text: On the planet of Gamma Omengis 3, alcohol is a way of life. If you want to survive, you will have to drink. Instead of water being the basis of all life, alcohol is required to live. The hyper giants are several meters tall and their hairy skin is a deep purple hue. It was an average Flormpus Day in Downtown Scrumpelford, and everyone was having a great time celebrating. "Ill take a large beer" Gregoffiny, the large purple man said to the bartender at one of the many street vendor stalls. "You got it!" the bartender said back, reaching for a 50 gallon glass. He put it up to the spigot connected to the city beer supply and started to pour. About half way though the pour, Gregoffiny turned around to the sound of many people starting to shout. "What do you mean your out!" "How is that possible?" "NO! This CAN'T be!" “You've gotta be kidding me!” The bartender pouring Gregoffiny's drink noticed the flow of beer start to slow down. "Wait, what's going on?" The tap slowed down to a drip, then stopped. "What happened?" Gregoffiny said, "How is the city out of beer?" he asked the confused bartender. He took the half filled beer and started to walk towards the main stage. A few other people around him were also worried about the city running out of the life sustaining beer they all need to survive. An announcement came over the PA, “Attention everyone. I'm sure you have heard that there is a momentary stoppage of the city's beer supply, but don't worry! Due to the extra draw on the system today, we probably just over heated a pump or something. No big deal people! I'm sure we will have it back up and running in a few minutes.” With that, the terrible jazz music faded back up and people seemed to calm down. Gregoffiny started to walk east towards the edge of the city park so he could grab a hot dog and look at the hill side. All of a sudden there was a bright, blinding flash of light filling the sky with its pure white brilliance. Temporarily blinded, Gregoffiny dropped his glass and put his massive purple hands to his giant eyes and dropped to his knees. Gregoffiny, having slightly regained his sight, looked around and then, he saw it. A mushroom cloud filled his eyes. The gargantuan size, the heat that felt like it was cooking him. He could see a fast approaching wave moving down the hill side towards the city. Just before the wave hit the city edge, he heard it. An explosive sound so loud that it shattered his massive eardrums. For a moment, he was in shock. What was happening? Who would do this? Why? Only seconds later, he felt the massive heat of the wave as it got closer and hotter. Then, for a split second, what felt like a speeding freight train hit him in the chest.
