[WP] For a billion years it's been trying to kill us. It's baleful blasts chip away at our great shield, slowly burning away our life force, scorching our skins, and boiling away our fluids. A billion years, and soon it will kill us and take back what we took. The Sun will take back the Moon.

[WP] There a book in the library in the fiction section. It's a story about a monster that always escapes. You find that when you fail to finish reading it, a later book you open will continue the story. This effect is steadily moving to the history and non fiction sections.

[WP] We have no choice. In order to save some humans from their fate, we will have to kill them. While scaring them as much as possible. While pretending to be other dead humans. I believe they call them "ghosts".

[WP] The all powerful superhero isn't a hero at all. Or rather, every 20 years he switches personalities to become a darker, crueler, homicidal version of himself. You're the reporter who just figured it out and today is the last day before the dark phase.

[WP] There's something in the sky. Everyone sees it but no one can describe it. Not because it had no features, but because they are unable to talk about it. Not even the shape of it. All everyone can agree on is that its big, its terrible. And it's coming closer.

[WP] The aliens rejoiced when they discovered they could clone the long extinct human species from their fossils, to populate an exclusive theme park. That would have been bad enough, but a horsefly got caught up in the mixture. They should be afraid. They should be very afraid.

[WP] You're eating freshly baked chocolate chip cookies at the kitchen table when your grandma spots the mailman coming from the window. Calmly, she tells you to finish your cookies, reaches into a cabinet and pulls out a sniper rifle, complete with a bipod and scope. Grandma no.
