[WP] Walking through Sleepy Hollow one night, you hear a loud neigh. Suddenly a ghost horse appears, along with a rider who promptly falls off. You prepare to flee, before he looks up and drunkenly slurs "Heyyy... got any smokes?" You sigh. It's the Legless Horseman.	31
[WP] The infantry wins battles, but it's the logistics core that wins the war. Not because of their ability to supply the force, but because logisticians are the most elite special forces troops in the military. As a soldier, you learn this the hard way when you file a request for new stationery.	31
[WP] You are at a trivia night at the local pub, but all of the history questions seem to refer to events that haven't happened yet. Confusingly, everyone else seems to know all the answers, and are baffled as to why you don't.	30
[WP] It’s been two weeks since The Event and the world is trying to come to terms with the new order. Life without the Internet will be difficult, but mankind will find a way. For you, the problem is more immediate—you hope that no one realises you were the person who typed “google” into Google.	30
[WP] You are a pirate, and after being captured on the high seas, you’re left alone on a deserted island. What your aggressor didn’t realise is that you’re an introvert, and the island is your idea of paradise. When rescuers come, you go to great lengths to prevent them from finding you.	30
[WP] To win the War Against Humanity, the machines send a few small robots back in time to assassinate the future human leader while he is still a child. But the robots—a cowboy and spaceman—become self aware, and start a new life as the child’s favourite toys.	30
[WP] The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse come to strike down the rulers of Earth, those who have enslaved others to their will and show no respect for their environment. But the cats refuse to cede their power and instead prepare for war.	30
[WP] You have a habit of accidentally summoning supernatural beings that want to kill you, like by saying “Bloody Mary” three times to a mirror or watching a video about a little girl and a well. But you don’t know this because you also have one very busy—and slightly annoyed—guardian angel.	29
[WP] A prophecy states that you will one day save the world, but only if you never hear of the prophecy. The rest of the world knows but goes to great lengths to ensure they keep it a secret. That’s all good except Uncle Bob let it slip when you were 8 and he got drunk at the family Christmas party.	29
[WP] You are a bandit in a fantasy world, and you go through the motions of mugging travellers, but your heart isn’t really in it. You just like the way that you get to meet new people, if only for a short while.	29
