[WP] Your toddler was a very calm baby, always laughing. At 2, they expressed their joy by yelling HAPPY, and it made everything brighter and ecstatic. Their first tantrums, however, were just as effective at manipulating their environment. Today, at 10, they just yelled HATRED. You feel a rumbling.

[WP] you wake up in a dark room. As you look around, you see you are surrounded by at least 150 men, all in their 40s. They’re not moving, just sitting still. You take a step back and whisper to yourself, “I’m scared.” SUDDENLY, they all collectively turn to you and chant, “HI SCARED, I’M DAD!”

[WP] A science community is dumbfounded. After experiments on neural technology go awry, a working “mini-brain” is created, able to work muscles, create new organs and much more. One day, you see it flex and contract its muscles as if in pain, and even though it has no mouth, you hear it scream.

[WP] the year is 2067. Your team of astronauts have come within no-return of a *local* black hole. You, as the main data collector, are the closest to the hole, and suddenly notice that your coworkers are moving and talking slower and slower. You have fallen into the event horizon, describe it.

[WP] One day, time stops, but everyone is still conscious; they can’t age, move, or communicate, but everyone knows that time is passing. It’s been 5 years, and time has just restarted out of the blue.
