[WP] Growing up in a wealthy fantasy town, it’s only once you get older that you question where the wealth comes from. The town has nothing to offer outsiders but coin. At the back of the cemetery, there’s an old mausoleum with brand new iron bars across the doorway. Inside, something is crying.	14
[WP] After being caught in an avalanche, your frozen brain finally registers a dog is digging you out. A Saint Bernard, complete with brandy barrel. “Have a drink,” you hear in the distance. “You know brandy doesn’t medically do jack,” you reply. “Oh, that ain’t brandy, pal. That’s the good stuff.”	14
[WP]After years of struggling to pay for your college tuitions, all your debts are taken care of. Relief grows into suspicion when you come home to find a Porsche 911 out the front. Two men in expensive suits stand when you enter. “You’re not an easy person to track down, sis. You know that, right?”	14
[WP] Working deep underground means annual immunisations and regular check-ups. Getting your yearly jab, you wince as the burn spreads through you. That didn’t feel like any jab you’ve had before. Looking at the medic, you see he is watching you just as keenly. ‘Did it work?’ you hear him thinking.	14
[WP] You’re a bastard child of a wealthy emperor. Your mother’s a concubine. Although you’ll never rule, your father gave you enough money and a trusted bodyguard/friend/servant to set you up for life. The first thing you see is how poor the empire is outside the palace, and the guards are cruel.	14
[WP] You wake up to the morning warmth of the sun. You stretch with a happy sigh and smack your lips, only to realise something is caught in your teeth. Using your fingernails as toothpicks, you pull out … bloodied fur?	13
[WP] After a lifetime of being worshipped as an Aztec oracle, you awaken after a cleansing to a world that doesn’t even remember you. People scream and flee, but one stays. You deem him to be semi-important and he agrees to help you. You’ve had visions of this time, but now you have to live in it.	13
[WP]You’re a former soldier now turned private eye, hired because a husband believes his wife is having an affair. She is certainly acting odd, but its not until you blow up your photos with her beau for finer details that you realise she’s not having an affair. No, what she’s into is so much worse.	13
[WP]A chalk outline is all that remains after your SO was removed from the house. You fall to your knees and promise anything for the ability to know what happened. “Done,” a dark, ominous tone says. Suddenly, as you stare at the outline, your SO appears inside it and time seems to travel backwards.	13
[WP] In an age of disbelief, you learn you have divinity in your ancestry. You can do anything, provided the people touching you believe wholeheartedly that you can do it. The trick is, convincing them of this.	13
