Aw Man, It’s an “Omen”

The train car rattles violently back and forth, knocking you and the werewolves off your feet. Outside the window, instead of poles and general darkness, you see the fabric of time and space coming undone. It’s very sparkly and pretty. In a white flash, the train car goes back to normal, like the universe reset […]

Fight a Werewolf With Magic!

You wave your hands in the air in a mystical, yet threatening fashion. It’s magic time. The gray werewolf pushes to the front of the pack, tearing off his clothes and snarling loudly at you! He charges at you on all fours, eyes sharp, teeth out, looking real bitey. To cast a spell, push the […]

A Warning About the Thing You Just Chose To Do

You decide to use awesome ✨ m-a-g-i-c✨ – but then you remember something really important. Living in a dark urban fantasy world ain’t easy, which is why you took that underground self-defense magic class last June. Every time you use this illicit magic, however, there’s a small chance you’ll set off an “omen” that ends […]

Attempt to Run Away from Werewolves

You turn your back to the werewolves and run for the backdoor of the subway. It’s locked. You tug on the metal door latch with all your might, but it won’t budge. Damn it, they always open in the movies. You turn to see the werewolves are closing in on you. Having tried the “flight” […]

Talk to the Werewolves

“Hey there,” you shout over to the slowly advancing werewolves. “Are you gonna do a group dance routine, by any chance? I’d gladly give you money afterwards.” The werewolves growl in response and continue to advance. They’re half a car away from you. What would you like to do? Ask politely if they intend to […]

Warn the Werewolves About Your Powers

“Stay back,” you sternly warn the werewolves. “For you see, I am no ordinary human. I am a wizard who wields ancient, powerful magic I learned a couple months ago at the local YMCA. So if you don’t want to get your fur fricasseed, I suggest you move back!”  The werewolves look at each other, […]

Politely Ask the Werewolves a Question

“I’ve seen on the evening news that sometimes… and I’m not saying this is you, okay… I’m not jumping to conclusions, I don’t even know y’all… but sometimes werewolves… uh, eat humans?” you stammer. “Is that what’s happening right now?” They growl loudly. One of the werewolves howls! You can hear the clatter of their […]

You Throughly Destroyed a Werewolf on the Subway

You’ve had it with these motherfurrin’ wolves on the motherfuzzin’ train! The palm of your hand glows and a thin object blasts out. It’s a small silver stake, which zooms across the train and hits the muscular black werewolf in the chest. Got him. The train stops. As you collect yourself, a teen enters the […]

You’ll Get Out of Work Tomorrow for Sure!

Being injured makes it hard to cast the spell, which requires a lot of broad hand gestures. It’s making the process slow and painful, instead of cool-looking. The werewolf takes advantage and leaps at your throat, taking a big bloody bite…! As you lose consciousness on the floor of the subway car, you think about […]

You Triggered the End of the Universe

There’s light coming from the subway car windows. It’s bright to the point of blinding. You and the werewolves float upward to the train car ceiling, as if there was no gravity anymore. And that’s because there isn’t. A shining, glittering light floods the subway car. Everything is being erased. It’s tragic that the universe […]
