Meaning Mnemonic

Hit by a tsunami the drunkard is propelled down a slide where he hits the ground which is covered in fire. He is immediately destroyed.

Hints

Even if he wasn't saved by the slide (to avoid the tsunami) he would be in trouble. Seems like the world just wanted to destroy this drunkard.

Reading Mnemonic

One could say this drunkard met (めつ) his fate.

Hints

Strangely, he just came from a Mets (めつ) game, so maybe that's why he had such bad luck.
