[WP] We thought they were angels when they came from the skies. And they were so majestic, people walked right up to them in awe even as their brains melted out of their eyes. Mankind is almost extinct now. But now, we are saved. The demons have come.

[WP] The aliens have wiped out the human armies. They are attacking almost every major city in the planet. But there is one thing neither they nor we expected: their complete helplessness when faced with crazy humans armed with knives and baseball bats. You are the first but the world will follow.

[WP] "I wish I had the ability to fly without wings." A week later, you consider that maybe you should have been clearer in your wish, as gravity, friction, and basic principles of physics fail you, letting you clip through skyscrapers and the Earth slowly but steadily begins to leave you behind.

[WP] Cthulu and the Devil are feuding, fighting each other with all their strength and armies. The point of contention is you, the perfect host body with which they'll start their respective apocalypses. You're having none of this.

[WP] Any tech advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic. Your company specializes in paranormal technology, and you've worked for them for years. To your shock, you find out that you're not human. You never have been.

[WP] "There's something behind you." Those words have haunted you your entire life. Sporadically, people catch glimpses of it, describing it as an old woman, a big lobster, or cthulhu. Everyone is creeped out by you but you've never seen it yourself until you took an xray during the eclipse.

[WP] The Sun is lonely. It manifests itself as a child who one day comes to Earth. It makes friends and goes on adventures. You have to convince the Sun to go back, cuz without it in the sky, night is eternal, the ecosystem is collapsing, and the entire world is spinning off wildly into deep space.

[WP] You have an annoying and creepy little brother. He repeats everything you say and do. One day, you wake up paralyzed in bed. Your brother walks in. He's wearing your body. You're wearing his. He says "At last, my time has come." He leaves.

[WP] "Greetings human! The test you see before you will determine your future. If you pass, you will have the chance to serve the glorious Kthkph Empire, perhaps as a soldier or a slave. Glorious! Exciting! If you fail, you will be eaten, also thus serving the glory of the empire! Good luck."

[WP] One by one, our cities rotted. Eaters of the Dead, Flesh Weavers, and the Screaming Titans are the least of our worries. We lost London to the sea, when giant arms and appendages dragged them into the deep. We had no choice. We unleashed our children. Our servants. The Tickers.
