Entry 51. June 17, 2009.
[x] Go back to reading the entries.
"Forsake all others, is that it? Ever thought maybe Melanie and I could use some help sometimes? Though maybe it's best to never involve anyone else again... Surprised your stupid voices have even granted me happiness with Melanie. Yeah, yeah...I'm curious about the entries too."
After their hearty meal, Felix and Melanie head back to Felix's room to finish reading the diary entries Rose sent them. He boots his computer back up and opens the next entry.
Entry 37. November 26, 2003.
FINALLY. The fruits of our labors have sprouted! Words can not express the joy I am feeling. It's truly a euphoric state! The vast possibilities spread out before us like wildfire! I look forward to tomorrow now more than I have ever in my life!
"Hmm...it seems whatever they were working on showed its first results on this date," Felix thinks, as he finishes reading. "Based on the first entry and what Patrick told us, your father used his diary to keep the important information about their project, right? These are just pointless...thought dumps," Melanie says. "Maybe that's in later entries. Let's keep reading," he responds, as he opens the next entry.
Entry 38. November 28, 2003.
If only I could live in our lab! Every day brings rapid results! We figured, assuming our current rate continues, we will see a working prototype in a couple months. The thought blows my mind!
"Blah blah blah... Your dad was on drugs or something. This is retarded. Why would anyone bother stealing this?" Melanie whines. Felix opens the next entry, eager to find out more.
Entry 39. December 17, 2003.
It has been a while since my last entry. Our project has consumed my entire life. Pulling myself away for even a moment feels like an eternity wasted! Our progress... Dear God our progress! Anthony's mood was different today. Curious, almost. I fear he is beginning to have regrets. I can't let anything stand in the way!
"Okay...now he's sounding a little mad..." Melanie comments. "I'm starting to think you're right. Despite all his talk of progress and results, I see nothing about the project itself. If it was there originally, then that means Mom left it out. Why?" Felix wonders as he opens the next entry.
Entry 40. February 11, 2004.
USELESS. USELESS. USELESS! IT'S ALL USELESS! The past months have been a roller coaster of unbelievable joy, stress and anger. Anthony came back around and doubled his efforts. The Devil sneers as he holds my soul. My life is so utterly worthless now. Our first testing was a complete failure. We don't know what is wrong. My hellish wager will most definitely pay off, though; I know it. I must remain vigilant if my ascension is to become more than a dream.
"Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
"Weeeeeiiiird... What's with the scripture? And it doesn't sound like your dad was too happy anymore," she says. "I don't understand this at all. What is the significance of ANY of this? Ugh... What the hell. I didn't need to know my dad was even crazier than I found out recently!" Felix thinks, frustrated. The last entry on the flash drive glares at Melanie and Felix, beckoning them to open it. "Might as well be done with this nonsense..."
Entry 67. August 18, 2004.
Rose is too smart for her own damn good. I fear she is beginning to suspect me. It was a mistake to use her as the subject for the second testing. I am truly a fool to have underestimated her. I must be much more careful from now on. Damn her... Damn this stupid project! If only we could succeed... All of our problems would fade away...
Lend me your hand! Make good on your end of the trade you fiend! You can't drag me into the abyss until my dreams are realized!
Melanie just stares at the screen, not sure what to say. "Oh for crying out loud! If anything, this just makes me MORE pissed off! How is this supposed to help? How is this supposed to make me trust her?!" Felix shouts, pounding on his desk. Melanie gets up and starts pacing to try and make some sense of it. "Besides the obviously large amount of entries missing, Mom must have left other parts out. This is nothing more than the mindless ranting of an insane man! There is no information about this mysterious project! Only more questions!!" he rants. Both of them stop in the blink of an eye as the ringing of the phone slices through the room.
Felix bolts downstairs and almost rips the phone off the wall. "Hello?!" he answers in a desperate tone. Melanie gets down the stairs just in time to see Felix's face take on a completely new appearance.
"My son! I'm so proud! You exceeded my expectations. Oscar informed me you picked up my gift so quickly! Have you already enjoyed it? I hope you've enjoyed it. Hehe."
[] ANSWERS! DEMAND THEM!
[] Listen to what Rose has to say.
[] Hang up.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
