Almost the instant the greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest... greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest, greatest Leader Annie in all the myriad heavens and worlds made her decision, on Earth in a parallel universe.
When a mysterious pop-up appeared on the phones of the first batch of 107 lucky chosen ones, a certain region in the Northern Hemisphere was resting in the tender embrace of night.
Some lay in bed scrolling through novels, their index fingers unconsciously sliding over their screens, their pupils dyed a deep blue by the glow of words. Some sprawled on sofas, boredly browsing the day's news, letting politicians' faces and celebrity gossip fly past beneath their fingertips. Others huddled in the corners of their workstations, secretly slacking off under the pretense of working overtime as they watched a newly released adult film, the panting in their earbuds intertwining with the office air conditioner's hum.
