Suddenly, you notice a hamster wheel.
You convince the monster to go in the hamster wheel and you start rolling.
“Where we heading?” Says the monster
“Back to where we came here from!”
You start heading back, you cross continents and oceans, until finally arriving back in the sewers.
“Wait,” says the monster, “my original goal was to keep that song gatekept from you, but you’re a good person, I don’t want to kill you.”
“So can you tell me the song?” you reply
“Of course,” says the monster, “the song is called An-”
Suddenly, the monster spontaneously combusts and fucking dies 🥀
What now?
“i look it up on google translate and then i attempt to say “добър въпрос”"
Pulling out your phone clumsily, you translate the phrase “good question” to Bulgarian and say “добър въпрос”, your bulgarian is horrible and nobody understands you well.
“Махай се от съдебната ми зала” says one of the judges, you pull out google translate again and find out he told you “Get out of my courtroom”. You and the monster leave.
“Now what? We’re in Bulgaria and theres no way I will be able to ungatekeep that song now” You say
“Well, its gatekept for a reason, the whole point is so that you don’t know what the song is” Says the monster, “me and my team have merely been trying to defend the song from being ungatekept”
What do you do now?
You sue the creature in a Bulgarian court of law…
“Pack your bags, we’re going to Bulgaria” You say, the creature looks at you surprised, and you lead it out of the sewers.
After getting on a plane, you arrive in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and enter a court, the judges look at you and the creature puzzled.
“Какво, по дяволите, е това братле?” says one of them, but you don’t speak Bulgarian.
What do you say now?
You go left…
At the end of the tunnel, you encounter another monster, but its small and afraid.
“Please! Spare me! I will give you a hint to ungatekeep this song!”
“Okay, tell me”
“I’ll sing it to you!”
The monster starts to sing the lyrics of the song…
“You came to me in a dream
I was lonely
Could it be?
It’s in the night for me
When you’re near me
Hard to say it now, but I want you so
Are you real?
Or are you fooling me?-”
“What a lovely song what’s it called?” You say
“I’ll ungatekeep it… it’s called An-”
Suddenly, a beam of energy hits the creature, vaporizing it instantly. You look back and see the creature you battled with earlier.
“Fool! That song’s lyrics aren’t even published anywhere online! You’ll find nothing!”
What do you do now?
notice the metaphorical hamster wheel we are on as the protagonists in this story that only serves to give a false hope that you will ever ungatekeep your song that you so desperately cling to
