THE FUSE

Once upon a time, there was a planet populated by many species, one in particular that had a unique diet. In addition to the basics that they had in common with the other species on the planet, they needed a special resource. Without it, they felt starved, stressed, distracted, uneasy, and unable to function. So there was intense competition for this one special resource. It was as invisible as air, but people could track who was getting it and who wasn’t.
