[WP] "Immortals are a strange lot - they'll let you beat them mercilessly, enduring horrific abuse with seeming indifference. What they don't tolerate is harming innocent mortals - that's when they're most terrifying. They may just deliver a punishment worse than you can possibly imagine."	59
[WP] You stare in shock and disbelief as you see your patient furtively glancing around, trying to sneak out of the hospital. Yes, the same one that died on the ER table despite open-chest cardiac massage. They're trying to pretend they didn't see you.	58
[WP] You're a best-selling author whose dirty secret is that the protagonist of your long-running series is really someone you see through visions of a parallel reality. Two months ago you saw her sudden tragic death - yet here you are staring at her though the peephole of your door.	40
[WP] The mugger pulled the trigger from only a few feet away and you knew it would kill you. Time stopped and although you couldn't move at all, you saw a person in ridiculous clothing appear and step forward. They carefully push the bullet to the side, wink at you, then vanish .. and time resumes.	39
[WP] Your regular Airbnb guest isn't human but does an "ok" job of faking it. Very polite and clean, they have a 5-star rating, and their glowing reviews have really helped. The problem? The rude not-very-secret secret agent "guest" trying to expose them. You refuse to lose your superhost status!	38
[WP] Late for work, you rush out of your apartment ... and find that outside there is nothing but unremarkable featureless flat dirt as far as you can see in every direction.	32
[WP] "Better you than me", you mutter as you sling your AK47 and crawl out of hiding. You try not to gag as you navigate around the steaming corpse of the giant dragon. The horrible screams and sounds of cracking bones and tearing flesh still ring in your ears and you shiver.	32
[WP] One night while drunk, you accidentally discover that, while there is no such thing as magic wands, there are definitely such things as magic forks.	28
[WP] "No more pencils no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks - now we hide and how we pray that the things with hooks will go away"	24
[WP] After a some hours in flight you get up to use the lavatory. On your way back to your seat, you push through the curtain only to see a long row of seats and another curtain at the end. Pushing through that, you see still more seats and a curtain even further away.	22
