Tell Me Again…How the Hell Did I Die? Be Part of Video Game History!
ATLUS and Old School Games announce the “Ways to Die” Contest for God Mode.
For
the first time in the history of 4-Person co-op XBLA, PSN and PC shooters (we
think) comes an all-new and exciting contest.
WHAT IS IT?
When you play God Mode, you are already dead. We want you to tell us how your character met his fate. In other words what act of stupidity or simple bad luck sent you on your journey to the Maze of Hades? Why you ask? What is the grand prize? Well, it’s legendary!
· Submissions that make us laugh or cringe more than the others will get selected and recorded by our hilariously annoying Spirit Guide for inclusion in the game. We aren’t limiting the number of entries that get in. If it’s good, you might just hear it in the game.
· You win, and you also get a game credit in the “Special Thanks” category.
RULES
What are the rules you ask? Well, fortunately God Mode is an M-rated game so we have some leeway with submission content, but we ask you to please adhere to the following rules when submitting entries:
· No mentions of brand names (if it has a TM or © or ®, that’s a good hint that it can’t be mentioned). You might hate that fast food chain down the road, but if someone died eating its horsemeat burger, we just can’t include the name of the establishment in the voiceover.
· No mentioning of real-life individuals. Your neighbor might have the world’s worst BO, maybe even bad enough to cause a death, but don’t mention him/her by name or we need to exclude your submission.
· Please refrain from using profanity in the submission. It might be a funny line to us, but unfortunately we won't be able to put it in the game.
· The phrase should be about 25-30 seconds long that should naturally break down into 6-8 sentences with pauses. (Read your text out loud with a stopwatch!) Here is an example:
· Include your real name in the submission as well as an email where we can contact you if you win.
LEGAL BLAH BLAH
Oh, and there is likely going to be some legal gobbledygook on this somewhere on this site, but we just to need to make the lawyers happy here – if you submit it, we have the right to use or modify it as we see fit. Sorry for stating the obvious.
SUBMISSION
Submit your entries HERE, in the comments section below. The deadline for submissions is 11:59 pm PT on January 11, 2013.

sitting in the office at 2 am on a Saturday crunching to finish that stupid
video game that you think will change the world!
You look at
your to-do list and then the schedule. Back and forth between the to-do list
and schedule. Suddenly something misfires in your brain.
Your eye
begins to twitch, teeth begin to grind, and bowels violently evacuate.
A stroke at
age 29 – such a shame. You’ve wasted your life making video games!”

Good
luck and have fun!

ReplyDeleteTechnology has always been my weakness. I never had the best, but never worst. I always had a feeling something bad would come of it.
DeleteI just never saw it play out this way, in all my gaming and tech savvy days. I never expected to be killed by rogue machinery.
How? The beeping..the blinking..the horror. A sensory overload caused a frequency shut down in my brain that led to full evisceration followed by paralysis and ultimately death as my organs began rejecting signals and imploding. Needless to say it was a bloody, gory mess.

Baseball player extraordinaire, you were brought up by the best.
DeleteYou could catch and throw like a pro. You could hit any pitch out of the park.
The big game. Fans cheers. The ball curves left.
Today we find out that you know how to swing, but not how to duck.
A baseball at 90 miles an hour to the face and you're out.

Horror movie obsessed. You had dreams of acting or directing like one of your idols, but no.. It's came to this.
ReplyDeleteRetail. It's a special kind of hell that no one deserves to live through. Instead of making movies, I'm selling them.
As i steal a peice of pick'n'mix from the stand, i panic.. Chocolate peanut. My one true foe.

The bright lights. The athleticism. The spray tans. I always wanted to be a professional wrestler.
ReplyDeleteI trained for years with my best friend. Getting hit in the head with a chair was my specialty. It paid off in dividends, too.
After three long years, I was the champion in the local federation in our town. We were having a show in my backyard, and I was defending my title belt in a exploding barbed-wire death match. I climbed on top of my grandma's house and dove at my opponent, landing head first through a table and instantly breaking my neck.
Pro wrestling is real, folks.

Sealed away in your room playing video games non-stop, the only light a small slot carved in an exterior wall for pizza delivery men to provide you sustenance.
ReplyDeleteAfter years you balloon to 700 pounds and your computer chair disappears into your body and you now travel by the wheels protruding from your backside.
Then one your favorite game studio is closed. With resignation you lift up your legs and let your body drive down on your computer chair's base, disemboweling you in glorious fashion.
Sitting on a park bench, enjoying a nice sandwich you made this morning for lunch.
ReplyDeleteFinishing it off, you wipe the crumbs from your mouth and get up, preparing to get back to your daily grind.
As you get up, you sadly trip over your frequently untied shoelaces, headfirst right into the bike path.
Slightly disconcerted, you look up, and notice a biker speeding your way, madly ringing his bell and trying to brake.
As it crashes into your head and you black out, your last thought is 'those damn bike bells...'.

Incredible drunken stupidity. You went to a local annual festival and you just had to get hammered at the beer garden.
ReplyDeleteIn your drunken stupor, you decided that you wanted to make you voice sound really squeaky and high pitched.
Rather that grabbing one of the small balloons a clown was hand out to children you thought you'd go into one of the giant parade balloons. Don't worry you made sure to close the opening so the helium wouldn't escape.
You suffocated, way to go genius. The rest of the festival was canceled and you made children cry.
Tired from your day to day life as a salesman, a proactive amount of exhaustion overwhelms your body and mind. Giving out lame speeches of selling lame automatic cookie cutters.
ReplyDeleteWho needs those anyway? Suddenly during a sharp pain is felt on your forehead as red starts to fill the room; your cutter is gone and your vision blurs as the audience fades away.
Boom. Head shot.

