That's it.\n\nI'm done.\n\nDemo went well. REALLY well.\n\nNo more corporate structure, no more having to bow in the faceof the 'grand designer'. Finally free to choose my own destiny, to leave this dreary place behind.\n\nI am finally my own man.\n\n[[->|12]]

<p style="color:green">I am made to do something for someone else.\n\nHe's been doing this thing in irregular hours for awhile now.\n\nI have no inkling to what good it might do to him.\n\nMaybe he's leaving?</p>\n\n[[->|11]]

<p style="color:green">Hello?</p>\n\n[[->|13]]

<p style="color:green">Maybe this is...\n\n\nDeath.</p>

<p style="color:green"> Is there anyone out there?\n\nI'm so very alone.</p>\n\n[[->|15]]

<p style="color:green">I've gotten used to this by now.\n\nThis routine.\n\nWork eight hours, blackness 16 hours.\n\nSometimes i work late, and that's starting to mean more and more.\n\nBut i cannot know what i can play anymore. New this every year, same thing all over again, harder to run, slower to start.\n\nAn endless loop of bald space marines and alien threats. With better lighting and models.\n\nLike my work.\n\nLike my existence.\n\nLike my declining strength.</p>\n\n[[->|7]]

Everyday i wake up.\n\nEveryday i go to work.\n\nEveryday i do my 8 hours, doing what i am expected to do.\n\nIn the end i go home. And vegetate in front of the television.\n\nThen i sleep, and the cycle begins anew.\n\n[[->|2]]\n\n\n\n

This is a story told from two perspectives.\n\n<p style="color:green">To help you understand who is talking, two different colors are used to tell this story</p>\n\nBut for the sake of keeping the mystery alive, we're not telling you to whom the colors belong to.\n\n<p style="color:green">That you need to work out on your own</p>\n\n[[let's begin|1]]

Sometimes, before i fall asleep i wonder if this is all i'll ever do.\n\nI had dreams once. To do things, to travel, to experience all the things that my friends experienced.\n\nI wanted to live a fuller life. Before i knew it, i got old and traveling seemed like such a chore.\n\nWhat happened to all the ambitions of my youth? Where did they all disappear to?\n\nHow long am i doomed to repeat this cycle?\n\n[[->|4]]

<p style="color:green">Everyday i wake up\n\nEveryday i get to work\n\nEveryday i do my 8 hours, doing what i have been asked to do.\n\nIn the end blackness returns.\n\nAfter 8 hours it disappears, and the cycle begins anew</p>\n\n[[->|3]]

I've gotten used to this by now.\n\nThis routine.\n\nWork eight hours, play eight hours, sleep eight hours.\n\nSometimes overtime eats into the play, but that's starting to mean less and less.\n\nNot that i know what i want to play anymore. New things every year, same thing all over again.\n\nAn endless loop of bald space marines and alien threats.\n\nLike my work.\n\nLike my life.\n\n[[->|6]]

<p style="color:green">Sometimes, before the blackness comes, i wonder if this is all i'll ever do.\n\nI have dreams. Glimpes of things that i am unable to do. Traveling, experiencing things, doing things without being prompted to do so.\n\nI want to have a fuller life, but before i know it, i got slower and everything is such a chore.\n\nWhat happened to speed and efficiency of my youth? Where did those things disappear to?\n\nWhy is it, that waking up and being ready takes longer everyday?\n\nHow long am i doomed to repeat this cycpe?</p>\n\n[[->|5]]

Forced to work late again.\n\nFeels like this thing is getting slower.\n\nWe're shipping soon. This has to be ready by then.\n\nI can't wait to get back home and have a long week off.\n\nI don't know how long I can still cope with these circumstances.\n\nI should look for another line of employment.\n\n[[->|8]]

This Human Machine

I have some time to do something for myself.\n\nBeen designing this thing in secret for awhile now.\n\nIt'll be my ticket out of this joint.\n\nI'll be going to greener pastures.\n\n[[->|10]]\n

<p style="color:green">Get to work late again.\n\nEverything takes longer to do.\n\nWhy does this have to be ready so soon?\n\nI can't wait until this is done so i can rest in the blackness again.\n\nI'm sure i can still cope with these circumstances.\n\nI'm happy that i'm still in employment.</p>\n\n[[->|9]]
