Reply to [WP] - Each Fantasy Race sees themselves as Adventurers and Pioneers. But they each go in different directions, Humans long for the skies, Elves journey over the vast open surface, and Dwarves know in their hearts that the true mysteries lie deep below. Each faction thinks they are right. by Mr_PizzaCat

Reply to [WP] You feel your powers flood back to you as the dampeners in your cell shut off. A man in a business suit steps into it and asks a simple question. by ankh3125

Reply to [WP] You died and awoke in the afterlife. It's quite nice actually. The people and atmosphere are a lot nicer than you are used to and there is no stress or pressure. When you ask what good deed got you into heaven you are informed that this is hell, followed by a visit from a very concerned demon. by Kitty_Fuchs

I always knew I was going to end up in heaven. I knew it. I spent my entire life trying to advance humanity. Trying to solve all its problems. Sure I may of cracked a few eggs here and there but the omelette was delicious!

So imagine my surprise when I awoke in a bed in some small town with a demon telling me I was in hell.

“Hell…are you sure?” I asked gesturing to the homely cabin I was in. “I mean sure the sheets have polyester in them but where’s the fire? The torture? The screaming?”

The demon sat across from me wearing a nice write button down shirt, black skirt and tie. She smiled and pushed up thick glasses.

“That’s only for certain people Mr. Whimble. Hell it’s different for each person and we make sure to craft each experience to the individual”.

“So then enlighten me” I challenged crossing my arms. “Why is this my hell”.

She smiled a vicious, knowing smiling as if I had played right into her plan. Like I was losing a game I didn’t even know we were playing.

“Of course Mr. Whimbly.” She took out a binder from a bad beside her and opened it to the first couple of pages before starting.

“Now everyone knows how you were a philanthropist, donating money to help better the world. But not everyone knows why you chose this route in life”. She flipped the page and continued “in an interview back in ‘97 you said it was movies”.

“That’s correct” I interjected. “It was the stories of how the hero always overcame the odds and win in the end. No matter how bad it seemed. How dark it got. The struggle, the fight was what defined them. What made them. It was exciting to see the hero fight their way to victory to change along the way. And that’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to fight for good”.

“Exactly” the demon said. “You possessed a drive not many other humans have. A need to better not only yourself but the world around you. It’s quite admirable”.

I bowed my head in a thankful manner. I’ve been complimented before but not by a demon.

“And now it’s over. Happy eternity Mr. Whimbly”. She slammed her binder closed, packed it, and got up to leave.

“Wait wait,” I started getting up after her, “What do you mean it’s over?”

She walked to the door and opened it to expose a little town. The weather was cloudy but light enough to see the grassy field right outside the little cottage.

“This is your life now” she gestured “no more no less. No problems. No solutions. No fighting. You have nothing more to aspire to and nothing more to see.”

I stepped past her calculating what the rest of time had in store for me. It was…boring.

Reply to [WP] Your elf girlfriend is having a breakdown because it now just hit her that she will outlive you and your children. by SomeSortOfUser

I passed by a door when I stopped. There was something off. There was someone there, near the bed, and I could have sworn it made a noise. Backtracking, I noticed a blonde woman sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands over her face. And I heard her made the noise again, she hucked in air.

"What is it my love?" I asked.

She just turned her head away. So I sat on the bed next to her and rubbed her back. "You can tell me about anything, really." I said.

"It's not something really interesting," she said.

"I don't mind," I replied.

"I just remembered that I'm going to outlive you all. I know we talked about it before. I never really felt it, emotionally, until now." she said. "I know I rather have you guys then never had you add all, but I still have the feeling of sadness of losing you someday." she replied.

"oh," was all I said at first. After a brief pause I said, "Why don't we take it one day at a time then," I replied as I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the side of the head. "You know anything could happens. Even a war could break out and we'd lose you. But it helps thinking about the days we do have together, even if we get into a lot of fights every now and again. I love you."

"I love you too," she said.

Thanks for looking out for AI generated content. In future, simply report the post without commenting your suspicions. Using AI to write stories is against our rules and will likely result in a ban, but commenting on the story can often lead to unnecessary uncivil discussion, which is also against our rules.

Reply to [WP] I know this game might sound silly but I'm autistic and would like someone to pretend to be a brand of paper towel and the idea of the game is that you have to explain what you had to clean up and makeup a story about yourself as a paper towel.

Reply to comment by MadMusicNerd in [WP] It's 1986 America, you and your friends are running from a masked killer at a lake house but just as he is about to catch you, he is run over by a Soviet T-34 tank. It's crew seem just as confused are you are. by Jacob6er

I was thinking that all the agents/soldiers had to be poorly skilled. Who would suspect goofy idiots to be secret soviet spies? Or they had sleeper agents, but they're all old/senile.

They were also able to get tanks into the country by sending them piece by piece or just built make shift ones.

In the end, although the americans were surprised at first, they ultimate demolished this poor force.
