  I understand that some people are new to this and don't know how it all works. It goes a little something like this:

  You write a post I read the post I use the post as fuel for a flash fiction.

  Not much to fret about, right?

  Except...

  I really prefer it when the prompt is in the content of the prompt thread, and not the title.

  So can you all please make sure the prompt is not the title? It makes all things way easier for me.

  Likewise, it's preferable to have one post per prompt. Do not reply to a post with another prompt, please.

  Also... you don't need to tell me to have fun with a prompt. I always have fun. Telling me is just superfluous.

  The survey leader folded hir forelimbs and radiated annoyance. "It is small, furry, and completely unarmed. The worst it can do is a scratch." Insectoid faces don't easily show annoyance, but this one made a determined effort. "What are you afraid of, getting an owie on your boo-boo?"

  A single inescapable fact is that humanity united with infinitely greater purpose in pursuit of war than they ever did in pursuit of peace.

  I did this. I don't remember doing it, but it cannot be otherwise.

  I have committed sins in my life before. I even killed a man once who didn't deserve it.

  But this is different. I am changed.

  These murders were not my choice. A Beast lives inside of me.

  I will be hunted and shunned. I need to hide. Run. Bury the bodies.

  I start to walk outside when I realize what truly bothers me...
  ...I feel no guilt.
