THE END. OR THE BEGINNING?

Time has run out. I failed my mission.
Through the years SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS has tried to win the indifference of the people.
It’s the same battle that I’ve tried here.
Some of you have been my allies.
The first thing to do in 2007, like on 2059, is to change people. You have permitted Bright.ly to win.
Without your support, Bright.ly could do nothing.
I will not give up text. I cannot. Especially after this trip. I cannot pretend to be indifferent.
If I will fail, I will watch the decline of text, until its last breathe.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

P.S: Anne, I can’t forsake them. I can still save them. Maybe I can organize resistance in advance from here. I know what will happen. I will open their eyes. If I’m a hero like you say, I will sacrifice my life for humanity. I know you will understand. I am staying here.

EIGHTH TALK.

Today I saw the inner part of a classroom through a window.
I never saw a blackboard.
I didn’t learn to write and read at school.
I learned when I was sixteen, when I met a girl named Anne.
Anne showed me another world, an underground world, that desperately attempted to keep text alive.
She told me how everything went so fast, and how everybody left text behind for video communication.
The rebellious against this new world have created SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS, and have made their struggle to save text their top priority.
But common people have oppressed them like a sect.
Brightly created their own fanatic defenders.
That’s why I’m here. That’s why I came back in 2007.
To find someone to withstand them with me right now.
Like Jane, who has understood our problem.
Brightly is strong.
They are ready to spread their obscure strength in the world.
But we can resist, we can do it.
‘Cause some of you already opened their eyes. Today this pic came in, to answer Jane’s video. I’m leaving for Rome. I feel that everything started there, in the capital city.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

P.S. Anne, this could be a sign. It ought to be. After having lived only a few days of my life with text and I can’t live with out it anymore. I feel like I would die inside without it.

THE END IS NEAR.

I can't believe we're closed to the end of our trip.
I sad our, because some of you guys have helped me.
But not enough. And we're going to miss our goal.
Another time. My Future Window.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

MORE. FROM YOU.

We have few days left to catch Brightly.
And here, there are other proof of the incoming end.
I'm sorry, but no more words. Take a look down here.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

WE'RE SCREWED. IN 4 DAY.

I leave here other photos for you, but people, in Italy and around the world, wont listen.
You are not listen. Or maybe you want Brightly begin his terrifying opera.
For you. You should trust me.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

SEVENTH TALK

I don’t want to believe we're close to the end.
Another time.
We cannot let them do it.
Take care of what you have.
Don’t let them carry away your books, newspapers and your magazines, don’t let audio and videos be your only source of news.
You will start talking to your computers without keyboars.
Products at the supermarket will talk to you to promote themselves.
Everything will talk.
Everything will move around you.
Everything will be so confused that you will learn to live with a headache. Forever.
We cannot let them do it. Please trust me.
Look around you, watch out.
If something around you has already changed, get in contact with me. Listen to me. Everything you can provide can be very precious.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS

P.S. I’m giving up my hope, Anne. I thought that I could do something good. But a man alone cannot stop them. Maybe even an army can. Maybe I’m not your hero.

OH MY GOD, IT WAS ALL PLANNED...

This is really unbelievable, they've plan everything since the beginning...
We suppose that, but here, in the past, I'm finding new and unknown trace of appearence of brightly on earth.
I don't know what to think. What to say.
They are Humans? Or this is a work of an another life form?
Here, I'm going to change my mind.
OH MY GOD! Look At this!

(video from Jane Mackie).

ARE YOU... INSANE?

This video was sent to me Yesterday. A J.Rudolph, somebody or other.
I've asked someone. And everybody knows the soccer player in the video.
But look, very carefully. Is not a fake. It's Real!
SAVE THE TEXT. SAVE THE WORDS.

SIXTH TALK

The logo initially appeared in the north, but maybe they don’t have just one headquarter.
I don’t know how many they are.
Brightly is going to take its first steps. Please keep your eyes open. Is around You.

I had a dream last night.
A huge crowd of letters of every color and character screaming to me:
“Help... Help us!”
I must save Text.
This is my mission, and I need you. To help me.
My efforts will be worthless without you.
Please, trust me.
I’ve shown you what happened to text in the future. That will be your future.
Now, we must team together to stop Brightly.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

P.S. Hi Anne. Almost nobody believes me. If no one trusts me, they will not open their eyes. But I will not let this happen again. I remember your last words. So I feel strong. Again.

