Reply to comment by English_American in [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. by chacham2
Very interesting! A good addiction (and side character) could be that his body remain unconscious and someone (like a secretary) that take of the body for the time he is away. In this way there would be possibilities to develop even relationships

Reply to comment by Crystal1501 in [WP] You're unimaginably strong... but you're also unstable and uncontrollable. For your safety, as well as everyone else's, you're locked in a highly-fortified, secured facility. You don't mind; you know this is for the best. Besides, if serious danger threatens, you're the city's ace. by Crystal1501
I mean... That's kinda what I was going for, so thanks

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] All adults can make a pilgrimage once a year to a genie and attempt to make a wish. However, the genie will only grant the wish if it's never be asked for before in all history. Most people never get their wish. On your 18th birthday you make the trip and are surprised to get your wish. by shadowkyros
Fuck yeah, all my towels are now mint green 😁

It's the end of the world but the people on Mars are doing just fine. They even enjoy sending little National Geographic documentaries, who stand by as people are ravaged by the wastes

Reply to [WP] "Infinite wishes?" The genie laugh out loud one more time "what, you're not smart enough to use 3 wishes?" wiping its tears from laugh you get more and more frustrated every time, as you try to find a loophole it just laugh out loud even more while mocking and gaslighting you just like this. by veritasmahwa

The Waveries is a short story about an apocalypse that, in modern times, would start by the Wifi being down...
(Being an older piece of scifi, it was written before wifi so the first sign of trouble is over the radio)

It started with rain water being no longer safe to consume anywhere in the world. Soon after we have poisoned every last water source. Everyone eventually tries to drink the poisoned water, or distills it - and dies fast. People in regions with no available water have already died, and there are just few cities left having enough drinkable water to survive a week. When it’s gone there will be a countdown: 3 days before everyone dies of dehydration.

Fair point, but I imagine the structures around it would break down as soon as it was literally impossible to collect profit from corralling the genie.

Nicely written!
But it doesn't work, because the initial cost stays the same. Only people who already have the money then would attempt to buy a ticket. Which means all the rich brats get their money back, while the poor people can't afford the initial cost.

Reply to [EU] It started out as a regular day in my job as a cop, then I find out my daughter joined some sort of cult and that vampires are real (and SPARKLE for some reason) and werewolves are real! by George_WL_
I've stared at the whiskey bottle on my desk for hours. It's slowly lost its volume as I've whirled down the rabbit hole of my mind.
Vampires are real.
My daughter's an idiot.
The Indian reservation down the road is just a bunch of furries.
It's not 1998 anymore. I can't just call Wesley Snipes and have him do his whole katana routine. This is a real problem that I have to face.
I've got half the whiskey left to figure this out. I rack my brain across all the Hollywood lore I can think of. Discarding the most outlandish of the solutions. I'm not as spry as I used to be. Fighting mutants with a sharp stick probably isn't my best bet.
Can a man who doesn't believe in God get away with using holy water I muse. Probably not.
Silver bullets maybe? I eye the shotgun on the table next to the whiskey bottle. Maybe grandma's gravy boat can be melted down into something useful after all?
I put the melted gravy boat in the maybe column and move on to other strategies.
