Oscar From On My Block

2053—The year of Global Famine. The government of UNC locked 81% of the population inside their homes and left them to starve. Officially it was "resource management," but in reality, the rich had sealed the poor and average while keeping themselves free with the last remaining food. Oscar Kingston was one of the locked-up majority, expected to rot quietly in his apartment with the little provisions he had. But he was going to dig himself out of the locked apart. While digging beneath the house he found a large sealed box. Inside was the entire outside world in miniature—every city, every starving street, every collapsing government. Everything happening beyond his walls was happening inside the box. Realizing this, Oscar decided to become God. When the people outside cried for water, Oscar dipped a plastic cap of a Coca-Cola bottle into his last reservoir and dropped it into the center of the miniature world. In the real world, the grounds of the country shook violently. A massive water tank the size of a city block suddenly dropped from heaven in the middle of the dying country. When they cried for rice, he placed one boiled grain of rice on the surface. In reality, the earth buckled again. A hundred-foot mountain of rice crashed down from the sky—enough to feed the entire nation for a month. The survivors fell to their knees in the dust: “What God is doing this? Can you hear us?” “God, what is your name?” “God, how do we worship you?” In the dark of his ruined apartment, Oscar smiled. He would tell them to gather every scrap of gold, food, clothes and every remaining bill they still possessed… and leave it all at Apartment 101, Swamp Estate. That was his address!
