Challenge #04228-K210: Not So Dead End

"I am here to end you."

I'll work, I'll atone, I'll do whatever you ask of me, just please, I don't want to die.

"Live by the rules you gave those you harmed, and give all those you harmed YOUR life and go through therapy and be monitored."

Alright, I agree. -- Fighting Fit

Kamiron was going to live. He was also going to live to regret his choices, too. He had to live as his former employees lived. Forsaking his fortune and holdings to pay for the rehabilitation of all the others. All to save his neck from the intevitability of Pax Humanis.

His life was the booth, now, a tiny space with a cot and a closet washroom. Work for all waking hours on the things passing through the conveyor, taking breaks only for the bathroom or sleep. Food and hydration came in a tube and was directly tied to his ability to reach quota. Which changed randomly. If he hurt from his efforts, he needed to toughen up. If he was too tired, he didn't eat. If he took too many bathroom breaks, he didn't eat. If he didn't make enough product... he didn't eat.

It took two months for him to start wondering if he'd gone to Hell and not noticed.
He didn't even last half a year before he begged Pax Humanis to end him. In another three months, he did everything he could to escape the booth.

It's Friday!

There was a blackout, last night, so I got forcibly booted from my Delta Rune game. The good news from this is that can now exercise self control and not play games until my actual work is done.

Work that will doubtless be interrupted because Mayhem has a short day, today. Allegedly. We'll see.

I'm determined to focus, today.

So of course I'm going on a wiki walk through youtube because that's how I get in the zone.

Honest.

Besides, I have

So it's been a tad of a rollercoaster, lately.

I got my PC running again after months of idleness, so now I can write my blog on that. Yay.

Alas, what I can no longer do is work on the adventure map until I learn/figure out a way to export a Mac saved game to a PC without the whole thing throwing a massive wobbler.

My PC is about eight years old since the last hardware upgrade. Which is about 80 in computer years. I refuse point blank to buy
