[WP] You're writing your latest story, and you're finally at the point of your heroes final battle with the big bad. "One way or another, this ends at last" is what you write. "There's no way I'm doing that" is what is written on the paper, along with a description of them glaring at you.	1
[WP] One can revive from death if you defeat death in a game of chess. For millennia, this allowed only the rare genius to return. But with increasingly east access to Chess AIs like Stockfish, the death rate has dropped precariously low. Something must be done.	1
[WP] The question of whether a teletransporter kills you is interesting, but abstract. Until the day a rich man uses one and his heirs start appealing to philosophy to get their inheritance. This is going to be a hard case to adjudicate- not least because you teletransported here yourself	1
[WP] As the world's greatest hero, you and your team have fought world-eaters, dark gods, alien armadas and reality warpers, and always saved the day. But now, you face your greatest enemy- a superhuman with the power to pierce plot amour. How will you get out of this one?	1
[WP] As a superhero team, you fight the good fight! But what is the good fight? Alas, after studying philosophy, each member reached a radically different answer. It's really beginning to cause issues.	1
[WP] There is not one god, but a million little ones. Gods whose world stretches only to the banks of a river, or a single family's house, or a clearing in a forest. And so when the times comes to the gods to end "the world"? There is not one apocalypse, but a million little ones.	1
[WP] As supervillains go you're frankly small fry, never doing more then petty thefts and harmless annoyances. Which is why you're very concerned when the worlds greatest superhero names you, not any of the sadistic monsters or world enders, their Archenemy.	1
[WP] After 10,000 years the Colony Ship finally approaches its destination. While many are thrilled, others see the ship as their home, not some planet they've never seen chosen by people millennia dead. Debate risks becoming civil war as the choice to land or move on gets ever closer...	1
[WP] You've been alone during lockdown, but you've been talking online at least. When it lifts, you go outside and find the virus killed everyone. Months ago. Your phone rings. You're getting a call.	1
[WP] The rivalry is wearing thin. The villain's absurd doomsday devices are always stopped before they do any harm, then they escape from prison before the ink is dry. So when you're in yet another volcano lair with yet another giant laser, you blurt out "look, can we do something else today?"	1
