[WP] Aliens are afraid to invade Earth. Not because of humans but because our solar system is a nest for 8 Guardians/Leviathans.
It had been tried before, always ending in failure. The world, small and blue, stood out as a conspicuous failure to convert the last holdout of sentient life in the galaxy. Missionary invasions had worked everywhere else. In all other cases, soldiers of the church brought the staff and the beam, the truth and the ...

[WP] Write a letter to someone you miss It's been a rough week. Everyone has someone they wish were still with them. Write to them and tell them how you feel. Pour your heart out. No judging. Even if they never see it, someone will. And thank you. It's tough to be alone.
Alex, It has been 99 days since you left. 99 days. Some days are easier than the rest. There are days when I genuinely smile as I remember you. You left me with so many good memories; and I thank you for each and every one. I miss you. Every. Single. Day. You said we'd be together for the rest of our lives - we just ...
Michael, We were both graduating. I understand, and it was easier for us to just go our own separate ways. I wanted to say something, but rejection hurts more than leaving questions unasked. It wouldn't have worked anyway. I loved how you call me Katherine instead of Katie. Everyone else called me Katie, even though...

Rank was never that important to me. The others fought. Endlessly. For some reason, their numbers were more important to them than their humanity. I started with the lowest rank, and I've never moved up. I've never killed a soul. But I'm #1 now, because the others are all dead. I'm lonely.
*Number 1 -- ranked number 1 for 20 consecutive years today, and nobody has even come close to usurping me. Do you know why?

One knows when they're in the presence of something ancient. A turn of phrase, the way their gaze meets yours, the way the air around them hangs, as though to communicate an unspoken form of reverence. Or fear. Simple folk like to trade their wives tales, attempts at justifying the things that exist just outside their ...

It wasn't so much a power as it was a curse. Tell me how you would feel to die a million deaths. To wake up the day before the dominoes fell, the machination of reality that would end your life took place, and then some small nuance in the fabric of reality is altered to spare your life for a few more days, years, an e...

There were once a tortoise and a hare. The hare was haughty and fast, and the turtle was slow and wise. One day the hare approached the tortoise. He had bags under his eyes.

It was actually quite a simple one. Any one of these people could defeat me. They just didn’t know it. Erik had been after my title for years.

Pacing back and forth in front of me, David paused, one foot half-hovering over the blood-stained carpet. "Tell me, Kat, what happened?" The body was sprawled out before us on the black tile floor of the penthouse. Streams of slimy, congealed blood wove intricate rivers in the cracks between the slate pieces, and tiny...

Hi, I'm going to tell my little story here rather quickly as I am rushed for time. Being #1 makes a lot of folks very interested in killing me, so I have to constantly remain on edge. If there were no ranking systems, most people would assume that I have absolutely no powers. My power is a much more subtle one. But en...

[WP] Write about a famous historical event as if it was played out as a DnD session
"Your army is marching upon grenoble. You face a royalist regiment of two thousand men blocking your path. What do you do?" "I bear open my breast...", Napoleon started "Jesus Christ, dude", the DM said "...and proclaim, 'If any man here wishes to shoot his emperor, I am here'". The DM sighed and rolled some dice...
Mary looked at the table horrified. Another 1. That’s, what, 6 of them now? She felt desperate, it was all slipping away. “You sure I can’t add my modifier?” she pleaded. “We’ve been over this Mary, critical failures are critical failures,” replied Jim looking at her with pity. “All my planning... all that time...”...

[WP] Fallen angel is a pretty popular trope in fiction. But I want to hear about Ascended Demons. Demons that were too good/ kind/ pious for the underworld and managed to break out.
"Parry," Forcas said as Sara stumbles upon another swing. "Shit!" the succubus Sara shouted as she stumbles and completely collapses. Sara's goat-like legs folding beneath her as she lets out a slew of curses befitting any Bostonian. Forcas's eyes shifted from the fallen girl up to Asmodai, the Lord of Wrath, who st...
And there it was, hanging just above my head, through the smallest of cracks in the rock, sunlight. I let myself bask in it for a second. Breathing it in and allowing it to wash over me as if I was floating in clear water. That thin cut of light that aligns with the perfect cut of rock so I might see it shine. Only on...

[WP] All of the "#1 Dad" mugs in the world change to show the actual ranking of Dads suddenly.
Joe Mills had a #1 Dad mug, but he wasn't sure he'd ever get the chance to actually be a dad. His wife, Lucy, had had a miscarriage a month after she bought him the mug to celebrate the long-awaited positive pregnancy test. Months after the miscarriage occurred, Joe was sorting through their guest room closet, which h...
"... And to my son James, I bequeathe my most prized possessions, the tokens of the good life I lead and the sacrifices I made," the lawyer solemnly read from Dave Culkin's last will and testament. "Yeah yeah, I'm sure the lazy git has tons of things to give... I mean, you could probably read from his mug how bad of ...

