[WP] You live on a planet that revolves around two stars in a figure 8 orbit.

[WP] There’s a reason you shouldn’t look at the eclipse with your bare eyes, but it’s not that you’ll go blind. They don’t want you to know the real reason.	13

[WP] After many avoidable disasters, Smokey the Bear has lost his patience. Clearly, only HE can prevent forest fires, by eliminating the source of the danger himself. Write a story from his perspective, or from the perspective of the irresponsible campers he now mercilessly hunts.	13
