This is 61. I -100. The original 1-50 table actually was popular enough that I felt it was time to create the next batch of "random encounters." Hope you like these!
Cities have so many secrets.
51
|
The sky is falling. Satellites
are dropping from orbit.
|
52
|
You see a hand. Blood trail
leads to the alleyway.
|
53
|
A flash of light. Was that a
camera trained at you?
|
54
|
That cat. Was it just
whispering to another cat in English?
|
55
|
Look. It’s a blue police box.
|
56
|
Air raid sirens. Is that a
huge plane in the sky?
|
57
|
Take my money. It is a gift.
|
58
|
The car. It has been left idling.
And the door is open.
|
59
|
The statue just shifted in position.
|
60
|
Cars crash into each other. It
is green at every intersection you can see.
|
61
|
Snow. But when you touch it, it
feels instead like ashes.
|
62
|
A cellphone rings. It matches
your ringtone but it isn't yours.
|
63
|
Smoke. A building is on fire.
|
64
|
That woman just left her baby on the steps.
|
65
|
Everyone’s cellphones ring.
They all start asking for you.
|
66
|
Chains rattle. From the
nearest sewer.
|
67
|
A taxi stops in front of you.
“Get in,” someone says.
|
68
|
Someone is playing a saxophone.
The music echoes all around you.
|
69
|
Two buildings have switched places.
But neither show signs of construction.
|
70
|
A dog whimpers and runs into the alleyway. A sudden terrible growl silences it.
|
71
|
A glass wall. You can’t feel
where it ends.
|
72
|
A floating white arrow appears in the sky. A mouse pointer six-storeys tall.
|
73
|
The newspaper headlines all
talk about another country destroyed by a nuclear strike.
|
74
|
A red dot. It shines on your
chest. You have three seconds to act.
|
75
|
Water. In seconds, its already
ankle deep.
|
76
|
A falling star. It splits into
three in the sky as it falls.
|
77
|
You feel an itch. Reaching for
it you realize you’re missing a finger.
But there’s no pain.
|
78
|
You can see people’s thoughts.
Floating word balloons in the sky.
|
79
|
A baby carriage has been left by the street corner. No one seems to have noticed.
|
80
|
The shadows move. They are
following you.
|
81
|
An earthquake. Buildings
around you start to break.
|
82
|
An old flame emerges. She
looks homeless.
|
83
|
It is raining money.
|
84
|
The streets don’t look familiar.
Neither does the sky.
|
85
|
People break into song and dance.
It never ends.
|
86
|
Your key does not work on your lock.
Someone else opens the door.
|
87
|
You have a package. It is a
gun with a full clip and an mp3 player.
|
88
|
Cats follow you around. They
do not make any sound.
|
89
|
Lightning flashes. The stars fall.
A crack in the sky.
|
90
|
Two kids are playing hopscotch on the street ahead of you. One of them vanishes.
|
91
|
The train does not stop to let you out. It keeps going. And going.
|
92
|
A policeman is waiting at your door.
He doesn't look happy.
|
93
|
You have become a shadow.
Everything else of you has ceased to exist.
|
94
|
Hungover. In someone else’s
house. A wedding ring.
|
95
|
A celebrity waves at you. More
celebrities emerge. All rush to ask
for your signature.
|
96
|
The ground shakes. And
again. And again. Then gravity shifts upside down.
|
97
|
A man on a horse asks you for directions. He speaks with a thick accent.
|
98
|
You receive a text message from your mother. She’s asking you to help her surf the net.
|
99
|
She’s giving birth. Right
now. And there’s no one else in sight.
|
100
|
The moon. It just smiled at you.
