It Was a Dark And Stormy Night

[selfless]

-- and the sky was clear and well lit. 

When a stranger walked into my office,

-- it was a person I knew intimately. 

She wanted me to take her somewhere no one ever goes,

-- which surprised me: a remote area transport pilot. 

Suddenly a solar storm destroyed everything,

-- in a region that had been ruined for years. 

All the people who had long abandoned the area,

-- happened to still be there when it all happened, 

---- though none of them survived,

----- except for the sick or previously injured,

------- who I am forced to spend weeks helping,

--------- despite the urgency of the original plot,

----------- which I will never actually encounter,

------------- nor am I even a party to.

Beautiful poem, spoken with determination

Few things compare to your posts, @selfless. It's either profound gaming information or witty criticism clad in dry and rocky humour. I laughed very much about this one here, but at the same time I imagine @Raphael van Lierop must be grinding his teeth every time you post something like the above. But although you're a bit harsh sometimes, you're also spot on and as such, in my view, making valuable contributions. I guess we'll know the game has truly reached perfection should you ever start praising it.
