Description
Gob just killed a man. She didn't mean to do it. She was trying to kill herself. But the truck fishtailed the wrong way and the old man came out of nowhere and well... now he's in the wheel well. Gob doesn't know it yet, but the old man she ran over was an important scientist on the verge of completing his most important invention -- a machine capable of fracturing the planet into pieces. The mangled corpse wrapped around her front tire had been a high ranking member of an ancient doomsday cult. In his barn, she'll find the steel apparatus which will, one day, end all life on Earth. It was the first time she'd ever killed another player. She'd played the "Game of Life" six times before. Each time she'd played as a man and each time she'd died in a gruesome manner. She didn't particularly enjoy playing the Game of Life. If Gob's best and oldest friend hadn't signed up to play a seventh time, Gob would still be relaxing in the peaceful, if uneventful, Waiting Room -- a sports bar like structure where the dead spectate the living. As Gob used a shovel to pry the elderly cultist from her truck's undercarriage, she began to laugh. She'd expected to feel guilt and remorse, but there was something hilarious about a hyper-violent, disfiguring death. Sure, it was inconvenient to have your game end so abruptly -- Gob knew this from experience. But sudden deaths made the Game more compelling. And the old man could always play again, if he wanted. There were no limits on how many times you could start over as an infant. This Awareness relieved Gob's conscience and she giggled often as she used the pointy part of the shovel to pick bits of brain and skull from the tire tread. For the first time ever, Gob was enjoying the Game of Life. The accidental murder of a complete stranger put Gob on a new, more criminal path where she might indirectly save the planet through a series of increasingly mischievous, ultimately terroristic acts of extreme violence. Can a misanthrope with a death-wish stop a powerful, secret cabal from annihilating the world and everyone on it? Probably not. But the fighting is the fun part. And death isn't the end.
