[WP] You find yourself in purgatory, you will be forever stuck unless you write that book that "you are totally going to write". The book will be published in the world of the living. | "I'm gonna need Internet access."
The pale, ghostly figure blinks at my demand, its translucent body softly flickering in and out of existence.

[WP] A police commissioner has become over-reliant on the services of mystery writers, psychics, magicians, reformed con artists, meddling kids, men in bat costumes, and assorted other consultants, and must now explain themselves to an appalled Mayor. | Johan coughed as he entered the smoky room.

[WP] Wizard duels are highly formalized. You state what spell you are casting, so your opponent has a chance to react. This makes it a battle of magical power and wit, rather than reaction speed. Your magic has always been weak. But you discovered a curious spell called simply: "Gun." | "Wizard Alexander", the judge said. "As the Challenger you will strike first. What spell will you utilize?"

[WP] "No man can kill me!" the monster roars. You know the prophecy. You intend to buy your companions time to flee, sacrificing yourself. You are just as surprised as everyone else when you manage to kill the monster. | "Huh. That was anti-climactic." And turn back to the gear I had dropped. Checking the various empty bags I would be expected to carry once the party looted the monster's lair. Magdalen the magnificent, real name Roy, came over to me as I checked to make sure the tins for supper were still available.
"So uhm, Richard."... | It was over in mere moments.
The monster came down, my sword went up. And somehow, through luck or fate, it found the only weak spot in the monster's scales.

[WP] Your teacher asked you to demonstrate some magic in class. After you finish your demonstration the room is completely silent until your teacher asks "Do you have *any* idea what you just did?" | I walked up to the center of the classroom, where demonstrations were held in both magical practice and theory. All around me were students, most of them from here in the city, not a country bum like myself. They'd probably have more experience than I did, so I decided to see how much I could do.

They cook extra food for you and your other roommates frequently, pay you their share of the bills on time, and even help to clean the apartment. They are the perfect roommate. | Greg walked in the door with a long sigh. He looked beat, not mentally tired from work but physically beat as if he'd been at war all day. Blood leaked from a cut on his cheek, one eye was swollen completely shut, and I could've sworn that front tooth of his wasn't chipped yesterday.
"Ah! Some day huh?" Greg let out ... | At first I thought nothing of Jeremy's frequent disappearances. He'd suddenly up and leave the flat without warning, sometimes being gone for days at a time, and when he returned he'd seem harried and stressed.
