Reply to comment by GrunkleStanwhich in [WP] Your superpower isn’t anything special. You can make stuff disappear behind your back then pull it back out again. When a friend at a party asks you to do it to them it sounds like a great laugh. But when you pull them back out they look older, disheveled, and are frantic to be sent back. by A_GOOD_NINJA
Next time maybe do it with a GoPro?

Now she sounds just nasty!

Alex ended up "back" where they were originally from when the character pulled them out as a kid. Something they had both blocked out from their memories due to the trauma of that original place.

Enjoyed it.
If you want to have it retain your line lengths rather than trying to flow them together, place 2-3 spaces at the end of the line. That can turn:
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3
into:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
(The only difference in the above is that the second set had three (3) spaces at the end of the line.)
Hope that might be useful.

That’s what these guys are internally asking themselves.

I dont quite get what the "Back" was. But my interpretation is that your character can put things to and from the Backrooms as well as parallel universes.

I smile a wide smile as I grin at my blushing bride, The preacher tells of the miracles of God to me and my bride.
I await with great satisfaction with my scheme coming to reality, and I commit myself to saying "I do" and kneel in.
Our lips grace each other in a moment of manipulated love, a love I thought hoax, untill I felt it. She leaned into my shoulder after and whispered, she whispered things I never thought dream able, let alone humanly possible.
She suggested bombings, war crimes and devilry in all the worst way's. My plans had gone too well. Where all I wanted to do was prove hero man wrong, that my life style was possible.
Three years and counting, I still haven't found the solution, even after giving up on my home and joining hero man's hero coup. I've divorced her and even cut off any and all ties with her. She still found me, I'm not sure when the war will end but I pray it will be soon...

There’s a short comic about that somewhere. Although it’s just one guy

Standing on the precipice,
I look over the edge.
Above me the goal,
Below the demons.
The soul-suckers,
Self-doubt, fear, misgivings
Reach up from the pit
Trying to ensnare.
The edge crumbles
As they reach for me.
Can I sacrifice worry in time to fly
Before they pull me down?
One step, one leap,
Time to decide.
Will I fall or
Will I emerge victorious?

u/Hunter62610 This one's a bit messy and I will change the name if you are uncomfortable. (Just skip to the last paragraph of the story if it's too much text) You gave me some ideas, so I added a little gimmick at the end

Thanks! It was a good, prompt. I tend to prefer ones with characters, or seed situations, and your prompt really felt like the beginning of a story

This was excellent. Felt like an excerpt from a much larger story
