This week in bdc-shorts, we are aiming to try something different! and with that in mind, we have come up with something that will undoubtly get your creative juices flowing!
So without further a-dou, lets head onto what this week has in store for us!



This week we will be presenting you with a series of stories and senarious, and what you got to do with it, is pretty simple.

Pick a prompt of your liking, and in the comment section below, continue it, the rule being that you can't write over 150 words!

When you are done, tag one of your friends or anyone you fancy and ask them to write the next paragraph, in no more than 150 words, thus continueing the story together, creating a new adventure of your own.

So here are the stories!

  1. A bully is harassing you online and in a system where the system facilitates them with the means of doing so. You take drastic measures, you hire a hacker, find the bully's IP and real world location and…

  2. You got on a local bus full of people. There's chaos all around you. One passenger is in an open conflict with the fare collector/conductor, another already threatened to beat him up. Meanwhile the bus hit something and then cannot start. You are tired and you fell asleep. When you wake up, you see no one on the bus except you, no people on the road as well. The bus stands still in the middle of the toad. The sun set hours ago. You get off the bus and…

  3. Of all places under the heavens, he had found love in the toilet. He is a janitor who one day finds a note in his locker box directed to him. A confession that says how much the person who wrote it wants him in their life. And from there, a gruesome tale of true love intersecting with Stockholm syndrome begins....

  4. He walked into the pub and took a seat on one of the empty stool. It was still midday, too early to drink indeed. But after what had happened with the damn cat, he had no choice but to run here. It all started with the stupid can of tuna.....

  5. He wakes up feeling rattled and uneasy. The dream he saw was a weird endeavor, and even though the memory of it was quickly fading away, he was sure the dream had something to do with the following three things; "a talking snake, a big jar of Nutella and..." as he smacked his head for an answer, with the sudden sound of his phone came the answer; his girlfriend, whom he was ignoring for about a week now....

You got on a local bus full of people. There's chaos all around you.

You get off the bus and take a quick look at the surroundings. Even though the city you live in is full of chaos with noisy people, the road doesn’t reflect on that statement anymore. Apart from the vehicle you just got off, there is no sign of any transportation, no sight of birds or street dogs, even the wind seems to stop its occasional whispers. Confusion slowly starts to creep in as the sudden abnormality of the situation decides to click in the mind. Still you decide to walk a bit further to launch your own investigation. Is it the reality you’ve been known all your life, or did you somehow manage to stuck in a very fucked up scenario.

well, now continue the story @drivingindevon, @zayedsakib, @surrealfia, @notacinephile, @rafa-noor, @annabeth.

whyy thankk youu for this opportuniy eggie :v lemme see what i can cook up here...

The walk you take feels weird at best. As night has already fallen, creeping darkness surrounding you makes you shiver, but you try your best to ignore it. This was not the time to let paranoia grab you, as you honestly had bigger things to worry about; one of them being the location.

No matter how much you try to make sense of your surroundings, you still can't figure out where you are. To make matters worse, your phone had decided to die just as you got off the bus, so any chance of you googling to know how further you were from home felt slim.

"This can't be happening.", the thought hits you, and just as panic starts gripping you by the throat, you see something glow in the distance.

Even with the foggy surroundings you have no doubt that it's there, and like a dying man you all but ran towards it. But with every step you take, your confusion grows.

The light was coming from a pub. And unlike the flashy signboards or LED decorations you are used to seeing, the faint orange glow looked to be coming from some well-lit lanterns....

@zayedsakib @surrealfia @notacinephile @rafa-noor and @annabeth ,fall in line boyss. Let's make this weird :')

Well well, that was something!! Um I think I came out with something too. @sarashew @drivingindevon lemme know I'm spoiling your story or not :3

You slowly started to walk towards the light. The closer you were to the light, the hope of your survival rose like a spire. Coming towards the pub, it feels like none was here for ages! Weeds and dandelions crept all over the front yards, poles, and staircase covered with trailing ivy. The supremacy of nature was quite visible on that faded yellowish wall of the pub where it almost turned into a sap green. Though you thought it would be an abortive attempt, you decided to have a peek through that rusty wooden door. Slowly it opened with a cranky sound, and unexpectedly you saw a shabby mid aged man sitting on a tanned coffee table, slowly he turned around and looked for the source of the sound. Seeing another soul, you were like a drawing man caught at a straw. But his lustful look made your heart skip a beat.
You swayed on your feet and took a few tottering steps, then started to run backward. Coming to the yard with a restless heart you saw something that you never expected before...

Ok now @zayedsakib @notacinephile @surrealfia @annabeth, it's your turn!! 😁

ehmmmm.... umm umm okie la...



