An Entry for Mizal's "Gone Fishing" contest.
There's a profile badge in there somewhere.
Possibly CYS's half-blackest story yet!
Entry for Sherb's Summer Contest thing.
Autobiographical. This happened last time I went to Waffle House
At the time of writing... very sleepy. Idk what this is, but maybe is good? Maybe is not. If not good is accidental
A rather bright orc's misadventures in a haunted inn.
This was an entry for the Damned and the SHAMED contest.
My debut story and an entry for Endmaster's Myth and Religion Contest
Play as Doeg, the herdsman of Saul, a minor antagonist to David. The biblical story of Doeg is found in 1 Samuel 21 and 22. A "true" ending is one I considered containing an ending where the protagonist accomplished a part of his purpose or made some kind of mark on history. Feel free to disagree or to like one of the death endings better. There is a (relatively) biblically accurate path with a choice between two epilogues, so you can consider that a "win" you want to.

Crime of Passion

Play as a man in post WWII New York. Life sure was easy before you fell in love with a canary.
This is an entry for Endmaster's Prompt Contest 2
Mystery Box: Story that starts with the protagonist being sentenced to death.
Note: There is only one ending that ends with the protagonist alive. This is not meant to be the winning ending. This is meant to be a crime noir, and sometimes death makes a beautiful ending to a story. Every ending is a winning ending.

Most people call the "every little point" supporting arguments, and the "overall thrust" the conclusion.
This is easily the most insane post out of all of them

As long as we're just vaguely talking about a large time period, that's also *around* the time when US literacy became much more widespread

As far as Ancient Greek monsters that are not hybrids, I'm no expert, but Charybdis comes immediately to mind.
I think many "modern monsters" could also be argued to be hybrids of some kind. Bigfoot seems to be a man-ape, the Jersey devil, a man-bat-horse or whatever.
I think a more likely reason the hybrid style of monsters gave way is the natural selection model of evolution. Maybe some influence from H.G. Wells or H.P. Lovecraft also drives the modern urge to make "monsters" and "aliens" entirely 'other'
