[WP] While teaching, you hear one of your exchange students swear in a different language. “What language was that, John?” you ask. “North Picene,” he says casually and goes back to coloring. Later that day, you stub your toe and repeat what he said. The offending chair leg crumbles to dust	125
[WP] You are a collector of mechanical clocks, despite society phasing them out over the years. Today a man appeared in your house out of thin air. “Sorry, it's the only anchor in this decade.
