A Day in Hell

This story revolves around Matt, a man living under the yoke of his female roommate. I'd suggest killing anyone that annoys you, but do what you have to. You will only be able to leave comments if you reach one of the endings. I had to do this, as many people with IQs less than 90 were giving this story 1's. Thanks! v 1.0 Published story, 2003. v 2.0 Updated some things, fixed a broken link, added a bit of content, probably created discrepancies. Enjoy.

Mommy, Can I Go Out and Kill Tonight?

v. 1.2 - Entire new story line added, with secret items to be found throughout story. The items portend a sequel which is only obliquely related to this one, and without these items one cannot logically progress. - Fixed major bug allowing readers to exploit statistics. Thanks those who PM'd me after reading that I'd prefer that than posting on the main forums. - Fixed multiple typos/variable issues/grammatical errors. - Minor updates to items and setting to reflect current societal technology. - Fixed multiple instances where traits could be used when user did not have them or stats were not high enough. - Incorporated new spacing bugs into story, unfortunately. Probably updated Firefox and new HTML, uncertain. Don't have time to go through and delete every new <br> and <p> so ignore any new spacing issues although drives me insane if it makes you feel better. - With any update comes new bugs. If you find some, please PM me. Background: You were a good boy. But then you turned bad. Drug addict, cop-killer, manipulator; These are all names you could be called. But Leon helped you hide the evidence, and you were never caught for your crimes. You, who were once so far gone yourself, now help others. You take care of them when no one else will. And yet that creature who first strayed from the path of righteousness has not disappeared. It is still part of you, a dark psychosis threatening to get out. You sometimes hear its voice at night, whispering while you try to fall asleep. An eternal battle between the dark and the light rages within your mind. To which side will you listen during this most crucial of days? Features: This is an advanced game where you create a character, choosing four of seven unique traits and distributing 100 points between your three stats however you see fit. These stats and traits make for a different experience every time you adventure through the story. Stats have a direct effect on how useful each trait is in various situations, so choose a wise combination! The back-end is extremely complex, with nearly one hundred variables and over thirty unique scripts which track and update your progress, viewable on your character sheet. This sheet lists and keeps track of accomplishments you have made throughout the story, as well as updating your health, score, and any information you might find. The story also boasts twenty-three items, most useable in more ways than one, and over twenty-five distinct endings, each crowning the player with a unique title, although only three allow completion of the story. Every item's graphic has been put through Photoshop, and photos have been placed strategically throughout the 400 pages and 600 links to augment the setting, realism, and mood. Readers will rarely be prompted to use an item; rather, they will have to reason and analyze to determine the appropriate point at which to do so. Finally, if a particular reader gains special accomplishments, they will be in bold on the character sheet, and that reader will gain extra points! Try to get 1000! Good luck, and enjoy! CAVEAT: This story contains graphic violence, sexual images, adult situations, and drug use. If you are too young to handle this sort of thing, please do not read the story. *Thank you for the feedback about bugs/errors/grammatical mistakes/typos. I have fixed the majority of them. Please PM me if you find any further bugs, rather than mentioning them in comments or on the forum.

Another argument which depends on age. The people who were born in the late 90's or early 2000's have no conception of the pleasures enjoyed in the past. The smell of a book, the ability to flip the pages, yellowing from the acid as they age, these are all foreign concepts. They literally have no conception of these things and so do not see the value in them. This fact is nothing against them, but there is no point in attempting to point out the benefits of a physical book versus some shit on an iPad. The fun thing is that even this type of sense may seem like the jabbering of my grandfather, to me, when I was 14 and he told me all sorts of what I considered nonsense about the state of the world, although he was right. Change is difficult to accept, but when one is not even born before the change happens, one doesn't notice there is a serious problem. Digital shit cannot compare to real literature in any possible sense. The meaning behind the words is of the utmost importance, but the presentation and ability to feel physically connected is what makes it last. Very young people cannot even grasp that social media, like Facebook, is nothing more than a privacy invasion, because they grew up with cell phones and said media in their hands at all times. Dissertations could easily be written on the subject, and I'm sure they have.

Somehow, this post is second in replies only to a post about Moustaches, which everyone insists upon spelling in American English. 1

Moved to Parlor Room.

Aging is great fun! (clawes reach out, scratching)

Well, my frontal assault was complete 50's William Burroughs' style action, so the populace was just a side stream blur.

Well...not exactly. The brain is way too complex. Probably the whole brain is "you." We have no idea, really. But the frontal cortex does seem to have "executive functioning," which allows us to do things like pay bills, make decisions on what seems reasonable, etc. Interestingly, it is not even fully developed until like 25 years old, which is why teenagers tend to do really uninhibited, stupid things. Alcohol affects it, lessening inhibition, etc.

^ Yep.

I did. These guys busted into the classroom wearing long black trenchcoats and were wielding shotguns which shot water. This was before all the teens lost their minds and started shooting people rather than egging the bullies' houses. Oh, and Jeff T-----, who was wacked out on meth probably, although they claimed ADHD, threw a desk at the teacher and got expelled.

You should see what happens at 30. That decade flies past. Unfortunately, the 50 year olds tell me the 40's fly by even more quickly. For my 40th I plan to skydive into Cuba.

I feel much better. I finished 1998 too, with a BFA creative writing and a minor in secondary education with a dropped philosophy minor. Then I attacked NYC and lost.
