A novelette written by vivitheg which imagines a scenario that trolls have imagined for some time - what if Chris ruled the world?

A copy was sent to Chris. His response was "I like the cover" and expressed concerns that he was being charged for it.

Plot Summary

Chapter 1: Neighbors

A young girl named Kid has just moved to a new city with her parents, Miles and Mimi, and her older sister, Vivian. Vivian quickly gets bored and brings Kid with her to meet their new next-door neighbor, a boy named “Christopher Winnfield Vega”.

Christopher, who goes by “Chris”, goes into great detail explaining to Vivian and Kid how he once lost his gal-pal, Melanie. Getting creeped out, Vivian tells Kid that Chris is “Santa Claus’s evil brother”, and the two of them flee the house.

After hearing about how rudely Vivian treated Chris, Mimi invites Chris over for dinner as a way of patching things up. Chris shudders to learn that Mimi’s racial identity is part-African, but he nevertheless graciously accepts the invitation.

Chapter 2: Memories

Vivian is desperate to learn more about Chris, so she brings Kid with her to Waynesworth Enterprises to find and question Melanie, who works there. Soon after arriving at Waynesworth, Vivian admits to Kid that Chris isn’t really “evil Santa”… just a terrible person.

Once Vivian and Kid locate Melanie, who goes by “Mel”, they’re told all about how she has a restraining order against Chris because of his constant sexual harassment in the past. Mel insists on telling the girls’ parents about Chris, and she heads home with the two of them.

As the girls return, Chris notices from his bedroom window that Mel is with them, and he assumes that Vivian and Kid are trying to help him reunite with her. He labors to make himself look presentable and shows up next door only to be told by Mimi that dinner is off.

Chapter 3: Cops

Kid emerges from her room to find the house in ruins. Turning on the news, she learns that her family, Mel, Chris, and the police are all involved in one big high-speed chase. Chris can't be stopped because a new law states that harming him in any way may result in life imprisonment.

As the family’s car runs out of gas, Miles is forced to pull over into a gas station. Chris pulls over in turn and heads after Mel on foot. Soon, Chris has lowered his pants around his ankles only to trip over them, and the police have rescued Mel and Kid's family for the time being.

While everyone is waiting around at the police station, Chris’s half-brother, Jones Brimley, shows up and offers to let them all stay at his place, where they should be safe from Chris. Meanwhile, back at the gas station, Chris finally picks himself up and resumes his hunt for Mel.
