[WP] You sign for a sealed parcel about a foot cubed that’s addressed to your new roommate. Since it’s labelled fragile, you drop it semi-carefully on the sofa instead of the table. It bounces on the cushion, then starts to wriggle and jump furiously of its own accord.	7
[WP] You gave up everything, including a lucrative career, to follow your dream of opal mining. For years, everyone dumped on you for being a fool. One person stood by you, offering you a shoulder and a kind word when you needed it. Today, you found a pocket of fire opal worth millions.	7
[WP] After being cajoled into going on a camping trip with your friends, the night ends with scary stories around the fire. As you listen to their best Halloween stories, a voice whispers through your mind, “Stop pretending, and feed.”	7
[WP] All you ever wanted out of life was to be a world champion MotoGP racer. With a lot of work, that happened thirteen years ago. Since then, the trophies and accolades have lost their sparkle. Then you see a kid on the track with the same drive and determination that you once had.	7
[WP] You have one special ability, which you can only use once more. You may change any one historical action within your lifetime. The only catch? You alone will remember the old timeline, not the new one.	7
[WP] You’ve inherited a lucky coin that only works for complete strangers. As soon as those strangers learn anything about you, it stops working. It’s been going on for a while now, but you are determined to benefit from this situation somehow. You just need to figure out a way.	7
[WP] Ever since you were kids, you’ve never been inside your best friend’s house. Today’s the day. They agree to take you. As you approach the door, you hear countless voices inside. “We’re home!” All goes quiet. In the living room, two older people sit on the sofa surrounded by a lot of animals.	7
[WP] “Give me lions and bears! Just don’t ask me to look at a black ink spot test!” the inmate screamed within the confines of his straight jacket between two wardsmen. He laughed and cried, and as you sedate him, you hear him whisper, “Where do you think the shadow people hide during the day?”	6
[WP] You have always been driven by money. All your life, you've promised yourself 'After this job, I'll settle down and go straight'. The last time went too close and now you really, really, really meant it. Really.	6
[WP] You’re a small fisherman who has always supplied your village. Sometimes, when things were difficult, your haul has included valuables to balance the scales. Today, with things extremely dire at home, you have no idea what to make of what’s tangled in nets in the bottom of your boat.	6
