[WP] You’re in a strange darkness. You hear a voice, “Don’t panic, but you’ve been possessed by a demon. You’re trapped in your own mind. Do NOTHING. I need to leave you while I fight it. Just wait.” But in the darkness you see a door…	8	WritingPrompts

[WP] Do you have a Masters degree in Fear. You’ve been thinking about getting a PhD, but the interview process this month has been really interesting and you are thinking about going into private industry.	6	WritingPrompts
[WP] “But we made a peaceful landing! The humans reacted incorrectly!” Next to him, Chon set his drink back down on the bar table. “Z’farr, tell the others what ‘peaceful landing’ means to your people.” Z’farr looked perplexed. “We did not sterilize the planet from space...?”	5	WritingPrompts
