"Hatto Hobell."

Yes. This is the perfect title for your mental adventure. You begin thinking of it immediately, unaware that you are, by sheer coincidence, perfectly describing events that happened in the distant past. Your only concern is being worn.

You are now the Wicked Witch of the East, and you have a new job managing weather control. You are unaware of the fact that your actions are the subject of a mental adventure eons in the future after the destruction of a universe which may or may not be your own.

You are also, at present, unaware of the importance of the phrase "Hatto Hobell", even though its destiny is about to become deeply intertwined with your own.

You are further unaware that your actions today will lead to a complete stranger gaining superpowers, which will ultimately lead to him winning a fortune from you in a game of poker years in the future.

In fact, there are quite a large number of highly relevant things you are currently unaware of. A hypothetical narrator could go on for days listing them all. But of more interest are the things that you are aware of.

The first thing you are aware of is that there is a large cloud over the Emerald City. This was an error caused by one of your subordinates. The cloud is about to drop hail upon the city, and as the only actual competent person in the department, it's up to you to stop it.

This would ordinarily be a simple task, were it not for the second thing you are aware of. Namely, that a house is hurtling through the sky and heading directly for your position.

You have exactly enough time to either destroy the cloud and prevent the hailstorm, or to get out of the way of the incoming house. This is the difficult dilemma you face, and you are about to make a decision...

But suddenly, and without warning, the rotation of the planet reverses. As a result of this, everything start spinning and the house gets flung through the cloud, dispersing it. You and the city are both saved!

You soon realize that the consequences go far beyond this, however, as you find your wickedness dissipating. It turns out that the planet was rotating the wrong way in the first place. With the rotation restored, everything goes into balance and evil is eliminated, a fact that the recently-elected skeleton president will be quick to take credit for.

You, on the other hand, know better. You know that this is the work of aliens. And now that they've restored the correct direction of rotation and eradicated evil from the world, the only proper thing to do is thank them for it.

How are you going to do that? And what does it have to do with a "Hatto Hobell", whatever that is?
