Make a salad

But you hate celery! Seriously, where would you get the idea to eat celery, you'd either have to be influenced by extradimensional voices or get zapped with a bad idea ray of some kind to think of something like that.

Wait a minute...

Create a bad idea ray to shoot the celery with, hoping that bad ideas will lead to its demise

If you had a bad idea ray, you could use it to shoot the celery and... you've completely lost your train of thought, but it doesn't matter because you're already thinking about how to make a bad idea ray. You rush off and start working on that, ignoring the everpresent pile of celery as best you can.

After months of effort, during which you inadvertently zap yourself with the ray several times and come up with such bad ideas as not installing an off switch, it's complete. You celebrate by pointing the ray at the celery until, well, until something happens.

But what is it that you're doing, exactly?

Kill yourself

Oh. Your future self just fell out of the celery pile, dead. That was weird. You suppose that prolonged exposure to bad ideas is fatal, or maybe your future self just had the bad idea to choke on a piece of celery.

Well, whatever happened here, your dead future self is freaking you out. You need to find some way to hide the body. What are you going to do?
