A person, name undisclosed, hacked into the data stream of a drone flying over an undisclosed location and retrieved this picture. He thinks an undisclosed nation is preparing for a pre-emptive strike on Christmas Eve. So what's your story?
Walkin' in a Winter Wonju-LandAfter the hard winter they were left with only Speedos and tutus, but they made the best of a bad situation and, in the end, proved that human hope can overcome ANY adversity.
The NASA/Pentagon/NSA-built weather satellites had overflown Wonju, the most populous city in Gangwon Province, South Korea, just as planned, leaving the town buried under several feet of synthetically-induced snow. Thousands perished from starvation, dehydration and hypothermia, the bodies piling up to form sad pyramids on the frozen ground. Children lost parents, sisters lost brothers and over everyone a dark cloud settled.
Yet in the midst of this won-ton destruction there arose a glimmer of hope - the discovery of an unopened crate of swimwear and dance costumes. Where the crate had originated no one knows, only that little Samsuk Dong, 6 years old and skeletal of build, had come running home early one December morning to report on his amazing discovery. Little Dong led his parents, Sukmi Dong and Luvyu Dong, to the abandoned factory site where the crate was opened amidst much clamor and glee.
Of course, this being the middle of a synthetically-induced winter in South Korea made the utility of the find a dubious one, but the hearts and minds of Korea rally at such trying times. The townfolk had several meetings as to the fate of the find, with suggestions including burning the clothing for warmth, trading for firewood and re-labeling and trans-shipping to North Korea to encourage free trade, but in the end it was the brother-in-law of Mrs. Dong, Bentup Dong, that presented the winning solution:
They would form a Bathing/Dancing Bocce Ball league.
Wonju would no longer be just a random point on a Google Map - they would become a world power through their mastery of Bathing/Dancing Bocce Ball, starting with the 2020 Olympics, and all because some shitty First-World nation had decided to rain - or in this case, snow - on their parade.
