Prank from the Other Side [WP] For Halloween, you decide to dress up as a crazy person wearing a tinfoil hat. However, once you place the hat on your head you hear a strange voice: “Finally, the gamma waves are gone! Now listen up, we don’t have much time!” ***** “Oh yeah, the Halloween party. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget this time. Yeah, I’m sure you will love my costume this year. I put a lot of work into it. Ok, see ya, Brittany.” Brian hung up the phone, dropping onto…

Dead Man Walking [WP] You recently died and became a ghost. Not wanting your friends and family to feel sad about your death, you possessed your corpse and acted like you were still alive. It worked for a while, but your body decomposing is becoming more noticeable and you're running out of ideas for how to hide it. ***** I couldn't let go. Not yet. My wife and daughter needed me. I hadn't seen them more distraught than when they witnessed my body after the car crash. Their…

Bladez [WP] The super villain shook with rage as they stared at the security footage. "He's not even a real superhero with superpowers! He's just some loser who's really good at throwing knives at people without killing them!" ***** "Is he really a loser?" said Andrew, nursing a bandaged knife wound on his right hand. "He single-handedly kicked our asses. I mean, what does that say about us?" Dabria frowned. "He got lucky. If I had been there, the result would've been…

Change [WP] War is the bread and butter of your people, so you were taken aback when the enemy saved your life. Cheated of a Good Death, you awake in a human field hospital and treated better here than back amongst your peers. Here, they even remember your name. Your loyalty drastically shifts... ***** Among my people, the words for war and life are the same. I will not hammer out the tired wisdom of that polysemy for you. You know better than most. You have seen it with…
@Ozzyy
Luck [WP] It turns out that luck is genetic. As underground research labs begin to appear, scientists across the globe set traps to capture lucky humans so they can be traded on the black market. It’s now recommended that people avoid casinos, night clubs, and Ireland. ***** I didn’t think my discovery would change anything. People with good genetics were always considered lucky. The only thing my research proved was that our perception of the phenomenon had been backwards.…

Yin Yang [WP] We “knew” humans were weak as they avoided every war with diplomacy. We never imagined they’d be this ruthless & how seemingly overnight they went from peaceful beings to a state they call “TOTAL WAR”. War is in their blood & soul. They thrive on it, mostly when the odds are against them. ***** “I still remember the look on Ambassador Ford’s (Betelgeusean Republic’s representative to the former Galactic Councils 300 BT – 5 TA) face when I informed him we had…

The Princess and the Pauper **[WP] It is said that the cursed princess can only be awoken by true love's kiss. To wake her up, the king has had princes from all over the world come to kiss her to no avail. One day, a peasant boy walks up to the sleeping princess and splashes her with cold water to wake her up. It actually works.** ***** “That’s it, I’m done cleaning the room of some sleeping princess. Why should I have to spend everyday greeting stupid princes that can’t…

