I was chilling in the top secret research facility one day.
Then I died because my idiot co-workers caused a gas leak
23:03 UTC
The train car was a little too packed as we were sent to safety.
But the nice German man said that's all over now as we headed for a shower.
22:41 UTC
Grunting with pain, feeling the poison already coursing through my veins, vision hazing, I pleaded with my abductor for the antidote.
"Only when you tell me what you did with her body."

He knows when you are sleeping and he knows when you’re awake.
He already cut the phone line and there really is no escape.

After waking up someplace different every time, I’ve been fighting to stay awake so I can pass my scribbled plea for help to the flight attendant without my captor noticing.
I barely managed to slip it to her without notice as I begin to pass out to the flight attendant now announcing “Trial 15 has failed, transport is awake…”.
22:25 UTC
"You all did a fine job digging," The officer said.
They could see the red star on his cap shimmer in the sunlight.

You can only pick one, choose wisely.
Suddenly, a poll pop-up appeared on my screen, option a was One, and option B was wisely.
21:48 UTC
“Phew, Mister Lincoln, you just saved me from being trampled to death by that horse!”
“Don’t mention it, Mister…Booth, was it?”
21:43 UTC
When I decided to report my co-worker for sliding her hand across our male colleagues' necks as she would walk by them, I believed my HR training speaker when he said I was protected against retaliation.
Now I'm crouched behind my car in the parking garage as she saunters towards me with a sly smile and her fangs bared in anticipation and I get the saying "HR is not your friend".
20:58 UTC
woof woof
said the cat

"Daddy, what are you doing with that knife?" she asked softly and in a calm tone, her innocence painting a deceptive serenity.
As I brought the knife down with full force toward her chest, she smiled sinisterly and said, "I told you that's a bad idea," before telekinetically stopping my hand and forcing the blade slowly into my own chest.
20:24 UTC
I grab a hall pass on my way to the bathroom,
As I finish I walk out and the school looks worn, and run down, how long have i been in there?
20:15 UTC
"Why do your boobs taste like almonds?" asked my girlfriend.
That's when I told her I had bought them in Japan (Thanks HRT)
20:13 UTC

As I watched his face marvel at all the glowing screens coming from the room, he turned to me and asked, "So, you've made the improvements that the board asked for?"
I nodded, with a feeling of slight disgust, and replied, "Yes, we've improved the model to be more efficient at denying claims and added appeal analysis to help further drive profits."
20:03 UTC
The doctor said he had 10 days left to live
Ten days later...HE WAS DEAD!!!

Knowing only the date of my grandfather’s death in a concentration camp, I used the time machine to arrive heavily armed that day, ready to free him.
When I saw him and his friends lined up against a wall by the camp’s liberators I froze and watched him die.
19:53 UTC
"Ohhh Isabeeeeellaaaaaa..." the voice rang out again in the woods and hit my terrified ears as I hovered, hidden behind a tree with my husband.
My mind froze, my hair standing on end as horror iced through my veins when I heard my husband answer from behind me in the same sing-song voice, "We're over heeeeeeeere!"
19:45 UTC
Today I learned that the anaesthetic for a surgical procedure doesn’t render you unconscious, it simply causes you to forget the experience
Unfortunately for me, my eidetic memory makes it impossible for me to forget anything, now every time I close my eyes I can hear the sound of the doctor's saw tearing through my flesh and bone
19:39 UTC
She hated to clean out the gutters.
Especially because whatever was living in there didn't want them cleaned.
19:38 UTC
The Sandman came to me telling me he was going to put me to sleep.
When he pulled out that gun I knew he meant eternal sleep.
19:38 UTC
Everyone was happy that he passed away as the kindest and most saintly person one can be.
Alas, he was an atheist so now his soul is being tortured and burned forever because God is that petty.
19:37 UTC
My wife's killer is roaming around freely even though her own father was the witness.
Dementia is curse truly but not for me.
19:15 UTC
As a last resort in escaping her husband, she knew she’d taken enough pills to kill ten elephants, so how was she awake?
Her husband entered the room, and at the same moment she noticed the Androidollz box, he said, “Now your memory has fully downloaded, we have some unfinished business to attend.”
19:14 UTC
As she cradled her newborn, the doctor’s voice echoed in her mind, 'Congratulations, it’s a perfect specimen.
It wasn’t until she heard the soft whispering from the crib that she realized the baby was already planning its first sacrifice."
18:08 UTC
The girl I'd been seeing found an old book in the attic, which wouldn't open until she accidentally spilt a drop of blood on it.
As she read the first few words aloud, I felt my physical form materialising from the darkness for the first time in over a century.
17:44 UTC
I sat there, staring at my bloodied hands and my father’s lifeless body, trying in vain to remember a time when I could love and trust him.
As I peered up at the clock on the wall of the control room, ticking down from 10 to 9 seconds, I knew I only had a moment to gather myself before it all reset and I’d have to fight him off, yet again.
17:29 UTC

However, it was joined with a smiling shadow figure; the same one from my dream.
