7* TheAgeless: John and Jackie Kennedy become this in Cecil's story.
8* AlternateHistory: Its Alternate History Week in Night Vale! The Night Vale Historical Society chooses a submission to make into the new history of Night Vale. Cecil's attempt at writing an alternate history story is based on [[UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy JFK's]] assassination, being titled 'What If He Had Lived?'. Eventually it becomes clear that Cecil really means 'What If He Had Lived ''Forever''?'.
9: :Stories written by other townsfolk include:
10** [[AlternateHistoryNaziVictory 'What If Germany Had Won World War II?']]
11** 'What If The South Had Won The Civil War?'
12** 'What If Bath Mats Were Never Invented?'
13** [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs 'What If (Somehow) Germany Had Won The Civil War?']]
14: :The winning submission was an alternate history where the Beatrix Lowman Memorial Meditation Zone, the building of which drained huge amounts of money from the rest of city government, was never built. It will now be destroyed to match the new history, thus wasting a ridiculous amount of money.
15* ApocalypseHow: The end of the universe in Cecil's story involves the universe reaching a point of perfect balance, therefore halting all change and progress forever.
16* StepfordSmiler: Something about living in an AlternateHistory destroys Jackie Kennedy's ability to feel emotion, but she keeps putting on the performance of being a happy loving wife.
