  • "You begin working."
  • "You face a dark wood with two paths, and finally choose the one you wish to travel."
  • "You make a new friend."
  • "For a fleeting moment you walk along the edge of a dream, sharing in the experience."
  • "A jumble of thoughts tumble chaotically through, but at last the confusion passes."
  • "For a brief moment you are able to believe something as someone else does, yet it doesn't last."
  • "You have a child."
  • "You are born."
  • "You take a moment to reflect upon the past, and find it leads you to a solution for the present"
  • "You protect something"
  • "You are imprisoned."
  • "You fight."
  • "You marry."
  • "You're faced by an unfamiliar problem, but experience has given you the tools to forge ahead."
  • "Vivid images fill your mind, and unfamilar thoughts struggle to give them meaning"
  • "Clarity leads you to an insightful thought, and you find yourself pleased with your rationale."
  • "You die"
  • "The sights, smells and sounds are long gone, but you can still feel them as though it just happened."
  • "You're blinded by bursts of color, and reality seems to bend around you."
  • "You find a lover."


The Thread of Fate and Thread of Thought make different statements.
