It was an unpleasant sleep. Very unpleasant. Maybe it's because you drank one too many energy drinks late in the night. Maybe it's because you stayed up way past proper sleeping time playing video games. Maybe it's because you stayed up for so long, that your body had to force itself to shutdown just for you to finally switch to sleep mode! Regardless of the reason, the sleep was uncomfortable and you had a nightmare about evil killer robots that wanted to take over the world and experiment on your vulnerable organic shell!
Although to be fair, you kinda recall hearing a really nice jazzy tune for the robotic overlords' anthem. Seriously, it was a very uplifting, tune sung by a very lovely voice that could really lift one's spirits despite even the worst kind of inhumane experimentation. ...Hm… how did it go again?
“NOBLE HALTMANN, WE ADORE HIM. NOBLE HALTMANN, WE ADORE HIM!” YEAH, that's it! “EVERYDAY… WE WISH…. HIM GLORY!” Yep, truly a catchy melody. Yep, this Haltmann fellow sure has some fine taste!
WAIT. ARE YOU STILL HEARING THE SONG?!
Migraine ignored, you wake up with a sudden jolt of shock and astonishment. You felt wide awake and up with the chickens, yet you still heard the alluring melody from your dream!
Not only that, you werent in your bedroom anymore. You find yourself trapped like a rat inside a huge stuffy glass container. You barely had enough air to breathe fine thanks to the tiny air holes from the lid up above!
As if being trapped inside a jar wasnt terrifying enough, the source of the melody came from the voice of the colossal red-haired figure not far from where you were. As she sings, you observe her more carefully. White astro helmet, white blazer top over a black dress, and um… hovering yellow gloves that seemed to act in sync with her body despite having no arms attached!
“S-S-S-SUSIE?!!” you blurted out louder than you had planned what with being so dumbstruck that you were staring at an enormous antagonist from one of your Kirby games! You covered your mouth, realizing way too late you screamed with shock a little too loud.
"WE IMPLORE YOU, DEAR HALTMANN! WE IMPLORE YOU, DEAR HALTMANN!" thankfully, she was too immersed in her song to notice your outburst. The gigantic alien/android(?) twirled about with her huge shiny blue eyes of her faceless face staring up to the heavens as she sang with all her heart and soul, "BLESS... OUR WORK... AND BE AT EASE!"
She certainly did have a wonderful singing voice, even if it's strictly meant for propaganda purpose. It surprising you werent wondering where the rest of the orchesta is coming from. What you SHOULD be wondering is how you ended up here the size of a bug and trapped in a giant mason jar. She must already be aware of your presence, since SOMEBODY put you in there.
Well you certainly had no interest in staying and seeing what fate the colossal robotic secretary has in store for you! You needed out and fast. You check your pockets in hope that you brought along SOMETHING to break the glass. Sadly you didnt have anything on you. Your only hope at the moment would be to kick the glass until it cracks!
So you delivered heavy kicks to the glass, hoping for at least a teensy crack to work with! A couple of tries, no luck. You kick some more. And kick some more!
“C'mon! C'mon!” you mutter to yourself, kicking and kicking over and over. Not even the teensiest sign of a crack. But you dont give up. Instead, you increase the tempo and strength, kicking as hard as you can! You kick and you kick until finally...
