The Escape Room

a reply to: blend

Great short story. Very well thought out, written, and edited. And it kept me reading to see where it was going. You are very talented. I can see this being turned into a video game. There was a time in the past when video games were more like this, wonderful puzzles you had to put together to keep going. These days a lot of them seem to be mindless, and if there are puzzles they are mindless too.

A couple of good video games, one old, and one recent that this reminds me of are:

The Dig

The Stanley Parable

This is just me personally. I believe time is our perception of energy in motion.

I hear regular exercise of ones' brain can help stave off dementia, so I'm already getting something pretty cool out of it!

That's literal exercise! I know what you mean when you say exercise the mind, and puzzles, languages and such have a factor. But physical exercise is much more important than many think in preventing dementia:



Don't forget to take your 30-45 minute walk every day. Best thing you can do for your mind and body physically.

The word Time appears in the story 29 times. 28 are visible, one is hidden...can you find it?

I'm stumped. Re/re/re/reading again.

Would you like me to tell you or give you a clue?

I haven't played video games in ages but, the ones I remember did make you solve puzzles. They were fun!

For me writing like this stretches the imagination and opens up possibilities that I might not see normally. Imagination creates visionaries...Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge.. I believe he was right.

Thanks for the comments and thoughts!

I'm sure I could benifit from a clue, but I don't want to spoil it for others. Re-reading for the twentyeleventh time.....

Not possible for me, but I definitely 'walk' my brain constantly!

Is the hidden time the one on the picture of the clock in your first post

Hi Blend. This was a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious post, I loved everything about it and I'm so sorry I missed it completely. I have been away on sad and urgent family affairs. I just returned today and read through the whole thread. Nugget did so well in answering when some of your conundrums had me stumped.

Even though I couldn't participate, your clue as to the the final 'Time' was useful and I think I found it...

If The world is an Illusion that the Mind creates, where do you go when the illusion has Ended?
