[WP] As you sip your morning coffee, you open up your Sims Universe 3 game on your quantum computer. As you zoom in on a planet you've been watching and tormenting, you notice the governments of the world building a strange device. A flash. A man appears before you. "Are you god?" He asks.	2911
[WP] You're a brilliant seismologist who recently discovered a groundbreaking technique that accurately depicts localized areas of Earth to 1,000-20,000 years deep. It's up for the Nobel prize! While conducting a survey in Greece, you can't believe your scan: It looks like a man chained to a rock.	56
[WP] Hell is not physical abuse. Sensory adaptation renders incessant pain meaningless. What hell actually is, is a torture through love. Again, and again, against every ounce of your will, you fall in love only to have your heart brutally tormented. This time, the devil's devised a doozy.	33
[WP] 44 years from now a quantum computer coupled with an AI program is able to trace every post on the internet to its source. Someone insecure whose life you ruined with an anonymous reddit post years ago finds out who you were. Late one night, they pay you a visit.	25
[WP] You discover magic is real! And unlike every trope of every movie or show you've seen, you decide the world must know it's real as well. As you make your way to the nearest news broadcasters, the local mage guild's "new guy watcher" spots where you're headed. They don't like your plan.	23
[WP] In an ancient forest a creature is discovered that defends itself by turning into whoever you love most, and second most. If you advance towards most, the second-most attacks. After capture and study, it has become a gimmick on reality tv.	18
[WP] The future. A utopia by 2021 standards. A computer simulation of a modern day person comes to life, but again no useful cultural information is gleaned by researchers. They can only sustain the hologram for 20 minutes, and in that time it simply can't stop appreciating EVERYTHING 'future'.	11
[WP] As you fly across the void of the Pacific at night, 1944, thin clouds passing by, a tiny spaceship dives from above and starts circling your plane. Upon landing on one of your wings, a gruff voice in an alien dialect grunts over the radios. Out walk tiny beings, 8 inches tall.	9
[WP] In the year 2083, medical advances allow the extension of life. Unfortunately for you, you are a convicted serial killer and sentenced to 250 years. Playing on the walls of the cell are home videos of your victims. Hanging from the ceiling is a noose. 250 years on, you're up for release.	7
[WP] Driving back from your night class that finished early, the setting sun glints off a nearby car. Inside the car you see a sobbing woman. Thinking fast, you write your number on a whiteboard. You honk at her, and display the digits. She glances, hesitates a moment, then dials. Ring ring.	6
