Top voted prompt of the week by oddjaqx on Reddit r/WritingPrompts

You’re a seemingly normal, non-religious human being. Death for some reason, desperately wants you off this Earth. Satan however, wants you no where near Hell. Every freak accident meant to kill you, is countered by an even freakier “miracle” to keep you alive.

Just a Mellow Fellow

Rain spattered my face, making me sputter as I looked around at the smoke. My workplace had gone up in flames, and out of absolutely nowhere, a torrential downpour comes and puts it out. I hear the sirens wail, and I stumble to my feet, unharmed. A good bit of smoke inhalation, but probably not enough to be an issue. Probably. I stagger past the burnt shelves that I had so often restocked, remembering how I hated doing that. Now, looking back on it, it wasn't so bad. At least, not as bad as it could've been. The corner shop, that I had so often gone to as a child to get frozen treats and snacks, and later found a job, had burnt, almost to a husk. I walk out in a daze, and hear the wailing of sirens, a flash of red, and then nothing.
