[WP] You are an assassin with a strict moral code. You’re the best there is but you assess each job very carefully and if you believe the target does not deserve to die, you go after the one who employed you.	12940
[WP] An entire office block is populated by aliens disguised as humans on a mission to study our behaviour. None of them are aware of each other and think they are the only alien there. As a result they are amazed that human behaviour is so similar to their own. Then a real human gets a job there.	12172
[WP] After mastering lucid dreaming you find you have complete control over other people’s dreams too. You can choose what they dream of down to the tiniest detail and even join them without them realising you’re actually real. Their subconscious is your playground. Hope they were nice to you.	7259
[WP] There’s a new team of superheroes and a new team of super villains in town. All are completely inept at their jobs. The heroes always fail to save the day but that’s ok because the villains always screw up. The public is mostly unaffected and tolerates the daily almost-drama that unfolds.	4900
[WP] In a post-apocalyptic world a middle-aged couple (or ex-couple) take a bittersweet nostalgic walk through what’s left of all the places they used to go to when they were first dating	145
[WP] Some agnostics create The Church of Maybe, where people of all religions can meet to discuss possibilities. The one rule is, you can’t say your way is the definitive way. Maybe you’re right, maybe you’re not. It starts as a joke. It gets popular.	137
[WP] You have been sent to assassinate someone. However, as you are lining up the shot you notice that the target and everyone around them seem to want you to do this. They never acknowledge you directly but they almost seem to be helping you. The target willingly becomes more vulnerable and waits.	126
[WP] You’re being stalked by a monster that is scared or maybe even harmed by the dark. You’ll be safe as long as you stay in the shadows but if you emerge into the light for even a second it’s all over.	101
[WP] In the future we have Storybots. These follow randomly selected people around and influence their lives to follow a narrative that is broadcast live to audiences. Every bot has a genre clearly marked on it. People targeted by romcom bots are all too happy to take part. Others are not so lucky.	87
[WP] You are a grim reaper working on the Final Destination Team (affectionately named after their favourite comedy). Your job is to get the people who cheat death. To make it interesting, you and the other reapers try to outdo each other by setting up increasingly creative and hilarious deaths.	82
