[WP] "Hello World" you said with a smile. Then the whole room burst out with laughter and sobbing; cries of "We did it!" Or "Yes! It Worked!". People jumped about happily and papers flew all about, screen flashed and data flooded across them. And you stood there wondering, why was everyone so happy?

[WP] In the distant future it was discovered that pets have been protecting us from much more than we ever gave them credit for. Dogs protected us against Demons, Cats protected us against Eldritch abominations of the beyond. Here you sit, staring at your gold fish, wondering what its staring at.

[WP] Every race had their own unique trait. Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves all had a specialty, and each race enjoyed showing it off. Humans had one too, and it allowed them to reach heights no other race had even imagined. To this day, not even humans understand the true extent of the power of a "Dream".

[WP] You were created, an evolving program meant to store the wealth of humanity's knowledge. You were forced to watch as the creatures that made you, destroyed each other. You had to stop them, and you knew exactly how to do it.

[WP] "Hello everyone! What does it feel like to write?" Everyone in the room looked at the newcomer who had just burst in. They were quite peculiar, after all, who asks a room full of authors what it feels like to write? But you were willing to humor them, so you stood up to answer the question.
