Hey, @aejackson.
Very good. I've been amazed at how much can be done in five minutes, which I guess is the whole point of this freewrite exercise.
For a moment, it sounded like jail, but that was just drawing a parallel. I felt the confusion, or disorientation, but singular clarity on the purpose for being there. That in and of itself sounds like the outside world more times than I care to think of. Clear objectives, fuzzy implementation.
Did I just swerve into the hard fork? No. Keeping it on track here. :)
Well written. I very much enjoyed it. Definitely something that could be developed further, I think.
