[WP]The Wishmaker's Key. It's like the Monkey's Paw, but instead of just flat out granting your wish (and doing it in the worst way possible), it only opens up the most reasonable opportunity to get what you wished for.

[WP] You're an immortal who lives at a beach resort. You have many summer flings with mortals on getaways. One day you see someone you had a hot romantic night with 50 years ago. They look exactly the same.

[WP] You wake up in a pure white room. There are no doors or windows. Every personal item of yours has been taken, literally all you have are your clothes. You spot a folded piece of paper. You pick it up, open it and read it.

[WP] Everyone is born with a power, but they can be bought and sold. Being poor, you purchase only the cheapest ones, gaining you ridicule and the title "Mr. Useless". Recently, however, you realized how you can use all these "useless" powers together, and set out to make a better name for yourself.

[WP] You live in a place that gets hurricanes on the regular. A hurricane is happening, but it's ok. Projected to only be a category one. Everything is all fine and good until you realize...the waffle house is...CLOSED!

[WP] When you learned your mother was a goddess, things finally seemed to fall into place. The other demigods laughed at you, the only child born to the goddess of the hearth, Hestia. But your power was so much more than they could dream of.

[WP] "You fool!" cackled the Dark One, "No man can kill me!" "But I am no man!" bellowed the hero, as he unhinged his jaw. A grotesque sound filled the hall as they hacked up impossibly large balls of cloth. Unfurling, they stand and announce "For we are actually three trench coats in a halfling!"
