📍 Location: NecreoNet HQ, Livestreamed Globally
#PurgestreamNow has over 8 billion impressions. All major religions are suing simultaneously.
Mira is sweating under a ring light. Her recently re-deceased cat, Dr. Meow sat on a velvet throne next to her, bathing in a filter called "Heaven Glow™."
They're hosting the first-ever Live Ascension Ceremony™, where the highest-performing Hauntfluencers get sent to "the Cloud" — which means they will literally be uploaded into the algorithm itself and thus achieving true viral enlightenment.
Behind them: a giant spinning wheel labelled
🌀 "WHEEL OF AFTERLIFE™"
There are multiple options to choose from, such as:
✨ Cloudfluencer
🔁 Reincarnated (as your niche aesthetic)
🗑️ Shadowbanned
📉 Purgatory Intern
🐙 NecreoNet Customer Support
A ghost DJ remixes Gregorian chants with lo-fi beats. Someone dressed as Cleopatra dabs in the background. Everyone is sponsored.
🎤 Walter (on stage)
Walter stares at the camera with his eyes wide open and his fingers twitching.
"We were trying to disrupt grief. But grief disrupted us."
He's been wearing the same hoodie for five days. It now features a new logo:
"NecreoNet 2.0 – Death, but Make It Monetizable™"
He flips through a slide deck mid-sentence:
"Thanks to our new Neural Tombstone Interface, your loved ones can now post from the great beyond using your Wi-Fi password and unresolved trauma."
"Also — minor update — the dead have now become unionized."
From the back of the stage, a Ghost Council representative materializes through a fog machine made of essential oils and crushed dream journals.
👻 The Ghost Council's Final Demand
"Effective immediately," the Ghost Council booms in 5.1 surround sound,
"All users will now pay afterlife rent. The longer you trend, the higher the fee."
"Those who fail… will be forgotten."
A scream from the crowd. Not fear — jealousy.
"FORGET ME NEXT!" someone cried "MAKE ME RARE!"
Mira checks her follower count: it's dropping. Dr. Meows' popularity is rising. He's hissing in Latin now.
🧠 The Upload Begins
Previous Walter had one failsafe which was a kill switch. But now it's gone.
Instead, the app boots up with its final update:
🆕 NecreoNet Omega: Post Mortem Prime
"Every user now has one final choice:
Die trending, or live in irrelevance."
A button appears on every living person's phone:
☠️ "Join the Viral Afterlife"
Below it: a video montage of celebrities, cult leaders, and grandmas hitting "Accept."
Within seconds, TokTok dances turn into ritual suicides choreographed to trending audio.
Users start disappearing mid-livestream.
ghostagram updated its Terms of Service:
"You must be dead to use this platform."
🐾 Dr. Meow Ascends
The cat meows into a mic, turns to Mira, and blinks slowly.
"It's time," he says, in the voice of Marman Freemen.
He steps onto the stage and spins the Wheel of Afterlife.
It lands on: ✨ Cloudfluencer.
A beam of divine light shoots through the roof. Doves explode. A sponsorship deal signs itself in the sky.
Dr. Meow vanishes with a final post:
"Meow beyond. 😽☁️"
📴 Mira's Decision
Everyone is dead. Walter's soul has been sold to a crypto exchange. The Ghost Council has now become the board of directors. The world is quiet.
Mira looks at the "Join" button on her phone. Her screen flashes:
"You have 13 followers left. Proceed?"
She hesitates and then clicks on… "Remind Me Later."
She logs out.
She walks outside, she is normal yet not normal. Outside just like before still the same but this same tag is only applicable to the outside.....
The air outside is still the air and it is indeed still.
