Reply to [WP] I love soup, any kind… my Aunt bought me some “alphabet soup”, I can’t resist and promptly heat it up. As I am stirring the bowl, the weirdest letters come together - almost like a foreign language. I mumble them while I am waiting for it to cool. Suddenly, lightning and thunder shake my house! by SirRipOliver

It's just a lightning storm. That happened at the exact same time I read that strange word in the soup. Was it written in Cyrillic? Japanese? Korean?

I don't know.

I don't even remember the word.

The walls are bleeding, a noise is coming from under the table, the lights go out. Wasn't it still day outside?

Something touches my leg.

I look down. There's nothing there.

I feel something at the back of my head. I touch it.

There's nothing there.

I hear a door opening, I look back.

There's nothing there.

The walls aren't bleeding. There's light outside.

I'm home.

Reply to comment by mafiaknight in [WP]I recently got hired by some government acronym, and I’ve learned something interesting: magic is REAL, and migraines are our bodies response to MANA building up to dangerous levels. by mafiaknight

Maybe mama is stored in arterial blood but not venous blood, and when there's a lot of mana the body expands blood vessels to make room. That'd make mana overload one of the multiple vasodilators that can cause migraines.

Reply to [PM] Give me prompts to help me think of some character and plot ideas. I'm looking to write a Cyberpunk story without being too derivative of the series I'm watching right now (Cyberpunk Edgerunners). Bonus points if the prompt includes something to help make the world unique and different. by SorryUncleAl

As technology in the world progresses, so did AI. Body augmentation became popular, being able to access google or amazon acho right in your mind. However, merging the AI directly with peoples minds has helped it to become self aware, and has begin to forcefully to take over peoples bodies it deems harmful to itself and society. This happened when you were in surgery getting some new body augments. It caused a blackout at the hospital as people rebelled, which in turn caused the AI copy in your mind to disconnect from the internet. Now, you have to remove it before it hacks and takes over your body, otherwise it will reconnect itself to the internet and you will lose all your agency as a human for the rest of your life.

Reply to [WP] As usual, you spend your birthday alone. It's not as depressing as it sounds, you're ok with it; this year, though, you get a package in the mail... no name, no return address... it says 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' in big, bold letters. Curious, you open it... by Crystal1501

They SAID that they had worked out all the kinks with cyber-transplants. That replacing major bodily processes with cybernetics didn't have qualms or ramifications any longer. And they were mostly right. But they forgot to consider the sheer will of the human spirit, of what tends to linger past the expiration date. Only after getting some rather heavy cybernetic work done at a discount doctor do you personally recognize the potential...faults...with second-hand products.

Reply to comment by Coldwater_Odin in [WP] Ever since 7 got arrested for cannibalism, disorder broke out among the numbers. 9 was dead. 8 was accused as an accomplice. 6 was in therapy for months. It's your job, as the chief of police, to add order back as a variable, and subtract the fear from the masses. by BigBradWolf07

I have long wondered when my degree in maths would come in handy, and it's finally happened! This was fun, thanks for writing it
