Open Windows 95.

You log into the computer and wait several minutes for it to start up. When it does, it starts with a tiny window outlined in blue; it's an error message. It reads, "The wizard has stopped," it reads with a big "OK" button. You press it and another error pulls up. "The paladin has stopped." Well, "OK" you suppose, as you click. The next message reads, "The monk has stopped," then, "The rogue has stopped," and finally, "The cleric has stopped." There are more, but the format is a little different. The icon on the next error message is an ominous skull and crossbones. It says, "The evil warlock has defeated the party." Well, that's something. You go ahead and cick okay. The next error is, "The evil warlock has summoned the Terrasque and begun armageddon." You click "OK" to that, too; you're getting bored. It looks like that was the last error, though; we've moved on to a green loading bar which is slowly filling. You stand around, waiting for what seems far too long. Finally, the bar is full; it disappears and the computer displays the message, "Shutting down."

Then you hear a terrifying shrieking roar in the distance. The ground begins to shake, faintly at first, but then harder; it's almost like a terrible huge creature is sprinting towards you home to end your life. The next thing you know, a gargantuan beast made of all spikes and fangs lining a hard carapace is ripping through your home and rending you in half, before taking its unstoppable rage through the rest of the world.

You spent your last moments on Earth clicking through Windows 95 errors.
