avocado's talking to
the person trying to
get through a day around
[[you]]
]no no no
[[no|Start]]The knife slides through the avocado's flesh in unseen ecstasy, a perfect machine of division performing its task perfectly. You wonder how you feel about that language. The two halves of the avocado will now separate easily.
You
[[twist the halves in opposite directions]]
[[are finished]]
[[fall asleep]]Your eyes close to allow the knife of your mind complete freedom and you begin to see colors and you [[dream]].Just as your whims align in complementary positions forming the symbol of infinity, the avocado nestled between them, your eyelids droop and the world slips away from you. The avocado disappears. The infinite beckons.
You find yourself suddenly in a [[dream]].That was kind of fast you can [[go again->Start]] or skip to the [[fake end of the game->end of the game]] or [[the real end->nothing]].Cats drooping, universal basic income, salamander tunnels you sink quickly and peacefully into a [[dream]]. At first you do not realize what is happening, which is nothing. Instead, you think
you're [[flying]]
you're the [[knife]]
you're the [[avocado]]
you're [[dead]]
you're a towering warrior on a mission of [[vengeance]]
you're [[naked]] in school
you're in the kitchen making [[guacamole]] with Michel Foucault
you're [[awake]]the most surprising sensation as you feel yourself suspended, surrounded only by air, is comfort
you feel as though you've always been here, above the undersky of grass, aloft
you realize after some time passes that you are not alone
others like you are all around
the air you breathe is clean and the sun pulling you toward it is bright
you all feel drawn very close together
you reach for each other and realize
it is a stem
you are not flying
you are dependant
you are
an [[avocado]]
an [[orange]] blossom
an [[insect]]you remember being formed in fire and in earth
divide
then carried, to a forge in a rolling broken mountain a
split sunder
fire again, not home fire not earth fire but shouting
rend
you mixed with strangers they made you stronger but
cut
joined to plastic, airless, dark, contained again, not earth then sharper sharper sharper
slice
drawn across a crowd of softer earths, scratching impossibly smooth root-tops
hew
you glide, a perfect angel of division
chop dice
pitted by water, uncareful, unsharp, no grinding cleansing spark of mountain rootstone only
dull dull duller duller
they buy [[another knife->dream]]
(this was the real ending you so won the game)
(maybe)shhhhhhhhhh
did you hear that
there it was again
oh
it was nothing
nothing at all
nothing has a sound here
nothing roars forever in silence
that is what you heard: all of the roaring [[nothing]]
death is long
in fact the longest thing is needed to contain the sum of nothing
death is nothing roaring in silence
you can go back to your [[dream]] if you are in a hurry to be something instead of dead
death was no place for them
you didn't hear the others
that happens all the time
but
if you've stayed dead this long
in your own dream
you
might
really
be
you
are all
roaring forever in
roaring
longer
longer
roaring
longer
you
forever
[[nothing]]
forever
you are alive
you live

no of course not
so when you find yourself thinking that
go back to [[sleep|dream]]insects don't have [[stems->flying]](if: not ($oranged))[OK so playing a Twine game by what is, ostensibly, an avocado, you reach a point in the story where you can choose to be only one thing: <big>an avocado</big>, another fruit/flower/astral being, or a bug.

Your choice was not avocado; let's [[dig in]] to that.

congratulations from an avocado
you really did it
this is the real end of the game and not a less desirable false end of the game
probablyAn avocado sits before you, and a knife.
You cut the avocado
[[crosswise]]
[[lengthwise]]
[[with your imagination instead of with the knife]]
.hi[[❤︎💚❤︎->tablesetting]][[␀->Start]]Did you think the avocado would try to trick you by making avocado the choice that it seemed like you *should* make when really the others would turn out to be better?
[[yes|you]] / [[no|trustful]]
Did you think that choosing avocado would be the [[end of the game]]?
[[yes|end of the game]] / [[no|protest]]
Are you here under protest because someone who likes avocados said, 'no go ahead play this you'll like it' and you were
* bored, so you did, and they're [[right|you]] / [[wrong|end of the game]]
* [[generous->you]] with your time because friends are worth more than anything else in the world
* [[not convinced|end of the game]], but you put on a curious face and they're starting to stare at you now because you've been on this screen for a while.
Or was it [[something else->you]]?ok you've got an avocado already let's just check the |recipe>[recipe] Foucault gave you

spoons Michel they're [[spoons and cups]]<blockquote>individualize the excluded, but use procedures of individualization to mark exclusion</blockquote>
you can just say
<blockquote>throw out the peels</blockquote>
Michel [[omg]]<blockquote>the crowd, a compact mass, a locus of multiple exchanges, individualities merging together, a collective effect<blockquote>
yes Michel it's very |tasty>[tasty]

mmm no really, this is great guac]
|congrats>[good job, Foucault]

let's [[wrap it up]]

just [trust]<trust| the plastic wrap Michel

you add lemon or lime juice to [[slow oxidation|dream]]
you include the pit to release its [[magical powers|dream]]
you [[gently press down|dream]] so there are no air bubbles
