Chapter 3
Gordon Freeman's Flashback
You know how people say when your about to die your life flashes before your eye's, well it's true except I wasn't going to die.
When I was a child both my parents were scientist and they really never had time for me. Our family was filthy rich, but they died in, well this is not usual, but they died because the lab they were working in exploded when I was only 9, now I'm 32. They still do not know the cause. That was 23 years ago and I still have nightmares about the explosion.
My life felt like any other life, hell, except for that mine was worst than hell. I was the biggest "Loser" in school even the "Losers" thought I was a "Loser". I wasn't the brightest kid in class; my parents never had time to help me with my work. The only friend I ever had was my pet gerble, but he died when I was 14. That was the saddest part of my life, since then I really don't see the point in living anymore so I volunteered to do this experiment test.
I had a crappy job; it only paid 10 thousand a year. I really never understood was I was doing at work, I just exactly what they told me to do, I guess that's why my career was a total blow-out.
I never had a friend to rely on, never had anywhere to go, I thought if I volunteer my life would ether end and I would end up with my parents, or I would be rich again and never have to work again. So well there you have it, the suckiest life anyone can ever have.
