A Story About Gabriel And a Man

Gabriel asks a Man: “Dear Man, would you like to forget all your problems, everyday routine, bills; and be cheerful and happy again?“

A Man replies: “Yes, of course, what do I have to do?“

Gabriel continues: “Nothing special, all you have to do is take the Solutionide and give me in return a part of you, you won’t feel anything!“

A man willingly answers: “It sounds simple, how do I start?“

Gabriel is greedy: “Just take what I give you and you will feel the effect immediately. I will take what belongs to me, unfeelingly!“

A Man uses the Solutionide, forgets about his true self, he starts to enjoy, having fun. Meanwhile Gabriel unfeelingly buries his tentacles in a Man. Slowly, day after day, the Man wants more and more, as he enjoys and it doesn’t hurt. Gabriel continues to bury his tentacles in the Man: now in a stomach, then in a brain, until Gabriel was totally entwined in him and drinks every drop of him and nothing is left. Only a shelve left of the Man, a zombi, an apathetic doll, that has nothing more to give.

There is a hidden compromise in a “Solutionide”: for a moment of happiness, joy we give a part of ourselves

Little by little we give piece by piece, until nothing is left.
