[WP] A door is following you. It's not your imagination. You blink and it's in front of you, merged into the nearest wall in sight. You turn and it's behind you. When you look at it, you're paralyzed with dread. Lately something has been knocking on the other side. Banging when you ignore it.

[WP] I didn't know him. We didn't know anyone once we were masked. Our individuality was seen as undesirable in the army. I knew him from the way he moved. From the way he fought. He was always there to save my life. And when he died, I was there to scream, for he was a she. And she was my mother.

[WP] You always wanted to be a superhero like all of your friends. Someone told you that hanging around nuclear power plants was a cheap and dirty way to get one. It works. You have a power. Unfortunately it's the ability to create nuclear explosions at will.

[WP] There was once a world of Elves and Men. The Elves were blessed with beauty and longevity, while Men were cursed with mortality and hunger for power. Fearing the wickedness of Man, the Elves cast them out into another world. In time, each forgot the other. But today, the Gods reunite them both.

[WP] Earth's been under attack for generations now, but no one's noticed because you are secretly protecting it. Every time an alien race invades, you turn them into harmless animal versions of themselves and some scientist "discovers" a new species.

[WP] It's the ultimate end of the world scenario. Cities turned to glass. People turned into monsters. Reality bending then breaking. You have your own last stand. Your colleagues are holding off the monsters while you work up a cult ritual to reset the world.

[WP] The Laerti were pacifists, but that didn't mean they didn't fight dirty. They came to Earth and abducted fighting men and war machines to dump upon their enemies. We were their unwilling and unwitting first lines of defense for hundreds of years.
