[WP] When you were kids, your identical twin drowned in a lake. Today, everyone - even people who wouldn't know about your twin - is calling you by their name. Freaked out, you called your mom and tried to explain the situation and your blood runs cold. She says you're the one who drowned.

[WP] You've just woken up, checked your phone, and the weather says today is supposed to be "Partly sunny, partly moony." It doesn't make sense until you actually leave your house to go to work. sure enough, the full moon is in the sky, clear as day, just like the sun.

[WP] You have just learned three things. 1. You are not a human, you're a merperson. 2. That 'cute little story' your parents told you about how your dad was fishing and accidentally pulled you out of the water as a baby is actually true. 3. This means you were technically kidnapped, not adopted.

[WP] You've got everything ready for vacation: snacks, passports, wife, kids, nephew, family pet, and a rental spaceship so you don't have to put intergalactic travel miles on your own. Everything is going well until you had to make a crash landing on the planet everyone stays away from - Earth.

[WP] They say the food at Long Pig's Diner is to die for, but frankly, you don't trust the place. Everyone else in town seems to be addicted to it, but something about the over-all air of the place leaves a bad taste in your mouth no matter how much people try to persuade you to try it.

[WP] Fun fact: Sometimes black eyed children can be adopted by the humans they attempt to target. You were one of them, but since your parents took you in all those years ago, you're pretty much just an average young adult at this point.

[WP] You've had a bad week. On Monday, you were walking home from work, when a black, windowless van pulled up next to you, and the next thing you know, you're waking up, strapped to a table, it's Thursday, and you're now a cyborg.

[WP] You are an identical triplet. When the three of you were kids and teens, you guys used to pull the switcheroo all the time. Now with one of you being married and being a parent, circumstances have required you guys to pull this off one last time for an entire weekend.

[WP] God has revealed themselves to the world. God is not a man. God is not a woman. God is a giant cat! And right now, there's a giant paw coming down from the sky, batting at anything that captures their interest.

[WP] You were a superhero. You gave up almost 11 years ago when your nemesis killed your sidekick - your only son. Now you work a 9-5 as you and your spouse raise your grandchildren (15, 12, and 10) after their mom also passed... But the city is in peril. You're the only hope!