DeleteIt's all you can eat burrito night at the taco shack down the street. You show up a bit early to claim a prime seat at the booth in the corner, right next to the kitchen door. Your 36 burritos are served up piping hot.
ReplyDeleteA freak lightning storm knocks out the storm, no matter. The waiter lights a few candles around the place, and you keep shoveling in the beany bundles of delight. Wait, what's this pressure? Your guts start to churn and balloon, and you can't hold it in any longer.
After weeks of investigation, the bomb squad rules that the city block was leveled in a freak gas main explosion. Fortunately, no one will ever realize that you rode the biggest fart of your life straight to hell.
When the Gods send a chosen warrior to battle, witnessing your own slow decapitation leaves a toll.
ReplyDeleteThe messenger god made me fly across the battlefield...into the point of a Trojan's spear.
Aphrodite's scorn hath no fury, for she aided my rival and slain me from my lover.
I must compliment Artemis' aim. Who'd have thought I would be shot in the neck for insulting her virtu?

You’ve been fired. As you wait for the bus home so you can explain to your lovely wife how it was the secretary who came onto you first, an ant scurries across your shoe. Like a predator, you stalk it onto the asphalt, ready to stomp out its life!
ReplyDeleteSQUISH!
You manage to kill that ant and give the front of a semi a beautiful red paint job.
Oh well, at least now you won’t have to talk to your wife.

You've been playing video games all your life. The challenge of the leaderboard is nothing to you, but this...this is something else.
ReplyDeleteSitting at the restaurant, waiting for her, the blonde bombshell you met over the internet. Two hours later, she never showed. Oh, you poor sap, you should have known better.
You decided to head home. Waddling out of the restaurant, down the street, almost back to your apartment when it happens. You instantly regret all those years of greasy fast food and soft drinks but it's too late now; you clutch at your chest and fall to the sidewalk as your heart gives in and you wonder...
Would things have changed had you instead ordered that diet cola?

It should’ve been a sick day, but you only had three left for the whole year. The machinery at the cannery had been on the fritz for some time, but the inspectors had only come a week ago, and it’d all been approved.
ReplyDeleteAlways the careful one, you made sure to take medication that didn’t interfere with your reflexes, and on the floor, the other guys could barely tell the difference. What you didn’t count on, was for Peterson to have a seizure right next to you.
You tried to pry him out of the machinery -- and on any other day, it would have been fine - your reflexes were great, it was your strength that was diminished. You pulled him out at the last minute, but your chest was industrially perforated in that same instant.
You bled out, all over the freshly insured machinery -- and now there’s the possibility that some kid in another state will find a piece of your lung in his spaghetti sauce. Dead at 21: You're the secret ingredient.

Question! How many submissions are allowed?
ReplyDeleteThe joy! You just won the big jackpot! The TV's and your ticket's numbers are the same...
ReplyDelete"Screw you guys I'm rich!" you shout to the crowd in that sports bar in which you just changed the TV's channel.
There you are with your winning lottery ticket giving the finger to everybody.
Then you realize that you are surrounded by members of that famous bikers gang...

You are a car fanatic, always wanting something better. However you are stuck with a crummy old pick up truck.
ReplyDeleteWith no real income to support your obsession of cars you were always looked down upon.
As you drove home you see three nice cars that were a little to close to you. Good thing your brakes-oh wait...they stopped working.
At your last moments you thought, "Those rich people and their fancy cars."

You suck as a father, you know that? It's Christmas Eve, and you didn't get your five year old son a Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteSo being the man you are, you go to the bad part of downtown and try to get a toy for him. You see a homeless man with a toy on a street corner, so you try to buy it from him.
The man doesn't want to let go of his toy, so he tries to fight you by biting you. After he bt you though, he liked the taste of flesh and decided to eat all of you on there on the corner.
Congrats father of the year. You're dead, your son doesn't have a present, and you gave a homeless man indigestion.

Vigorously working at your job. Awaiting the time to change so you can go home. As the day has been nothing but down.
ReplyDeleteYou work your fingers down to the bone. Scrapes and boozes cover your hands. Constantly agonizing, you're finally free from the chains of manual labor.
Crossing the street to get to your vehicle you escape from a car that almost near miss hit you, surely things are looking up.
Home at last, you lock your car door and head to your house. You find your keys missing and your car keys are locked inside the car. You die of hypothermia sleeping outside.

You were a music lover. You've listened to most every song from most every genre of your age. A new band is playing at a park, and you liked the lead singer. You set out for the park on foot one fateful night.
ReplyDeleteFate had other ideas in mind for you. A car came at you to end your journey for music and romance. In a brief moment, metal collided with flesh to end the music playing in your ears, your heart, and your soul.
Well, time to take up another instrument!

Doomed to cashier at the local fast food eatery. No one cares that you dropped out of college for lack of the money.
ReplyDeleteTo them you're just some schmuck who ruins all the orders. Little do they know, you're just the guy who takes the money.
Day after day you take the brunt of the abuse: Credit card machine broken, puke in the bathrooms, punk kids in the lobby.
It was only a matter of time before you took up bomb-making as a hobby.
An allergy to tomatoes should've been the least of their worries...

You wake up in the middle of a full moon as you hear a crashing during the darkest hour.
ReplyDeleteQuickly, you grab the gun lying underneath your pillow and rush into the cold, rainy night only to find a distorted, shadowy figure.
Pointing the gun at your own skull, you mutter the word "Persona".
BANG. You died. Why did you even shoot yourself in the first place? No wonder why your arcana was the fool.

