I know these questions are not realistic, but they are fun for me to write. So here goes:
1. A virus is accidentally unleashed from a CDC installation in the Continental United States, England, and Australia. After hearing this, there is panic spread throughout all three countries as people scramble to outrun the contagion. However, there is no escaping this manmade plague and time is running out. One day you are roaming the countryside looking to hunt some food, when you see a military vehicle swerve to the side of the road crashing into a utility pole. Seeing this you decide to investigate. Inside the vehicle is a doctor for the CDC. He has with him a container with three syringes full of antigen. The doctor tells you he was on his way to a military base, where there are high ranking personnel waiting to be vaccinated. He tells you each syringe is worth two doses, four for children less than 45 pounds. He is dying and proffers them to you. Everyone in your family is still clinging to life and desperately need the inoculations you now possess. The real problem is that there may not be any others, outside of Government personnel, that could be alive when this is over. Do you use the antigen for your family? Or do you use them for something else?
2. During your drive home from school, you are in a fatal car accident. When you wake, you are in Heaven and Gabrielle is waiting for you. He informs you that occasionally there are mix-ups with earthly departures, and you were robbed of 37 more years of life on Earth. God has allowed Gabrielle to offer you two choices to make restitution to you. One is that you go back into a body of a young boy who is slated to die, and the other is to go back in time and have a re-do of your own life. Now those are solutions, not the idea for restitution. Knowing that you are an aspiring filmmaker, God grants you five movies to create that have been done by others already. It doesn’t matter that you think someone else came up with these films, because Gabrielle sets you straight about how they came as gifts from God himself. He will give the people you take from other gifts to compensate. You are allowed two independent films for your beginning, two standard films for your contractual work for large studios, and a very large big budget epic movie, made solely by you. What are the five movies that you choose? Remember, you’ve learned that all the film ideas people have, begin with God, so it is still yours. You will not remember this deal ever being made.
3. You are working at a construction site to make ends meet while at film school, when all of a sudden the ground starts caving in. There is no hope for escape as the earth gives way and you plummet into a crevice so deep, that no one has any hope to ever recover you. You awake sometime later to find that you are able to see, there is some compound deep in the recesses of the earth that can make the rock alight, showing you the way. To your amazement, you are on a long and winding path, set unto the side of a sheer rock wall. The drop off to your other side seems infinite and the path upward is absolutely impassible. The only way is down. You start your trek and find that the rock is oozing a liquid substance that is not unlike a gel. After tasting it, you discover that it gives you nourishment on both levels of need, so there is no need of worry for thirst and hunger. You continue your journey. It seems like months later when you seem to have found the core. You stand and stare at an entrance into a small cave and decide to enter it, lest all your sojourning be for naught. Upon entering the cave you find a small pool, and that’s when you hear the voice. The Earth is speaking to you. You learn that the earth is a living, thinking entity, which has been aware of the changing’s that the human race has forced on it. When it is angered, it causes the earthquakes; it melds with the atmosphere and creates the hurricanes. It is so tired of the constant itch that our species creates, and describes us to you as lice. It tells you that in the pool is the essence of Earth, and drinking it will give you its power, but only if it wants you to have it. You must make some changes to the Human Race’s policies on how it transgresses the Earth. Once you drink from the pool, you will have absolute power over all living beings. You can think of a place and immediately be there, you will be invulnerable to all forms of attack, and you will be able to crush any resistance that is ever brought up against you, with merely a thought. You will be, in effect, a living God! However, once you are back among the living, the Earth will have no power over you at all, you are beyond its grasp. My question is, what will you do with that power once you are among us again? Will you make changes to appease the Earth proving your worth to it? Or would you have other motives in mind? Say you achieve dominion over all life, what are the first five worldwide laws you would create?
4. One night you decide to go out for a night on the town, when you hear some gunshots. You see Prime Minister Howard running for his life, and open your car door for him. After speeding away, he tells you that his own cabinet has hatched a plot to assassinate him. The only way to keep him alive is to hide him for a few days while his top trusted aids discover who is behind this heinous plot. You have been able to successfully keep him safe at great danger to yourself for a number of days, when you’re told that it’s over and that he can come out of hiding. He is so grateful towards you that he offers you one boon; you have only to name it. Name it.
5. A man wanders towards you one afternoon as you sit on your porch writing in your journal. He has been seriously injured and is on the edge of collapse. He hands you a small instrument and tells you that it is a Time Renderer. He gives you instructions on how to use it and informs you that it only has four charges left, and one of them is needed for your transport back to your own personal time. He drops dead in front of you; all the while your head is reeling from the implications that you can time travel four times. What periods of time do you use the four charges on, what do you wish to see, or learn?
