In a cave is a door. Its carvings seem to move, but only when you don't look directly at them. It isn't locked, but no-one tries to open it.
Doug discovered a biography of his life in the library. Skimming to the point where he saw the book, he found he was afraid to read further.
Sarah floated among the clouds, trading limericks with the moon. She longed to fly to it, but had no protection from the vacuum of space.

Jake gave up being a superhero. He'd achieved so much, saved many lives, but couldn't stand jokes about his prehensile nipples any longer.
The android came at her with a knife. "They said I was paranoid," May thought, "but now the robots have turned on us!" It gave her no peace
Interestingly, Kerry found out that you could stop a zombie in its tracks if you pretended to be the presenter of an infomercial.
Thousands of them came down the street. All red fur, huge eyes, & giggling, oh God, I remember the giggling Yes, I was there for Elmogeddon.
Tony was overwhelmed by the surprise party. He’d never dreamed cockroaches could be so generous in their appreciation of his lack of hygiene
