Exploding blast furnace creates duck sanctuary
Sat Jan 24, 2026 3:11 pm
Two months ago, a poorly maintained boning joint in the Shangentao blast furnace in North Marmurnia resulted in an explosion that registered on seismic detectors on the other side of the planet.
Though, luckily, only a few people were killed in the explosion, the blast furnace was a key component in the Marmurnian economy, and its loss triggered an economic collapse that devastated the lives of the Marmurnian peasants living in the region. Thousands have died from malnutrition, typhoid is now rife and millions are now living in abject poverty.
On the bright side, the crater left by the exploding furnace has become a sanctuary for ducks, who like having a paddle in the little lake that has formed there.
