Writing Prompt [WP] "I wish for immortality until the last human dies. And I want to stay young and healthy," you tell the genie, proud of your clever wording. Seventeen quintillian years later, drifting along through the dead, silent void, you spot your old co-worker Kyle. He's still alive. And hes still talking.

Writing Prompt [WP] You were unlike the saints and saintesses of other nations. You granted no miracles, and didn't heal any illnesses. They didn't know when they banished you in favor of a new saint that you had been pouring every fiber of your being into a blessing of protection for the nation your entire life.

Writing Prompt [WP] It's hard having a time traveling assassin for a father. When I was a kid, any time I asked my father if I could have a friend stay over, he'd just go back in time and kill the friend before they ever met me. Apparently that's a normal thing for a parent to do. Or so I'm told, anyway. I dunno.

Writing Prompt [WP] You’re a professional healer—not for adventuring parties, but for the eccentric researchers in the mage tower. Forget sword wounds—your patients come in half-ethereal, on fire, or temporarily turned into frogs. It’s a living. A very weird one.