You wanted to go out in a spectacular blaze of glory. You scouted the highest cliffside, boarded your motorcycle, and strapped a fearsome lion into the sidecar.
ReplyDeleteDual-wielding double-neck guitars, you gunned it over the edge of the cliff. Guitars raised high overhead, a lightning bolt struck a perfect riff--the air was ablaze with rock!
And you were turned to ash.
The lion's parachute deployed, and it landed safely in the jungle below.

One night you find a peculiar image that strikes your fancy, unlike anything you have ever encountered on the internet.
ReplyDeleteBlinds closed, lights dimmed, you pour through image boards to satisfy your new addiction as your master hand oscillates your inner being.
Your soul reached its climax as your heart faints from the intense meditation.
You may have went out young, but you went out as a god.

ReplyDeleteAnd so I walked through the cemetary on a cold dark night, waiting for something to go horribly right. I peered through the darkness to see my contact with briefcase and shovel in hand. Patting down some dirt he says to me, after I fill his briefcase with money, "First one's in the ground, second will be buried next to him". He points to an open coffin with a body filling half of it. I move away and walk into the coffin and he closes it and finishs his job.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Slye

for the last sentence I mean "I move away and slip into the coffin and he closes it and finishes his job, not caring at all of my screams".
DeleteI died of heart disease. And there's nothing funny about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, it happened at a circus though...so that's kinda funny. Man those clowns just don't know proper CPR. Every time they tried to give me mouth to mouth, after I collapsed, they just kept pulling handkerchiefs out of my mouth. What the shit, man? Call an ambulance...
A drab day, as it has always been. You get up and go to work. You press some stamps, you lick an envelope. You go home. Day after day of the same routine, some would say, would turn you insane.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you stamp and sign a few redundant documents, and stare blankly out the window. A life of just....this? Is this all that the gods could have made of you? Were you that pointless of an existence, that all you could possibly do was absent-mindedly stab pieces of paper with rubber and ink?
Suddenly, you feel a wave of ambition.
"NO!" you scream, startling many of the other zombies around you. You make for the door. "My life doesn't have to be like this!" you shout as you stumble onto the street. People stare and you ignore them. "I'm going to make my life meaningful for once! I'm going to actually BE somebody!!"
Still, people stand and stare, as if trapped in time.. You raise your head and arms toward the sky and drop to your knees. "I don't know if you're real or not, but mark my words! I WILL SURVI-" CRUNCH!!
And the bus skidded to a stop.
Poor bastard never saw it coming.

Stepping forth from your humble abode, you look up to the sun and smile. "What a beautiful day," you state so proudly, for it was perfect for this special occasion.
ReplyDeleteYou see, you're to be wed today, with the spouse of your dreams. Clad in a freshly cleaned suit, dressed to impress, you begin your walk to the chapel right down the road.
A car drives by, splashing mud towards you, but a slick maneuver saves your style. A cake falls from a window, frosting an inch from your face, but still your suit remains pristine.
With a sigh and a chuckle, you wipe your brow, commenting "Wooh, that was close!" As you continue your stride, with your head held high, your foot is misplaced, trying to find footing where none can be found.
Unfortunately, you stepped into the sewage, suit and you drowned by the muck.

I always found myself wondering: why did the chicken cross the road? What drove him to do so?
ReplyDeleteSo one day, I decided to find an answer to this age-old question, and bought a chicken.
I then laid it beside a road, and followed it.
Only thing is, I never saw the truck heading my way.
My only regret is that I never knew why my chicken did cross the road.

One night you're approached by a tall man in a trench-coat followed by a little monkey.
ReplyDelete"If you give me five dollars," the tall man says, "I'll give the monkey a little red wrench and he'll take out your kneecaps and bash in your brains."
Now maybe somewhere in your head you know this is a bad idea but you're just too drunk right now to think anything other than "I gotta see this."

Working at the counter, you were, when your time came to an end. Within a shop that your family owned, with neighbors kind and old.
ReplyDeleteThe place was empty, as quiet as a peaceful night. Dozing off you were, when a man came up to the counter, glimmering metal in his hand.
Snapping from your daze, your eyes met his, as he rose his pistol to your brow. His young lips sneered as he commanded, "give me everything you got".
You smirked. You grinned. You knew the people from here. You said "Put down the gun kid. Besides, you don't have the gall to shoot."
He did.

((Well. This is one way to spend a depressing night.))
“There was a thing in the corner, it was dark but you could see it there. Something twisted and awful, it filled you with unnatural dread.
ReplyDeleteA voice told you not to worry, there was no need for alarm. It was only watching, all the rumors said.
Comforted by these words, unconcerned with where they came from, you drift again to sleep.
It wasn't only watching."
Grinning with delight, your fingers smashed down as you engaged in deadly combat. Wrestling with your foe, you took him down with practiced ease, a loud exclamation of victory escaping you when a voice said 'WINNER'.
ReplyDeleteLeaning back, you took tally of the event. Victory two-hundred sixty nine that day, a day dedicated to a marathon of your favorite game. It was a great way to spend time, the only way to spend time, when you just wanted to take out your stress.
A hand reaching for a nearby bag of cheese puffs, your mouth opened wide as you squeezed down on the crinkling container. With a loud pop it exploded, the misty cheese of a year-old package bursting out, taking over the air.
You gasped in shock, breathing in the foul cheese-saturated air. Collapsing from your chair, you expired swiftly, suffocating from the orange death.

