📼✨ THE TODAY HOARDERS ✨📼 The city that had everything... except tomorrow! 🕰️🏙️ NARRATOR — “Now then, ladies and gentlemen, gather round! Because I have an extraordinary tale to tell you, and believe me, you won't want to miss a single second of it! Not one second! Not even the bit between the seconds!

MAYOR — “Why, if today is this splendid, what possible reason could anyone have for wanting another one?!” 😎✨ MRS. CASSETTE — “Quite right, Mayor! I've just bought twelve cassette players, thirty-seven tapes, and enough batteries to power a small spaceship! And tomorrow, I shall buy twelve more!” 📼🔋🚀 MR.
