<div id="desc" data-tags="Beach">You go to the beach. You don't have a swimsuit, so you decide to look upon the sea and rest. You contemplate how long it's been since you last took a break. Work has kept you busy for a long time. As you watch the sun collide with the ocean horizon, you wonder how many hours of your life you've wasted on mindless busywork. You decide to try to make at least a little time for yourself every day.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "beach" volume 0.5 loop play>>

<div id="desc" data-tags="Campus">You go to the college campus. The university seems prestigious. It's lined with historic buildings that look breathtaking when paired with its numerous evergreen trees. You weren't able to go to college, but you always dreamed of attending a prestigious university. For a moment, you feel bitter about your family's poverty, but you can't change the past, so you focus on taking in the picturesque scenery.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "campus" loop play>>

<div id="desc" data-tags="Diner">You go to the seaside diner. As you eat, you notice several teenage employees doing their homework outside. You remember being young and how hard you've worked since high school. You worked for hours writing articles to support your family. You still work in journalism and haven't achieved the success you would've hoped for, but it does help you afford the basics. You hope those kids aren't overworking themselves the way you did, and that you might find some rest one day as well.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "diner" volume 0.5 loop play>>

<div id="desc" data-tags="District">You go to the shopping district. You visit a quaint coffee shop, a homey mom-and-pop restaurant, and a high-end boutique whose clothes are way too expensive for you.

Work has left little room for any friends, but you'd like to make some in the future.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "district" loop play>>

<div id="desc" data-tags="Library">You go to the library. It hasn't changed one bit. You remember spending hours here, diving into stories. It's where you developed your love for writing. You read books you used to read as a kid and wonder if you should write one yourself someday.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "library" loop play>>

<div id="desc" data-tags="School">You go to your elementary school. It looks different from what you remember. You've gotten really old.

You're saddened that striving never led to anything, but you must move forward.</div> <<masteraudio stop>> <<set setup.freewaySoundPlaying = false>> <<audio "school" loop play>>
