Any reason you deleted your prompt? Did Mr. Ye's lawyers contact you?

Now the question is, how would such a device grant immortality? Would it hand over the secrets to make one immortal? Send you on a accident that would make you such? Make you famous enough to live on forever through your work should immortality be impossible?

Sure!

"For those reading in the future, I was inspired to combine these two prompts together, originally posted less than a day apart. https://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/11q54rr/wp_when_you_wrote_i_know_what_you_did_5_years_ago/ "

I just didn't want the link to be visible when people were reading until they got to the end, and also to explain how it connected to the current writing prompt if they missed the previous one.

Thanks Fye!

I'm sure if the edit of that sentence is better or worse but we'll find out in campfire I imagine.

Removed the knife repetition, I must have missed it in the last edit.

And Eddie was stabbed in the back six times. He just also happened to be stabbed in the throat. So the Seer was mostly right? I debated the ending the most I think and rewrote it several times.

Thanks! I struggle on the 'helpful crit' front also when it comes to anything but spelling and grammar, lol. I understand what you're driving at though and can say that I was on the fence about it when writing it.

You wind up friends. Jim is a good dude, so when you’re hanging out one day, you just kinda blurt it out.

“Jim, you do know… that you’re a dragon, right?”

“I know, I know!” He’s sighing, rolling his eyes and looking pained. “Look, I was raised by humans, okay? I guess I was supposed to be some kind of pet, but my mom… well, they couldn’t have kids, and I became their kid. Maybe they didn’t know that we could talk? But honestly, the first time I spoke, my dad was filming, and you should see her face. She lights up in a way I can hardly describe. She’s the best mom ever, and she wants me to learn about dragonology and my history and whatev, so here I am. I don’t even really care that much, but it’s super important to her. I mean, the connection I have with the human community is pretty unique, and maybe someday I can utilise it to try to make reparations between our cultures.”

“Reparations? What do you mean?”

“Oh…. Yeah. I forget, it’s buried pretty deep among the stuff we get taught. But the humans screwed us over pretty good. Hiccup and toothless made it look good for the movies, but dragons were enslaved, man. It wasn’t cool. And when we fought back, they called it mutiny or whatever. In reality, they were asking younger and younger dragons to work, to be pets for their kids, which really means getting beaten up and not reacting. Or being beaten by the adults because they defends themselves from the kids. That’s not something I’m gonna subject my kids to - hells no. That’s why I’m kinda failing class, though. My assignments don’t match up with the curriculum - I’m telling the truth.”

It takes a while for all of this to sink in.

“But… if you were raised human - sorry, raised BY humans, my bad - and your mom wants you taking this class to learn the history, how do you know the alternative stuff?”

A glint appears in Jim’s eyes and they appear slightly shifty for the first time.

“I… uh… did some of my own research, you could say.”

I think they had to shutdown reddit in order to update the site with the new bot.

This magical key is basically the best life coach in the world. You still need to know what you want. You need to put in the effort. But once you settle on a path you want to follow, the red carpet unfurls.

Either that, or they'll put it down, and "lose" the magic key, finding the one they were looking for.

i love this :)

The torrent suddenly stopped.

So the key is more of an opportunity maker, not a wish granter. Still very nice to have

It's just the link to the 5 years ago prank post from yesterday. It did the same thing to me the second time I tried hitting jt

Thanks Lively appreciate the kind words and feedback. May also steal your title idea :)

Covered in blood and exhausted beyond all hope, our hero hears a beautiful voice that he swore was gone from his life forever.

Expand the business, sell or get rich, repeat until you can solve bigger problems, then ask the key for help solving them.... Eventually sell key to a likeminded trusted person and save the people and planet.

Kat, you've given us another delightful read. I never fail to smile reading your stories, I'm in for a shock if you ever write a dark piece!
Smiled big time at "dodge gods". I can see that as a title also, a nice little juxtaposition for the disused tennis courts in the first para.
I've awarded myself the title of Crap Critiquer...so I'll be scuttling off now!
Thanks for an enjoyable story.

Thanks, Kat. I'm grateful for your feedback as always. The wonderful Fye also got confused as you did in 1. The point is definitely taken! Thanks for highlighting your issue in 2. You've given me pause for thought on how I could have tackled this differently.

Did you still drink it though

Good work.
