Chapter 1 : The Darkened Sky

A gigantic frying pan bore down on the out-of-sphere shapped planet. Clearly, it was a non stick frying pan. Circular grooves could be seen at the bottom of the pan..
And WHAM!
The frying pan hit the planet.
The planet was blue-ish, of the color of the lapis lazuli gem. Some blueish bloodlike liquid splashed out when the gigantic frying pan hit the planet. The "blood" looked very like water.
WHAM!
WHAM!
BANG!
PLONK!
Soon, the blue planet was flat. A gigantic hand picked up the planet, and put it on the insides of the frying pan. The people of the planet could feel the teflon surface of the frying pan. Some even called it the Teflon Sky.
Then the frying pan was moved over to the sun.
And the sun's heat and fire began to fry the planet in the frying pan.
Olive oil was added, and the giant hand began tossing the now-flat planet on the frying-pan.

Yoriko lay in bed, in her underwear, day dreaming.. or rather, night dreaming. What if indeed, Planet Earth was flat, and lay on a frying pan with the sun underneath it?

Soon-to-be-fried would be a better word for it.
Although she was a basic 21st century girl, she has had these wonderful imaginations of the what-ifs...
