>“From what?” Ember argued back, “Mice?”

That sentence makes me glad for my own office - as for sure i`d have startled colleagues with my laugh.

​

Well done.

He watched the man sipping his coffee. He knew he should be writing something witty, with awesome metaphors like the last post he had read. But he had nothing. His paper blank except a speck of dark dust on the corner. He looked up at the man again who took another sip of coffee. He wondered if it were black, or perhaps pumpkin spice. “Dare I go over to him and ask him for a sip? “ he thought to himself. What did he have to lose anyways? He didn’t have any ideas to write. His mind was empty. This was the first original thought he had all day while trying to think. Why not simply act on it and see what happens? He kept staring at The unsuspecting man. Trying to build up the courage to find out how he liked his coffee. He closed his eyes telling himself he could do it. He placed his first foot forward. Then the other. It was easier then he thought. He was now at the man who still didn’t look at him. He bent down taking the cup from his hand, putting the edge of the cup the his mouth and sipping. The world melted away in a collapse of colorful light. He was strapped down to a table. “How did you know how to escape the virtual world that I created DarkStalker!” The multi tentacled space alien asked? “DarkStalker! Thats my name! How did I forgot!” He flexed, bursted from the iron shackles that held him!

Awesome! I'll have to come back and read the stories you linked. And as to how this happened, you were nominated by a person on the subreddit who has enjoyed your stories and you got the Spotlight! I've read through a handful of them too and equally enjoyed them. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

"W-what?"

God's three eyes looked me up and down.

"I have something stronger if you want. But I usually drink vodka watching 'How I met your mother' you know?"

"N-no I died. I remember that clearly! Is this Haven?" God looked at me with wide open eyes.

"Haven!? No! I'm surprised that thing still exists! I- didn't I banned it? Oh Me, I have to check on Jeff that damn eye has to do his job properly instead of playing vthe Sims 4 all the time."

"What about the church?"

God chuckled while his purple vest left little golden particles at his movements. "Oh, them. They did everything on their own. Kid, look, I have to run the multiverse, I don't have time to care about what Marisa the cashier did on weekend, 'kay? I don' t even care to be honest. I NEVER interacted with mortals except in the beginning of life."

I looked at him. " So, everyone were wrong. You exist but you don't care and... And what about reincarnation?! "

God raised an eyebrow. " Well, you can do that but I don't raccomand. It's an annoying loop." He lit a cigarette while passing me a golden glass.

"You said the universe was doomed." God sighed. While I drank.

"Yeah, yeah. That. You see, reality is rather... Unstable. And it's my job to give it stability. But of course, it's an hard task, everything that happens can cause a terrible butterbly effect that leads to the inevitable dostruction of Time-line two."

I gulped. " Timeline two? "

" We don't talk about Timeline one. But don't worry. I have that pretty boy from the time department dealing with it. He's lovely." We got into an enormous room full of clocks and little robots. Many people were working and God and I walked to the end of the room, where a guy, with long and wavy golden hair was ranting about something. His nose was bloody.

" There you are. " He looked at God and flushed a little.

"My Lord. The anomaly is detected and we are proceeding with the remotion from the current line." God smiled.

"Good, you never disappoint me. Well, sweetie this is Jerry, Jerry, Lan, the most powerful wizard of the multiverse. And I'm sure he's kind enough to make you take a look around." The wizard froze.

"But sir-" God waved. "Byeee."

The wizard sighed. "Dammit Aegher! Omniscient God of materia my ass. Ugh. Jerry right? I- I'm sorry. Aegher usually is less tense about-"

"Who's Aegher?"

"God."

"I thought-"

"He has many names. Now. Come with me. I'll ask Jeff to find you a desk." God was right. The guy looked like an elf from the Lord of the rings. "He said you're a wizard."

He cleaned his nose from the blood. "I am. And, listen. Don't worry about this. You'll find yourself good here. Everyone are nice if you scare them enough."

"Do I work here now? Why?"

"Who knows. I mean, Aegher knows, but-"

A thought popped in my mind. "Are you Lucifer?!"

The wizard chuckled. "what? Me? No. I'm not a demon. But I destroyed a world or two. I could teach you magic if I have some free time. The basis I guess."

"I'll pass."

We arrived at big desk where an empty smoking with an eye as the head looked at us. "Hey Jeff, Can you bring the new guy to his desk.c Said the wizard taking a bunch of candies from a bowl in the desk.

The eye rolled up. " Hey shout up. Aegher created you for doing his job! I'm here because I'm good at it. So I can take as much candies as I want to." said the wizard.

I looked at the eye. "He can talk?" A voice answered in my head. "Oh course I can. Please tell the brat to stop annoying me."

The wizard laughed. "Oh Jeff, oh... Nice joke. Hey, Jerry, I have to go now, see ya."

He looked at Jeff once again and smiled. "Listen eye guy, I'll sleep with your dad tonight so you better find a sobstitute for the weaponry recourses. Greetings."

I stood there while Jeff gave me a piece of paper. "Second door in the third corridor. This is your name tag. Welcome to the Ministry of the Multiverse."

Well, bows at least have the advantage of reusable ammo, since most of the time, you can recover an arrow when it's fired. And bows are much quieter too, so you don't alert everything in a mile wide radius to your location.

But in a duel, especially if both combattants start in an unready position, a gun should win 9 times out of 10.

You are an ordinary human, on your way to work when suddenly....suddenly.....a....FUCK. It's no use. There's no prompts to be written about getting a cheeky coffee on the way to the office. There's no inspiration in a Supermarket Meal Deal. The only super worth prompting is the heroic kind. But after five stories about a super villain and hero interacting in an unexpected way, six about aliens finding humans surprising and eight around how amazing I would be if I gained superpowers/was born as alien. I was tapped.

Sure, I could pop on an Avengers film and think about how much shorter the film would be had I been there with my own powers. But I craved more interaction in my wish fulfillment than that. I craved strangers furiously typing on their phones from my bare bones instructions. I craved the notifications. I sighed, let go of any attempt at artistic integrity and started to type again.

'You are a Superhero who just found out their room mate is an alien supervillain, but he always pays his rent on time and is a great cook...'

Now it was six.
