Season 1: Episode 8
On nights like this, I stare up into the cold, endless sky and wonder if anyone I know is looking up there as well. The car broke down in the Dalles and the man in black is walking ahead, keeping his head on a swivel. We’ve ventured off the freeway and into the woods in a vain attempt to remain unseen.
I feel a small, electrical signal in my fillings that plays the sounds of people talking about the different types of games. It is broader than previous transmissions, and full of many more personal touches and stories. It soothes me greatly, until I hear a twig snap in the distance. We freeze midstep and frantically look around, trying to remember if she floats all the time or not. There is an existential question in my fillings: “Do you want a game that is endless or one that ends?”
At this moment? I'm on the fence.
We slowly move down a ridge into a little valley and make a small camp as dawn approaches. She doesn't seem to move during the day, and we have enough cover…at least, I hope it's enough. As I begin to drift off, my breath condensing and freezing on my nose, one final thought resonates: “Is this game cooperative or semi-cooperative?”
As if he’s thinking the same thing, the man in black lets out a small cough.
