It was a masterpiece. Each room had automated arms to clean and obey various commands. The windows could withstand a bomb from 15 yards away. Standing at 2,800 feet tall, it was the tallest building on Earth. And he was the one who designed it.
With the biomechanical crew not needing to take any breaks and lifting 50 tons daily, it had taken only a year for his design to come to life. And now, the Rex of all Eurasia would see man's greatest wonder on its opening day. Everything was going perfectly. He had the robots wash the building one last time, and as they glided down, he sent them all to their storage space, and combed his hair for the 3rd time that hour.
Within 5 minutes, a large hovercraft touched down and the Rex, accompanied by his guards, walked out to join the world-famous architect. The two nodded as the floating cameras waved about, capturing this historic moment. Silently, the Rex handed him the over-sized scissors, which he then sawed through the celebratory ribbon with. The group all gazed at the building with awe, as the setting sun reflected across the glass. As the Rex took a step for it, there was a flash. Shrapnel flew through the air as the entire building burst into flames and shattered down, raining the men with colossal shards of glass. The architect lived just long enough to see his prized building fall, before the metal flew through his skull.
I just wanted to say I originally wrote a joke ending for this but I didn't save it :<
I'll try to have an update schedule, maybe every Friday?
