[WP] In 2740, the Laser-Guided Lunar Elevator is completed, providing convenient travel to and from the moon. This isn't any old elevator though, it's more like a space-faring hotel, as the trip takes about two weeks. You and 10+ others have signed on for the maiden voyage. Hope nothing goes wrong.

[WP] Your grandmother always had a book of short, beautifully written poems, each one only a couple of lines long. Oddly, she forbid you to ever read the poems out loud. After she passed away, you took possession of the book, and finally read one of the poems out loud, accidentally casting a spell.

[WP] Everybody in the library is insane, but at least they all have a task, even if those tasks are twisted or futile. Finish a book that never ends no matter how many pages you read, organize a shelf of books that disappear and reappear at random, etc. You are the only one yet without a task.
