When you're done, you lapse into gray....awakening to the Task in the next 'morning' since all you know now is artificial lighting....

Life as a Cellzombie isn't bleak.
It's just Endless.....

...and you still have to pay the bill....

Worse than a college loan on a PhD.

...been working on funding that.....
