[WP] 'Something's not right.' You keep seeing that phrase everywhere. On a billboard, in a text, on a roadsign, graffiti on a wall, etc. When you blink the writing is gone, replaced by something normal, innocuous. It's unsettling. Then you hear someone nearby say it quietly: "Something's not right."	303
[EU] A Blue's Clues episode but it's a horror murder mystery. Bloody hand prints mark clues instead of blue paw prints, etc. Steve is still his normal, eager, enthusiastic self, and is the only character who isn't horrified at what's going on.	300
[WP] A popular web-novelist has a running serial about a murderer, but the killer is painted as a relatable protagonist. Going off a gut feeling, a detective begins investigating the stories as a possible admission of real crimes. When the next issue comes out there's a new antagonist: a detective.	299
[WP] You travel the galaxy using your alien tech to read the 'Value Potential' of different individual beings. On a remote and primitive planet you find a human, a member of the local sapient species, with a massive 'VP' rating and are ordered to stay and monitor it closely, much to your chagrin.	299
[WP] A damaged, and apparently abandoned alien ship crash landed in the desert. Being about the size of an entire city, it wasn't something the world governments could hide or even quarantine, and so explorers, scientists, and raiders from all over the world come to explore the wreckage.	296
[WP] You have a magic gun that fires EXACTLY what you need, but not necessarily what you THINK you need. It can fire bullets, rockets, arrows, money, bandaids, sharks, rope, a car, or even a 4-course meal. Anything, but until you pull the trigger, you never know exactly what's going to come out.	289
[WP] We put up a good fight, but the alien invaders stomped us in the war for our solar system and humanity has been enslaved. At the end of the war we uncovered information that our attackers have other enemies out there in the galaxy, and you, the last free human, have been sent to seek their aid.	270
[WP] It turns out, coffee is a dangerous parasitic plant that has ravaged much of the galaxy, normally taking over the mind and body of a host that has ingested it. Earthlings are uniquely immune, and humans begin hunting the galaxy for new coffees, each bean differentiated by its host species.	267
[SP] Vampires are just 'Werebats,' but never bring that up. They hate it.	262
[WP] A corrupt CEO catches a modern day Robin Hood attempting to steal from his company. Impressed with the vigilante's abilities despite his lack of resources, the CEO offers to fund his efforts, as long as he only steals from his competitors.	250
