Fifty years ago, the city hall of Saltine Avocado decided to sell twelve hundred yards of public land to a wealthy veteran called Mr. Crimea. There, Mr
Crimea erected a thirteen-story-high construction, topped by a penthouse where he chose to live.
Soon after this, the town hall recognized their failure to the citizens who saw the this construction, three times above the height of all other buildings in town, obscure the landscape of the historical centre of Saltine Avocado. But now the Crimea building was built, and they were now unable to pay for its demolition without spending an incredible ammount of money.
Flash-forward fifty years.
Twelve of the owners remain inside this building when a long-awaited eviction notice arrives. Jason Brie and his wife are living in Canada when their learn about the news. In order to occupy their last strand of land in American soil, they rush out to Saltine, stocking up on electrical batteries and food. After filling their tubs with tap water and hanging a Crimean flag on their windows, they brace themselves for the worst.

The Last Vault
In a future where Earth has been "restored" to a pristine natural state, humanity has been exiled to orbiting stations and distant colonies. The wealthy elites, known derisively as the Toff, have claimed Earth's beauty as their own private trophy, dismantling every human-made structure and hiding Earth's legacy under lock and key. Forbidden and off-limits to all but a select few, the planet has become a myth, a dream, and for some, an obsession. Callen is a deliveryman scraping by in the underbelly of Earth 2, a gleaming satellite that serves as both a counterweight to Earth's space elevator and a paradise for the Toff. His odd jobs bring him close to their world but never let him touch it. One job takes him to the Terminal Village, a medieval-style settlement at the base of the space elevator, where he learns of a tantalizing rumor: a hidden vault deep in the Rocky Mountains, filled with priceless relics from Earth's past. Driven by desperation and a growing defiance against the Toff's control, Callen begins piecing together fragments of truth about the vault. To reach it, he must navigate Earth's untouched wilderness, avoid detection, and unravel the secrets the elites have buried. But the deeper he delves, the more dangerous his journey becomes-and the more he realizes the vault's treasures might hold more than wealth. They could hold humanity's forgotten history... or its final undoing. In this gripping blend of dystopian adventure and treasure-hunting intrigue, The Last Vault explores the meaning of ownership, legacy, and the lengths we'll go to reclaim what was lost. Perfect for fans of speculative fiction and high-stakes heists, this is a story of forbidden worlds and the resilience of those who refuse to be forgotten.Complete

Skibidi toilet, skibidi toilet! Join our unreliable narrator, 12 year old Jason Asher as the District 1 Male tribute for the 11th Annual Hunger Games. Set in an AU from the Hunger Games series, screw the musty crusty old amphitheater arena! From a district partner who *probably* hates him, to the eccentric John Smith who kidnapped him on the train, Jace is not getting his anticipated Hunger Games hype experience. The District 8 Female, Kyara Evergreen is super hot, but careers can't alliance with outliers, right? With Emily Chen kicking him out of his own suite, Jace might as well give it a shot... Oh wait, her friend, the District 6 Female, Vienna Woods, is also super hot! Don't let your memes be dreams, because Jace certainly won't! On a more serious note, the US government uses a Discord game server to create the perfect tacticians for an impending war, using the Hunger Games and RPG-based mechanics. As the final test, the best individuals' consciousness are uploaded to a Hunger Games simulation. Only one can survive. A huge acknowledgement to beelzebubthethird (John Smith), lithium.batteries (Best Aker), the.evergreen (Kyara Evergreen), m.eris_neptune (Vienna Woods) and jacarandjas (Emily Chen) for letting me use their characters. All characters and events in this story-even those based on real people-are entirely fictional. Yea, I pulled this quote from South Park. You're welcome. And no, you may not sue me.
