Random Thing I Thought of During My Walk (Writing Prompt)

"What is death to an immortal but merely a suggestion."

Writing Prompt

"I'm so used to Death's wings being my own that it feels weird not having them on me."

"That's not a good thing though."

"Well. Then you must teach me how to live without death."

"I'm sorry. WHAT!"

Oh shit.

"Uh... Hey honey... Ummmm. How was your day?" I could already tell this conversation wasn't going to end well.

"Oh my day was fine. Up until I hear you saying you CHEATED DEATH AGAIN TODAY." Smoke started to come out of his mouth. Damn. I must've really pissed him off.

"Look, I know this is bad, but I'm-"

"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME HOW IT WENT."

"What."

"You heard me. You know what you're supposed to do the moment you cheat death each week."

"Oh. It wasn't much. Just said that I had a doctor's appointment to discuss about how two guys are supposed to have kids."

"Really."

"Really! It was quite entertaining to see Jerry just give up." Well, guess I'm not forgetting about that part of our marriage agreement again.

Writing Prompt: Dialogue

“Oh, what now? I already died today!”

Parker just shook his head, the despair written on his face. "I hope you know that what you’re attempting is illegal in several countries!”

Kenum continued chuck knives into the bar window, the silver blades sticking into the glass. "Not this one~!” His grin spread wider, watching the glass continue to crack. The dark lighting of the bar made his already dark brown eye even darker. The white eye, almost blind from years of fighting, seemed to take on a grayish hue to it.

Parker just order more drinks, I'm to old for this shit.

Person A: “I hope you know that what you’re attempting is illegal in several countries!”

Person B: “Not this one~!”

Writing Prompt

"I only wanted revenge, not war."

"Then why are you here?"

Me, messing around with giving AI prompts: "Hey, how can I skirt around writing smut without making it look stupid?"

AI: "I'll use the two characters you made up for in the previous prompt: Josh and Tim, and give you an example."

Me: "Didn't you kill off Tim in the previous prompt by having Josh throw him off a cliff?"

AI: "FUCK YOU, THEY'RE GAY!"

B : *contemplating using physical force to get information out of A*

A : *not looking up from whatever their doing* I know what your thinking. And if you try it, your health bar is gonna be so low your going to need more then just 3 strong healing items.

person A: hey would you love me if-

person B: exasperated if u were a worm? yes, you would b the sexiest worm alive.

person A:

person B: looks over at A What?

person A: I was gonna say if I killed all your enemies so that you’d live a life unburdened by the threat of others, but sure being a worm sounds nice:)

*Person A does unhinged shit.*

Person B: "How in the fuck does your brain work?"

Person A: "Against my will."

so who's gonna write this for me?
