Exploring the ruins of Chernobyl shortly after the melt down. One time from choking on a hot dog in a McDonalds before they were discontinued.

You are a minor deity trying to figure out how the hell this was even possible. | The virgin screamed as he plunged into to the vat of lava, his last living moments a shroud of pain and fear.

Your cousin is the second strongest sorcerer alive. The strongest? You, with red magic and an absolute hatred for everyone you've ever met. | The stadium gasped as the man, once powerful and admired, collapsed into a pile of clothes and glowing ashes.

[WP] In the not-so-distant future, everything has been automated and jobs are scarce. There is a Universal Basic Income, but in order to "earn" it, people must do fake jobs.
