[WP] You always thought you'd be a hero if you had powers and when you become the first human with powerful telekinesis, you try to help. But the more you try to help, the more you find out that certain political forces are built to keep people helpless. Suddenly, being a villain seems appropriate.

[WP] You got your wish for immortality and invulnerability alright, but you were also sent back 150 million years, cursed to wait that long just to hear another voice... And yet- this vibrant, virgin world is yours to explore, fearlessly, for near eternity. Is it such a curse?

[WP] In the post-apocalypse, there are enough abandoned corners of the wasteland for the fey to return… and take new shapes for a new era of superstitions.

[WP] An experimental procedure allowed components of a deceased brain to be added to yours. But your brain was so damaged, they had to add a lot more than the essential portions. Now you're haunted by memories, temporal confusion, and the trauma of a dead man you've never met.

[WP] The aliens simply showed up one day, and told us they were “liberating us.” They said we were ruled by plutocrats. This was true, but they offered little transparency. They could not be denied access physically or digitally. But today, you got a sign of their true intentions.

[WP] It’s not that the military is useless in a world of super heroes and villains, its just that their method of getting the bad guy usually involves leveling a city block. Well a new villain just took out the three biggest heroes. Colonel, it’s your turn. Try to keep the death toll low...

[WP] The guards are in all white, so you forget they're there, against the white walls. They drug the water and ask the same questions every day as gentle classical music plays. They don't let you keep track of time- it's theirs to say. My mind is slipping. I should have taken forced labor.

[WP] "Fractal Space," a slightly misleading term for a "hyperbolic" fissure in space-time, attempts to self-correct by replicating the environment near the tear. This leads to labyrinthine passages to seemingly nowhere that can appear overnight. It is important to remain calm and find an exit.