MY SECOND WARNING

I've opened my future window, and my future glass for you, around Italy, especially in Florence.
To show you what is going to happen.
Text will disappear. And we have to do something.
Because the process will start very soon, precisely on September 27th 2007.
Everything will begin with internet, where texts page will be switched with a media considered better for communication.
Please, send me evidence of Brightly. Is around You.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

WHAT THE HELL...

Right. There's so many day I keep saying you this is not a joke.
Someone as answered with this video...
Who the hell is this Kanye West?
I've see the video... You gotta be kiddeng me...
Is really one of the man behind Brightly?
Keep searching, my friends, it's a hard purpose, but we can reach our goal.
Find Brightly. And stop it. Please.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

FIFTH TALK

I didn’t find anything.
Anything that could justify the reflection appeared on Giulia’s piercing.
We looked to all the drawings of his studio very carefully.
So, what does it mean?
What the hell does it mean?
Are they so powerful?
In a few days Bright.ly will make itself known and will communicate through the same ways now you use on the net.
That’s the language of Brightly.
Text will disappear by this way.
I will not give it up, because I will not let Brightly win.
I'm going to rescue text. I' going to find them.
And I’ve discovered a new trail to follow.
This picture, sent to me anonymously.



Thank you. Your aid could be very cute.
Help me, don’t stop looking around you. Brightly is among you.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS

P.S. Hi Anne. Now I’ve your name tattooed on my shoulder. Can you believe it? Miss you.

FOURTH TALK

This message came to me yesterday:

Hi, my name is Giulia. I can't figure out if what happened to me is a joke or not. I was looking to a photograph of mine body piercing. And there is a strange reflection on it. Then, I discovered your blog and I recognize the same image on it! I swear! The photo I took was not manipulated since my boyfriend snapped it three days ago! Giulia.

Every day I am finding new trails, new hints, but no one has really found Brightly.
Giulia, thanks, because right this way we could save the Text.

You can't imagine what an e-mail means to me.
I am touched by the Words, by the letters and the paper surrounding them, and now surrounding me.
In my future I'm only surrounded by thousand of screens of every possible size.
Can you imagine living in a place where even beggars use cheap, small video screens to ask for alms?
You're Lucky. You live in a world where true communication takes place through writing.
You can't lose this wonderful gift!
I will not permit it.

SAVE THE TEXT. SAVE THE WORDS.

P.S. Anne, any beer seems good to me as long as the bottle has a label. The brand name and ingredients are written! In this internet cafè, the keyboards has the entire alphabet on it! It's like a dream.
I guess I am follow the right direction.

PROOF. TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND

Only a simple video.
So you can figure out what is going to be.
A terrifying tomorrow. Please. Listen to me.
SAVE THE TEXT. SAVE THE WORDS.

WHAT DO HAVE TO DO - THREE

This is the material came to me yesterday and today.
We're in danger.
Keep sending me your stuff. Because we have to find them.
SAVE THE TEXT, SAVE THE WORDS.

THIRD TALK

This is my message. Again. Some people talk to me.
But you don't have to ask me.
You have to find evidence of Brightly.
I don't know where is. But is among us.
Open your eyes. Find Brightly. Send me proof.
We can stop it. Together.
Monday I will be in Florence. 'Cause I have a mark. A plan.



Everything is quite here.
It's nice. And relaxing.
Future is like a Tower of Babel.

Everything, I mean everything is audio and video.
Everything wants to talk to you.
Here, I can still chat with strangers on the street.

However, shadow of Brightly is around us. Around you.

They can satisfy expectations people never knew they had.
Brightly found solutions to problems people started to ask themselves.

So the people fall very quickly.
This is Brightly strength.

They didn't make written word illegal.
They did worse than that.
They made it old. Ancient. And useless.

Brightly created a new way to communicate.
A new era that killed text.

Images are direct, more immediate and efficient.
Brightly knows you are ready to switch text in fascinating images.

In 2059 there is no more time for pleasure.
Reading and writing requires attention and concentration.

PLEASE HELP ME!
SAVE THE TEXT, SAVE THE WORDS .

p.s. Hi Anna! I hope everything is well. Today I felt so lonely. I really missed you. So I went to the supermarket, I would feel as if you were nearby. I was surrounded by the boxes you collect.
I will not let myself be discouraged!

