There once were two men who lived in Chicago. Tran S Verse lived in a condo at the top of CREST skyscraper. Every day he would ride the elevator down to the Trough subway line to get to work and then return at the end of the day to go back up to his condo.
1
His friend and coworker, Lon Gi Tudinal, lived in one of the suburbs and traveled back and forth to the city. He could make it to work in 30 minutes if the traffic had a rarefaction, but if there was a compression, it could take him up to 90 minutes.
2
Their job was to create energy bundles at the power plant, AMPlitude. These bundles were a new source of energy called Water Articulated Vicadination Entropic Steppifinication, or WAVES, for short. AMPlitude made sure they were top secret.
3
AMPlitude had 1 enemy, Destructive Interference, who would stop at nothing to find out how he could sabotage the plant. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do to cause all the WAVES to cancel out. He would frequently send pulses into the factory to try and destroy it.
4
Tran S Verse had been working on a new pulse deflector called the WAVElength. One day Lon Gi Tudinal saw a pulse coming through the medium grass toward the plant. He grabbed Tran S Verse and the WAVElength machine. Together they hit the pulse with everything they had.
5
For a moment it looked like the pulse was going to overtake them, but slowly the WAVElength machine worked and the pulse began heading back toward Destructive Interference.
6
The pulse slammed right into Destructive and something miraculous happened. He realized how wrong he had been, promised to make it up to the company by increasing their WAVE sales and boosting their production, and changed his name to Constructive Interference.
7
Tran S Verse & Lon Gi Tudinal went on to become billionaires through their sales of WAVES and are currently working on a new technology: Modern Arc Grappling Networking Electrons Toward Superspinification.
