[WP]: Your uncle spent 25 years in prison, for "being too much of a good friend." You've always wondered how that happened but you've never asked for the story. But he's telling it now.	14
[WP]: The worst thing about your patient is that his delusions of grandeur seem to be contagious. You are the only one who can spend any time around him without being overwhelmed by what a marvellous and spectacular person he (and everyone else) thinks he is.	12
[WP]: Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, was buried with an army of terracotta soldiers so that they may serve him in the afterlife. You were not planning on similar results when you jokingly requested to be buried with your exensive collection of action figures	12
[WP]: Humans and human spaceships are very bright and obvious as a form of aposematism: to advertise to predators that eating one is a very bad idea	12
[WP]: Stepping into the Forbidden Passage is punishable by death. No-one ever goes there, and nobody who goes there is ever found alive. You, for your own reasons, step in. There's 12 people in there having a dinner party.	12
[WP]: To the surprise and amusement of his peers and the rest of the coffee shop, a drama class kid seizes a tea pot, and holding it like a skull, recites "Alas, poor Yorick" with fluency and passion. A confused crowd cheers, and you realise you've seen this kid before. Back in 1689.	11
[WP]: You're grocery shopping with your family, just like on any random regular day. A woman you've never met before discreetly hands you a quick, scribbled note. "BLINK TWICE IF YOU NEED HELP." You look at her again, and she doesn't seem to be joking.	11
[WP]: Magic takes a toll on a person, ageing the body. By physical appearance alone, it's often impossible to tell apart a 50-year-old warlock who has been moderate and cautious all his life, and a 24-year-old absolutely drunk with power.	10
[WP]: After The Evil was stopped, you thought that the unsettling, ominous omens would stop. Instead, they just got strange. You come home to find that your bathtub is full of sour cream, and now you have to figure out what that means.	10
[WP]: Rage demons are not as bad as they are commonly thought. Wrath is a natural emotion, when something precious, worthy of protection and care is wounded. Rage demons are family demons, who were lost, abused or misplaced.	10
