The Living Experiment: Rock Bottom

A Tale of Torture and Mazes (Part 5)


 Victor has a new guest.  He looks so flattered at first.  Maybe he will actually make a friend this time.


 But no, he quickly loses interest and goes back inside to drink.  His guest is a persistent woman.  She follows him inside and tries to cheer him up.


 Victor isn't having any of this.  He starts in on his usual yelling and fighting.


But he gives her a hug before she leaves.  He probably doesn't want any one else knocking over his trashcans.


Inside, all hell has broken loose.  Crypto complains about how hungry he is.  Again.  But nobody listens.


Anna's stuck in crazy mode.  Every chance she gets, she goes off to play with her flour sack baby.



If there was any dignity left in this house, my no-toilet experiment has put an end to that.  


I've learned Sims will pee anywhere, including at the kitchen table.


Crypto and Crono eat some dinner in squalor.  The dishes aren't cleaned, the floor isn't mopped.


After dinner, they're both too tired to move.  They fall asleep in the kitchen.


Anna doesn't even notice.  Coochie coochie coo!


She's got a baby to take care of!



Flour sack baby is so cute!


Crypto wakes up in the middle of the night.  She thinks she hears rats.


As morning dawns, even Victor is beginning to look worried.


 The kitchen has become the new bathroom .  Crypto adds to the puddle


Then she begins to splash in it.  She's lost all dignity at this point.


I guess a puddle is a puddle...


 After a horrible nights sleep and covered in pee, Crypto rummages through the fridge for some food.  If only someone would notice her situation!


Well, it appears someone has.  A social worker pulls up outside.


Crypto stops what she's doing and stands completely still.  It's as if she knows what's going to happen.


The social worker marches right past Victor's room and finds her way to the kitchen.


She scolds Anna about what a horrible parent she's been.


For the first time, Anna looks truly regretful about what she's done.  About what a horrible parent she's been.


The social worker doesn't say anything to Crono's dad at all.  Instead, she marches into Victors office and scolds him for...I don't know?  Letting this horrible experiment take place?


Crono looks smug as the social worker walks her to the van.


Victor calls out after her.  Am I finally seeing Victor's soft side?  I think he's actually going to miss her.   But Chrono won't be missing this place at all.


 For the first time in this experiment, Anna actually cries.

They took my baby!  The other one, my real baby!    -Anna

Poor kid.  I hope she has a chance now.    -Victor
