Did you know that certain parasites can manipulate vocal cords?

He didn't, either.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Arthur's didn't know why his family and friends wanted him to not take the pills. He hasn't seen them since.

 

[The Adder]

I sometimes worry about my decisions in life. I can hardly taste the blood anymore.

 

[abstract alien]

A wrongfully imprisoned, daily tortured man receives a slip with the number "8" written as his answer for how many years he has left.

He was holding the paper wrong.

 

[dog$]

All I want to know is where my wife is.

I don't know why they keep getting more angry and sad every time I ask.

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

He placed the knife on the floor and crawled inside, it was wet yet familiar and comforting.

Before succumbing to slumber he murmured "Mother, I'm home now".

 

[i-Lo]

He was reliving the best moments of his life in vivid detail. Sadly, he wouldn't be able to relay this amazing feat of accomplishment.

That one got me.

Setting aside all the kidding in the thread for a moment, this one had potential if the prose was better.

The tortured man wept in joy when he was shown he only had 8 days left of his unjust imprisonment. A guard reached in and turned the scrap of paper.

 

[Like the hat?]

As soon as she looked, the man looking in her bedroom window darted away.

Her room was on the second floor.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Gaffer boarded the train to work as usual, prepared to pass the commute(and much of the work day) playing mobile games and surfing the Internet on his mobile phone. He reached into his pocket to discover that he left his phone at home.

 

[Yaboosh]

The tortured man wept in joy when he was shown he only had 8 years left of his unjust imprisonment. A guard reached in and turned the scrap of paper.

Eh, nobody would weep with joy at the prospect of 8 more years. Maybe change it to days?

 

[Yaboosh]

As soon as she looked, the man looking in her bedroom window darted away.

Her room was on the second floor.

As soon as she looked, the man looking in her bedroom window darted away. She ran downstairs to call the police.



Shoot, stupid double post. My bad.

 

[LuffyZoro]

Eh, nobody would weep with joy at the prospect of 8 more years. Maybe change it to days?

Yeah, that does work better. I guess I was just thinking in terms of the original.

Agreed, I really couldn't get it together how I would have liked.

The tortured man wept in joy when he was shown he only had 8 days left of his unjust imprisonment. A guard reached in and turned the scrap of paper.

Yeah, this is better. Can I edit it in?

nice one

 

[Rhomega Beta]

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another TV show!

 

[MikeDown]

I'm in the basement. Guess what I'm wearing.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

He couldn't remember how long it had been since the lights went out.

It was lonely without stars.

 

[Yaboosh]

The screaming would finally be over now. She closed her eyes as they closed theirs, finally alone with her thoughts of Him.

 

[Mully]

She listens to his command and lets his fingers slip beneath her communion dress. Her eyes begin to melt with tears as she looks up and says, "Daddy?"

 

[Like the hat?]

The world's wealthiest man sat in his now fuelless rocket ship, drifting farther and farther from the solar system. He looked at the lamp and wished his third wish hadn't been to live forever.

 

[Makonero]

Sobbing, he cradled her bleeding head in his lap. That was when the vampiress bit.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

"Stop messing with my hair or you're gonna make me mess up on my nail polish!"

"Honey, who're you talking to up there?!"

 

[Spring-Loaded]

The young, single mother awoke on the couch next to her newborn. Since his birth, she'd never seen him so quiet and still.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Something about her seemed familiar about the color of her hair or the way it felt like she was walking toward me. She was and said "You might not remember me, but I'm pregnant and it's yours."

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The third wish was to recover his memories, but the genie couldn't grant it twice.


Every full moon the man hunted down the beast, but he could never shoot his son.

 

[Mully]

It was the third time since he left work that he looked at his watch when he heard a voice whisper to him, "You're late." The once punctual man made his final appointment as he stepped onto the subway tracks.

 

[casmith07]

Flowers in tow, and pep in step, he bounded across the threshold of the marital home, eager to surprise her for their anniversary.

The rhythmic sound of romance upon his entry, however, was not a round of applause for his efforts.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

"Sorry I'm late picking up the baby, Mrs. Carter, but I've had a long day of work out in that scorching Sun."

"You never dropped the baby off, sir..."

 

[Lamel]

Lol at this thread.

 

[GhaleonEB]

After the flailing panic of stepping through a web that big - wide enough to span the jungle path - John calmed only when he concluded its maker was not in the part he'd broken. He was smiling up at the sun shimmering through the canopy, when she thumped softly onto his face.

Could craft it a bit more, but that'll do. (Edit: tweaked a bit.)

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The teacher was pregnant once again. The child was both her son and her grandson.

That has to be the worst feeling ever. Also, very well written.

 

[casmith07]

After the flailing panic of stepping through a web of that size, big enough to span the entire jungle path, John calmed only when he concluded its maker was not in the portion he had broken. Smiling, he glanced up at the sun shimmering through the canopy, when she landed on his face with a soft thump.

Could craft it a bit more, but that'll do.

I shuddered.

 

[Makonero]

The teacher was pregnant once again. The child was both her son and grandson.

The last sentence could be squickier: "She couldn't wait to give birth to her first grandson."

 

[ebullientprism]

Blood...

And bits of sick.

Blood? Blood. Crimson copper smelling blood, his blood. Blood. Blood. Blood.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The last sentence could be squickier: "She couldn't wait to give birth to her first grandson."

Yeah, that's better.

 

[Twilight Gap]

The large spider was on the bedroom wall. He turned around to pick up something to swat it with, but when he looked again, it was gone.

 

[IISANDERII]

He was hungry. He bought himself a $30 italian meal.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

The worm's tail, twitching in the bitten fruit, was apparent at sight. However the head was more apparent to the tongue.

 

[abstract alien]

He couldn't remember how long it had been since the lights went out.

It was lonely without stars.

The one instance where I just might want to die(if one could ever live through that somehow).

The world's wealthiest man sat in his now fuelless rocket ship, drifting farther and farther from the solar system. He looked at the lamp and wished his third wish hadn't been to live forever.

This one made me think of the Jaunt.

 

[Mix]

It was hard to hear this time of the day.

So many screams of death and ash all around him in that decrepit city.

 

[Aesius]

The boy woke from his nightmare and ran for the comfort of his mother's room. But there was no comfort to be found; only her glowing eyes and wide grin.

 

[Monocle]

She asked, he answered. "I do."

Spoiler

Sorry, married GAF.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

She asked, he answered. "I do."

She asked about watching little rainbow horses on TV, he answered. "I do."

 

[PFD]

She came out of the bathroom.

"I'm pregnant", she said.

The horror

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

99% turn around when they read the phrase, "Don't turn around." The ones that don't regret the decision.

 

[Makonero]

He awoke with a start and saw a pair of big glowing eyes staring at him from just outside his bedroom window. He remembered too late that he had no bedroom window.
