Caseoh had always been a bit different. With his robust frame and ginger hair, he was the pride of the neighborhood. His size was a frequent topic of conversation, but Caseoh carried himself with a regal air, unbothered by the whispers.

On a particularly quiet afternoon, Caseoh was lounging on his couch, flipping through a magazine when he saw it: a picture of a strawberry shortcake, its layers of cream and fresh strawberries tantalizingly perfect. His mouth watered at the sight. His love for sweets was legendary, and the sight of the shortcake awakened a deep, irresistible craving within him.

Unable to walk due to his weight, Caseoh had mastered the art of strategic jumping to get around. With the strawberry shortcake etched vividly in his mind, he decided he had to have it. Summoning all his strength, he leaped off the couch, aiming for the kitchen. His feet landed heavily on the hardwood floor. The impact sent a shudder through the room, but Caseoh, being a man of notable heft, thought nothing of it.

Then, compelled by his desperate desire for the shortcake, Caseoh jumped again, this time with a ferocity that surprised even himself. His broad form crashed to the floor, causing the ground to quake violently. Windows rattled, picture frames tilted, and the floorboards creaked under the strain. Caseoh paused, eyes wide, as a low rumble echoed beneath his feet.

Unbeknownst to him, his fall had disturbed a fault line deep beneath the earth's crust. The seismic waves rippled outwards, growing in magnitude as they traveled. Within minutes, the ground beneath Caseoh's house began to heave and crack. The once-sturdy foundation gave way, and the house collapsed in a cacophony of breaking wood and shattering glass.

The earthquake, however, did not stop there. It radiated outward, swallowing towns and cities in its wake. Bridges crumbled, skyscrapers toppled, and the very fabric of the world seemed to be unraveling. Oceans surged, mountains trembled, and the sky darkened with the dust and debris of a planet in turmoil.

In the eye of this cataclysmic storm, Caseoh lay amidst the rubble of his former home, unscathed and bewildered. His world had changed irrevocably with a single, desperate leap for a strawberry shortcake. As the final tremors faded and a haunting silence settled, Caseoh looked around, his broad frame casting a long shadow over the fractured earth.

The world had fallen apart, and yet, Caseoh remained—an indomitable, ginger-haired survivor of his own making.
