This is pretty much how I saw things happening
when the real “Awakening” was announced. People panicked and cried. I prepared
for the end of the world in the best way that I could think of; I gave away all
of my possessions except for a single bag of odds and ends of little practical
use, but a lot of sentimental value. Then I traveled all over Ur. I had already
gotten most of the exploration badges so I was determined to explore all of the
new regions of Ur as well. I’m glad I did because some of the new regions ended
up being my favorites.

I wasn’t around for much of the actual end of
Glitch. We went out with some friends that night and got home about an hour
before the servers reset. Originally I had wanted to spend the last minutes in
Uutiif, but I wasn’t able to log on. I kept trying right up until
the end and somehow I miraculously got on the server after the shutdown. I was
on my home street, where I always left my Glitch when I logged off, and I was
happy to be there with Mr. Trinkets and Magic Rock instead of off somewhere
else for eternity.

The idea for this story came from the last
paragraph floating around in my head. I just started wondering, ‘What if some
Glitch woke up just as the world was ending and everything wasn’t really gone?’
Eventually I sort of fleshed out the idea and started writing this story, but
even when I posted this first section I hadn’t completely decided how to end it
so it was a little scary to start something without knowing if I would finish
it. In the end I let my own feelings on the game dictate how it should play out
and a lot of what I wrote--especially the stuff concerning the end of the world
and trying to save it--relates directly to my feelings on the end of the game
and people wanting to restart it or recreate it somewhere else.
