One second you're at the fanciest yacht party in the entire ocean. The next second — FWOOMP — a wave the size of a building picks up the whole yacht and yeets it sideways.
You are Gorillionaire. You own seventeen yachts. And somehow, all seventeen of them are somewhere else right now.
You wash up on a tiny island beach, your white linen suit dripping, your diamond cane still somehow in your robotic hand. The ocean tastes like salt and bad decisions. Estephen crawls out of the surf beside you, his neon scales flickering between panicked pink and sea-sick green, one cowboy boot full of a small crab.
"Technically," Estephen says, pouring the crab out, "this happens to the best of us, bro."
You stare at the ocean. You stare at the empty horizon. A single gold-foil party balloon drifts past, which feels personally rude.
This is unacceptable.
