When Lightning Strikes the Shit: How a Nerd’s Wish Turned Into a Black‑Market Organ Deal in an ‘80s‑Style Startup Saga
A bullied nerd wishes for a friend; lightning turns a giant poop into Richard Blouin, who starts a black‑market organ startup with the bullies as partners. Milo becomes its face, watching the venture profit from victims, a dark satire on greed and misplaced ambition.
The Bully, the Pile, and the Wish
Setting the Scene: 80s Cinema Tropes Meet Gross Humor
Picture a dimly lit high‑school hallway drenched in neon, synth‑driven soundtrack blasting in the background, and a group of jocks led by the archetypal bully, Chad “The Crusher” McGlove, who delights in crushing anyone who dares to be different.
In the corner, clutching a battered copy of Neuromancer, sits Milo—an under‑dog nerd whose social capital is measured in pocket protectors and outdated BASIC code.
One fateful lunchtime, Milo’s lunchbox is hijacked and dumped on the floor, revealing a grotesque, man‑sized mound of human feces—an absurd visual gag straight out of a John Hughes fever dream.
The bullies laugh, slap Milo’s back, and shove him into the stench. Humiliated, Milo whispers a desperate wish into the air: “I wish I had a friend who could stand up to these idiots.”
The scene freezes, a lightning bolt of cinematic irony flashes across the screen, and the audience is left wondering if the wish is just cheap comedy or the seed of something far darker.
Lightning, Transformation, and the Rise of Richard Blouin
From Man‑Sized Shit to Shadowy Entrepreneur
That lightning isn’t metaphorical. It actually strikes the pile of excrement, igniting a bizarre alchemical reaction that transforms the waste into a sentient, hyper‑intelligent entity: Richard Blouin.
Blouin emerges with the swagger of a Silicon Valley disruptor, the charisma of a charismatic founder, and the moral compass of a late‑stage startup that’s just discovered a lucrative loophole.
Fast forward a few years. Blouin tracks down Milo, now a low‑level tech support employee, and offers him a partnership that reads like a pitch deck for a black‑market biotech unicorn.
“We’ve identified a massive inefficiency in the organ procurement market,” Blouin says, eyes flickering with the same manic energy that once powered his lightning‑induced rebirth.
He proposes to monetize the very bodies that once bullied Milo, turning the victims’ organs into high‑value assets for the highest bidders.
With a blend of venture‑capital jargon—“scalable supply chain,” “disruptive value proposition,” “exponential ROI”—Blouin convinces Milo that this isn’t revenge; it’s a market opportunity.
Milo, still haunted by the memory of that humiliating pile, signs on as the “Chief Empathy Officer”, a title that sounds impressive but essentially means he will be the face of a morally bankrupt enterprise.

Black‑Market Organ Deal: The Dark Aftermath
How a Nerd’s Wish Fueled a Sinister Startup Saga
The deal goes live under the codename “Project Excreta.” Bullies, now rebranded as “Strategic Partners,” supply the raw material—organ donors who are either unwitting or coerced.
Blouin’s operation uses a network of underground labs, encrypted communications, and a blockchain‑based ledger to track each organ from extraction to sale.
The revenue model is simple: each organ fetches a premium price on the dark web, and a percentage flows back to the bullies as “protective royalties.”
Within six months, the startup reaches a valuation of $300 million, attracting the attention of shady venture funds that specialize in “high‑risk, high‑reward” ventures.
Press releases are carefully crafted to highlight the “innovative biotech solution to organ scarcity,” while the actual logistics remain hidden behind layers of anonymity.
Meanwhile, Milo watches the empire he helped build grow, realizing that his original wish—an ally to stand up to the bullies—has been perverted into a system where the bullies profit from his suffering.
The irony is as thick as the original pile of waste that birthed Blouin. In a final, cinematic twist, a second bolt of lightning strikes the headquarters, illuminating a wall of trophies: each one a harvested organ, each one a testament to the perverse alchemy of 80s nostalgia, startup hype, and unchecked greed.
For anyone navigating today’s hyper‑competitive startup ecosystem, the tale serves as a cautionary parable: when you let a wish for power drive your product‑market fit, you may end up building a black‑market empire that even the most seasoned “founder‑bro” would struggle to justify.
The real lesson? Some piles are better left untouched.
