Eliyah had a stable life—a caring wife, two kids, and a cat named Whiskers. But stability bored him. When he stumbled upon the world of crypto, he saw a chance to escape the mundane and become a billionaire overnight.

Ignoring warnings from his family, he sold their house, emptied their savings, and went all in on BikiniCoin, convinced it was the next big thing. For a brief moment, he felt like a genius as the price surged. But then—crash. In an instant, everything was gone.

With nowhere to go, Eliyah roamed the outskirts of town, scavenging for food. One day, he managed to trap a deer and feasted on its liver, savoring the metallic taste of desperation. Thirsty, he scooped up water from a ditch, only to realize too late that it was mixed with animal waste. He drank anyway.

As the putrid liquid burned his throat, he thought of his family, now living with his in-laws, and Whiskers, who surely had forgotten him. He had traded love for greed, security for a pipe dream.

Under a flickering streetlight, Eliyah sighed. The blockchain didn’t care.
