[WP] "Look, we'll find it. It's around here somewhere. It didn't just grow legs and walk awa- oh my god"	12
[WP] You can't control time, but you can control your perception of it. Only your brain is affected. There are consequences. For example, slowing time means your body will try to pump blood at the a normal rate, which could lead to your heart pumping too many times per second, and exploding.	12
[WP] You've led a simple, unimpressive farm life. Nothing big has ever happened. You were homeschooled because the nearest town was too far away. You barely know anybody besides your family. One day, you were kidnapped by covert secret agents. You hear one of them say "They have to be the one."	11
[WP] The judicial system has been replaced by a big wheel. Spin the wheel at your trial to get a random punishment. A third of the spaces are Not Guilty, and the rest are any imaginable punishment. This happens for every single felony/criminal trial.	11
[WP] You're a superhero who is admired by all. You are glad to offer your services to vanquish any threat in the city. All someone has to do is call your name and you'll be there ASAP. The citizens start to abuse this, calling you for finding their keys or asking for relationship advice.	11
[WP] A scientist comes up with a theory called the Universal Time Paradox Law. The law states that if you time travel to a time that you were alive in, one of you is guaranteed to die. The scientist was killed by a falling tree the next day, but was later found back in his lab.	11
[WP] The famous Oracle of Delphi in ancient Greece was never actually magic. The Temple of Apollo had no ventilation and there was a large amount of hydrocarbon gas coming from the limestone surrounding it. Every answer for the questions of desperate Greeks were the ramblings of a stoned psychic.	10
[WP] Mimes are actually magicians that turn things invisible. People think they're just really good at acting, but whatever they're pretending to do is actually real. One mime goes rogue and uses his powers for evil, breaking the mime code.	10
[WP] You're the parent of a child who recently gained superpowers. You, your spouse, and your brother-in-law are convinced that one of you is going to die soon, since the death of a relative is the most common and cheapest way to create drama and tragedy in most superhero stories.	10
[WP] After years of research and adventuring, you've tracked down an ancient trickster god now known as Writers Block. You must defeat them for the good of all artists. They're the culmination of self-doubt and the absence of ideas. They're the reason I don't know how to finish this prompt.	9
