A single butterfly flapping it's wings in China can cause a hurricane over here.
Or something like that.
Mrs. Jones was wearing a butterfly shirt one morning as she bought some coffee from Starbucks. This set off a chain reaction that led to the end of the world.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a vaguely logical chain of events leading from Mrs. Jones buying coffee to the end of the world- whatever end you please.
Make it ridiculously complicated, make it amusing.
Bonus points if you work in the word zygomorpic.

Mrs. Jones walked into the local Starbucks wearing her trendy new butterfly shirt to buy her coffee on the last morning that the world would exist. "One double-caramel-iced-latte-extra-sugar-extra-cream-hold-the-whipped-cream" she said quickly. She had gone to Starbucks every day for the last three years of her life; she was positive they knew her order by now and didn't really need to hear it anyway.
However, she had accidentally gone into the Starbucks across the street from her usual one, so the waiter had no idea what she had ordered and instead of her coffee, gave her a zygomorphic flower. Mrs. Jones couldn't figure out how the waiter had gotten "zygomorphic flower" out of "double-caramel-iced-latte-etc.," so she blew up at him.
"How dare you give me this... this, thing! instead of my coffee! Don't you know my order?! I'm your best customer!" And with that, she threw the flower in the waiter's face and stormed out of the Starbucks without paying.
Now, the waiter, whose name was Thunderbolt, decided he'd had enough of this. When he went home that night, he decided that his job was going nowhere, so he might as well start an intercontinental DEFCON game with real nukes. He began plans to "acquire" some uranium to make his bombs with.
The next day, he did not show up at his Starbucks job, because he was out in a catsuit half-way around the world trying to steal uranium. His boss was not happy with this, since he was supposed to be there, and treated all the customers (who were supposed to be dealt with by Thunderbolt) very rudely. Mrs. Jones was one of them, and this time, she'd had enough.
She took the manager by the collar and demanded to know why she had the image of a zygomorphic flower imprinted on her hand where Thunderbolt had handed it to her. The unfortunate manager had no idea what she was talking about, and ended up defenestrated. The alarms for the Starbucks went off as the windows broke, and Mrs. Jones was sent to jail for disorderly conduct and the wearing of gang logos.
Thunderbolt, meanwhile, had succeeded in his quest for the uranium and was humming happily as he made nukes out of them. He decided that the first place he would hit would be the Starbucks where he worked, and where people had been so rude to him.
Mrs. Jones couldn't take prison life and went stark-raving mad within minutes. She formulated wild plans to escape, each of which failed spectacularly and lead to the guards headdesking violently. Finally, they headdesked so much that their brains were scrambled and they could no longer even think of stopping her - they couldn't think at all.
Thunderbolt launched his nuke the next day. Unfortunately, he was not nearly as good at creating targeting systems as he was at making nukes, and accidentally hit the prison instead of the Starbucks. Mrs. Jones was half-way out the window when this happened, and somehow, instead of getting incinerated, she was irradiated to the point where she mutated into a gigantic zygomorphic flower that rolled around the city flattening buildings.
The Department of Homeland Security, not knowing about Thunderbolt's nuclear capabilities, immediately assumed it was a terrorist attack and nuked Iran. This would not have done much except wipe out Iran if one of the nukes hadn't overshot and hit Russia.
Russia fired back, several other nuclear powers got caught in the crossfire and started firing as well, and soon enough, all the nukes in the world had been exploded, creating nuclear winter.
The only survivor was Mrs. Jones, whose zygomorphic flower form only grew when hit by a nuke or the radiation from one. She finally grew so heavy that the Earth itself couldn't stand her weight and cracked in two.
And that was how Mrs. Jones buying coffee led to the end of the world. ^_^

Put ze second image as my custom title. o.0 that's a really nifty trick. I've seen it done on another forum before. That's how I knew about it. ...of course, once you realize that UBB code can be put in custom titles, it's just common sense... ^_^; Though, I probably wouldn't have thought of it if I hadn't seen it before. |
