Into the Black Mountain
You have been tasked by your supervisor to design an interactive gamebook for a presentation at work tomorrow morning, which will be showcased on their screen during lunch supervision. However, since time is limited and you don't want them too excited about it yet because of the deadline in 3 hours from now (11am), write this as if I am giving instructions to my younger sister who just woke up for school or at 5:30pm after a long day's work...just keep it casual. It was mostly an experiment, so you don't have too many words explaining about your background knowledge and what kind of person/experimenter that would be working on this project with me during lunch supervision hours (since I am not able to do my duties for the next 2-3 hrs).
