Somewhere in a dark corner of a distant dimension, Alkazar The All Powerful watched the daily lives of the the inhabitants of a small planet located in the spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. Known as Earth by the natives, it was, so far as Alkazar was concerned, a small and insignificant world, circling an equally small and insignificant star.
Despite it's seeming insignificance however, Alkazar found it's inhabitants fascinating.

Turning a small fraction of his vast intellect towards the decision in question, Alkazar considered all the possibility's in the most minute detail, determining what method was the most likely to bring forth the sort of entertainment he desired, deciding after a few microseconds........... | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
