It was all acting out like he wanted. He just won the lottery. He grinned madly, causing other pedestrians to stare with unsure eyes. They thought him to be senile. After all, a smile was very seldom in their tiny enclosed square of the world.

He gave beggars one-thousand dollars compacted together with fine red ribbons. The homeless glanced at the green paper, smelled it, rubbed it against their faces, kissed it, and praised the lord for it. Later, snorting enough cocaine to give them a euphoric heart attack to remember for the rest of their lives. LSD users drove themselves mad and went insane, preaching on the streets of a dog that created mankind. Heroine addicts injected all of their veins until their entity was blue with bruises. Marijuana users fried their brains.

He walked into the grocery store, feeling almost bulletproof to thugs and thieves. He bought everything from the store and gave it out freely. Reluctance was not within the comprehension of the starving children who grabbed all of the food they could hold. The really hungry ones choked themselves to death by gorging themselves on chicken and didn’t feel the bone stab through their esophagus. They broke out in hives after discovering their new allergy to shellfish, their last meal. The lactose intolerant gobbled down enormous quantities of cheese, to feel why they shouldn’t have done so on their deathbeds. Children gobbled down pounds of chocolate, feeling buzzed and lax, immobilizing themselves under their own weight. Diet pills were sold out at convenient stores and were strictly watched because of their addictive properties.

There were no prostitutes walking the streets the night the man of infinite wealth kept on giving out money. They no longer took birth control and lured men to become their husbands later, awaking up as sober fathers. STDs were so frequent that everyone had at least one and diagnosing all of them was a uselessly endless job of research.

Schools became an option. Most children only went thru graded five and dropped out. School became a luxury and only the really determined ones would stay through high school. Colleges and universities became nonexistent because most people would buy their bachelor degrees.

With the earth running out of room to bury the dead, cremation was the only other option next to lying on the streets, cold and blue. The loved ones were cremated while the unloved ones were left out for the rats to nibble at. Because the rats were everywhere, feasting on filth of dead humans and invading humans, the bubonic plague arose.

The lottery-winning man had so much money that he rigged the lotteries to draw in his name every time so he became the man of unlimited wealth. He had a statue made of himself in almost every town. He was next to the gods.

Atheism was the majority and there was little or no hope left in the world.
