Prologue: End of the End
Given time, one can think of many things. In fact, it is possible to write three entire novels in one's head given ample time. I've even been able to reflect on my entire life. Since I had so much free time now. Never before was I able to think so much.
I was such a fool to be kind to the one person who I hated more than anything. He was just so... Arrogant. A real joke. I hated him more than the voices that whispered to me and still whisper to me now. I hated him more than any wound. He was lower than the dirt but I took pity on him. I wondered what happened to him over my new found free time. I recently realized I had the power to find out.
Power... Such a funny word to use in my predicament, isn't it? I have limitless power and yet... no power at the same time. It's quite strange. I miss not having any power at all. At least then I was free.
I can't say I hate that man anymore. I dislike him and all the things he did but I don't hate him much. He didn't seem too bad... Once I really met him face to face. He was almost pathetic. Not the arrogant creature I had considered him to be.
No. What I hate now. No. Loath is a better word. What I loath now is this place... This hell I let myself get trapped in. I loath the time that passes by. I loath the horrible things that have taken residence in my brain. And I absolutely LOATH that awful ragtime music playing over and over and over! I hate it! I have been trapped in hell! All because I wanted to be kind!
I've had plenty of time to think and I've come up with many ideas. I've done some serious mental calculations in a pathetic attempt to ease my pain. I've actually thought of some pretty interesting experiments that I can't wait to try out. One I might actually be able to try soon. I just have to get the... test subjects. I've actually found a few participants that might make it interesting. All that's left is the catalyst. The most important part of any reaction.
And I know just the arrogant person to be that catalyst...
Let's play a game shall we, MAXWELL?
It's called "Don't Starve".
