[WP] In a world of magic, everyone has a familiar. They are summoned when children turn twelve. They usually summon a newt or a bird, even a rare snake. You were the first to have summoned a cat. More than that, you summoned two, identical, white cats. Ten years later, you stand before the gods.	7
[WP] You managed to push the boy out of the way in time. As the truck approches in slowmotion, you are content. The inky black of death wraps around you as the truck hits. You wake up with a start, sitting in front of what looks like your desk at work. "Wait, something's wrong", you think.	6
[WP] You've done it! You finally figured out how magic users do it. You, one who can't use magic. "Was it always this simple?" "was it always just elementary school level math equations?" The hair on your neck stands up and you feel like you're being watched.	6
[WP] Adventurers always attack the Tomb Guardian, never taking time to examine the situation. They have all died as a result. You are more brains than brawn, fortunately. You decide to try talking to the guardian, rather than just attacking. You are quite surprised when it replies in English.	6
[WP] Turns out that your voice, not your face, is what needs to be recorded to steal your soul. You always got persmission to record peoples voices for your interviews. You've been interviewing people for twenty years. Today is the day you decide to cash in those souls.	6
[WP] They speak to you. The empty things in the void between. Just words and garbled sounds. Today was the first time they've spoken to you loudly and in complete sentences, not whispers and words. Their words frighten you because they are a warning meant to save you from something else.	6
[WP] The soul should not remember it's past lives and this by design. If a soul lived in a world with eldritch horrors, those horrors will start to appear. Even if the current life is in a place devoid of them. You've started having dreams of another life and see shadows following you in the day.	5
[WP] You wake up from a cold sweat. A nightmare about living in a world that is a copy of this one, but without animals and people, but with a lingering prescence, that maintains the copy, always out of sight. You walk to the window and pull open the shades. "Oh, right, it wasn't a nightmare".	4
[WP] You were delayed by battle. The only way for you to reach the city in time to warn them of what's coming, is to take a dangerous path. You are about to find out why no one travels through the Valley of Shadows in deep winter.	2
[WP] The first Mars colony was a colossal disaster. That was 20 years ago. For the first time since the disaster, NASA recieved a signal from the colony we thought was destroyed. The message was only four words, sent in binary. "Home, coming are we".	2