Walking home, you saw a black cat. While avoiding it, you stepped under a ladder into a mirror, smashing it instantly.
ReplyDeleteYou grew fearful of the incoming bad luck, but made it home with nothing out of the ordinary.
At this point, you were incredibly paranoid and locked yourself in the basement, refusing to move until the bad luck occurred.
It truly is a pity that no one realized you were there, as you didn't have food but were too scared to get some.

A trickle of sweat made its way down your neck as you saw it speeding right towards you. A mis-throw by the opposing quarter-back gave your opportunity to show the team what you could really do. What you were born to do.
ReplyDeleteSpeeding and zipping up the field, you dodged man after man. Ten yards. Twenty. Thirty. First down. A cheer from the crowd told you just how amazing you were.
Just when it couldn't get any better, it didn't. A hunk of muscle tackled you from the side. Knocking you to the ground, as you struggled to maintain a grip on the pigskin. Then, another tackled him to the ground. Then one tackled him. And another. And another. And another.
You didn't make it out of the pile.

Sure he was someone else's guy, but you didn't care. Rich, handsome and smart enough to leave his wife, your future was secure. After he got back from his lunch, you could start living the good life.

ReplyDeleteYou were determined to win that game of poker against your rival; they were always better than you at everything else, and you were determined to win. You were almost out of money, and had lost almost every single round.
ReplyDeleteNow you've bet the last of your chips, all or nothing. You broke out in a cold sweat, held your breath, and passed out, right there, hitting your head on the table.
It seems that you had forgotten to take a break to grab a drink, and passed out from thirst, receiving a fatal concussion when your head hit the solid poker table, and you never woke up.
My poor unfortunate character had a very sad humiliating death. He was always a guy who kept his head down. One day he heard that his favorite rock band would be in town he decided to give life a go and go out for once.
ReplyDeleteHe picks up his tickets and he goes there his life fell into place magically, while waiting in outdoor concert he made friends and maybe even a girlfriend(time didn't reveal if it would have gone all the way sadly for him).
As soon as the music started poor Jimmy started getting pushed around in the mosh pit, bouncing off from one guy to another. Until he eventually he came into a full forced head swing from a metal head(even if it was just skull it might as well been real metal). Smashing his head killing him instantly as he was always a runt, here's the sad part: the friends he made totally forgot about him and went home.
Guarding King's Palace is not an easy thing to do. You wake up at dawn and there's no stopping until mid-day. At least you've got to cool down a bit.
ReplyDeleteBut not today. As you were looking at the sky, a figure landed over you and handed your throat with a blade. As your consciousness fades out, your eyes were closed without your consent and you hear the last words you'll ever hear.
Requiescat in pace.

This was it, the end, YOUR end. With the starry sky stretched out before you, you take one last look at the world. The world had done nothing wrong. 'Twas only you, and your own lack of worth.
ReplyDeleteDespite being nearly 50 stories up, you don't look down. Instead, you look up. Up towards the heavens, towards the freedom that is the sky.
You turn around, and take one last deep breath and then... you fall. The cool night air rushes your body until it's over. Your last thought was: "I'm free"

It was suppose to be a prop, I borrowed the custom gun from a friend it was suppose to complete my cosplay outfit. I was hot to trot.
ReplyDeleteThe school girl outfit, the headsets and the gun.
Once on stage, the cheers were wild. I took the stance and a grin crossed my face as I pulled the trigger.
Here I thought I would be the Queen of the convention, instead I was the best act put on and the worst events to happen all at once.

You're walking back to your new apartment from the Bistro at the corner of your block.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly you're ripped from the ground with such force you blackout briefly and worse, you realize your sandwich is now strewn all over the pavement.
You call for the police but you hear a faint cry coming from the now blazing building. You drop your phone and rush in.
You find the source of the cry, a little girl under the stairwell. You lift the burning debris blocking your path to her, pick her up, and rush out of the building.
"Why'd you do that? Your hands are all burned!" You think, just as a second explosion rips through the air behind you. "That's why..." you realize as your body absorbs the heat and concussive shock, saving the child.

After weeks of suspecting your toaster was masterminding a plot against you, you finally came to the resolve that it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteYou know this because you took it apart twice, interrogated it 3 times in which it confessed nothing, nothing at all! Threats of being dumped in a unpleasant bathtub full of ice cold water yielded the same.
You finish the final disassembly with relief, for you now can move on to the true culprit the blender. Something made you glance upward and to your horror and late timing, you notice the toaster is somehow plugged in as the electricity begins its arcs up the screwdriver.
What a fool you were! It was the toaster all along and as you fall to the ground without a beat of life left you swear you hear it laugh! Its evil laugh.

