[WP] After two failed attempts on your life, you search the dark web and find there’s a hit out on you. It seems you forgot to return a book to your primary school library when you were young, and now they’re collecting with interest—which is weird, because the librarian is your mother.	25
[WP] Aliens read Sun Tzu and attempt to take over Earth by an indirect approach. Instead of fighting, they try to solve the world’s problems, forcing humanity to choose aliens as their rulers. But when they start work on their tenth major problem, they realise their mistake.	25
[WP] Bullets flew through the store as both sides tried to settle their argument with force. Nothing could stop them—not the risk of hurting bystanders, nor the police sirens in the distance. Not even when they noticed the mannequins starting to bleed.	25
[WP] Whoever pulled the sword from the stone would rule all of Camelot. But over time borders change, and on the day the sword is pulled free all that’s left of Camelot is a run down shopping mall.	25
[WP] You drag yourself up the steps of the tomb, face bloody, and panting with exhaustion. Up ahead you see it—a plaque with ancient text on it, the spell that will take care of all your worries. “This better be worth it,” you say, as you read the words in front of you. “Hakuna Matata?”	24
[WP] A man decides to give his entire fortune to charity and devote his life to religion. Impressed, God manipulates fate to ensure the man never becomes poor. Neither wants to be the one who gives up first.	24
[WP] It turns out that the reason your apple pie is so popular is because the recipe for the filling is actually the same as the recipe for a mild love potion. After dumping some of the leftovers in the trash last night, you now have a group of raccoons waiting outside your front door.	24
[WP] On the night of All Hallows’ Eve, the barrier between the Mortal and Spirit realms is at its weakest. Unfortunately for those seeking to communicate with the dead, it means a lot of spam calls get through.	24
[WP] You are the first human ever to sneeze and your cave buddies are starting to get nervous.	23
[WP] You accidentally drop a bag of skittles and a leprechaun appears. You grab him, and now the two of you are arguing over whether you’re entitled to his pot of gold after catching him at the end of a rainbow of flavours.	23
