An excerpt from The Atoll, an interactive movie and the mechanism for opening the text.

Gloria  Why can't I entertain a happy end?
Hector You stretch the truth, you tell white lies on cue,
              Omitted facts, abstained votes, court appeals,
              Are cornerstones of your drawn out career.
Gloria   Then I plead guilty, charge diplomacy.
Albin    Caramba, caramba, caramba, si.
Miguel  There, she stomps off with her new amigo.
Hector  Miguel, what hurt me most was your cruel laugh
               As you stood outside those container doors,
               As your hired thugs clicked that big padlock shut.   (shut blocked closed)
Miguel  You heard that? Arent container walls thick  steel?
              No cruel laugh, more a nervous, dry guffaw -
              No, no, it's true I laughed a sadist's laugh.

A punter is randomly chosen from three 'tribes', their voice is merged on their phone with that of the character. On completion of chore the punter is paid a wage(r) of, just an example, $200.
This system is like the opened back of a beautiful old mechanical 12 jewel swiss watch...except, the moving parts are dice.  I like the idea of squaring the circle.