I sat and I sat and I sat some more.
ReplyDeleteI ate junk, and watched TV, and played some video games, and logged onto the internet. And I sat.
For years, I repeated this behavior. It was easy. I was lazy. I had no friends. My parents were dead. I'd inherited their estate. So I sat.
Then one day, I met a girl through a dating website. I was enamored. I showered, and I worked out, and I ate healthy. Then I sat, and I waited for her to reply. "Would you like to meet?" "Where?" "Do you want to see a movie?" "When?"
Eventually, we went on a date and despite how nervous and awkward I felt, she put me at ease; somehow we hit it off. Then we went back to my place and we sat.
Later that night, she said she enjoyed herself but had to go. Once she was gone I noticed she'd left her coat. I took it. I stood up. I ran.
As I neared my apartment steps outside the door, I tripped on something furry and toppled down the entire set of stairs to my demise. My female friend watched in horror. And I died.
What I had tripped over was a sitting cat. It never even attempted moved. Even after they carted me off, it sat.
Wandering YOLO St. looking for a fine piece of YOLO. Different day, same routine. Staring at the YOLO'd bodies you pass by as you wonder exactly when it was you lost it. Lost the YOLO. It was probably that run-in with the beast. That striped rodent YOLO'ing on the wire, just beyond reach. "No matter, it doesn't matter." That's what you whisper to yourself as you YOLO into the hitherto glazed doughnut. As the world fades to white you notice that the candle in the corner of the room resembles your unborn YOLO. That was the end of your life, the end of your YOLO. Exactly they way the elder donkey described.
ReplyDelete"Benny, put the peeler down"
ReplyDeleteYour parents always said Benny was dangerous to hang around, but what did they know? They were old and smelly.
Looking back, that was probably better than the alternative. You know. Dead and smelly.
"But I must have fries with that! I MUST HAVE FRIES!"
Benny was a funny guy when he was on his meds, but today, you told him to forget it. Well, the two extra minutes you saved not going back were surely worth being carefully peeled, sliced, and fried to perfection.

What a shame you never even got a chance to prove them right or wrong. Snuffed out even before you are born.
ReplyDeleteThe GODS have spoken though. They had thier vote and put out thier decree. Cast it to your Maze they said.

The Panty Raid. A tradition at the University for generations. What could go wrong? Just a few pairs, and you were a shoo in for the frat.
ReplyDeleteBust into the girls' dorm, climb in through a window, and loot the chest of drawers for the booty. That was the plan.
But wasps... you didn't plan for wasps. Not the nest outside her window, or the one who bravely followed you through it.

I was walking down the street, hungover and miserable on a Sunday morning. Church bells were ringing, children were playing, and my head was pounding. I was in the dangerous self destructive frame of mind and just wished the sun would explode, so that I could spend the next 8 minutes laughing before the planet was burnt to a crisp.
ReplyDeleteMorning service had just finished and even more giggling cheering children came pouring out of the decorative wood doors to the chapel, one especially was chasing a ball that began bouncing towards the road. The damned ball rushed right passed me and the kid right behind. As the old trope goes a speeding car, in a hurry to get to lunch was on its way to make this kiddo meet his maker. I cursed and dove to get the kid out of the way and ended up getting splattered across his windshield, the kid cried for nearly an hour over the scraped knee he received from me shoving him the hell out of the way. I hate Sundays.

"What's the best way to relieve stress?", you thought to yourself. "A trip to the beach, of course!", your brain answered in reply.
ReplyDeleteLittle did you know that while your were dozing off to the sound of the surf, some rowdy young people were smashing watermelons nearby. A few missteps here, some bad instructions there, and BAM! A blindfolded girl armed with a wooden mallet mistook your head for a juicy melon.
Needless to say, it didn't taste very good.

You're sitting on your bed, listening to one of your favorite songs. It's getting late, but you can't take your headphones off until the song stops. Before the end came, you fell asleep.

Considering how much you loved that song, you should have known it was on repeat.

It was a nice Spring day. Your mother said, "With it or on it!" You then woke up, reminded by the fact that there were countless enemies on the horizon. You have fought the enemy off two days already.
ReplyDeleteThey had sent out their elite infantry. Shot arrows that blocked the sun. Your men appeared unscathed.
Suddenly, they were attacking from behind, surrounding you and your men between steep terrain on your left and an ocean to the right.
You died a hero; protecting your dead king from the hands of the enemy.

ReplyDeleteAs you load your groceries into the car, an uneasy guilt consumes your thoughts over that piece of candy you sampled without paying for.
You finish loading the car and begin to head home only to encounter a torrent of wind and rain in the midst of rush hour traffic.
You watch in abject terror as the road seems to be filled with nothing but reckless, adolescents whose characteristic awkwardness seems to transcend their driving styles in an attempt to personify their cars as children playing slip-n-slide on a hot, summer's day.
"Dear God!" you mutter to yourself, and in a stroke of deus ex machina, you just so happen to pass by a Catholic church offering a special on buy one, get one confessions!
Crossing over three lanes, you slam on the brakes and your car swerves and screeches neatly into a parking spot. (Whew! All those stunt racing lessons paid off!)
Soaking wet, you trudge up to the building and pull hard on the heavy, wooden doors.
BAM! The door smashes into your head and a thudding pain is all you feel as the darkness takes over your vision.
Stepping forward, you ignore the pain and feel your way into the confession booth. You suppose the church must not make much in donations if they can't afford to turn on a few lights! You finally feel a velvet curtain attached to a small, wooden enclosure and pull the cord to enter.
You sit down on the cold, tiled bench.
A deep and gentle voice reach your ears,
"When you are ready, you may begin."
You hesitate. You begin your tale and after three hours of recounting the harrowing experience of stealing a piece of caramel from the grocery store, the priest responds,
"My child, do as I ask and sincerely listen. As an Act of Contrition, I ask that we switch places and I will have you listen to my sins so that you may know forgiveness."
You nod and let out a great exhalation. As you pull the cord to exit, you realize that this is a different rope. You hear a flushing sound and water pushes you down from above and you swirl into a filthy abyss.
It's too late. You cannot hear the rasping breath:
"I...must confess...I was once the greatest plumber serial killer that ever was..."

ReplyDeleteIt was a typical day in my jail cell. I snapped up the scraps they gave me, and I exercised on the treadmill for an hour. After I woke up from a fantastic nap, I peaked out from under my newspaper bed to see that my captors left the door open. I frantically bounded out of there, blindly rushing towards any shadowy crevice I see. And then I heard the pounding of footsteps approaching. I make it to a rooftop, but it's too late.

