The kingdom once shimmered like gold beneath Humpty-Dumpty's reign, every banner stamped with his face, every speech dripping with his promises. But now the gold had tarnished, the banners drooped, and his promises lay in tatters. In the town squares, protesters filled the streets-chanting, singing, shouting. Their voices rose like thunder: "No more lies No more eggshells " Inside the palace, panic reigned. Missy Spinwell barked orders to her staff, with her eyes bloodshot from too many sleepless nights. Brick Brogan paced like a caged animal, fists twitching to crack heads that wouldn't bow. Reverend Righteous doubled down on his sermons-his voice hoarse from too many fiery declarations. But none of it worked. The kingdom's faith had cracked, and no amount of hashtags or threats could seal the break. Humpty-Dumpty sat in his grand chamber-surrounded by screens flashing with headlines: Humpty's Lies Exposed Humpty's Shell Crumbling Kingdom on the Brink His hands shook. His reflection in the polished table was a broken thing-hairline fractures snaking across his image.
