How she terminated me...

People needed to be dealt with. The sooner the better. Apparently there were a lot of techniques to do this aforementioned dealing with. The most ingenious one was called abbreviation. Abbreviation as a technique of terminating people was not ever considered. I mean one abbreviated a perfectly nice name like Siddharth to Sid just because you hated them, you did it because it was cool. More often than not the person with the long name gave it its abbreviation quite simply because it was cool. You had to be a million kinds of idiot to think that. How would a Karuppusaamy who got abbreviated to Karu ever be cool. He couldn't fill out his passport as Karu right? Or his company recruitment form? So anyway, this is not some philosophical smart aleck commentary on naming and how they affect the day-to-day psychology of names and their affects on the people who own them.

It is in this uber urban scenario that exists a killer, a life terminator, a person who killed people with a new technique. She had stumbled upon reliable research that stated "once a person who is renamed in an abbreviated form they cease to exist". Take for instance a perfectly innocent paavam boy called John Smith who was happy being a shopkeeper and some eejit who had time and inspiration decided to call him "007", and now a shopkeeper is a cult spy. John will never forget where he comes from but then when you were 007 and all those gadgets, babes, and that adrenalin was with you all the time, you didn't want to go back and be John Smith! That was just plain idiotic!

The protagonist of this story, Shru, formerly known as Shruthi, was a nice simple girl. She was an everyday wallflower who went about life in her own way. Then someone decided that Shruthi was too common and she became Shru, and from that day the wallflower just morphed into a whole new person. Her normalness just was not normal anymore. When she walked in a room it just became a slow mo reel, her hair flew behind her, her clothes skimmed her skin just so. It was all so perfectly straight out of a movie that it made her cringe sometimes. How in the hell did she go from being a simple country bumpking type thing to some kind of superstar wannabe. That is when it hit her, this nonsense had been happening ever since she got abbreviated. Since her call out became Shru, things just kept getting ridiculouser, stupid, and just slightly beyond insane.

She decided then that it would be pure revenge for all of her friends. They did this to her and she was going to do them a favor back. She was going to abbreviate them all and terminate them and their liveds forever! So, she started a whole new trend of monikering that would change the face of the earth. She became the Abbreviator. The eliminator of country bumpkinness and such uncool things. Her changes made personalities out of insipid people and inspired a social revolution. So if you ever travel somewhere new and you see how perfectly airbrushed everyone looks you know who is at work.
