[WP] You’re on a spacefaring colony-ship the length of a planet. You live at the back of the ship, and something at the front has gone wrong. A system has gone critical, causing a chain reaction to systematically destroy the ship, but destruction won’t reach you for a while.	36
[WP] A witch and her servant familiar (a cat who can temporarily shapeshift into a human) have a falling out, and the cat runs away. You find the cat and, thinking it's just a stray, take it in. The cat hides it's true nature from you for as long as it can.	36
[WP] You've always been proud of your garden, but were surprised when an impossibly large flower bud grew. Pictures of the flower go viral; both friends and strangers tune into your updates on the bud. Then it blooms. The petals open, and after seeing what's inside, you wish you'd never gone public.	36
[WP] For years, you've had nightmares and sleep paralysis about a large shadow looming over you, always watching. Walking down the street one day, you trip and fall into the road, right in front of a bus. At the last moment, the shadow appears and stops the bus in it's tracks. Then it smiles at you.	36
[WP] You’re a veteran wasteland survivor. During a scavenging trip somewhere, you come across someone frozen in cryosleep, and you wake them up. They are some kind of researcher, and are unreasonably excited to get out and start researching all the mutated plants and animals of the apocalypse.	36
[WP] When people do bad things, give into vices, hurt other, etc. they physically become more demon-like. The opposite is true of good deeds, which make you look more angelic. It's easy to tell what kind of person someone is by looking at them, except for you. For you, the effect is reversed.	36
[WP] You’re just an approachable person, right? Whether it’s friends, family, or strangers, people seem to feel comfortable talking to you about their problems. One day you find yourself seated next to a military general on a flight. He casually starts discussing top secret information with you.	36
[WP] You follow a truck with a DO NOT FOLLOW sign. It never leaves town, but after a short time, you find yourself in an area you don’t recognize. You stop following the truck and try to get home, but you can’t seem to find the way.	36
[WP] You're one of the most feared space pirates of the century, with friends, enemies, and rivals across countless star-systems. You're not sure how it ended up like this. All you wanted were the best ethically sourced fabrics, dyes and jewelry the galaxy had to offer for your new fashion line.	35
[WP] In an old encyclopedia, you find a different plant pressed and preserved between every page, and a cryptic handwritten note on the inside of the cover.	35
