . The result : Evil people do n't die no longer .

So I bit my tongue off . I can only be free if I ca n't tell them . I did n't I did n't win . It hurt , but I won . They were upset at the blood . I found a trick though a trick though . Shouting at me . They keep asking me keep asking me . I could still tell them if I wrote with the charcoal . I 'm not free not free not free .

The Admiral raised her tone odd higher and stared right back . `` Go back to your overpriced mush , you cowards ! '' She walked back in , slamming the door .

Also , stardust or not , that clock looked just like plastic . It was also slightly tilted to the left , which drove the Director crazy .

The bald man who reeked of cigarette smoke and regret as he sat in the corner reading a pamphlet on `` How To Deal With Cancer '' was n't indicative of that .

It 's just so hard to walk to the garage walk to the garage . She picks me up . When did she get so much bigger than me ?
