[WP] Every year, you go to the same beach for vacation. Always, an old man sits in a small, dilapidated hut by the sea, staring into the horizon. This time, you see him walk towards the surf, but it pulls back from where he steps . "After all this time," he murmurs, "she still does not forgive me."

[WP] One night, while trying to sleep, you hear a noise under your bed. Fearfully peering underneath, you find a large book, with every monster-under-the-bed cliché written on a separate page. You have no idea how it got there, or why such a metatextual tome choose to appear by you.