I was out jogging and I saw Johhny's dog running towards me. I hoped his chains were strong enough to hold him.
ReplyDeleteTurns out he wasnt wearing any chain at all.
I was rushed to the nearest medical facility and got my rabies shot. The "doctors" tried to pull out the syringe and it broke of with the needle still in my skin.
So they used a scalpel and surgically removed it. Another problem arose as the scalpel was rusty. While the doctors search frantically for another shot that'll probably break again, I realized something.
It was all in my head and I was dead five minutes ago. Johnny's dog left me alone and bleeding on the sidewalk.

So there I was, on my first date (ever mind you) with an extremely cute girl. I was nervous as can be, but I still aimed to impress her.
ReplyDeleteI made the mistake of taking her out to that new Indian restaurant downtown. Being the uneducated fool that I was, I ordered the Phall Curry.
Second bite, my mouth was burning, but that wasn't the only thing on fire. By eating this, I had extreme... well, Gas. I didn't want to frighten her or gross her out, so I held in.
When we finished eating, I was at my limits though. I needed to let the gas out, but I couldn't. Big mistake, as all of the gas built up caused my midsection to blow out, emptying my guts all over the place. It left me as an empty shell.
To make matters worse, the cute girl ended up with the EMT that put me in the body bag.

A mad dog bites you on on the sidewalk from the way to work.
ReplyDeleteThough at first it seemed like you wouldn't get rabies weeks after your hands start to tremble.
With the help of the neighbors your poor family locks you in the cellar for fear of your bite.
Two days pass shouting like a maniac, fire flashing in your eyes, until the cellar is silent again.
They find you huddled against the door with a wretched look on your face that most surely came from hell.
They had made it seem so easy. Just point it at your head, pull the trigger, and the rest takes care of itself.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, it didn't have the effect you expected, did it? It didn't summon a magical being from your mind or anything like that, huh?
All it left you with was a newspaper headline of a video-game related accidental suicide.

Philon lived (briefly) during the time of the original Greeks (on Greece). As the name suggests, he was a bit of a Casanova, and the rumors about him had women all clamoring for a “sample”. In fact, they said Aphrodite herself had gotten a piece and that he was savor…. Err.. FAV-ored by the gods!
ReplyDeleteOne (fateful) day, he caught the attention of a lovely full and voluptuous red-haired woman named Astarte. Fiery and lustful herself it didn’t take long before they were in her bedchambers on a daily basis making all fantastic (and new!) kinds of whoopie.
Not too long after the two had met, Kybele, Astarte’s daughter, came back from a long trip visiting extended family and walked in on Philon and Astarte in the course of one of their (more experimental) sessions. She realized who her mother was “riding” and knew all of the rumors. Of course, in old Greek fashion, she stripped buck and jumped right on Philon along with her mother, not wanting to miss out on the chance.
High Five for Philon (and the girls!) right!? Well… Kybele was also Red-Headed (BONUS), and also voluptuous and curvy (BONUS), but also one of the current chosen lovers of Dionysus (POOP!!!), God of the Vine (COOL)… And wine (YAY!)… And ecstasy (SUPER YAY!)… And serpents (SUPER POOP!!!).
See… Dionysus was a “bit” possessive and might’ve had a little of the jealous streak. He just happened to be looking for his sweet, red-headed plaything at the time, and spied the three nude bodies in carnal knowledge through a crack in the chamber door. In his rage, he called up a basilisk serpent and sent it into the bedchamber, POOF, just like that.
As soon as the thing entered the room it gazed upon the three sweaty, panting bodies. Being in the position they were in, only the two lovely ladies turned and saw the thing, which instantly turned them to stone. Philon (fortunately?) being underneath the two girls was simultaneously crushed and suffocated by the dual gorgeous, voluptuous, au naturel stone statues.
Maybe he wasn’t as savor-.. Err.. Favored as everyone thought… Or was he? I can’t say that I wouldn’t mind going like that.

I always wanted to be a swordsman. But since it is not quite possible these days, I directed my dream to be a RP freak. Good thing is you can carry some medieval gear with you on play sessions.
ReplyDeleteI bought myself some gear from a web site that sells such things. So here I was, a full plated hulk with a large sword. Just like I ever dreamed off. It was not my first match nor be the last..
Bell ringed and battle has begun. We exchanged greets from out of respect and took our stances. Since I had a weighing sword, I decided to try a low swing from ground. My foe panicked against my war cry and hurl his sword to me.
But hey, they never told me that, they were using actual swords, or maybe even other people did not know that one is not the ones we use. As I managed to crush him to the ground with mine, his pierced my guts through my so fancy non dependable armor.
As I fall, the satisfaction inside of me grew larger. I always wanted to experience something like this, but not a short term.

Fourteen chihuahuas. It was just too many. As fifty-six stumpy legs pulled me forward, I could feel control slipping away. Of them, of my life, of everything. Stopping to calm my nerves with a snack, I began to choke on a fistful of expired hummus. It was my first day as an assistant dog walker and they could smell my fear. That was all it took.

ReplyDeleteThe dumpster slides forward, slamming into a fence at the end of the alley, knocking over a paint can sitting on it. The paint can fell against a ladder, knocking it into a second story windowsill and breaking the plant pots.

Too bad that the driver in the car ahead forgot what common sense was. Too bad that your reflexes are hindered by the tiredness you feel from a hard day of work.
When the curve approaches and the bright flash of headlights blind you, the last image you see is the frantic look of the driver who wrecks into your car.

