[WP] - The Secret - Your wife has always had a secret she wouldn’t share. One day, you’re at the store and she runs into an old acquaintance, a woman twice her age. They exchange harmless small talk and part ways. Then she turns to you, “I have to tell you what happened when I was a kid.”	5
[WP] Last Night - It’s 9am and 12 hours have just passed in an instant. You’re sitting straight up, your wife next to you, just where she was last night. Groggy, you ask, “what happened?”. Pale, in tears, the last thing she says for a month is “you don’t remember, do you?” ... then the dreams start.	5
[WP] Yes, I contracted the virus, and immediately started the timer on my watch... 2 hours to live. Now I lay here, 90 seconds left, at death’s doorstep. An ordinary person would have wallowed in self pity until they met their demise, but not me. This is the story of how I just saved the world.	4
[WP] Global warming is for real and no one is denying it. Sea level has been rising 3-4 inches a day for 10 years. Coastal towns are gone, and the population is a fraction of what it used to be as people move inland and to higher elevations. Finally, this morning, the water reaches your doorstep.	4
[WP] Unlikely Hero - 0.01% of the population now has super powers, but those “super” powers are all super lame. I’m one of those people, and I just saved the day with the unmatched ability to (superpower). Let me explain...	3
[WP] They’re in their 40’s now, but that didn’t stop them from banding together one last time to win at all costs. It’s down to penalty shots in the final game, and Charlie Conway is up first. The crowd starts chanting... “quack. Quack. QUACK!” His stick cracks against the ice, and hits the puck.	2
[WP] They hear all. They see all. If they don’t like something you say, they can have it unsaid. If they don’t like something you do, they can undo it. Break the rules too many times, they’ll remove you from this world. They’re known only as The Admins, and today, they have you in their sights.	2
[WP] As I lay there bloody, defeated, I knew he had won. He towered over me, pointing the tire iron at my skull. “You were wrong. Respect should be given, not earned.” As he swung the weapon down towards me, my life flashed before my eyes. It’s amazing what you remember, and learn, in that instant.	1
[WP] Discovery - I realized at that moment he had been killed for it. The planet he discovered, the one in the photo he had taken via the Hubble Telescope, has a very clear satellite, apparently in orbit, right next to it.	1
[WP] Tracking Shot - The basketball, the full-court, last ditch attempt at a game winning basket, sat suspended, 30ft in the air over half court. The crowd stared in wonder, but wonder turned to gasps of fear when the crowd saw what was happening above the Jumbotron.	1
