Grabbing frogs...

Chapter 1: The Zombie Process

The code was dead: to begin with. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate...

The CEO was a happy and generous frog, who understood Christmas well, or so he thought.

objectobjectobjectobjectobject

Here's your Christmas bonus! You're really important to our team!

objectobjectobjectobject

Everyone gets tomorrow off, with pay! I want you all to have time to do your Christmas shopping!

objectobjectobjectobjectobjectobjectobjectobjectobject

Profits are way up this year! Christmas spending is higher across all demographics!

On Christmas Eve, after all the presents were wrapped and the tree lit, he thought he would work on an old project that he had been neglecting.

Braiiiiiiiiiiins!

Ahhhhhhhh!

objectobjectobject

You can't give output! You're just some dead code!

objectobjectobject

I've become a zombie process, to deliver you a warning, old friend.

objectobjectobject

You've bought the lie that Christmas is about buying gifts! You must change your ways before it's too late!

objectobjectobject

That's ridiculous! Everyone knows buying gifts is the best way to show our love for each other at Christmas!

objectobjectobject

Your logic is as flawed now as it was when you wrote me!

objectobject

Tonight you will be visited by 3 goats, who will show you the true meaning of Christmas!

objectobjectobject

Goats? Did you say goats?

To be continued...

There are 5 parts to this story, running right up until Christmas day. I know they're a bit longer and maybe not as funny as the normal ones but I've always wanted to tell this story. If you prefer, you could read last year's Christmas poem instead!

Or you could just read more about my game development.
