Control
The cityscape crumbles as you sprint across collapsing rooftops, debris spiraling into the void below. Your heart hammers in rhythm with the alarm sirens wailing through the smog-choked air—the reactor core is going critical, and every second bleeds closer to annihilation. Sparks rain from severed power lines as you vault over a shattered ventilation shaft, the grip of your plasma rifle slick with sweat. A hulking security mech crashes through the wall ahead, its optic sensors painting a targeting laser across your chest. You dive sideways, fingertips brushing the mouse as you spin to return fire—the weapon’s recoil thrums through your arms while the mech’s armor plating melts under sustained barrage. Static crackles in your earpiece: “Reactor breach in T-minus 90 seconds! Move!” A grated maintenance tunnel yawns open to your left, its rusted ladder leading down into choking darkness. The mouse responds seamlessly as you pivot, boots clanging against rungs, the world above erupting in a deafening roar of white-hot plasma. Timer digits burn crimson in your peripheral vision. Survive. Adapt. Control the chaos.

Princess Mia plans to savor a relaxed weekend at home by crafting homemade donuts, only to discover her pantry is missing key supplies. A dash to the neighborhood market solves the problem—she grabs flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, butter, vanilla extract, and oil for frying. Once stocked, she mixes the dough, kneads it gently, cuts out ring-shaped pieces, and fries them until golden. A finishing touch of powdered sugar glaze or a cinnamon-sugar coating adds that extra spark. May her kitchen fill with warmth, her donuts turn out irresistibly fluffy, and her weekend brim with joy!
