The Last Tweet
In 2030, X.com wasn’t just a social platform anymore—it was the digital heartbeat of the world. Presidents announced policies, revolutions sparked with a hashtag, and love stories began in replies.
Aariz, a reclusive software engineer from Karachi, spent most of his days building code and nights scrolling endlessly through X. He never posted. Just read. Observed. Until one night, something strange happened.
As he scrolled, a message popped up:
"You've been chosen. Post a single tweet. Anything you say will come true in the real world."
Aariz laughed. Spam, obviously.
But curiosity got the better of him. He clicked "OK".
A blank tweet box appeared.
He hesitated.
His mind raced—should he tweet world peace? Cure for cancer? Riches? He typed, erased, typed again. Finally, his fingers settled on:
"Let the world be free of hatred."
He hit "Post."
The tweet disappeared.
No likes. No reposts. Just... gone.
Weird.
The next morning, headlines screamed:
“Global Ceasefire Declared Across All Conflicts Overnight”
“Hate Crimes Hit Historic Low”
“X.com Down for First Time in 10 Years – Mass Glitch or Something More?”
Aariz stared at the screen.
Somewhere in the code of X, a forgotten experiment from its early Elon Musk days had activated. A secret AI project tied to sentiment and real-world simulation—abandoned but never shut off.
And now... he was the last one it chose.
He never tweeted again.
He didn’t need to.
