Plan A Was the Only Way to Save the World

To think that one day this Charlie would become his running mate, and sometimes Golem thought that Charlie got interested in him in his younger days before the accident. And it was true, Charlie knew of Golem’s existence years before he started working at Windows, doing the killing and other odd chores that Charlie knew Golem could not do… and it was imperative for Window to be a successful corporation. Because it was years ago that Plan B was instituted into the plan… and things were moving along, credit cards were the next institution to go down after the housing market. Society was being slowly disassembled and if Plan B swept up the final mess there would be no people left. At least Golem’s Plan A had a chance of survival… after all a quarter of the world’s population would survive, and maybe Golem’s motivation had to be created in Golem’s mind, and maybe now Golem couldn’t feel a hundred percent terrific about its outcome, but the day would come when Golem would come to understand that Plan A was the only way to save the world and that he was in effect a hero, or would be if when the moment came he chose to leave on the spider that would leap into so many people’s homes. If he could leave the spider on even as he became more and more aware of how many would truly die on New Year’s Eve of 2012. If he could take and then handle the knowledge that he had played a role in such an event that surely dwarfed any responsibility that the pilots over Hiroshima might have felt, knowing they had wiped out an entire city after photographing it from above.
