Challenge #04723-L339: Unburied

Sluggish movements, unable to think, and forced to work for eternity by a Vodun Sorcerer. Zombies, a metaphor for the nightmare of every slave. After decades of distortion, it would be fitting to tell a tale in the mold of what happened to those unfortunate souls like Clairvius Narcisse… -- Deathshead419

[AN: I usually don't mess with RL people. So this entity will be legally distinct from that person]

I am... stuck. I know I was someone, but I can not remember... anything. I must work, I must obey, I must... remember... something. Something beyond my grave.

What I remember is wreathed in fog. The light of the sun as... the Master... opened my casket. His voice, demanding I rise and follow. I vaguely remember not liking being dead. It was stuffy in there. Suffocating.

It should not be possible to suffocate when you're already dead. That should have mattered more, but... the thought evaded me for all the time since the grave. I never saw the Master's face. Even when I was looking at him. I do not remember the sound of his voice, but I remember that his word is my command.

Challenge #04707-L323: Money Makes Me Talk

The Thief Oxisa has been hired to steal the crown jewels of the Kordisce Kingdom. Only, the Kordisce has become a republic and the new government hopes to put those treasures in a museum. Oh well, so long as Oxisa’s fee is paid, she doesn’t care. Caring about politics is a great way for a thief to make a fatal mistake. -- Deathshead419

Everything is money, when you get down to the root of it. Power? Money. Property? Money. Even

Challenge #04647-L263: Just One Won't Hurt

For decades Markus was a marketer for [BRAND] Cigarettes, telling himself lie after lie to justify his job. That was until his brother contracted lung cancer. Now Markus is desperate to use his riches to make amends for his ill deeds. But is there really anything he can do to make up for all the bodies he’s helped to poison? -- Deathshead419

[AN: Had to alter this prompt a little because there is an actual brand name involved. I can not

Challenge #04562-L178: Under the Thumb of Justice

After a lifetime of flaunting and breaking the law, this rapscallion has reached the end of the line. But that doesn't mean there won't be one last fight... -- Anon Guest

Law should not be allowed to lay traps, strictly in my own, not so humble opinion. Citizens are definitely allowed to protect their treasures with locks and wards, that's just respect. Those who can afford greater security gain greater attention. That much risk is easily associated with fantastically great rewards.

Challenge #04561-L177: The Ultimate Scam

Mr Bad Example lives a life of plunder and scams, impersonating people, ripping off his workers, and changing identities whenever the heat rises too much. -- Anon Guest

[AN: I've been informed that there's a song called Mr Bad Example by Warren Zevon, so I can't use exactly that name for this piece.]

Alan Nemor had a gift. Primarily, he had the gift of being nondescript, but with a lot of charisma. He could change his hat and his coat and become

Challenge #03938-J286: Cut the Right Way

As Jay's knife slid into his target's chest, the wild insanity in his target's eyes faded for just a moment. The being grabbed Jay's shoulders, looked into his eyes and said softly, honestly, "Thank you for freeing me, the nightmare's finally over." -- Anon Guest

They weren't always sent after the powerful fascistic type. Sometimes, they were sent after the cruel and unusual. Those beyond the CRC's long arm of jurisdiction. Those who could not otherwise be stopped.

Mengele-class psychopaths. Operating in

Challenge #03338-I050: We Can Do That Too

Ricardo Carlos is a 34-year-old drug dealer. His dream is to be a successful kingpin in Vice City. He has been dealing drugs since the age of 10 and has been arrested in his 20s. He was an ex-Los Santos Vagos gang member. -- Anon Guest

Things change too fast, amigo. You grow up learning one way to climb the ladder and then the asshole at the top pushes it down. Used to be you could go places. Move product, show your

Challenge #01472-D011: Lawful Suspicion

“I wanna leave without a trace cause I don’t wanna die in this place.” -- Song-Lyric-Prompts

The Night Guard who had found her outside, one second after curfew, nodded in understanding. For an instant, their eyes were human, before they remembered to be cold and cruel once more. "We have a duty to the citizens of Nova York, miss. Including the citizens who are breaking the law. Now we find it suspicious that you were cleaning up after yourself as you

Challenge #01427-C332: Illegal Saviors

Someone going through human archives, and they find this story and the key phrase of it:

"It may be ‘illegal’, but those who risk their liberty to ~save the world~ should never be reprimanded, no matter what those in power say." -- RecklessPrudence

When the people of Pre-Space Planetary System #J4N3T-111811260516 finally get into Galactic Society, they'll find some funny things in the archives. If they go looking.

My name is Leon. And technically? I'm a criminal.

GalStands&Legs - that's
