life or legacy?

Since the baby came along, Carol has been pushing you to get life insurance. So finally, after work, you decide to stop by that insurance company Tom had been reccomending. You read a sign that says, "Legacy Inc. WE KEEP YOU ALIVE." [[Go in.]] [[GO HOME]]

You decide to give it a shot. After all, it doesn't hurt to ask around and find out more. You head up to the receptionist. She says,"Hello sir, how can I be of assistance?" [["Hello, I'd like to find out more about the insurance polices you offer."]] [[I'd just like some information about the LIFE insurance you guys offer."]]

"Well, in this pamphlet, you can read all about it. We have two main insurance programs, LIFE and LEGACY insurance." [[Read the pamphlet.]]

You start reading the pamphlet and it says the following: HELLO READER. WELCOME TO LEGACY INC. WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU. I'M SURE YOU'RE HERE FOR SOME LIFE INSURANCE AND THAT'S GREAT! WE WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY... BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WE OFFER. [[KEEP READING]] [[PUT PAMPHLET DOWN AND GO HOME]]

LEGACY INSURANCE IS ALL ABOUT CONSERVING YOU. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. YOUR IDENTITY. WHETHER IT'S YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, YOUR JOB, OR YOUR FAMILY, YOU CAN INSURE THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF LONG AFTER YOU ARE GONE. [[ASK MORE ABOUT IT]] [[PUT PAMPHLET DOWN AND GO HOME]]

You go home to Carol and tell her about the whole ordeal and how you felt like they were just trying to sell you something. The following week, you both make the trip to Mr. Shulman's office and you find a good, simple plan. The years go by, memories are made, your kid grows up, then you get sick, and before you know it... [[You're dead.]] (Click to start again.) Thankfully, your life insurance helped the kid pay his rent a couple months. THE END

"Well, of course sir. We offer afforable coverage that meets your budget with plans starting as little as $8 a month, and we make it simple to get the protection you need. There is no medical exam necessary in most cases for customers aged 18-50 for coverage up to $150,000." [[You pick this life insurance.]] [[Learn more about the LEGACY one.]]

You go home to Carol and she's extremely happy that you finally went. The years go by, memories are made, your kid grows up, then you get sick, and before you know it... [[You're dead.]] (Click to start again.) Thankfully, your LIFE insurance helped the kid out with his student loans. THE END

"Well, the pamphlet says it all." She hands you the pamphlet. It reads: LEGACY INSURANCE IS ALL ABOUT CONSERVING YOU. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. YOUR IDENTITY. WHETHER IT'S YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, YOUR JOB, OR YOUR FAMILY, YOU CAN INSURE THAT IT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF LONG AFTER YOU ARE GONE. [[ASK MORE ABOUT IT]] [[PUT PAMPHLET DOWN AND GO HOME]]

"Well, the LEGACY insurance is a way of preserving who you are." "Why does it mention social media? I don't see why my FaceBook account must continue posting pictures after I'm gone." "Sir, it's not about that. The LEGACY insurance is a way of "selling" yourself." [["Selling myself?"]]

"I'm sorry. I can't say anymore. You must go, please." [[INSIST]] [[GO HOME]]

"Please, what is this about?" "Oh, very well then. You asked for this, but you must sign this first. Keep in mind that THEY will have your information now." She hands you a confidentiality agreement. [[Sign.]] [[GO HOME]]

You decide that she's being a bit paranoid and sign the agreement. She proceeds to tell you about LEGACY. She explains that life has now turned into a monetary value. The aspects of life that people strive for - having a wife and kids, a prestigious career, satisfying marriage, reputation, popularity online, wealth, a hearty bank account, and many others - now drive people to basically "sell" themselves. It's an identity theft frenzy. When LEGACY insurance owners die, their identities go on the market and people can buy them. The money then goes to they families or whoever they have appointed as LEGACY-holder. She then asks,"Would you like me to keep going? I think you can still leave without them prodding too much." [[GO HOME]] [[Continue]]

She goes on to say that, with the growth of social media, people have turned to multiple identity thefts. Constantly, people die. And LEGACY is often behind it. A once prestigious and innovative company focused on creating a legacy from the digital remains of the deceased has now been corrupted. Filled with black-market identity hijackings and planned murders. She then pleads for you to leave. [[GO HOME]]
