Synopsis
Dear
Citizen:
Thank
you for your loyalty. You’ve no doubt noticed that the world is a troubled
place. People are apathetic, lazy, unmotivated. You’ve probably asked yourself
WHY
ISN’T ANYTHING BEING DONE TO STOP THIS
SYSTEMATIC
DECLINE?
Rest
assured that measures are being taken. Beginning immediately, we will randomly
select a different citizen each day who will be killed within 24 hours of
notification. We believe this will help remind all people how precious life is
and how important it is to be a productive, active member of society.
Thanks
you for your continued attention and your cooperation and participation....
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU
HAVE BEEN RANDOMLY SELECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT... TO DIE IN 24 HOURS!
