> look
You are in the northeast corner of an abandoned warehouse. "Dank" is a word that is thrown around a lot these days, and all of those thrown "danks" appear to have landed here. The thick layer of dust and grime provides a welcome break from the otherwise featureless metal cavern.
In front of you are a small desk, a worn-out broom, and six million Jews.
> x Jews
They are a gaunt bunch, thoroughly demoralized, and quite naked. Two million of them fiddle idly with the broom.
> x desk
There is a small mirror on the desk.
> x mirror
You take a gander at your striking visage, made all the more striking by the carefully cropped, narrow tuft of black hair upon your lip.
Somewhere in the back of your mind, an idea takes hold.
> kill jews
You reach the defining moment of your existence, as one by one, you bring the Jew scourge to an end! Their screams rattle in a satisfying din against the walls of the warehouse.
