The cave Anger walls in travelers. It grows unfathomably deep. One arrives at Anger by foot or by climbing down the Hopeless cliffs or by rowing down the Threatened river.
Like a honeycombed hive, there are many ways to enter Anger. It is bigger inside than out.
“No!” a shout echoes through the entire land.
Angerians subsist on mushrooms that grow in the dank caves. Warmth rises from the bubbling lava pit. It belches noxious fumes. Visitors bottle the water of Anger that drips off stalactites. They poison their enemies and intoxicate foes to convince them to follow their ways.
Hoards of visitors venture to Anger to feast on mushroom meals.
Angerians often march to other lands to share their rage.
“They are frightening, but sometimes useful allies,” says General Kilgore.
By the shores of the lava field lies the capitol city Taunted. Lava bubbles around it. Everyone visits Taunted as a child. It’s known for its parks. Children ride the Threatened River to Anger and down to the lava city Taunted. They eat lava candy and drink lava shakes. They take home lava rocks as souvenirs. They shout and run and add to the general chaos. Taunted caters to these young tourists.
“They learn about Anger and what we stand for,” says General Kilgore.
Children may go back several times in their childhood.
Taunted has attempted draw in adult visitors. But it never appeals. Adults chaperone reluctantly and usually send children away to Taunted for summer camps. It often puts people off Anger altogether.
“There are far better places to holiday,” says Miss Emeline Traveler.
Only the very young are amused by Taunted’s antics: the silly names of the guides, streets, and food kiosks. They find everything funny. Whereas most adults are only irritated.
