[WP] You just died | Tom blinked and rubbed his eyes. He took in his surroundings--or lack thereof. He was standing in nothingness. One could say that it appeared to be just lots of white light, but there is no color in nothingness.

I knew I should've picked the keys up out of my hover car.

[WP] You just died | You stare idly down at your chest. The world pulsates, colors too bright and edges blurred. It was the weird thin knife that you never knew what to do with. It had resided in the wooden block for its entire lifetime, wedged in a thin slit.
Now it is wedged in you.

The sands had went on endlessly in the inescapable desolation. I wouldn't have even noticed the structure if I hadn't fallen on my face.

Nobody's lived here for a *long* time. The desert was here before we were, and it'll be here for a long time after we're dead and gone. The sand has reclaimed this place.

Anony froze at the crest of the dune and collapsed onto her knees. Her calves ached, and her feet screamed, tiny grains of sand digging sores into her skin, pinned between her socks and the sides of her boots.

She had woken up first, the open window had let in a strange noise that startled her into consciousness. It had been a high pitched, and on reflection, pleasant sound. She tried to mimic it.

[WP] An inspiring speech about Teamwork, by someone evil. | Ulrich stood at the end of the conference table, his lean frame wrapped in a pitch leather trench coat.

[WP] Becoming a Synth | A plethora of shacks and lean-tos clustered on the walls like honeycombs, circulating the square in tight cloisters of poverty.
