The Unluckiest Man In the World
This storyline provided by: Vinh ___________________________ You know the old saying “Anything that can go wrong, will”? They call it Murphy’s Law — Well I may as well be Murphy himself, but no, that would be too convenient. My name is Harry, last name Butts. Unfortunate I know, but trust me, I’ve gotten over it by now. I am arguably, the unluckiest man in the world....
An interaction in a women's bathroom
This idea submitted by Syd from sydvish.tumblr.com ______________________________________________ It started 3 months ago about the time that she started working there.

At this point in every young man’s...
Fire
I haven’t recieved any emails yet, so here’s a short one I wrote earlier. The timer wasn’t exactly on when I wrote this story, (I wrote it a day before I decided to make this blog) but it took me about 10 Minutes. In case you couldn’t tell the submitted idea in this case would have been fire. __________________________________________________________ “When will you...
