The prompts:

1 - The word Eternity

The word Eternity was a graffiti tag recorded over an approximate 35-year period from 1932 to 1967, written over a million times in chalk in the streets of Sydney, Australia by Arthur Stace, an illiterate former soldier, petty criminal and alcoholic who became a devout Christian in the late 1940s. (True fact) Story prompt - your character sees the word Eternity in a medieval manuscript exactly as written by the modern artist. Hoax or timetravel?

2 - Sect

In a Utopian society, an underground sect calling themselves Eternity emerges as members of the government disappear and chaos ensues.

3 - Symbol

The infinity symbol appears all over the world overnight, and no one knows what it means until they activate the end of the world.

4 - Promise

When the aliens promised eternal friendship to all humans, no one could imagine what this would mean.

5 - Theory

"I have just got a new theory of eternity." - Albert Einstein

6 - Wave of Time

7 - Eternity of Photos

You have inherited such a legacy from your grandfather that you now carry eternity in your hands with it. Be careful with photos taken with the camera you received. Because whenever you look at one of these photos, you will experience that moment in an endless loop.

8 - Death

"Death is the golden key that opens the palace of eternity." - John Milton

9 - Fact

In the distant future, humanity has advanced so much, eternity is a fact of life.

10 - Glitch

The ship was meant to reach a habitable planet in 40 light years. But a glitch sends it traveling on - into eternity.
