(A/N So quick Author's note before we get to this, I feel like dying! I'm just tired but I still have NaNo to do, I only just remembered NaNo at 11 pm yesterday and had to like quickly type in 100 words so yeah :l I'm trying to make up those words and today's at the same time and I just hate days like this where you have to do like, 2 days of work... My energy has also been completely drained out of me because of recent events but I'm still doing NaNo even though I just want to sleep right now. Dedication am I right? Okay I'll just get to the prompts now... Hope you have a good time reading it!)


Prompt 1 - You have the ability to see the number of years a person has left in their life. One day you're on a trip to Vatican City. When visiting one of the old catacombs, you see through a tomb wall the infinity symbol.


   For some strange reason, you've always been able to see someone's lifespan since you were born. Whenever you looked above someone's head there would always be a couple of numbers that determined how long that person would live for. It was a strange and terrifying thing to know when you're friends and family would die, but you never told anyone. The only exception you had to this 'power' was that was a person's mage was tampered with in any way, you couldn't see their time of death; you couldn't see when someone died through their reflection, and pictures never showed a date. As such, you could never see your date of death as the only way to look at the top of your head was through a mirror or picture. This power didn't really bother you as much as you would think it would though, there were times were you freaked out, wished you were blind or something like that, but you tried to get over them as quickly as you could and you kept living on, knowing exactly when everyone you met would die.

   So, you grew up and at one point, took a vacation to Vatican City. It was nice to look around and look into the history of great civilizations like this. You were currently touring one of the catacombs and passed by many tombs, it was actually suffocating in there and it seemed to swallow up any light. You started to see something, a small jumble is what it looked like to you, clearly no one else in the tour group saw so you started to freak out a little. What if there was someone lost and trapped in the catacombs? You tried to continue as perfectly normal and it slowly got closer and closer until you realized that the 'numbers' in question was actually just one measly symbol. That symbol made your blood go ice cold when you actually recognized it, you stopped completely and just stared at the wall you saw the infinity symbol peer through for your vision only. What did that mean? You've never encountered anything like that before so what does it mean for you, everybody in the group, and for whatever below that infinity symbol?

   You kept walking to not look suspicious, you weren't even listening to what the tour guide was saying and you kept your eyes locked onto that sideways eight as it drew closer and closer. When it got to the point where you were passing the tomb the encased the specimen you had to ask, "What is this one?" You pointed towards the tomb that seemed as inconspicuous as any of the others were. The tour guide stopped talking and looked at the tomb that was being pointed at, "I don't know, many people were buried here but they were mostly just random citizens not talked about in history." The group and tour guide seemed to be satisfied with that but you were obviously not, it's clearly an important... 'person' if they somehow live forever. You followed the group anyway and planned to make a short leave from the group when you were coming back.

   You still didn't listen to anything the tour guide was saying, you didn't look at your surroundings much either anymore, all of your focus was put onto that strange bland tomb that supposedly held a 'nobody', a nobody that lived forever but for some reason was not walking around like a mummy or zombie or even just a regular person. The tour seemed to drag on but soon enough, they had turned back and were starting to go up their course again, you slowly started to go to the back of the party and slowed down so you were slowly getting farther away from them. When you saw the tomb in question again, you felt your heartbeat in your throat and your mind started to throw doubts and worries around. You kept slowing down your walk until you were completely deserted by the tour group.
