A Day at Life Inc. (Aborted)

A Day at Life Inc. is a story I conceived of last year while writing Departing a Day at Gridline Games. A semi-fictional take on office life at Gridline Games (and beyond!). The second chapter was a very personal endeavor. One which at times felt almost as if it were jumping off the page! It turned out being a very emotionally moving writing experience. Needless to say, the narrator of that story was someone very near to me. It was an immense joy to spend time with them again, even if it had only been a work of fiction. The final set of paragraphs literally left me in tears. They flowed down, up and every other which way.

Now, we set sail for a new adventure. One which tells the origin not only of Gridline Games, but of everything that came before! And when I say before, I really mean before. We may even learn where the light came from. Maybe. Please remain seated at all times, and remember, it is just a ride!


Hey there. Welcome to Life Inc. Will you be traveling alone or in a group?

Departing a Day at Gridline Games

Preface: In the beginning, there was darkness. Darkness which filled the void later to be known as the universe. A marvelous formation appeared in the center of that void. It came to be known as light, and it was the source of all things. It was a beautiful light; one which would eventually spread throughout the entire cosmos. Many solid masses began to form out of this light. They came to be known as planets and stars. But the most marvelous thing of all had yet to happen. Life! The light gave way to living organisms of all shapes, sizes and colors. What a marvel it was! Soon, a species capable of great intellect appeared. They came to be known as humans. They were initially confused by the light. They would come to give it many different names. Throughout the eons, many human wars would be fought over the light. Some humans would even try to extinguish the light. They would all fail; for the light is in all things, and all things are the light. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. Wait, that last part there is from The Lion King! There remains a selective few that know the truth about how the light originally came to be, but they have learned to keep this truth to themselves; for they know that the beings of the universe are not yet ready...

Out of the light came stories, and among them was a prequel to A Final Day at Gridline Games. One which will reveal all that needs to be known about Gridline Games, and possibly much more! You may weep openly, and that is okay. The tears too are made of the light!
