Say, one day you're coming home from work. Work was hard today. You manager yelled at you and told you that you screw up one more time, you're fired. You half listened cause you were tired, which is normal for you lately.
Anyways, you get to your house, but it is blocked off by a police baracade. Apparently, some obsessed comic book fan, dressed as the Green Goblin, killed your wife and child, rather brutally. For days, you can't sleep. Every moment of your life only amplifies the inner pain you are experiencing.
A few months later, you tirelessly try to fall asleep. Suddenly, the room starts to change to blackness. You try to run, but the darkness consumes all around you, until there is nothing. Alone in this void you sit and think for several mintues. You think to yourself this must be a dream. Suddenly, you hear a voice saying "Welcome." You look all around for the source of this noise. You turn around, and see a normal looking man. Nothing particularly stands out about him.
"Who are you?" You ask in a nervous tone.
"My name is Jerry. I am the lord of time itself."
"The lord of time itself?" You ask. You know you're dreaming now.
"Yes. You see, it is my job to balance the stream of time."
"Why am I here?" You ask, feeling foolish.
"Cause I was never good at my job."
You ask for proof, and he discusses you entire life to the T. You are now convinced he is legit.
"What do you want?" You ask curiously.
"I come to you with a proposition. While I know all about your life and the rather grusome details of your family's murder, I also know of the man whom killed your family. I am giving you a chance to undo that event."
"I get to kill that man before it happend?"
"You misunderstand. Where is the fun in that?" He hands you a hammer.
"What's this for?"
"Your mission, _________, is to go back in time, and kill your childhood idol Stan Lee, before he creates his characters at Marvel, with this hammer, and it must be with this hammer."
"Why the hammer?"
"Because it won't be quick, painless, or unpersonal. Without his creations, that man never comes to your house, or kills your family. But know this, you also deny everyone in the world these creations, and thus taking away their sources of hope in the process."
"Why are you doing this?" You ask, rather conflicted.
"This is when the job is fun" he says with an evil smile on his face.
My question here is, do you do it or not? Is bettering your own life worth taking something special to others away forever? Also, you can't create these characters yourself. Upon abaondoning the task or completing it, you are taken back to your time, and if you do it lose all memory of said Marvel characters.
You choose!
