D 0 o m Part 1: The Project

Chapter 1: The Beginning
What have I become. My life has fallen to pieces. My joy has been reduced to rubble. My road has burned.

It's true that my life has lost all its meaning. I have no job. I'm struggling to pay rent at my derelict apartment complex. I am an addict. I take drugs. I drink alcohol.

But I still remember the man I used to be. The successful, smart man, whose coding skills were unmatched. Yes, my life did once have meaning. I once worked at Baszucki & Associates, and I helped to shape the platform that is "Powering Imagination!" or, should I say, powering unimaginable horrors, horrors that the world was, and are still not ready for. This is my story...

Chapter 2: The Offer
It was now 2003 and things were not looking good for me. I had finished my college years at Stanford University back in 1985, along with my friend David Baszucki. I struggled to find a suitable job, whereas David founded a whole company known as "Knowledge Revolution". I decided to meet up with David and a couple of his friends. I had heard he stopped working for Knowledge Revolution in 2002, after it was acquired for $20 million in January 1999 by MCS Software Corporation, to start up an angel investment firm called Baszucki & Associates. I met up with David, a man named Erik Cassel, and another man named Keith Lucas, in Menlo Park, California. I hopped out of a taxi and in front of me was David. "Wow! David! It sure is good to see you after all these years!" I exclaimed. "Great to see you too Jack." said David. "So, you know how I've told you about not being able to find a job application." I said, awkwardly. "Yes. I've heard lots about it." said David. "Well, I was thinking that maybe you could hire me at your new company." I said. "Of course I'll hire you!" David chuckled. "You're my friend, and in my opinion, a perfect addition to my new company!". "Does that mean I'm in?" I asked. "Yes!" David said, happily. That was the enthusiastic kid I knew. "So, my question is, are you in?" David asked, reaching out, wanting to shake hands. I paused, thinking, then reached out, gripped his hand firmly in mine, and made the worst mistake in my life, a mistake that would open up a whole new world of horrors. "I'm in." I said.

Chapter 3: The Project
And so, me, David, and the other two men, got into a taxi and went to a building. We went inside and David led me and the others into a tiny office. "This is where we will begin work on my "project"." said David. "It's quite cramped." said Erik. "I know. But it's the best I could get." said David. "Alright then, let's get to work!". Me and the others got seated at our desks and began coding and programming. "Uh, David?" I said. "Yes?" said David. "What is this project we're working on anyway?" I asked. "Well, I'm glad that you asked. We are working on my game idea. This project is known as eBlocks. It's going to be the name of my upcoming, stealth mode video game company." said David. "And right now my friends, you are coding and programming our first ever game! I was thinking of naming it Goblocks, in memory of the name of the domain I purchased for this project, but now I've decided to name it, DynaBlocks!" said David, triumphantly. "Oh, that's a swell idea David!" I said. "But, how did you get the idea?". "Back before my old company, Knowledge Revolution was acquired by MCS Software Corporation, I made an educational game with Erik, and Keith. It was called Interactive Physics! It allowed students to mess around with physics in a 2D environment!" said David. "When I made that game, it gave me an idea, to create a 3D physics game! And that is how this project was born.". "Wow. What an amazing story!" I said. "Yeah, it was pretty amazing." David chuckled. "Anyways, let's get back to work.".
