[WP] You’ve destroyed the evil warlord. It’s taken decades but battered and wounded, you are finally victorious. Then, his enormous, monstrous enforcer walks in and surveys the scene. Instead of attacking, it looks lost.	12
[WP] You’re a forensic photographer who has a quirk of taking crime scene photos with a 35mm film as well as a traditional digital camera. Why? Because when the photos are developed, they reveal a snapshot of the actual crime taking place. Your latest crime scene has your partner as the murderer.	12
[WP] During a long drive in the rain, you pass an old man making his way down the highway. After travelling a few minutes, you slap the steering wheel and double back for him. Something about him seems familiar. “You don’t remember me, do you baby?” he asks with a sad smile. Then you see his tattoo.	12
[WP] A dilapidated rope ladder leads down into a chamber, deep beneath the mountains. Two-thirds of the way down, the rope snaps and you fall, landing painfully. With nothing else for it, you light a torch and look around. You were promised treasure. This was not what you expected.	12
[WP] You’re both an archaeologist and a deep-sea recovery specialist, sent down to recover artifacts from a sunken Spanish galleon. The bones are still there too. Floating in the water, you're admiring the captain’s telescope when a bony hand closes around your wrist.	12
[WP] In a world covered in ice and misery, you are a storyteller. Your stories speak of a time of sunshine and birds and plants. A time where cold lasted a few months at best and sand wet by the ocean could be used to make sandcastles. You even describe heatstroke … in vivid detail.	12
[WP] You prefer to swim laps alone in the middle of the night as it helps you think and have found a way into the local pool after hours. You pause in the shadows of the shallow end and hear a splash at the other end. Three armed men in suits are watching someone struggle at the bottom of the pool.	12
[WP] An assassin’s latest assignment is going to be their most challenging job to date. Eliminating their own twin when they share a sensory, emotional and telepathic bond.	12
[WP] Desperate to avoid the storm that’s on the horizon, you and your party seek shelter in a derelict mine that’s still braced by old timber rafters. Common sense says to stay near the opening until the storm passes, but a voice from your past that only you can hear calls to you from within.	12
[WP] In a world of adventurers and magic and power, you have carved out a tiny niche for yourself. You are a street stall baker, providing all manner of baking. You always have what everyone wants and not a crumb more. No one has yet to stop and ask why that is.	11
