"I Was Placed in an Experiment, and Now I CAN'T GET OUT" | ClancyPasta PRESENTS

I should probably start from where I was before rectifying how the hell I got here in the first place, though I actually don't know myself.

I live in Lewisburg, West Virginia, or I used to live, I should say.

I worked at a gas station as a restocker near the bridge.

And honestly, life wasn't too bad.

I didn't get paid a lot.

But I resided in a motel near the same gas station.

I wasn't rich.

But honestly, I wasn't struggling either.

I didn't head to college right after high school, after all.

I simply worked for my diploma and moved on.

I was planning on saving cash for a new computer, but things kept coming up, and I never found the time to save more cash towards that goal.

Eventually, I was scrolling online out of boredom a couple of minutes before I was going to head to bed, and I ran into this website from some company full of scientists named Psyche Stress Logistics.

It gave me a chance to earn up to $500 with a simple quiz and some testing afterwards.

I didn't know how it would interfere with my scheduling, knowing how recently busy I am, knowing they put a lot of discounts out and restocking was required a hell of a lot more, but I went with it anyways.

It was offering more than I made in two weeks.

I wasn't entirely sure how long it would take to end the quiz, but it didn't matter that much if it was done at home, right? It asked the basic questions any survey giving out cash would ask, including how much I earned, my academic levels, etc., I honestly thought at first it was a scam.

I was waiting for the part where it asked me very specific details, like where I lived or my account information.

But it was very casual all the way through.

I'd say the most it asked for me was my first name, and it didn't even need my last.

It felt like all they wanted was to just understand me as a subject, rather than learn every bit of information about me.

After I completed the quiz it asked me, I sent a message to one of the scientists to understand how the experiment was going to go, and asked the time I had to start.

I wasn't sure how fast they would respond, so I ensured they knew I would be responsible as soon as I could, and left to finish the day off at work.

At around 10.30pm, I was able to clock out and go home.

I would usually leave at 9pm, but there was plenty of restocking needed, and I also had to help organize some stuff.

It was tiring, but I at least got paid overtime.