[WP] When the oil runs out a new Age of Sail emerges for transporting goods overseas, along with this comes a new Age of Piracy... Avast ye scruvy dogs!
*I got up on the stage and clicked the powerpoint presentation.* Men, I present to you the new hydrogen fuel cell electric marine engine. Now i know what you're saying, it didn't work for cars, how come we're applying it to cargo ships? Simple, because cargo ships are much bigger and have different mechanical load iss...
Not quite as actiony as it could be, but I hope you enjoy anyway! --- "Cap?" "Yea, Smiff?" "Blip." "Thanks." Captain Gerald walked over to the wall of moniters and buttons, where Smiff, his comunications officer, had beckoned him from. The man pointed at a moniter, and as claimed, a small red dot could be seen sl...

[WP] Germany is actually predestined to lose every world war it participates in. The sixteenth world war is now being fought, and Germany has taken over all of Europe. Make them lose the war in the most ridiculous way possible.
"Wait so if this is the only the third World War why was it called the Sixteenth World War?" "Well Timmy, that's because a company called Microsoft, notorious for being terrible at naming things, had won a government contract to name the war, and it stuck. We're lucky they didn't rename World War One World War 360!"...
The year is 2198. The entire world has seen 15 world wars. All of which Germany has participated... and... err... lost. Y-yeah... they lost 15 times. This the 16th war, and everyone expects Germany to lose. People aren't taking Germany seriously anymore. Many keep joking about Germany. But it looks like things will cha...

[WP] write a short horror story that seems completely normal and non scary until the very last sentence at which point it becomes absolutely terrifying.
It was a Saturday. After a long week at work, Todd decided to sleep in. He got up half past ten, took a quick shower, then headed to the nearest Denny's for breakfast. Todd ordered his usual... a Grand Slam. With a smile, the waiter left after taking his order. Looking out the window, Todd regretted getting up so...
It started when Sara drew pictures of him. With her crayons she scribbled what ever her mind could comprehend from his visits. Vivid purples, reds, and blacks covered the paper she was given daily. A small head was customary, accoumpanied by large shoulders. Large hands often times pointing or splayed out far. The smil...

[WP] Write the letter that you always wanted to, but never did. Most of the writing prompts I see on here are for fictional stories, but this is only one small corner of the larger art of writing. In this prompt, I'd like you to consider writing something a little more personal, and in a form that you might not have o...
Dear me, Grow a pair of balls and ask that bitch out. Dumbass. So what if she says no? Are you gonna cry? Hell, no. You'll be sad but you'll move on. You'll be more happy if she says yes than sad if she says no. What a pussy.
Dear You, I don't know if you're there. If you exist anywhere in this world. Maybe you'll always be a concept in my mind of the kind of person I need to meet and say all of this to. If you're not there, then that's depressing. But if, somewhere, you exist... I haven't been strong. I've been plagued with weakness in a...

[WP] Scientists invented a pill that enables dogs to fully speak and understand English. It lasts for ten minutes, and will only work one time. You give a pill to your 12 year-old Border Collie, whom you've had since they were a pup. Your dog immediately says "Alright, listen very carefully..."
I sat back in the leather the chair while my dog stared back silently at me. She was smart, too smart. In the past 15 years she'd learned much and instantly knew that what I had given her was more then peanut butter on a spoon. The room became uncomfortably quiet. The ceiling fan cast shadows against the tan wall whil...
I knew I really couldn't afford the Intelect pill AND pay my rent that month, but the commercials made it seem so special and interesting. People hugging their pets, giggling at their smart wit, deepening that bond between them... It sounded to good to be true. Sadly, one pill was $500, so not everyone got to try. I ha...

[WP] JFK shot first.
JFK is at the parade, suddenly, his president sense ™ tingles. He takes out his modified M1 garand with reflex sight, fast mag and steady aim, his back up gun since it isn’t that big of a deal. He shoots the killer in the chest from 10 meters, getting only a hitmarker. The killer flees and stands behind a wall to he...
He knelt behind his scope, letting the cigarette smoke curl around his face. From his vantage, he saw the motorcade approaching before the segment of crowds beneath his tower. They began to cheer. *Foolish sheep.* He grunted to himself, blowing out a plume of smoke. Then in a habit as deeply ingrained as breathi...

[WP]"This is how it works," Death explained. "You pick the game and we play. Cheating is allowed, but if either one of us is caught by the other, they lose. If you win, you'll wake up back in the hospital and I'll give you another 10 years. If you lose then it's time for judgement. Understood?
"I know of a game," said the man, finally speaking up after a long pause. Death's glare shifted, as if his bony face cocked an eyebrow. The man crossed his arms, collecting himself for the explanation. The only way to win this game was to make sure the other party lost first, after all. "Well?" Death questioned, gro...
“You got it?” The question takes me off guard, I’m still trying to process this new info. The tall man with the black hooded cloak at the end of my bed tilted his head slightly, the scythe that rested in the crook of his arm caught the moonlight ominously. “Sorry, this outfit does normally startles people. How’s this...
