Flat tire, three nails, $21.99 to fix and a wonderful weekend.

While wandering around a darkened, unnamed city that I don't recognize from waking life at this time I learned there was a contest. Pretty much there are image clues for a player to track down and assassinate a Prominent World Leader. At every intersection there would be a flash of an arm or leg that would serve as a clue for the hunt. Savvy would-be assassins would keep an eye on the direction of the flash and pursue that lead.

My search took so long that winter arrived and the streets were covered in ice. Rumors were whispered that the game had already been completed and I could download the results from the internet. The first picture was downloaded and I saw the Prominent World Leader laying face down in a pool of blood, the back of their head blown out. Yet I remained skeptical and kept looking for other images showing the same scene at different angles since it could've been shooped.

As always the internet delivers and it's a lock that the Prominent World Leader had been assassinated. News reports started broadcasting the assassin had not been caught but they accused a Buddhist of the crime. Zooming in on a pixel one could find a single message "ynot" which was interpreted as being a Buddhist reason for killing Prominent World Leader. Most breathed a sigh of relief because until the assassin was caught then Prominent World Leader's legal successors could not elevate themselves to office out of fear they would be next in line for some 9mm aspirin.

Most assumed the murderer committed suicide, others believe the rest of the country's citizens hid the assassin as a national hero who ended a reign of terror which went longer than necessary, a reign of terror which was founded on lies and pursuing unpopular policies against the world-at-large. In the midst of the newfound anarchy where the political heirs-apparent grew old and died of old age a benevolent and enlightened anarchy entrenched itself and everyone lived happily ever after.
