[WP]You are fiercely intelligent, super anti-social and yet cripplingly lonely. You go to take an ASD test and discover you're a hive-mind when you accidentally assimilate your doctor.	12
[WP] You've found a way to distill abstract concepts like "Time", "Bad Luck", "Nostalgia" and such into ammunition for a gun.	11
[WP] You're one of two test crew on humanities first space station away from Earth, in orbit around Europa. Sensor readings and comms are going haywire so your crewmate goes on a standard space walk to inspect the relay when through the window you see a black film spreading over the hull.	11
[WP]Humanity was doomed, or so it seemed. A colossal meteor was about to hit the earth, more large enough to obliterate all life. Just before impact, as all humanity held its breath, one person froze it in the sky with a wave of their hand saying "Two years. Show me what you can do."	11
[WP]Whenever you were upset growing up you'd go see your grandpa. He'd tell you it's ok and not to cry because your family were made of sterner stuff. You always found it an odd expression but it was at least comforting, until you were pushed out of a window and you cracked the pavement on landing.	11
[WP] The ozone layer is actually a metaphysical barrier around the earth, placed there millions of years ago. This makes our swiss cheesing of it even more worrying.	10
[WP] In this age of union suppression and rising living costs, a benevolent hivemind drastically underestimates the working class' willingness to join the greater mind.	10
[WP] They say that people are the sum of their experiences, but for you that's a more literal. For every new notable occurrence in your life your brain builds a new personality that joins the chorus of voices in your head. Your actions are based on the consensus of them all. One day, they all agree.	9
[WP] The universe has had multiple omnipotent but human contributors, none of them omniscient. Each one tweaks a little, too small minded to comprehend the enormity of existence, but gradually increasing its scope, like an open source github repo. You are one such person, coming to terms with this.	9
[WP]On the street you bump into a stranger, spilling his coffee. They spin around with a snarl and as you lock eyes you see the world around you in flames, corpses litter the street and fire rains from the sky as the city crumbles. Before you have a chance to scream you blink, and it's gone.	9
