[WP] An advanced Society that harvests distant sun's is contemplating whether it's ethical to take ours. Suddenly you are teleported to a stage, where its explained that you are chosen to make the case for humanity on earth, and everyone is watching. "Take it" You say, fresh off a long double shift
The force field around the podium prevented me from falling to my knees. The marks on my face from a full 24 hours in PPE twisted as I wept. Whatever was translating my words and expressions was the only sound, mostly a vibration I could feel through my shoes. After a silence, the translator buzz shifted to my hear...
I slumped back in my chair and pushed myself as far from my desk as my cubicle would allow.

[WP] While checking out an abandoned island with your new friends, you decide to look at the local pictures online. The only one nearby is a photo of you and your friends posted a month ago, before any of you even met.
“Guys….” James gestures frantically towards his friends. “…come look at this.” Phoebe and Michael run over, but to your surprise they do not act shocked, but instead are overtaken by a solemn look. “James, you weren’t supposed to find out like this. We wanted to ease you into it, but it’s time you knew the truth....
People always talked about the good old days of the '70s and '80s at Boblo Island in Detroit. It was an amusement park from 1898 to 1993, but it has since become abandoned and ruined.

[WP] As a necromancer, you are in the business of reanimating the dead for a few days at a time. Families say goodbye, businesses get cooperate secrets, scientists test their drugs, etc. The more they pay, the better they are restored and the longer they stay, as it does take a lot out of you.
“You’re the wizard?” I don’t correct clients, as a rule, so I nodded. “Yes sir.” “And this isn’t a scam?” he asked. He was looking at me, but the question was directed at his entourage. They took care of reassuring him; all I had to do was stand there and look ominous. I knew the type: he was drowning in grief, and d...

They call me an anomalous abomination. A god with no followers. No enemies. Neither worship nor domain. How could I exist, most of the other gods would ask. Even the ones who share the same pantheon as I do. My existence bewildered them, almost as much as it once confused me too. But I grew used to it eventually. This...

I was a good man who made the world a safer place. Throughout my entire career, I never killed anyone, even if some of that filth couldn't possibly be referred to as human. I merely saw that monsters were brought to justice and received what they deserved. It felt oh so good, and somehow I was seen as a villain. On...

Sir Flowerpot, the black void of a cat started hissing after a loud bang and a crash. Nathaniel furrowed his brows and walked out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly baked buns. His front door was now almost a door of his hallway that led to the back of the house. "Comer here, Flower" Nathaniel called to his pet as...
Two men stood before me, one tall gentleman with an immaculate moustache and a shorter one, evidently moustache deficient. “Are you..” The Tall One started, looking down at a piece of paper he had in his hands. “Jiminy Cricket?” “That’s me.” I responded reluctantly. “Can I help you?” The short one piped up “Alright, s...

[WP] Casting curses and being feared is a witch's pride and joy. So, why is it there are so many people lining up outside her house to be "cursed" by her? Why is the king offering her gold and jewels for her curse? What is going on???
“Please, come inside. What a lovely couple you are, a handsome husband and a beautiful wife. Why I’m green with envy.“ Opria grinned, inviting the couple into her home, watching them wince as they passed her bubbling cauldron and skeletal minions. When they made it to her guest room, she pulled a chair out for them bot...
Eventually her popularity got to her; she's a dark elf, dark elves are known to be amazing at alchemy. Her curses seem to've actually had people become more self-conscious and humble over the years, but only lately has it gotten to a point where the current young king is actively and unintentionally trying to court he...

[WP] A girl shows up in your house claiming to be your daughter and telling you that she’s glad your both okay with tears in her eyes. When you tell her that you and your partner don’t have any children, her face goes pale
"We're supernatural crime-solving partners, not that sort of romantic partners! I am a human looking to date other humans, not this eldritch god here!" The woman protested, jabbing her finger at the tentacled entity standing next to her. "I don't even have a date right now, much less a daughter!" Maybe she had a point...
I didn't have any children. Neither did my spouse. So, when this young imp of a thing, barely 25 years old, appeared on our door step and threw her arms around me I recoiled in bewilderment and confusion. "I'm glad you're okay, Dad!", she sobs and I can't help but tear up as well. Why do I feel this way?! I never wan...

Orion was all of fifteen when he first discovered his superpowers. Which *sounded* cool, sure, but... his hometown was boring.

"Goodnight sweetie." I said as my daughter rested, her eyes glimmering the room. "Dad, can you check my closet for any monsters?" I smiled, kids being naive. I walked towards the closet and slowly opened the closet door. As I open my eyes, I see my daughter... In the closet. "Dad... Look behind you, it's not me." I ...

