Just gonna leave this here.

A picture from S3E8 Twilight Zone 'It's A Good Life'. The main character, a boy named Timmy, is seated on top of a piano looking pleased with himself. Surrounded behind him are a group of five adults smiling with trepidation. They are afraid, because the premise of the episode is Timmy has seemingly god-like powers. If the townspeople do not keep Timmy happy at all times, and do everything he says, how he wants, when he wants, Timmy will not hesitate to yeet any one of them out of existence.
