Tomatoes may be injurious to health

What Im about to reveal is a divine secret, by revealing which I would be exposing myself and all of the readers to, a death by being struck with a lightning bolt. So people with weak hearts and with a will to live should stop reading.

This story starts in one of the alternative universes, in the one which was the most favoured by the Gods. Though evolution has worked in the same way as on this universe, due to the existence of an extra Sun their world was ahead of the rest of the alternatives by over half a century. Their advancement can be credited to them being smarter and more motivated than the average individual on our beloved Earth. It is due to these characteristics that they were able to advance furthur than the rest and actually succeeded in maintaining relationships with neighbouring planets. But their advancements and their superior level of motivation ironically lead to their eventual destruction.

It all began with the advent a new idea called “Democracy” during the early 1700’s. By the end of the 19th century their whole world was engulfed by it. The old idea of, the occupations of individuals being assigned at birth was discarded. This seemed like a bright idea until the fateful day when a indvidual born to a Software professional couple got fedup with computers and decided to start selling tomatoes. Within 3 weeks he had more than tripled his assets. People around him started to understand the situation and within a year the whole of the city had followed suit and came to be known as the tomato capital of the world. He even succeeded in converting his g33ky parents to normal tomato vendors. The city was flooded with wealth and it began to be called as “Tomato Nox” as a respect to the greatest ruler of all times Hitler.

This is where things started to take a ugly turn. The whole world saw a Tomato boom of the likes which they had never seen before. Countries began promote tomato production with everything they had got and within a decade the whole world had started to produce tomatoes and Earth finally stripped Mars of the title “The Red planet”. Earth became the Tomato capital for the world. It became an unspoken law that “whoever controls the tomato trade controls the planet”. This lead to the infamous “Tomato wars”.

The tomato wars though first between small impoverished countries spread its claws onto the bigger stronger countries as well. Very soon the planet was divided into two alliances headed by “United States of Columbus” and “United Soviet Socialist Democracies”. Not much is known about these wars due to the fact that nothing was left on this Earth. And very soon the planet was declared as barren.

The Gods couldnt handle the sorrow of their favourite universe being destroyed. So after a decade of discussions they cameup with a plan to save the rest of the universes from destroying themselves.
Note :- Next part will feature their ingenious plan.
