[WP] Lots of inanimate objects were replaced by people with a similar name over night (E.g. a door mat is now a guy called Matt laying on the floor). They behave just like their respective object did, but talk occasionally. Everyone treats them like the objects too. Only the protagonist is aware.

[WP] you wake up to find that all of your furniture has transformed into people. they don't acknowledge this: where a coat hanger used to be is now a slim person holding your jacket. The piano is now a man kneeling and singing notes when you touch his back. The ceiling lamp? A kid with a flashlight.

[WP] in your family, everyone can verbally communicate with something that doesn't normally talk. Your father can talk to trees. Your mother can talk to dogs. Your sister can talk to water. You can talk to stones. You are mocked for this: until you realise that this applies to ANYTHING made of rock.

The only connection between them: 1 railroad, its train operated by you. 1 Rule: Never stop outside of the walls.