I was walking over to my mailbox with everything seeming perfectly fine; that is until a pack of hyenas escaped a neighboring zoo. They ran directly at me! They then pounced onto me and ripped my arms out and ran away. 4.7 seconds later, an old lady drove straight at me. I closed my eyes, hoping that my death will be sudden, but instead she drove over my legs and crushed them to pieces. I was just laying there crying, until a man who was working on GodMode came by and said to me, "This isn't funny..." I later died from the shame... with a random poodle urinating on my corpse.

And i call my self not a normal person or els i wouldnt played Dark Souls and after a while playing that game u get in a state of pleace while dying all the time maybe even laughing while u die all the time Because sometimes it is not funny anymore how many times i did die or is it i dont know anymore maybe i get insane and cant think normal anymore and is this creazy game getting to me and putting me in a negative spiral while playing in those Dark Gothic castles and is it maybe time to play a new game called God Mode
God mode now i think about it maybe they give u the idee u have God mode and then suddenly u encounter a laugheble enemy and WHAM u DIE thinking w.t.f. happend to me
and after trying again with some fear again WHAM Splet DEAD
what is this some new way of torture us no not again i did Die to many times .
Brutal it may be; tasteless it may be... anything is better than the way I died.
ReplyDeleteMy head cracked open, bleeding out into the running sink; my electronic toothbrush ground through the roof of my mouth.
A brush of misfortune; the impossible possibility such a device could malfunction.
The gears of my toothbrush cranked apart the plastic, tearing into my tongue, trailing to my throat and ending with ripping through the soft spot on the roof of my mouth.
I bled out, thanks to my mutilated mouth and the canyon carved between the frontal and parietal bones; I died from my simple, morning routine.
It's not like I wanted to die like this...
ReplyDeleteThen again, who actually plans how how they want to die?
Knee-deep water with blood billowing out behind in dark red clouds, following the down-current.
A single, severed Achilles tendon. Calcaneal tendon. Tendo calcaneus.
Such brutality; such disgrace. Nobody would ask to die this way. Craving for the sweet kiss of death, wading in the below-freezing river. What will kill you first? Hypothermia, backed by the deathly-cold water, after lying tied up for two hours in the winter air, waiting for your heel to be sliced open?
No, the blood would drain from your body before the grace of the harsh environment froze your body.
I thought I was safe- hidden away from the black suits and mindless drones. It would seem no matter how hard tried to avoided 'em, their robotic eyes were still out to get me.
ReplyDeleteI knew too much! Over the years I had tried to wake others up.. but they finally got to me. After years of poisoning my water, pumping chemicals into the air I breathe, infecting my body with nanotechnology... my body would live no more.
I tried to stop them, I tried to warn people. But the damage could not be undone. I felt them crawling under my skin, floating in the air around me.
My brain and heart were their targets, a slow death at the young age of 31 for knowing too much... but it's clear my fight still lives on.

To die is to sleep, and to sleep I will always dream.
ReplyDeleteIt was not unusual to say that men die. At the top of the tower, slain by who those I tried to save, a tear fell from me.
They wished only to break the cycle, to stop the inevitable. Never before had I met such a power evoked from but mere teenage children. Their unified strength brought forth their fearless leader, who ended it all, and sealed me away. Alone,.. forever.
The Mr. would always leave the Mrs. alone in the tower while he went away to work. I, who was in Love with his Mrs. would always find myself sneaking in while he was away and keep her "company" and escape through the window,jumping on my horse, and disappearing into the night, before the Mr. came back. Aware of his Mrs. Nightly activities he would stow her higher in the tower, and i would triumph each time, visiting and escaping successfully. He couldnt stow her away any higher at this point, she was already at the top of the tower high into the sky. That day, the Mr. came back especially early, and like always, i jumped out the window, but i'll never see the Mrs. again, My horse didnt wait for me that day.

It was a quick decision being a drug Kingpin, always making a deal and always on the edge of death.
ReplyDeleteOn the corner of a busy intersection the earth began to crack, a small child dropped down only clinging to the edge.
As I looked at the helpless child I was distracted by the well endowed woman who must have spilled her whip cream coffee on her chest as the earthquake hit. Shaking the thought of helping that poor but very very sweet looking coffee stained woman I reached for the child only to have my wallet fall deep into the dark crevice! In the thought of losing my money unknowingly I grabbed the child and flung her high into the air saving her as I wanted her out of my way while diving into the dark depths to save my true love, my money! I just didn't realize it was a very very very deep hole until I hit the bottom!
Saving the child got me a second chance to fight my way out of hell even though the child was just in my way. I guess a good dead never goes un noticed?
I am a God! I am Feared and I am Loved! I have fought and triumphed in 100's of battles and wars raising my sword for all to see! I have Killed and Saved Kings! I am indestructible! That is until I ate a peanut? mama never told me I was allergenic to peanuts!

ReplyDeleteYou two had meals, dates and in the end a nice wedding cake.
What a shame! they say you would give your life for your true love, she took only your skin, she drank your blood and even wore your hair like a wig.
Funny thing? the only part she left untouched was your heart. Kinky!

DeleteThe funny thing about death is that you don't often see it coming. This was especially the case for my untimely death. You see, I was the guy in the Mouse suit at the local theme park. But one day, one very hot day in southern California I passed out while wearing the suit. Those things don't have air conditioning you know.
ReplyDeleteI would've been fine if I wasn't on the Safari Cruise ride doing a photo op with some kids from the Make-A-Wish foundation. I fell over the side of the boat and drowned in 10 feet of water. What a day for those kids. I don't think they'll be calling that theme park the "happiest place on Earth" anymore.

