Introduction
The newly-chosen Junior Editors were debating the topic for their own Cuspidor Issue.
“It’s got to be eye-catching, since it's our first issue,” Vivek remarked.
“Well, what’s been done in the past?” Victoria asked.
Emma began to recite. “There was the biological heart, Among Us, and they even did Disney once!”
Jessie suddenly spoke up. “Well this is our issue, right? So this is kind of like the future of Cuspidor!”
Will mused. “The future…What if we do just that? Kind of like Cyberpunk 2077!”
After a unanimous agreement from the Senior Editors, the Junior Editors had chosen their very first topic: The Future!
