[WP] Super powers are common, but super heroes are rare. It turns out most people don't actually want to face death or dismemberment on a daily basis, including you. You enjoy the 9-5 and having a 401k, but my god that government recruiter won't take no for an answer.

[WP] We were taught the Sun didn't make noise. We were wrong. Like TV static in an empty room, it did make a sound, a sound so ever present that we didn't realize it was there until it wasn't. That day humanity learned the terror of a silent sky, and the reason it made sound in first place.

[WP] A day-in-the-life as a lawyer that specializes in the supernatural. Airtight contracts for genie wishes. Unambiguous purchase orders with faerie craftsmen. Divorce court for vampires with centuries-old prenups. The hag-in-the-lake who is claiming squatters rights against the new golf course...

[WP] You give a perfunctory, polite knock and the ancient door creaks open. Empty sockets peer down at you. "ᴡʜᴏ ᴅᴀʀᴇs ᴅɪsᴛᴜʀʙ ᴍᴇ?" says a voice like the slamming of coffin lids. "Hello, sir. Your time is up, and I'm here to collect... on your rather extensive unpaid taxes." "ᴏʜ, ɪ... ᴜᴍ... ᴅᴀᴍᴍɪᴛ."

[WP] You have the power of anti-procrastination. Didn't study for your midterm because you were out partying? Not your problem! Looks like past you is going to have to pull an all-nighter with a hangover. Today, however, after a lifetime of dealing with your shit, past you is looking for revenge.
