K'Rax let out a sound Jeremy knew was supposed to be a laugh for K'Rax's species. "Everyone knows spaceships can't handle the strain of travelling in warpspace."

I was at work, having to clean the dressing room mirrors, when i had the idea "how weird would it be for my reflection to move out of sync from me." So, yeah. Have at it. | [WP] You're just going about your usual day when you walk by a mirror... and your reflection lags. | Hunched over and bleary-eyed, I made the journey out of my bed with last night’s bedside glass of water in the grip of my right hand.
But apparently my grip wasn’t tight enough, as the glass slipped and violently shattered on the timber floor.
I froze.
My eyes darted towards the left.
I couldn’t believe it.
No, i... | I took a step back and turned my body to the mirror. Did I just see that right or didn't I get enough sleep last night? I waved my arm around, trying to recreate the lagging motion I just saw, but my arm just went from left to right without any problems.

Gaval jolted upright, screaming. Looking down at himself, he quickly realized that his head was still attached.
"Ahhhh- oh hey I'm alive." He patted himself reassuredly. He stood up from the slab, glancing around at the now empty cathedral. "There's usually at least *someone* in here..."

The King's daughter just fell to her death and you have been selected | From the hallway, I can see Tyanna's tiny frame, huddled up into a ball, shivering under the ragged patchwork quilt I made for her three winters ago. Crying, too, probably. Or else staring into darkness, thinking of the great void that swallowed up the Princess.

[WP] As a child you vowed to help the world. As an adult you became the world's most notorious super villain. But now, your plans have come to fruition, its time to honor your childhood vow. | The laser beam inched closer and closer to Agent Ramirez, a faint whining coming from where it scored the stainless steel table.

[WP] You find a box at your doorstep with a doll in it. Next to it is a note that reads "This is your voodoo doll. You can't destroy him without hurting yourself. Take care of him." | “This is your voodoo doll.”
I always thought voodoo dolls to be, well, creepier than this. I expected them to either be hanging from a hook or sitting on a rickety old desk in the lair of some witch/shaman, maybe with a few threads sticking out after being frayed over a lifetime of use. Maybe with some needles sticki... | The solitary knock on the door roused me from the semi-conscious petting of the cat and the staring at the flickering images on the TV.