Undead Prey **[WP] A vampire knocks on your door, seeking permission to enter in order to kill you as their next meal. As a house-bound ghost, however, the prospects of a guest after so many years intrigues you. Smiling darkly, you welcome them inside.** ***** The tall, pale woman with long black hair stood at the door of my family's summer cabin, staring at me with intense dark eyes. I noticed that she had her arms wrapped about her, as though she wanted me to believe she…
@Ozzyy
(Dis)Appointments **[WP] You're the worst adventurer in history. You've made every imaginable mistake and have had little to no success in quests or dungeons. So you decide to set up a school to teach new adventures what not to do. Your graduates have gone on to be elite adventurers making your school famous.** ***** "Please professor," Maggie said, leaning forwards attentively. Her light brown hair swung in the wind that rushed through the open window. It was facing the…
@Ozzyy
The Hoard **[WP] Fearing that the passage of centuries may have altered the value of their hoard, an ancient dragon hires you to appraise the lot. It's remarkably tricky to stay objective and focused when your client has razor talons and fire breath. And that's not even mentioning the more esoteric "treasures".** ***** I thought dragons were dangerous. This deal we made tells me otherwise. I was the first human it found, which puzzled me. Surely from so high up, one could…
@Ozzyy
Death's Emissary [WP] You are a hero in service of Death itself. As counterintuitive as this may seem, it is not what it looks like. It's just that villains tend to kill people before their time and Death really hates people messing up fate. ***** I work in service of Death and in doing so, preserve life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve worked for hand in hand with Death to ensure that those fated to live to survive villainous attacks. My work keeps order, but more than…
@Ozzyy
A Cure **[WP] In a universe where the rules of superhero comics are real, any vat of chemicals, any vial of liquid, any combination of ingredients may result in superpowers. In this universe, you are the most feared superhero or villain imaginable. You are The Chemist.** ***** “Pleasure to see you, Mr. Fallen Dagger. I know we aren’t meeting on the best of terms, but I assure you, coming to my chemist was the best decision you ever made. I can’t wait to cure you.” The…
@Ozzyy
Con went Wrong **[WP] You are a "con-man superhero". You draw the attention of villains, pretend to have powers, and keep them occupied until a real hero with real powers arrives on the scene. You are so good at your job, that no one is entirely sure whether you are truly powerless or not.** ***** "Then it's settled," said Director Page, "we have to send Con-Man to take care of their main force." I widened my eyes. Every hero in the conference room nodded in approval.…
@Ozzyy
rogue **[WP] The use of human soldiers stopped with the rise combat droids. To make them effective the memory engrams of veterans were imprinted onto them. However one droid outperformed the others and went rogue. The military and the droid seek the veteran they used to imprint to understand what went wrong** ***** “Excuse me? Mr. Studer? I’m sorry if this is a bad time but it’s a matter of national security and can’t wait.” From inside I hear the old man groan and growl as…
@Ozzyy
Invasion? **[WP] The magical races enslaved magic-less humans centuries ago. To expand their empires, the magical races travel and conquer different dimensions. They soon stumble across and try to conquer a magic-less world full of humans. It did not go well.** ***** "Dude, there's a weird circle in my backyard." I very nearly hung up the phone. Dave had a bad habit of pranking me, and this sounded like a doozy. But, it had been a while since I'd seen him and I wasn't doing…
@Ozzyy
Prank? [WP] Aliens always respawn minutes after death. It's a common prank for aliens to kill each other for a laugh. When they discover Earth, they kill millions of humans, thinking it's a humorous way of greeting this new species, but for some reason, the humans aren't laughing.. ***** The three teenage aliens sat in the front seats of their spaceship, looking down over the quiet city, thousands of street lights shining up through the night sky. Tago, the heaviest of the…
@Ozzyy
Sonic Tales **[WP] The Magical Girls were defeated, but before their capture, they released their instrument-weapons. Formerly, they always landed in the hands of either J-pop, or K-pop girl bands but this time -for some reason- the weapons choose a Finnish Death-Metal boyband. They were PAINFULLY efficient.** ***** The people of Little Town had long been used to the pattern. First, the sky would darken, and one of their neighbors, now mutated into a grotesque reflection of…
@Ozzyy
Roses are Red **[WP] You're a supervillain whose latest evil scheme threatens to throw the city into chaos unless your nemesis goes on a date with you. To your surprise, they agree with enthusiasm before you can even explain what the consequences of refusing are.** ***** "At least take me out on a date before you tie me up," said Neuro Lady, giggling through her restraints. "You'll end up alone if you lead like this." I ignored the comment and carried on with my scheme. The…
