Best Writer/Writing Award Speech:
A person opened the door of the asylum's solitary. Jean had been there for nearly a month after the patients fled, with him being the only one left behind. He was wearing the straitjacket and was sitting on his bed.
- How did you manage to survive for so long?
The person wanted to know.
Jean - That's the wrong question. The right question is "Who the hell are you, what are you doing here, and why do you look so much like me?"
The person replied:
"I'm a time traveler."
Jean - So you're me from the future?
"No, of course not!" replied Jean's doppelganger.
Jean - So your first answer doesn't make sense!
The man continued, "There are several parallel universes, and I in one of them in the distant future is a serial killer that kills people in a residential building."
Jean - Why don't people just leave the building? And what does that have to do with you looking the way I look?
The double tried to justify himself:
"It's because of an issue of a newspaper. There were several columnists writing under the direction of an editor. But unfortunately there was a big wave of black ink that took them all, and they delayed the release of the latest issues."
Jean: I think I'm starting to understand.
The doppelganger made an expression of relief.
He said: Oh, good. I was afraid you'd end up getting confused. So you know I'm going to need to leave you here for a little while longer. A couple is in high school and they are separated by a long distance... Soon they will realize that they will have to summon the Beast, and they will sacrifice you for it, and if they don't, you will either be stabbed or incinerated or both. .. That's why I received the mission to come and talk to you to ask that in two years...
Suddenly a hand pushed Jean's doppelganger into the asylum. The doppelganger heard the door being locked. Suddenly the walls of the room became transparent and became a large sealed aquarium. A blue and black world revealed itself. Everything around it looked like a large laboratory of experimental physics, with several computers and huge power cables connected to a cage of an animal that looked like a multidimensional sea serpent, from which a black fluid oozed, which was being collected in an underground tank.
And in that room there were some people wearing white coats and goggles.
sweet, sweet marrow and
wow. you're cheap. were far apart, while
R. and @semblance were very close.
The look-alike looked at Jean and said:
- You knew all this didn't you? You've been fooling me this whole time with your pointless questions!! You were just stalling for time, but you were with them all the time!
Jean said, "I don't know what you're talking about, and I have no idea what's going on! But maybe that explains why the food always smelled like paint."
emerlydastarnje arrived in the room followed by two conscious holograms. "He doesn't know of my existence, does he?" he asked.
Apparently, the look-alike, from inside the transparent aquarium into which the solitary had become, smiled:
- You're his friend... It can only be him.
One of the holograms said to the Doppelganger:
"You already know what you have to do in order to get out: give the information to Jean immediately and he will announce the best writer winner."
Jean - Wouldn't that be the award for best writing? There is a difference and...
The double interrupted Jean.
- No, don't try to argue. This has happened before and it must remain so so that one day you will fulfill your mission...
And then the lookalike handed Jean the paper. And then Jean grabbed it with his mouth, seeing as his hands were tied.
"What do you want me to do with it?"
- You need to eat this. The information will be transported to your brain.
And then Jean obeyed. More than quickly, he already knew the result. And he began to speak:
"
R. won 1 vote.
wow. you're cheap. didn't get votes.
Dark Asylum won zero votes..."
When Jean said that Dark Asylum won zero votes, the walls of the aquarium broke. The ground began to shake and one of the holograms was hit by the wreckage, and began to drip drops of black light onto the ground. The snake-shaped creature in the cage began to scream a screeching sound, the black ink in the tank began to boil, and a glowing circle began to form in front of the beast's face.
The lookalike looked at Jean and said, "You must hurry. And you must speak louder than the beast's screams."
Then Jean began to speak in a very loud voice:
"Semblance, I'm really sorry, I was rooting for you, and I even thought about voting for you, but unfortunately you got zero votes!" -
R. , suspending a piece of transparent wreckage from above, said, "Who wrote this?"
Jean continued: "
emerlydastarnje won 2 votes!"
And First Edition of the 667er received three votes!
And then, they all looked at Jean. The beast fell silent, and the holograms faded. The doppelganger began to slowly disappear from the spectators. But before disappearing completely he said:
"Let me at least hear the winner, before the end..."
And then Jean said in a loud and clear voice:
sweet, sweet marrow is the winner: he won 8 votes.
Suddenly, from the glowing circle that was being formed in front of the beast, an object of only two dimensions began to form. Something rectangular. Soon everyone understood: that was a banner.
