"Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death" by Caroline M. Yoachim, narrated by Wil.  There's an old saying about moving heaven and earth for the people you love; If you're lucky, you've experienced that feeling yourself for your partner, for your family. Take a moment with me to feel that -- really feel it -- in your body. Got it? Now, imagine that moving heaven and earth -- well, more earth, but I'm getting ahead of myself -- is not quite enough. You have to move Space and Time, as well. This is Rock Paper Scissors Love Death.

“Proof by Induction” by José Pablo Iriarte, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.I love a good quest. The hero's journey to find the golden fleece and bring it home has been a cornerstone of storytelling for all of recorded history for a reason. At some point in our lives, each of us will hear the call to adventure and set out on a quest of our own. A lucky few even manage to complete their quests, sometimes against incredible odds.Some famous quests are for knowledge, power, or even to save the world, but we are about to embark on a quest for something far more intimate, far more personal, and elusive: it is a quest for connection, and redemption. And it can only be found by Proof of Induction.

“The God of Minor Troubles” by Megan Chee, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.From a mortal's perspective, a god is a god. Omnipotence isn't really on a spectrum; it's pretty binary. The gods don't see it that way. From the moment humans dreamed them into existence, they've fought among themselves to determine which mortals they will hear, what responsibilities they have, and how they will be divided amongst the firmament. While mortals merely hope their prayers will be heard, it turns out that some of the gods answering them aren't particularly thrilled with their assignment.I am about to introduce you to one of those gods, who does not yet know that it's actually pretty major to be the god of minor troubles.

"can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time" by Iori Kusano, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.I remember being a kid in the late seventies, looking through this book I had called The Catalog of the Future. It was filled with imaginary vacation destinations, floating cities (in the air and in the sea), rockets, wireless phones, all beautifully illustrated. With a little assistance from my young imagination, I could pretend this catalog had been plucked from the future, that everything inside it was real, and one day, I would live there. I was a weird, lonely, scared kid. I treasured the escape and the sanctuary I found inside the covers of this book. Today, in a story that landed on me like an uppercut, I'm going to take you to a Waffle House, somewhere in North America, where we will meet a guy who had his own version of that catalog, his own glimpse of a world where the things that made him weird in our reality made him special and gave his life purpose. And we're going to find out how it feels for him to know that he can never go back. This is Can I Offer You An Egg In This Trying Time?

“If We Make It Through This Alive” by A.T. Greenblatt, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time. I must confess that dystopian fiction currently doesn't have the impossible distance from the present for me that it once did. A story about three women navigating crumbling roads and misogyny in equal measure on a dangerous and frequently deadly road race could have come from this morning's paper; we just happened to pluck it from the pages of TK PUBLICATION. Get ready to meet three women who have come together with everything at stake, to literally drive toward a shared goal, without losing sight of their individual goals -- or themselves -- along the way.  This is If We Make It Through This Alive.

“End of Play” by Chelsea Sutton, narrated by Wil Welcome, friends. I'm Wil Wheaton, and it's Story Time.This is the part of my introduction where I talk about the story you're about to hear, where I write what I call "the magazine heading" which will help you press pause on the real world and come with me into Story Time. This part is challenging for me; I need to summarize just enough of the plot to entice you, without giving away anything important.I'm struggling with this part more than usual today, because this story doesn't fit neatly into any single category. It's a ghost story, it's a love story, it's a gorgeous monologue that cries out to be staged in the real life theatre where the titular play is set. It is a beautiful way to wrap up our first season. There is nothing I can say about it now that adds anything to it, so I invite you to take your seat, because the house lights have come down, and we have to begin, if we are going to get to the End of Play.
