Preface
I was
(re-)reading X-Men Origins: Magneto when I thought: how would
I behave if I were a prisoner?
Would I
turn on my fellow inmates? Deal in contraband to make life in that
camp less miserable, ala the titular character in James Clavells’
King Rat? Drive myself mad with escape fantasies? Join a
resistance movement?
So I
started to write an article named “Should I Wait for Darkness?”
and realized it could be expanded. Enough to be a book, which
could turn into a text-based game. This story would have been an
introduction to the game’s universe. I’ve scrapped that project.
La
Barilo literally means “the fence” in Esperanto: a
language I’m learning because of the anti-fascism of the community
that speaks it.
Also:
this book isn’t something you’d want to read if squeamish. I
don’t go into deep detail when describing carnage or conflict, but
survival isn’t always pretty.
Now go
forth and seek some answers.
Kiko Enjani.