Why? Why him?

The face that haunts me in my nightmares is now facing me; standing a few feet away under the fluorescent light.

How the hell is he here?

So many questions flood my mind but each of them is unanswered. I still try to convince myself that it's not him. Maybe my eyes are betraying me. There's no way he was there, it's impossible.

He was dead. He really was, right?

As if he felt me staring at him, he looks at me - his face is blank. But why? Why was he here? Or, is it that he has come to find me? I take a step back. No, no, some stuff should just stay in the nightmares - my sins are one of them, where he belongs. Did he just jump out of my nightmares? Dead don't walk among the living.

And I was sure I had killed him... so sure...



@sarashew @drivingindevon whatchu gonna do?

Fearful of the retribution from the eerie figure of the apparition that arguably had no right to present itself in front of me, albeit the right-wingers would perhaps call it an apt work of vengeance, I made a quick reach out for the nearest door to veer in—in short, I ran and got into the pub I just left.
The inside of the pub is changed drastically, there's a crowd in there now, nigh-silent buzzing is coming from them, chitter chatter all around. And behind the bar counter, there's a middle aged woman, with a feisty look on her face. She is a tough-looking mean dame yet had a warm feeling to her eyes. She signaled me to take a seat and while I slowly approached the table, cautiously looking over the room, and taking in the details—she brought me a coffee. The room, this pub cannot be the place I was just a minute ago, yet I am so certain I reentered the same pub. The decorations and the time period of those decorations are all wrong. The people are a mixed lot, red, white, yellow, brown, black, men, women—strangely though there are no kids or old people. A few of them looked at my direction, and quickly averted their gaze. However, sipping my nearly perfect coffee, which was actually an amusing thing as I never seem to get good coffee in pubs, I can still feel their gazes.
Suddenly I overheard something. There is supposed to be a convergence of something somewhere. The time has to be right, otherwise, things would go wrong. I lean forward...intent on hearing some more...

You can go ahead and continue @zayedsakib @r-nyn

His girlfriend liked Nutella most. However, his girlfriend's desire forced him to purchase this idiotic item. He wasn't a chocolate fan. So, during a fight with his partner, he tossed that Nutella out of the home, hurting her. Then this whole week he ignored his girlfriend completely. However, today he sensed a change. Picking up the phone, he discovered his girlfriend had passed away the day she had left his home. The people who discovered her dead discovered his phone number in emergency contacts. Consequently, his girlfriend wasn't the one who had been calling him all week. He wasn't told how his girlfriend passed away by the person who broke the news to him. To visit, he invited him. He had never loved a girl so intensely. It was just physical needs for him . But his girlfriend really did adore him. He thus realized that throwing her favorite Nutella must have wounded her a lot. However, he was irritated because he didn't really want to visit his dead girlfriend's body. If someone implied it was his responsibility, he would be scared! However, after getting ready, he realized he had left his house door open when he started his car. so ran back to his house to lock it once again ….

@darthhelios @minhajulmredol now complete the story brother 😅

However, after getting ready, he realized he had left his house door open when he started his car. so ran back to his house to lock it once again ….

But when he reached his doors he saw them closed, it could be a misunderstanding so he turned again to move toward his car and at that very moment, his heart felt something weird, he thought of cross-checking, but surprisingly he realized that the doors weren't locked by him because he couldn't find his keys in his pockets as he left them inside and on top of that he discovered his doors locked from inside. He lives alone with no one apart from his girlfriend who passed away too. Panic seized him!!

Who is this? Could be a thief who thought of grabbing this golden opportunity of his carelessness, he said, "It's your bad day my boy that I am gonna get you." He used his spare keys hidden in his car to get inside with a stick for safety measures. Getting inside he was frozen, in front of his couple photograph, he saw that exact Nutella jar that he had thrown away on that day while fighting with his girlfriend…..


Thank you for tagging me, now I would like to tag @riz611 bhai or anyone else who would like to continue…..

Getting inside he was frozen, in front of his couple photograph, he saw that exact Nutella jar that he had thrown away on that day while fighting with his girlfriend…..

After seeing that little jar again he decided to take a closer look at it, as he closed in he felt dizzy; soon enough he couldn't really keep his footing and lost his balance, he then started to drop towards the floor, and just when he hit the floor, he woke up, realizing it was all just a dream.

I mean really, who would be crazy enough to throw around a precious and heavenly jar of Nutella? You wouldn't even do that to your enemy, unless the jar was empty.

And when he finally wakes up, he sees his girl just by his side, devouring the last bit of Nutella that was left, all by herself.