"So, what are we doing here? Really?" Zeus asked the group around the table. "I believe we were about to say who gives a damn and drink!" Thor thundered from beside his father. "Hear, hear!"

Why do they call it Stockholm syndrome? If I had my phone on me I’d look that up. I can’t at the moment, I’m a little…tied up. Oh, yeah, you can’t actually see me.

For a moment, the room is deathly silent, save for the dull *thunk* and clatter as the king's head and crown tumble to the ground, and a low sizzling of the stump cauterized by the Knight's enchanted longsword of flame.

Until his spells picked up a little punch, however, L...
It comes from poop? - Said the young girl, while wrinkling her nose. That's right my young ma'am.

To say it was wild was to put it mildly. It had been like the world clicked and people just... changed. If it was someone you knew, you still knew them even though their whole self was entirely different. They didn't look like how you remembered them a lot of the time, but you knew.

You may have heard many idioms related to rats, most of them demeaning to my kind. We have always been the butt of every joke, the test subject of most human experiments, so much so that even the term is called 'lab rat". But one thing humans always forget, we have families too. And like humans, we also hold grudges....
The Rat had hidden underground for several years, building something big. A large mech built like a human built to kill the hero who ruined his life.

[WP] You're an entirely normal human being. You have memories of a childhood and an adult life. You're not a robot. You're not a robot. You're not a robot. You know beyond all doubt you're not a robot. Why have captchas suddenly become completely impossible?
I stared at my screen in stunned silence. The captcha looked back at me, unsolved in petty spite I was likely imagining. I tried again. The screen taunted me with yet another "try again". Captchas were supposed to block out robots, AI, whatever that isn't human. Which shouldn't include me. I have vivid memories of my...
I found the perfect hoodie online. I clicked "Buy It Now." I then clicked "Continue as guest." A CAPTCHA popped up. "Click every image with a motorcycle." There were squares with whole motorcycles, but one had a back tire. Does that count? I clicked it along with others. I clicked "Done." "VERIFICATION HAS FAILED." I g...

[WP] You squealed as the heroes unmasked and kissed in front of the roaring crowds. Wait…you recognize their faces…that’s YOUR best friend and YOUR girlfriend/boyfriend.
Hurt, betrayal and a mighty thirst were the only things I was feeling as I watched my wife Julia and my best friend Craig kiss each other on live TV. It wasn't a quick peck on the lips either. The thing is Craig is gay, Julia and I went to his damn wedding so why the fuck was he kissing my wife‽ Julia and I hit it of...
I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my girlfriend of fifteen years and a man whom I considered a brother kissing like lovers for the world to see.

[WP] A Superhero who doesn't wear a mask is the scariest. If you can see their face or know their identity, it probably means someone has already got to their loved ones and taken them from the hero. What do they have left to lose at that point?
Of course, when I started out, I wasn’t really trying to be a hero. Stop a mugging here, prevent a chase there, the usual good deeds. Then I started upping the stakes. Bust down a drug ring. Stop a hijacking. No one wanted to believe that a superhero could actually exist, that a god could simply be living among them. T...

It was a story every woman knew. That horrid moment of helplessness, of wanting nothing more to be safe and relying on the help of strangers. I glanced up from my book and nodded, "of course." I smiled at her, warm and bright. And gestured towards the space beside me, "have a seat" She looked skittish, the idea that s...

Wiping away the sweat from his brow, Suthili carefully placed his one foot in front of the other, taking the last steps on the endless staircase into the open space.

When you've been a few feet away from the eternal void, you'd do anything to escape the well of inky blackness that threatens to make you as insignificant as the things that never happened, the things that were nothing more than wishes in the back of imaginative minds. That's where I went for what felt like a lifetime,...

[WP] "And so I was cursed with immortality. Cursed to walk the earth for eternity, never aging past twenty five and never dying." "How old are you, then?" "...Seventy. It was quite recent actually."
"Seventy?" "Yeah." "For real?" "Yeah." "Not thousands of years?" "No, like I told you it has been fourty-five years, I'm seventy." "You said that. I thought vampires lived for thousands of years." "Well yes, hypothetically they can, apparently, but I am only seventy." "Fine." 'What do you mean fine?" "It's f...
“You don’t look a day over twenty, darling. What have you been giving her, Marc?” The man seated next to her asks the bartender. She cannot recall his name. “Only the usual whiskey. She’s been rambling about how tiring it is to be seventy since she walked in here, Ron.” Replies the bartender, as he skillfully pours he...

[WP] There is a dungeon deemed "coughing baby easy", used by everyone to train rookies, test spells, and as a hangout spot for ordinary children. A roaming frenzied super monster from the MOST dangerous region just took one look at it, froze, became scarily aware of where it was, then fled.
After the apocalyptic chaos that followed the return of primordial magic, the Earth was thrown into chaos, realitirs themselves began to overlap, with structures from the middle of cities being ripped out of their space and appearing in the middle of nowhere, with the area from where they appeared replacing their previ...

