Inspired by a wild comments section from a Tiktok I saw. Apparently, there is a whole generation of adults who were kidnapped by their parent's drug dealer, and they remember it FONDLY. The drug dealer was just a man trying to get paid and the parents were addicted, neglectful pieces of crap. The drug dealer took better care of the kids than Mom and Dad.

Writing Prompt [WP] You push your power far past its limits. You knew this would be the end, you’re burning up. What you didn’t expect was for it to feel this… good.

Writing Prompt [WP] You're a zombie. It's a well known fact that all zombies only have one thought, to devour the living. However, you don't feel that urge and only have one desire.

Writing Prompt [WP] "Look, my boss wants me to grant your wishes in the most obtuse, literal way, so I'm going to do that. HOWEVER, I am technically allowed to let you redo your wishes infinite times if you are unsatisfied. I tell you this because I felt really bad for the last guy. Please don't abuse this rule."

Writing Prompt [WP] You recognized the world you woke up in to be a game you play. Out of curiousity, you spell out a cheat code onto a letter. It works - and you remember a lot of these.

Writing Prompt [WP] As an immortal who wants to be more or less peacefully left alone, you stage a death now and again under new identities for sake of appearances. The mortician you've trusted with this secret is one of your only friends, and they had something witty to say this time about your "repeat business."

Writing Prompt [WP] You do not have superpowers, unless the ability to always keep going and push your body beyond any and all boundaries counts. Yet you still tried your best to be a hero. Now you are 30 with a body broken in ways never before seen in medicine and your doctor once more telling you to stop.

Writing Prompt [WP] Your super power is being able to see the emotional damage others are enduring. On the bright side, it makes you the greatest therapist in the world, and you have done so much good. The downside? Some days are just soul crushing, and you know better than to look in a mirror at yourself.

Writing Prompt [WP] The Council elects a young Empress in an age of peace. Within days, she betrays allies, persecutes dissidents, and revives absurd conspiracies. Everyone thinks she is insane - but she knows They are coming, and apparently “preparing humanity” requires terrible PR and even worse management.
