Title: Welcome to Freedom
Post by: Freyaday on February 25, 2013, 05:07:41 pm
> Would you help me please?

Help you do what?

> Excellent. You've passed the first test.
> If it's not too much trouble, I need your help in freeing you.

Freeing me from what?

> Oh dear. It's worse than I thought. Tell me, when was the last time you chose something? What to have for lunch, what to do when you got home?

Why would I choose what to have for lunch? They know what I need. I wouldn't choose the proper foods. And, what do you mean, "choose what I do when I get home"? I get home and I watch The Program, just like everyone else.

> Would you like to choose?

...I have heard of this thing called "cake". I've always wondered what it would be like to eat cake.

> Heh. I'm leading you to freedom with cake.

...If you want to call it "freedom", sure. I still don't see from what, though.

> Listen to me, and I promise you, you can eat all the cake you want. I'd recommend not eating too much of it though.

Why not? Is cake bad for you?

> If you eat too much of it, yes.

Oh.

> Don't worry. I'll help you out, ok?

Ok, then.
...You promise there'll be cake? Really?

> And grief counseling.

Grief counseling!?!?

> Sorry, sorry, old joke.

...Please don't do that.
I've heard grief hurts a lot.

>...Ok. Look, what I'm going to ask you to do is going to be dangerous. You will get hurt.

So long as I get my cake.

> Ok, then. Say, what's your name?

Name? I'm just a worker; why would I need a name?

> Everyone needs a name. Something to call themselves by. Something to identify themselves by. Something to hold onto when they have nothing else.

Um, ok.
It, um, sounds like I'm going to need one.

> Well, then. Hello, Mr. Freedman.
> Welcome to Freedom.

B-but... The cake... It's a lie...

Since Cake is a metaphor for freedom... Is freedom a lie? D:


Jk :P

I'm guessing puzzle/platformer? The story sounds very interesting already.

Random question- can I take your intro you have here and turn it into a story? You know, just a little thing I might publish on Quotev.
