• CHAPTER 1: Tragedy at Appliance Direct

    tab Far away, in an abandoned cracker factory, there lies a threat so powerful, so deadly, there is almost no escape from death if one were to challenge it. A terrorist organization plans to take over the cracker factory and rule the world from there, but that’s not important right now.

    tab In a small shack in Singapore, there lived a small 50-year-old man. His name is Rickshaw. Rickshaw tries his best, and after World War II Rickshaw becomes forgotten for his heroic deeds on helping the Allies. Rickshaw enjoys his quiet life, pulling his rickshaw by day and pulling his rickshaw by night, he tries his best all day. One day after talking to Bromley, his friend from WWII, he decided to do the laundry.

    tab He goes to his shed in the backyard. He opens the cupboard and realizes that the Tide is gone. Hmm.. Maybe I misplaced it. Thought Rickshaw, as he stumbles around his laundry shed. Then, a nekkid Gaian child bursts into the room, yelling “OH, YEAH! LET’S GET TO WORK!” Rickshaw later realizes that he has run out of Tide.

    tab Rickshaw decides to take his rickshaw to Appliance Direct to buy some more Tide. Everyone is in panic. There are fires and broken windows and fire hydrants are destroyed. Amidst the chaos, Rickshaw ignores it and enters the Appliance Direct. A panicked customer dashes past Rickshaw, yelling “Help! All the Tide is stolen! Now I can’t do the laundry!” Rickshaw suddenly realizes that he must cope with Dirty clothes.

    tab He tries his best to cope, but a painful 20 seconds later Rickshaw can’t take it anymore. I must find the culprit for this! Thought Rickshaw to himself. Rickshaw then examines the Appliance Direct – Which is now in ruins. It appears that it was a predetermined plan for someone to steal all the Tide, and not just some bike stealer that made a mistake. Rickshaw buys a new washing machine.

    tab Rickshaw decides to go on a journey to find the person who stole all the Tide. As Rickshaw pulls his rickshaw through the city, which is now in ruins because of all the panic and worrying, he sees this graffiti on the wall that read “Mr. Te whuz herr” ... Some grammar... Thought Rickshaw, wondering why the Grammar Police isn’t patrolling the area. Having being distracted of the bad grammar, Rickshaw misses a vital clue to this mystery of missing mystery laundry detergent.
