[WP] You are a seemingly normal person, but with one uncanny ability; to see other people’s true intent. You become famous, revered by spy agencies, loathed by politicians. One afternoon, you meet someone else with this ability, and the world becomes terrified of you. | "But did you see the peninsula splitting into war?" He asked, looking straightforward at a place that hovered between the center of my skull and right through the wall behind me.

One afternoon, you meet someone else with this ability, and the world becomes terrified of you. | They don't always believe me at first.
Why would they want to? When someone looks someone straight in the eye and tells them exactly what they're thinking, everything within them is hard wired to believe that it's just a coincidence. It's uncanny. It's unbelievable.
It started as a feeling. When I was a child my worl... | The world was ending, and only the Judge could save it.

[WP] You finally decided to clean out that closet you can't possibly stuff anything else in. Working through it, you come to a large duffel bag in the back corner. When you unzip it you see a perfectly preserved dead clone of you. | You get used to a lot of things on the space station. The weightlessness, the loneliness, the pervading sense of peace every time you looked out the silicate windows down onto Nimea… even the three minutes on average it takes for messages to be transmitted to the nearest base station. My daily updates are fired off one... | I started hauling out clothes that I still had from the third grade, a bloody knife, and some fingers along with it.

[WP] Humanity is close to discovering immortality, but you, a 900 year old alchemist, want to keep the secret to yourself. | **On the news today, they said scientists at MIT have managed to control nanotechnology to sustain human life far longer than natural. In effect, they said, humans could become immortal by 2040. From what I heard they plan on using nanobots – tiny little machines that run through your body and repair organs, create new... | Nicholas Flamel didn't think of toppling humanity in night. He didn't.

[WP] Your child's claim to have an imaginary friend goes from cute to frightening when you begin to see an unfamiliar person in all of your family photos. | I thought Claire was going insane. It's cute when your three year old daughter has an imaginary friend but Claire is twenty-three. Twenty-three year olds do not have imaginary friends.
Claire's been at med school and I haven't seen her for months. I was excited to see my baby girl again when she come home late March... | Is it time to get my eyes checked again? Am I going senile already? I don't remember Ben having any friends over for my anniversary party.

"What? He wins all the time!"
"Come on! He's just lucky as shit, there's no way he's gonna win this time- did you fucking bet *all of it?!*"

[WP] Sick of being lied to you beg the Gods for change and one takes pity on you. Now when people lie to you a little text box appears next to them that only you can see, with the lie, the truth, and their motive for lying. | I had an idea.
I turned on the TV. Switched to CSPAN.
There was Trump giving a speech.
As he spoke, the little text box to the right of his big orange head was filling with words. I had my note pad out, ready to write down the juiciest bits.
But the words filled the box too quickly, then at an almost incalculable r... | I’m not sure which god or gods did it, and they didn’t seem overly concerned with taking credit.

[WP] After you die, you're handed a book about your life. You open it, expecting a novel. Instead you get a "Choose your own adventure" book with all of the decisions you ever made, and every outcome they could have had. | In 1977 a couple of guys from my church in Texas were driving to Missouri to do some construction work on a religious retreat center. I begged them to let me come along and they didn't want to but I think our pastor or their wives convinced them because they gave in. While I was there a young woman came to visit from... | First, I went to all my worst moments. And it kept happening - "Why was there no choice here?"

No, I tell a lie.

Like a lodestone on my future.
