Last Words, an interactive story

Everything is black, I feel like I can never get out of this abyss. I feel like I'm swimming without end, and I'm so tired.

I would like to stop, close my eyes, take a deep breath... But I know that if I stop, the sea will swallow me, as it did that evening.

I don't want to feel like this anymore. But I'm tired of swimming, I'm tired of swimming without ever understanding where I'm going!

Is there anything I can do to help, Luly?

Yes :

listen to me.

Understand me.

Believe me.

I beg you.

I--- I'm sorry.

You're right, I find it hard to believe you because I don't really understand how you feel.

And that's allright Frankie, you can't understand everything.

But you can't do anything to save me, I have to save myself. I only ask you not to make things worse.

Don't make me kick you out: I want you in my life, but I don't want a life of hell.

Okay. I promise.

Thank you.

I love you Frankie, I love you to death.

Thanks for being there Luly.

I love you too.

It feels like a thousand years since our first coffee, it all happened so fast...

Hug her

Can I put them on this side of the bookcase?

Sure, but...

There's so many of them!

Haha yes, I took them all out of my dad's old house.

I was thinking of taking only the most interesting books out of the boxes: more or less I will need half the wall.

Wait, I'll give you a hand!

Hey you, stop there!

We have to decide which archiving method to adopt.

In order by author, by historical period, by country of origin, by genre, by year of publication?

But who the hell would ever divide them by year of publication?.

None, I think, but it would be an original method!

Well, I'll tell you what: you hand them to me and I'll put them on the shelves.

If you don't like it I'll throw them at your head, how about that?

It seems to me a somewhat too authoritarian approach.

Phew, let's just fill you with kisses until you fall to the ground, then I'll take care of it myself!

Still authoritative, but very attractive.

Let's do this: every book a kiss.

Ummm...

Ok, I'm in!

Very good

The first book is...

"Bar Sport"

Kiss her hand

I finished the interview

Now?

But it was never-ending!

Yes, I was plucked

I am exhausted 🤕

How did it go?

It actually went well

Obviously just my impression

We will let you know after we have evaluated the other candidates.

😓

Come ooooooon 🎉 🎉 🎉

Meanwhile, fingers crossed

Yeah, better than nothing...

But I don't know how interesting it is as a job.

I should mainly deal with statistics and data visualisation

Well, that's what you did with our website too, isn't it?

Isn't that cool?

But there I designed everything from scratch, not just the graphs!

For this company I would have to use super duper old software

Not much graphics design...

So, you know...

Mmmm geez... 😓

Do you want to talk about it when you get home?

I don't really have many alternatives

We will see how it will end 🤷

Tomorrow I'm going to the other interview, maybe it's cooler there.

You're going to kick ass! 🥳

I did some work in the office this morning.

I lasted a couple of hours 😅

New record...

Seems pretty good to me

I think I'll go back to bed...

I'm leaving right now

There will be a bit of a queue on the ring road, I'll be there in an hour or so.

Later

Wake me up when you arrive

Turn on the car

Hey dad, how are you doing here?

Having a good time, huh? Always the same.

I hope you'll forgive me if I wasn't there until the very end.

If only I could go back...

I would stay with you.

I wish I could say goodbye before you left.

I miss you so much.

I hope Luly gets better soon.

Merry Christmas, dad.
