Welcome to Markologic Interactive Experiences Please make yourself comfortable Complimentary Reese's peanut butter cups are available upon request Please keep your hair and fingers inside the pod at all times You may select an interactive experience now You have selected, Line Cutter, from the Righteous Anger module Please kindly swallow the lozenge at this time High-five the local teen we have hired to operate the machine And place your goggles firmly on Thank you, for choosing Markologic Interactive Experiences Standing in line at the grocery store Waiting to check out My hands clench the shopping cart But I cannot steer away from my frustration The elderly man in front of me Places each individually-bagged green bean In front of the cashier's dead eyes Two cents, she says Three cents Then, like a bolt of lightning he appears Sliding in front of me, like an oiled leopard I open my mouth to speak But say nothing To the line-cutter Rage, unspeakable rage At this rule-defier Apostate, idolator Worshipping nothing but his own expedience The elderly man is attempting to pay with two hundred Austro-Hungarian Kroener It is backed by gold, he says This line has been abandoned, long since forgotten by the civilization which begot it The other shoppers will not look upon us What has the line-cutter won by his treachery? I think Staring at his pink, ham-like skull What thin slice of time is worth the weathering of one's soul in the bitter winds of such Corrosive sin? Finally, the cashier accepts payment The line moves again The line-cutter oozes to the checkout counter I can see his crooked smile through the back of his head And it disgusts me But the cashier speaks She says "Excuse me, I think that gentleman was in line ahead of you" The line-cutter falls to his knees, and begs for mercy But he shall find none where he is going Which is the back of the line There is no mercy for scoundrels No pity for the honorless thief My flavor-blasted goldfish will be all the more delicious tonight Knowing that his children, and his children's children Will look to him with pleading eyes And ask "why Why are we consigned to this fate Always to wait at the back of this same line Never greeted by our fellow man No, never acknowledged Why must we live in the shadow of God's light Always waiting Always and forever?" And the line-cutter will only look into the middle-distance At the cashier who will never ring up his prosciutto A single tear rolling down his cheek For there is only one path to salvation One path to the light And that is in the embrace of our Lord and Savior J- No - wait - no I actually wasn't finished Welcome back to Markologic Interactive Experiences We apologize It appears that the narrative experience you chose was compromised By Mormon hackers They were just so respectful and courteous when they asked for our passwords In hindsight it was a bit of an own goal Anyway, please see Struepsend at the front desk for a full refund We hope you have enjoyed the time
