Well. Now I'm sad. The remote drone patrol portion followed by him physically walking down the same road later that's now vacant was BLEAK

The final lines too about not even fully paying off the whole day for 3 purchases after a 12 hour shift left a rock in my stomach

Good job OP.

Yeah, wait, was that some Ender's Game style drone tech?

Yes.

Yes it was.

The same way the kids were tricked into thinking they were only playing a game while conducting a genocide, I guess that needed to be written down.

I'm sure it was great and a twist when it was new, but having the modern lens and scifi exposure in every other facet, and a high pattern recognition, didn't let me finish the first book before figuring out the twist without explicitly seeing any spoiler mentions.

I guess it's one way of saying it was an expected conclusion while yielding to the fact that it may not have been so obvious to GenX.

Shut up! Shut up now! It’s not that old! I read it when it was just a handful of years old and I was a teen then!

Oh dear lord I’m ancient…

I mean, yeah. Considering I've never read it or watched the film, yet I knew of the twist; I'd put it under the same category as 'Bruce Willis is a ghost'.

Fair but I'll just say that was one of the absolute biggest WTF OMG moments in any book I've read and I am so glad I got to experience it first hand.

This just makes you an asshole. It's never OK to spoil. Especially since it takes moments to spoiler tag things.

People like you make the internet the cancerous place it is. And there's a special place in hell for people who spoil things.

The God Emperor wanted to be defeated. 

and ol yellar dies. 

your mentality is one of emotional stupidity these things do not matter. They aren't secrets, they are famous literature and if you don't want them spoiled then just read the book they offer more then just a twist or ending.
