[WP] A god is powered by sacrifice. But all the slaughters of humanity are nothing next to the trillions slain by lions and wolves. The animal gods are primal and eons old, and now they've taken notice of us. And our fleeting deities will not be able to stop them.	107
[WP] Superheroics have been outlawed. There's a lot of debate about whether this is a good idea or not, but that's not your problem. Your problem is going up to the guy who can single-handedly level a city fighting the killer mechbot and telling him he has to stop.	105
[WP] As time passed, it soon became clear FTL was impossible. Wormholes, warp bubbles, inertialess drives- under the laws of physics, they simply weren't allowed. So this is the story of how humanity became physics criminals.	104
[WP] In the far future, we've mastered teleportation. While some raise the question of whether a teletransporter actually kills you when you use it, the technology is too useful for such abstract concerns to matter. Except today, where you find yourself haunted by dozens of ghosts of yourself.	102
[WP] The divine spark of humanity prevents permanent demonic possession. For a demon to get a true host in our world, you'd need a mind not created by God. A person born only from human hands. In other news, apparently the first true AI just went online.	97
[WP] With your expert eye, it's clear this photo has been extensively photoshopped- the features of the person in, the clothes they're wearing, the place they're in. All have been altered. Which, given it's a selfie you took a few seconds ago, raises some question.	96
[WP] As finally cast the spell to bring back your lost love, you are too relieved to notice a minor maths error in the rite. It's only from the awestruck and incoherent news stories that you realise what you did. 92 billion people have died in history, by best count. And you just revived them all.	95
[WP] It's easy to scorn those bitten by zombies who try to hide it, dooming the rest of the group. But now you've been bitten. You have 48 hours before you transform, and making the smart choice turns out to be a lot harder then you thought.	94
[WP] Today, you learned your child was replaced by a changeling as a baby. But this strange inhuman child is still the child you loved their whole life. And this person at your door that you once birthed is still a stranger. You have a choice, but it is a harder choice then the folktales imply.	92
[WP] As a seasoned occult investigator, you can tell there's something off about this town. There's no sign of any cult behavior, dark gods or sinister conspiracies. This small, remote town seems perfectly normal, and you're not quite sure what to do with that.	90