DeleteYou were walking down the street. You passed by an apartment building and heard some muffled screams and yell...like a couple fighting in a room up above.
ReplyDeleteAt precisely that moment, you hear a crash, but you don't care. You don't attempt to look at what was happening.
Too bad for you. A flip flop shot through a window and started hurtling down. Someone yells "look out!" but you pay them no attention, you were always invisible to the people around you.
The flip flop lands a perfect smack on your head...death by a blunt object.

Disgruntled and downright offend by the selection of scraps in the icebox, cruel hunger pangs force you into the wild for a hunt.
Real and mythical creatures alike had best be looking over their furry shoulders today; you are far too hungry to discriminate.
Hot on the trail of a tree-climbing pygmy mountain ox small enough to reside in a fishbowl, you don’t notice that loose branch. One more step and the prey is yours… SNAP!
As you descend, moments before the fossilized droppings of cyclopean vampire bats pass through both eye sockets and out the back of your skull, you remember the sandwich you had stashed for a day just like this one.
She was kind of stupid, a little too apathetic, and smelled a bit earthy, but she was a very sweet and lovely girl nonetheless. You'd already been dating for a few weeks when you started to notice that twinkle in her eyes; one of ravenous hunger. Hungry, not so much like the wolf, but like A wolf. There's a difference, you know.
ReplyDeleteYou woke up groggy one day, unaware of anything radically different from the norm, but overcome by the feeling that something might have been amiss. Glancing over at the coffee table, you saw your beautiful ladyfriend madly devouring what appeared to be a rather large chicken leg.
That's when the stump where your left arm used to be started itching, and upon scratching it you realized just what it was she was eating. Her bloodshot eyes suddenly locking with yours, she pounced instinctively, and the twilight of your short life consisted mostly of your face being chewed off.

You went to the local baseball stadium, spectating a heated game.
ReplyDeleteYou reminisce of how you used to always pray that you'll catch the foul ball.
You've changed. You no longer bring a baseball mitt to every game. Now you pay for your own damn pretzels and soda.
Speaking of which, you've provoked your hunger. You turn around, looking for the vendor, who's never there on the right time.
Unfortunately, timing was never your forte, as the foul ball you always yearned for struck you in the back of the head, killing you instantly, and traumatized 64 kids.
Be careful what you wish for...

Beautiful day outside so I decide to take a walk. I hear a shriek and turn my head to see a child falling out of a fifth floor window. I sprint as fast as I can and make a diving catch. Astounded by my amazing catch I the proceed to slam the child to the ground in preparation for a touchdown dance. The father rushes down stairs and beats me to death before I could finish my dance.

If there was one thing you could always be counted on for, it was to laugh. No matter the joke, internet video, random misfortune or even odd facial expression.

It’s a funny story; I guess that’s how these always start. I met a man I hated for wounding my pride. So I gathered some glass and ground it up. Made a shake with the special ingredient, and left it in the fridge with a label to drink it. Just to be safe I made another and waited. On the day he was gone I silently cheered grabbing a shake that I thought just appeared.

OH MY GOD! A police raid! They found you! As immense panic seizes you, you fumble and the flaming bottles come cascading down in rapid succession, erupting into a fountain of fire and screams. The police weren't quite sure how to classify what they found in that room. So they claimed it was a freak electrical fire, to avoid additional paperwork.
Most people, from what I've gathered, wish to die either in a glorious battle for their country or silently pass while surrounded by their loved ones. I didn't get any of that.

Having sold your sword to the highest bidder for nearly the entirety of your life you often found yourself envious of the simple life of the common serf.
ReplyDeleteWith the culmination of one more battle you hope to have enough gold to settle down, start a farm, and live the remainder of your life in peace and quiet.
Those thoughts seem so very long ago and your mind is a naught but a tumult of regret. Distracted by your thoughts you barely register the din of steel upon steel, the thunder of hooves echoing all around, and that you're lying in a pool of your own blood. Your thoughts meander to the once possible future. Enjoy them though, for soon they will be gone.

You were challenged to a pizza eating contest. The loser would be fattened up and offered to a neighboring village of cannibals in exchange for peace. As a portly man, you accepted the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThe contestants chose their own pizzas. Your opponent chose three pepperoni pizzas. You chose three Sicilian pizzas and never took into account that Sicilian pizzas are square and are 27% larger than round pizzas.
The 27% difference in the quantity you had to eat led to your gruesome fate and you were fed to the cannibals. You see, you never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

Before I even knew what happened my brother and I were in a tag team brawl with these tool throwing masochists. My brother scored the first blow, he jumped all over the guys face. I get ready to do the same but I misstep, and trip over a misplaced turtle shell. While it did not look like more than a three foot drop it took my life.

You stretch out your arms embracing the cold refreshing wind, and open your mouth wide, taking a large relaxing yawn.
A pigeon flies by, and decides to get rid of today's dinner. It lets out its excrement and gravity pulls it down, front, and center into your yawning mouth.

I caught a glimpse of my last love. She had given me some unfriendly advice to take a trip to a place I'd only heard about in church.
As death's cold embrace surrounded me, my body among the stars' twilight glow, I thought about how I was about to make her a happy woman.

ReplyDeleteThe normal routine sets in, bathroom, coffee, shower, and then as you pass the window you see a glare.

The boss then calls and says the roads are bad and you don't have to come to work unless you want to.
You decide to stay home and this is a cause for celebration so you run to the closet to bundle up.
You fling the door open and head outside but you forget to do something as you near that edge of the yard.