[WP] You are an aspiring scientist who's put years of work into inventing time travel. You're on the verge of a major breakthrough in your studies, when suddenly you're visited by your future self, who tells you to stop IMMEDIATELY.
"I am getting tired of these interruptions." I said as I leveled the shotgun at the flash of light. The older looking version of me looked at the gun and said " the Washington monument is black."

[WP] Your fairy godmother is very strange. She dresses in black and red, never takes off her mask, and uses scary magic. However, she genuinely does love you and teaches you what she knows.
"Good morning, Godmother!" the boy cheered as he entered the living room. "What have you got there?" "𝚃𝙷𝙴-𝙷𝙴𝙰𝚁𝚃-𝙾𝙵-𝙰-𝙳𝙴𝙴𝚁," Godmother clicked back. Much like her movement, each word was said in a burst of speed sometimes hard to understand, but undeniably efficient. "Oh, neat!" the boy said excitedly. ...
It all started when I was barely a little girl, just on the edge of my memory. I'd never known my parents but, back in the beginning, I could remember her. Or at least a single image of her, like a still painting made by a master artist to remind me of my past. The maroon woman with a white mask leaned down in front...

“I have summoned you, Kothox!!! I wish for a chance at love!!!” “Very Well. But you shall prepare a sacrifice of something you hold dear, or a virgin girl.” “I have a virgin here. I have prepared her on the altar.” “Very well. May I see her?” “Yes! Yes, you may master!!!” As he uncovers the cloth covering her… “*...
(Now, they are really testing my patience...) Demon thought at first, this was filled with anger but, in teenager's eyes it saw the same anger but, mixed into obvious horror. Demon thought for a moment and wicked smile carved on this face soon. Demon finally killed the young lady and dragged her into shadows seemingly ...

[WP] You're on a hike and find a sign, it reads: "WARNING DO NOT LOOK AWAY. There is a danger here, the danger is based on sight. The danger cannot see you if you cannot see it. Help will arrive every half-hour. DO NOT LOOK AWAY." The sign has a built-in clock, it's 3:15pm.
Wiping away the sweat from his brow, Suthili carefully placed his one foot in front of the other, taking the last steps on the endless staircase into the open space. Next to him, he heard his grandfather do the same. The fact that he had been able to make the journey at his age made Suthili’s respect for him even more ...
As I stood there reading the sign, I had a particularly strange feeling. I knew these woods through and through, since our family cabin was just about half an hour of walking away from this place. The sign looked just like the other ones that ranger Willy puts up updating the hikers about bears and other wildlife. Howe...

[WP] Heaven is separated based on cause of death. All of those who suffered heart attacks are together, all hippopotamus attacks together, drowning, etc. You die and appear in a nearly empty room. An old-looking man looks up at you, and says, "Finally, someone else! It's been ages!"
There’s a pounding in my ear, a beating in my chest, and the overwhelming urge to give into the all-encompassing darkness surrounding me. I try to think back to this morning. *Did I forget something? Had I already visited my mother? Did I remember to buy tomatoes for Sara?* But I find myself at a blank. I can’t remem...
“Where am I?” I said out loud to no one in particular, just trying to get my bearings. I remember…everything fading to black, but surely I would snap out of it.

[WP] A witch’s curse has made it so everyone will turn into their costumes every Halloween Night. Unfortunately for the witch, the townsfolk got used to it and are now milking this golden opportunity.
The old crone leaned in close to her crystal ball as she spied on the townfolk. All Hallow's Eve was tonight, and it would be the second year her curse was in effect. The townsfolk had only young Florence Foster, the town mayor's daughter, to thank for this. As they'd passed by her cottage on the morning of the Hallowe...

They chased me out of town with rocks and clubs once they discovered my affliction. They screamed and threatened, they shouted curses and promised a painful death for me if I were to ever return. That’s all I can think of when I look at the envoy from Andale. “Why are you here.” My voice crackled like kicked up grave...
The Grove had not always been so. I still remembered the salt and bitter bile that built it. The lashes on my skin, and jeers of those I loved turning their sneering, snarling looks of contempt upon me. "Go and never return!" They chanted, and closed the gates behind. I had wandered, broken, bitter as the bunya leav...

I hadn’t heard from Carl in years. He was my best friend in university, and all the best stories from that time involved him.

My shrine is small, but it is big enough for the both of us. Me and my one follower Jenny.

It's been nine hundred years since I died and I'm still waiting for it all to end. I was a bit peeved when I found out the rules. There was no God. No heaven or hell. No real afterlife.
