They'd grown tired of being unknown, so They took up arms. People would soon know who They were and not just what They say.

I had always assumed the war would be between us and them. It hadn't occurred to me that They might be someone besides Them.

Exactly one character off from a twabble. They've got to you, haven't They?
Who's to say who, "Who are They?"
Many have died who tried to play
with Them.
So keep your yap shut
cover your butt
Condemn.

My first try here:
After his evening prayer to the Elder Gods he studied his horoscope for the day. Once again, the stars hadn't been right.

I downed the vial of blue liquid. Immortality was mine. What I hadn't anticipated was an eternity at my job: McDonald's.

"God lives in us!" cried the vicar.
Golden script lit the sky: Actually, I'm only in one of you! Good luck!

I'm posting this on behalf of our friend Alasdair Stewart (@AlasdairStuart) who I don't think realized he had made a twabble when he tweeted this. It is unedited, exactly as he initially posted it.
He has a train to catch...OR THOUSANDS DIE. Stephen Seagal in AN HOUR TO KILL. And it's just him checking email at Benugo.

Just at shift change, when the crowd at the fire station would be extra large, Jonathan rushed in and screamed, "MOVIE!"

Wiping my own piss off the back of my head, I stormed out of the men's room. It was time to take the portal gun away from Drew.

I've already eaten ten apples today. But the doctor is still outside my door, writing eerie words and mumbling in latin.