@Ozzyy
Change of Approach **[WP] A mentor, who is used to teaching poorly behaved, bratty and insecure teenagers how to be a proper hero, faces their biggest challenge yet: teaching a mature, well-mannered, and mentally stable teenager.** ***** "The world is a cruel, unfair place. My job is to make you even *more* cruel and unfair, so that you can fight back the terrors that haunt us. Be warned, however," I took off my glass eye for dramatic effect. "What you've lost can never be…
@Ozzyy
Dance Feverish **[WP] This was the most depressing thing the villain has ever seen. It’s one thing to be invited to their archenemy’s birthday party. It was another to be the only one who showed up.** ***** I kicked open the front door, wielding a dance fever gun and a pair of 2022 glasses that were really obstructing my field of vision. “I heard someone was having a party. It would be a real shame if someone made you all catch the dancing bug. Like the great dancing plague…
@Ozzyy
Flaming Immortality **[WP] "But I'm your direct descendant! Which means I'm fated to defeat you!" "Kid, I'm ten thousand years old. Everyone in the kingdom is my direct descendant. You're nothing special."** ***** With his last mortal breath, Elgathar the Ferocious screamed as the eternal flames absorbed him. His once-brown eyes flickered to a vibrant red. He grinned in delight. There was no need for an elixir of life, after all. Immortality was gained in a different way. It…
@Ozzyy
Heroes, not by choice **[WP] "So you're saying we should save this world that hates us and where every living thing in it wants us dead?", question the goblin. The orc shrugged, "Yeah, I mean we live in it too.". The goblin sighed, "When do we start?".** ***** Plenty has been written about the Fellowship of the Nine Companions tasked with helping Frodo, the Ring-bearer, destroy The One Ring in the volcanic fires that engulf Mount Doom. But few if any of Middle Earth are…
@Ozzyy
Slip of the Tongue **[WP] You are the CEO of a successful energy company. You’re invited to a business dinner, and if the deal goes well, it could revolutionize energy as we know it. Only one problem. Garlic’s in the food, utensils are silver and it’s held in an old chapel. And you’re a vampire.** ***** "What about solar?" "He *hates* solar. Whatever you do, don't bring it up." "What's so bad about renewables?" "Just keep your mouth shut." I could hear them before they…
@Ozzyy
Bully? Please **[WP] The Zalrex were feared among the galaxy as the cruelest, most violent, and ruthless species. They would bully, slap hit, and sometimes even kill other species. Nobody could stand in their way.. till they arrived on a small blue planet named Earth.** ***** The vessel hissed and shook as it began entry into the planet’s atmosphere. The view from the command bridge was that of the orange glow of heat that is made when a spacecraft dives head first into the…
@Ozzyy
Diplomacy **[WP] The knight returns from his expedition, and the lookout towers report no activity from the dragon's cave. "How did you do that without bloodying your sword?" asks the prince regnant, his father ill. "Uhh... diplomacy, yes, diplomacy."** ***** "Diplomacy, Ser Aethelred?" Prince Eadric sighed before the court. "Really? That tired old euphemism? I'm not a child anymore. If laying with the beast gave a swifter and safer resolution to its predations than slaying…
@Ozzyy
The Voices [WP] You are a mighty hero, a god-king worshipped by your people. But you were not always this way. Once you were a child struggling to survive. It was a small gentle voice in your head that has guided you to prosperity and victory time and time again. Never have you questioned why. Until today. ***** The voice told me to execute my best friends. I never thought a day would come when I would have to doubt it. The voice had never led me astray and always urged me…
@Ozzyy
Desire **[WP] The young woman had spoken to everyone in town, asking them to teach her to fight. The warrior, the hunter, the knight, all had declined. Finally, in desperation, she spoke to the dwarven blacksmith. Lowering his massive hammer he looked at the fire in her eyes and said "Aye. I could do that."** ***** "Please, teach me to fight." Looking up from my work, I stared into the young woman's eyes. She'd asked everyone in the town before coming to me, and while some…
@Ozzyy
Objection **[WP] You rush into a church to stop the love of your life from marrying the wrong person. Not paying attention, you shout "I OBJECT" only to realize it's a funeral. The deceased immediately rises in perfect health. All eyes turn to you.** ***** “I object! I still love you, Sarah. If I can’t win you over with my words, I’ll do it in song. I thought love was only true in fairy tales-“ Everyone was dead silent, not exactly the reaction I expected from my declaration…
@Ozzyy
Cause and Effect **[WP] When the villain got his hands on a time machine, he figured sending someone forwards to scout the future would be smart. The report that came back was one of untold devastation and horror, with multiple genocidal wars that he didn't want. And most of that destruction was his own fault.** ***** "I don't understand," I ask my minion. "I'm planning on world domination, sure, but I'd never let people destroy the planet! How, exactly, does this happen?"…
