[WP] Problem 1 - A poltergeist attaches itself to you. Problem 2 - You already have a guardian angel, so now two entities follow you everywhere. Problem 3 - Your angel and your ghost end up getting along really well. Too well.	25
[WP] This is how the story begins: “His eyebrow kept twitching.” This is how it ends: “The footprints would fade in time.” Tell us the story.	25
[WP] Your time machine functions perfectly, arriving deep in the Jurassic Period. You see various dinosaurs out of the thick windows, and you excitedly open the hatch. As you step out, your excitement turns to confusion when, instead of hearing roars and growls, you hear dozens of conversations.	17
[WP] They didn’t bother attacking earth; that was too messy. Instead they unfolded a hundred thousand kilometer wide sheet of material, a short distance out in space, to block the sun’s light. Then they waited.	16
[WP] A new mineral, labeled “Solarrium”, is discovered deep beneath Papua New Guinea. It can harness almost all energy from sunlight. Earth’s power issues are solved, along with most climate concerns. However, history books will later mark this as the single worst turning point in human history.	10
[WP] The king wants a storyteller. You are a prisoner, and the king is offering freedom to whoever has the best story that takes under a minute to tell (200 words or less). What is your tale?	10

[WP] The Man Behind The Curtain did wonderful things in Oz. But sadly, that failed. So he moved on and used his special-effects skills to create a giant eye at the top of a tower in a place called Mordor. That went well at first, but ultimately failed too. Undeterred, he moved on to a third project.	4
