Once upon a time, in a world not too dissimilar from our own, the impending doom of an asteroid hurtling towards Earth had the entire planet in a frenzy. Panic, chaos, and uncertainty reigned supreme, as people desperately sought a hero to save them from their impending demise. Little did they know that their savior was about to face a bizarre predicament of his own.

Meet Harold, an ordinary guy with extraordinary procrastination skills. While everyone else was scrambling to find solutions, Harold was lounging on his couch, engrossed in a gripping TV series marathon. Blissfully unaware of the impending catastrophe, he was procrastinating like a champion.

As the clock ticked closer to doomsday, the world's leaders reached out to Harold, hoping he possessed the power to stop the cataclysmic event. Reluctantly, Harold tore his gaze away from the TV screen and, with a sigh, decided to heed the call.

Armed with a brilliant mind and sheer laziness, Harold began formulating a plan to save the world. He spent hours daydreaming about fantastic devices and impossible scenarios. However, as soon as he began to implement his ideas, the allure of procrastination struck again. Harold found himself getting distracted by the smallest of tasks—organizing his sock drawer, alphabetizing his book collection, even reorganizing his pantry by color.

Weeks turned into days, and days turned into hours. The world's fate hung in the balance, but Harold's inability to resist the call of procrastination was relentless. He knew he had to act, but there was always something more enticing to do—a new recipe to try, a puppy video compilation to watch, or simply the temptation to take a nap.

As the final minutes approached, Harold, with a mixture of guilt and determination, abandoned his procrastinating ways. He focused all his energy on implementing a last-ditch plan, hoping against hope that it would work. But alas, time was not on his side.

The asteroid made its grand entrance, hurtling towards Earth with a menacing glow. The world held its breath, expecting the worst. And then, in a twist of fate, the asteroid missed Earth by a hair's breadth, grazing the atmosphere and harmlessly continuing its journey into the void of space. The world was saved, but Harold had missed his chance to be the hero.

With a sheepish grin, Harold returned to his couch, ready to immerse himself once more in his beloved TV series. As the world celebrated their unexpected survival, they couldn't help but chuckle at the story of the hero who couldn't help but procrastinate, leaving fate to play its hand.
