Apocalyptic Forces Invade Central Tehran: A Fictional Gaming-World Scenario
Tehran Becomes an Apocalyptic Battlefield
In this fictional scenario, the invasion does not begin with a conventional army.
Instead, mysterious creatures emerge from enormous portals appearing above central Tehran.
The portals resemble cracks in the sky—black openings surrounded by a strange red glow. They expand slowly, swallowing patches of daylight and casting enormous shadows over the streets.
People run.
Cars stop in the middle of intersections.
Shopkeepers pull down shutters.
Parents grab their children and search for shelter.
The video game store that had been attracting customers only moments earlier becomes an unexpected refuge.
Its bright displays remain illuminated while the street outside descends into chaos.
Inside, shelves filled with video game accessories, toys, action figures and collectibles suddenly look almost absurd against the unfolding disaster.
A young boy stares at one of the masked performers through the shop window.
The performer is no longer entertaining the crowd.
He is watching the sky.
The contrast becomes one of the defining images of the fictional story: a brightly decorated gaming store surrounded by an increasingly dark Tehran.
