Imagine a warehouse filled with everything you can want : gadgets, food, entertainment. You get a chance to go inside and choose anything you wanted. Things ranging from the very-possible to the utmost fantastical exist inside the warehouse. Have you always wanted those new headphones which was guarenteed to maximize comfort (to a reasonable number) while producing the most crisp and clear sound that can possibly be heard? What about the most scrumptious food that you've ever eaten? All this and more exist within this fantastical warehouse.
I have been a frequent visitor inside more than a couple of times. Last time I was inside, the walls around this warehouse formed itself into the interior of a local electronic store. With it, came perfect replicas of disgruntled employees and frantic customers looking for the ungrade to the most efficient anti-virus scanner. Anyways, I walked past all these distractions to look for the one thing that I came here for: a box containing the one thing that I wanted. And it is now in my hands. I gleered over the symbols of the box. This isn't it! Suddenly, I was alone in the store. I looked at the box once again, and tried to decipher the symbols. This isn't it at all! I can't read the script. This isn't even English!
All around me, I can finally see how fake everything is. Inside the warehouse, sets were put up to try to deceive. Actors were hired to make believers of the lie. I turned around a corner and saw that the set was still incomplete. That, and the fact that the rest of the warehouse was now empty. I just left clutching the useless empty box.
