The Unblinking Eye never cared too much about Hat Plaza. It was too far away, too remote for
him to worry about. Instead, he would busy himself with his career as a Central Web Manager,
where he would sell hats. While he would work, The Unblinking Eye wished for some adventure
in his life. But not too much.
The Unblinking Eye's boss was Gregory, a Future Directives Liaison. Gregory was not a nice
man, but he gets the job done, and that's all that mattered. Nothing else did.
The Unblinking Eye loved his job.
---
Gregory had a passion in life: to build benches. But his passion could not make money.
Gregory needed a real job. So, Gregory created a company: McClure-Hills. Gregory was
excited about his company, before he realized he had a competitor: Hat Plaza, led by CEO
Julian.
How dare did Hat Plaza exist! Hat Plaza's business was cutting into McClure-Hills's
profits, preventing Gregory from gaining enough free time to pursue his hobby.
Hat Plaza had to be eliminated! So Gregory did every dirty trick in the book to smear
Hat Plaza's excellent reputation. Julian was seen as a horrible monster, and Hat Plaza's
business collapsed. All the while, Gregory's profit margins grew.
Gregory refused to adapt his morality to the corrupt and immoral society. All in a
day's work.
Gregory loved his job.
----
One day, Julian arrived to the corporate offices of McClure-Hills. A guard came and asked
for an 'ID' to verify his presence. Julian said that he came from the Hat Plaza, here
for "vengeance". Julian did not want to panic, and then stabbed the guard.
The Unblinking Eye saw Julian from his windows, and predicted this would happen.
Julian saw The Unblinking Eye right back, and reconsidered his own world view.
Julian had a purpose: to kill Gregory. Julian hated how Gregory tried to destroy
Hat Plaza years ago. It was time to pay him back.
Julian broke through the doors of McClure-Hills and ambushed Gregory in the hallways. Julian
refused to make any assumptions or judgement calls and stabbed Gregory. Gregory knew that
the natural social order is tyrannical and must be reformed, and called for help. "If you
cannot give me help", Gregory cried, "then give me justice!"
Gregory then died of blood loss. Julian perceived the extent of the situation.
Happy with his evil deed, Julian left the building, and returned back to Hat Plaza.
---
Without the leadership of Gregory, McClure-Hills's revenues decreased. The Unblinking Eye's
co-workers left McClure-Hills to work at other startups. Only The Unblinking Eye cared about
Gregory's call for justice.
The Unblinking Eye started training for combat, looking for the location of Hat Plaza and
researching the weaknesses of Julian. The Unblinking Eye wondered why most people would not
listen to the truth.
---
After 5 days of planning, The Unblinking Eye was ready! He relied on peer-reviewed case
studies, and then left the deserted halls of McClure-Hills, to travel over to Hat Plaza
and end the life of Julian. But, Julian was prepared.
When The Unblinking Eye arrived at Hat Plaza, Julian was waiting. The Unblinking Eye
deliberated, while Julian quickly browsed Twitter to research the socio-economic trends
that had led to the current crisis. Julian stabbed The Unblinking Eye in the heart, and
The Unblinking Eye collapsed to the floor. But, The Unblinking Eye knew that his own
survival was not important: only the death of Julian.
The Unblinking Eye pulled out his own knife and slashed Julian's legs. Then,
The Unblinking Eye died from blood loss, pleased at last that Gregory's request for
'justice' was fufilled.
Julian stared at his own wounds, and thought he would be capable enough
to handle the task. He then looked up, and saw his son, Larry. Julian said,
"Avenge my death."
When Julian died, Larry examined the positives and negatives of the situation,
and buried Julian in the hallways of Hat Plaza. But Larry had no intention of
avenging Julian. There was nobody to avenge. McClure-Hills was already in its
death throes, and everyone that mattered had already died. Larry knew
that the circle of violence had to end one day. Instead, Larry left Hat Plaza
to pursue his own passion: to study bags.
