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.

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.

True Identity // A Socksfor1 Horror AU
Humans are quite possibly the lowest level of life from what I can tell. They just come and go as they please, destroy what they please, and contain unknown beings like me for "the safety of humanity." Yeah, right. And they're also pretty stupid, judging from how easy it was to break free from those foundation fools holding me captive. And now I'm stuck controlling a human body (that does NOT like to cooperate, mind you) while I complete my final plans for the human race. And if you're wondering... yes, I'm going to murder them all. Starting with this little "Skeld Crew" that I've heard about. Not much, but a start. A start that will strike the fear essence of my true power into the hearts of every human in existence. - Unknown ---------- 541 & Dr Vyllin are the only characters in this I own. All the others belong to their respected owners. !DISCLAIMER! This story is a horror type story.
