IN A WORLD with a corrupt sheriff, a tsunami, and a horse with no name... (it's also a western. Yee haw.)

 

[SirContro]

A slightly more serious attempt: The flood took out the whole town. It could've been avoided if the sheriff hadn't been laundering funds, built some sea walls, focused on evacuating the town, something. The selfish son of a bitch knew the town was damned, I just know it. How else could you explain his trip, planned conveniently just a few nights before it happened? He thought we all died; most of us did. By complete luck, it was just me and a weak old horse on the ranch just outside town. I explored the wreckage and found the bank vault empty. All the proof I needed to resolve myself to track that sick son of a bitch down.

For next time; when you write a synopsis, provide a genre and 3 elements for the next person.

I'll provide one for the next person below me:

Mystery - A purple tree, a harbor always shrouded in fog, A hatchet

 

[SirDucer]

So uh... Notice neither of you gave a prompt for the next person. (next prompt got provided the second I typed that lol)

 

[Bimbanana]

Yggdrasil—or the Tree of Life, whichever you prefer—ended up reincarnated into another world. Not as a god, not as a world pillar. Just… a small purple tree living near a harbor. With two parents. A red tree and a blue tree (hence the purple colour). For the first time in its very long existence, it experienced something new. Love.

It didn’t last. One foggy day, it heard chopping in the distance. Loud. Repetitive. Getting closer. It wanted to look, but it couldn’t. Trees don’t move. By the time the fog cleared, both of its parents were gone. All that remained was an axe.

That was when Yggdrasil learned something else. Fury. Fury make it move. Fury make it roots tore from the ground.

The axe was taken. And for the first time, the Tree of Life made a decision. Revenge.

This world was used to deforestation, It wasn’t ready for a tree comitted to dehumanization.


Next prompt:

Crime: A cat mask, a full moon, a whip

Next prompt:

It's almost like you expected me to reply.
If you did, you're god damn right.

--

The police call it a pattern.

Every full moon, a girl in a white porcelain cat mask walks the streets, a whip trailing behind her.

When she appears, disappearances follow. Quiet, clean, with no witnesses or traces.

By the time anyone thinks to look, or tries to catch a glimpse of her face, she's not there.

If you see her, don't run.

She prefers when you do.

Fantasy - A talking dog, desert city, fire tornados

 

[Juia_Darkcrest]

Fantasy - A talking dog, desert city, fire tornados

Corrupt, inhumane, demonic.

These are some of the words used to describe the desert city of Bashaar, who's Zarr ruled over the city with an iron fist and terrible magic.

When the Zarr began destroying holy shrines with powerful fire tornadoes, the Goddess Lassie had just about enough. She sent forth her most powerful warrior, Chips, to stop this evil cat from continuing his reign of chaos.

They say all dogs go to heaven, now see what happens when a battered war veteran comes back down and unleashes all hell.


Sci-fi - Salty Captain, pirates, space whales.

 

[AliceMoonvale]

Captain Seamus “Don’t Touch My Rum” Burdock has three problems: his ship is falling apart, his crew is 80% mutiny-coded, and the galaxy’s notorious pod of migratory space whales have decided he’s their new mom.

Drifting between lawless asteroid belts and on-going cosmic wars, the saltiest and most vulgar pirate in known space must outrun rival raiders, outsmart interstellar tax collectors who don't take kindly to his galatic tax evasion, and somehow keep a pod of moon-sized, emotionally needy whales from “protecting” him to death.

In the vacuum of space, no one can hear you swear, except for the whales.

It's always the whales.

Isekai- A world of dancing bears, a hero who is a eunuch covered in honey, twelve fat men baking a cake

Terrence was having a bad day. First, a failed circus date. Second, he got run over by a circus truck carrying a dancing bear. Third, death.

Luckily, an isekai goddess took pity on him and offered a second life in a fantasy world. New start. New dreams. Unlimited potential.

Terrence, being responsible, immediately spent all his skill points. Unfortunately he realized he forgot to scroll down.
His vitality stat? Zero.

Permanently.

Which meant his grand second life would be lived… as a eunuch.

Still, Terrence refused to give up. Dream big or go home. Except... he already died, so no going home. He would become a baker. A great one.

But first, he must survive his internship under the kingdom’s most famous baker, Hesus and his twelve very fat, very devoted disciples who loves to bake cakes, but also not happy about sharing the oven.
