[WP] You were trying to learn enough so you'd know too much to get rid of, but you overshot. Now you know too much to be allowed to live. That's a very fine line with almost no wiggle room.	11
[WP]You have no idea who the old guy is, but several of the museum security guards are walking in formation around him. You're in the east wing, in the new exhibit of Abstract Art, where you see him point at one of the paintings - mostly color blotches and angles - and say, "Wait! I know her!"	10
[WP]Sometimes I talk to Abby. She's a good girl and never hurt anybody. She likes to hear about sunshine, clouds, birdsong - outdooors. She can't go out since she got sick. She likes the flowers I bring her. She always wants me to move the stone, but I won't. You can't just let a vampire out.	10
[WP]It's simple really. Who can learn what the Beast knows? Only one who has no preconceptions or expectations of the world that can be broken into madness by the deepest knowledge. And where can we find such a person? In the cradle. Granted, it's a mad plan. But sanity is for the weak.	9
[WP] you just woke up and got out of bed in a small suburban house. You're wearing pajamas. You're really not sure what to do next, since you've never been inside a building or worn clothes before. Did someone mistake you for a human?	9
[SP]Obviously, someone who must always tell the truth can never be trusted.	9
[WP] Up until her sister Mary introduced you, you never realized that Carol of the Bells and Christmas Carol are actually the same person.	8
[WP] The defendant is on trial for subverting a musical paradigm. Most of the testimony has been instrumental, though some was accompanied vocals or a capella. You're the court reporter. It's your job to write the song about this case.	8
[WP] The dinosaurs were assassinated. Well, technically one of them was assassinated. It's best not to micromanage assassins, but be careful what you're hiring them for. Someone who doesn't live on the same planet may not see a reason to avoid using excessive force.	8
[WP] You have just been defictionalized. Our bewildering messed-up present is the dystopian setting of an alternate-history farce where you are a character. Problem is you've been defictionalized into the author's bewildering messed-up future and it isn't much better.	7
