[WP] You don’t sleep. Around 9 pm or so, you blackout, and another personality take over. You've been this way your whole life, and up til now, there haven’t been any issues. Lately, though, your other self has been acting strangely and making poor choices. It’s time the two of you talked.	16

[WP] You’re a birdwatcher who has noticed something odd. Geese are amassing in record numbers, they’ve fastened razor blades to their wing tips, and now they’re practicing flying in military formations. It looks like things are about to go south—for mankind.	15
[WP] You’re an immortal, or you thought you were. You’ve lived for countless ages, but the last hundred years or so, you’ve been slowing down, wearing out, and right now, your feel terrible.
