David Willingston was the Head of Customer Relations at Plethora corp, a company that designed massive video games that made millions of dollars. Basically, it meant he approved all of the in-game achievements and kept the customers happy.


    David Willingston was also severely depressed. His childhood dreams of becoming a world-famous accordion player were never realized. The love of his life, Lucina, left him over three years ago.

    David Willingston was 38 years old, lived in a small apartment whose rent he could barely afford, and hadn’t been invited to a party in years. Which meant, when he received a notification that said someone had beat Star Dominion on the hardest settings in only four hours, he thought ‘Someone just hacked a big game. Good for them.’, and went back to the cheap beer he’d smuggled into his shared office.


    He didn’t even get his own office. He had to share it with Brett, of all people.
