Not Working?

Shall we begin?
We should start walking, because we have no time to waste.

You see the stairs? Let’s go down.
Watch your step, all your steps. Watch where you go, and where you don’t go. Watch your head, your whole body. Watch your ears. Watch your eyes.
I say this because things are not so stable in here. You definitely don’t want to get these things in your mouth, for example, not like I did.

You see, in the beginning, the only thing I could do was just stare, astonished, with my mouth open, my chin trembling, a frown on my face. The material is actually joking with me – that was something hard to accept. So be mindful of your mouth. Because things oscillate, undulate; they are stuck, they don’t go down, they don’t come up; they don’t work as they should – As the manual said, I mean.

I've done everything. There were many times I thought about giving up. The only reason I stood was because once someone gave me a tape, and they said it would fix it. All of it. Can you believe it? And it was a scotch tape. The most insensitive type of tape. I said thank you and accepted it, of course. When you are in a situation such as this, there’s only so much you can do, I’ve come to realize. I’ve learned so much in here, they should give me a certificate. Proficient in drawing, planning, prototyping something, and then dealing with it when it flops.

Well, the minute I got the tape, something happened, something unplanned, of course, and I had to run. While running, I fell and hurt myself pretty badly, twisted my ankle, landed on a sharp rock, and had to get five stitches in my head. In this process, the tape was gone. Maybe rolled out of there. But knowing how things work around here, this tape doesn’t roll. Most likely, it doesn’t stand still either. My guess is that it walks and is listening to all of this, too.
So if you find it in the meantime, please let me know.

Will the tape fix it, will it make it work?

Let’s hope so, I invested money in this place.