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO - TWO

This is the way. I'm very proud of you.
Some proof of brightly, some support came to me. By you.
Let's do it. We have to stop Brightly.
In the right column, there's a mail address. Send me your proof.
So we can win. Togheter.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS.

SECOND TALK

There is still no help from you, and yet, I really need it.

To save you, to save us.

How can I convince you about the kind of future waiting for us?

In my time no one can read or write.

No one teaches anyone how to do it anymore.

No one wants to learn either.

Everyone is united by a great visual language.

I am one of the few dissidents.

Brightly commenced communication only through images and sound, and just like an epidemic, it spread very quickly.

Everywhere.

Everyone followed the Brightly example as if they were fanatic zombies.

First and foremost, the written word was removed from the schools at all levels.

The great reformation generated a devastating return of illiteracy.

Now no one in their right mind wants to learn how to read and write.

They see no purpose in doing so.

Because they rendered communication through images in such a fascinating way.

Perhaps it seems impossible to you that the written word can disappear, but it is just what they accomplished...

Can you imagine your life without text?

In my time text was lost, and with it, also cultures and traditions.

The rainbow of differences that rendered humanity culturally rich and unique was gone forever.

Your world is changing and Brightly is infesting it already.

You can save the world and I am here to help you.

Please, take a look around you.

Contact me, if you notice anything strange happening.

SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS

p.s. Hi ya there Anna! Today I saw a man sleeping under a blanket of newspapers. It made me think of how good I feel here, where I can touch the written word. I am completely surrounded by it. Just think of it! I have never felt safer. We cannot lose all this. I will do everything in my power so that you may live like this too.

SAD.

Alone. Trying to save the Text.
This is the song of our group. Our pain.



p.s.: I miss you Anne.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO - ONE

It seems to me so unbelievable. But real.
In 2059 me and my crew were sure that Brightly began precisely in Italy.
We didn't had even one proof of the early phenomenon in other countries.
But this "response to my post" video just says the opposite. In Australia.
Do right. Please. Do just this girl did.
Thanks Francesca. Thank you for found trials of Brightly in the world.
This is the only one way you can help me. And help yourself.
Keep in touch with me, I have a plan.
Save the text. Save the Words.

FIRST PIC. TO THE END OF THE TEXT.

Dear Friends,
In April the 8th in 2020 some major world newspaper and magazines have share the first page to launch the last scream against a probable terrifying tomorrow.
The Brightly egemony was about to start...

Think about it.
Save the text, Save the words.

FIRST TALK

My name is H725 and I come from 2059.
I'm part of a group called SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS and I have embarked on this voyage for a specific purpose.
I am not pulling your leg or trying to make fun of you.
I know it is difficult to believe me, but I am here to save the world.
My mission is to save text from being destroyed.

I come from the future to stop a catastrophe, I come from the future to stop them.
I've only have 21 days at my disposal.
I only have 21 days to stop them and save us.
Afterwards it will no longer be possible to halt the decline of humanity.

I come from a time in the future in which every type of communication is audio and
video; I come from a time in which text, and all written words, no longer exist.
They started it all.
Bright.ly will start it in 21 days.

I am here to stop them and I need your help.
In the time I live, they are everywhere.
They have no roots and it is difficult to understand where it all began.
The only thing we know is that it started here in Italy on September 27th at 15.32 hrs.
My mission is to discover exactly where I can find them, and then to eliminate them.

Bright.ly must be eliminated and any possibility that what they are creating here and now
can actually take place. They must be stopped. Now!
I beg of you, my forefathers.
Help me.

In my video I open my window about your future.
My only luggage on this trip is what you can see through my eyes.
It is a vision of the future.
Do not be fooled by the fascinating images that you see moving.
Everything in the future has become superficial, immediate and ephemeral and it all
because of them.
I am running after a symbol.
A precise logo.
I need you.

Bright.ly has started to manipulate the world you are living in today.
Whatever changes you should feel or see, contact me and let me know.
I need all your attention and all the assistance you can give me.
Only us togheter. Your help can stop this tragedy.

If any text surrounding you should be transformed into an image, then Bright.ly is close
by.
If any text you see starts with their logo, then Bright.ly is near you!

I will check my blog every day.
I will go on-line again tomorrow.
SAVE THE TEXT SAVE THE WORDS

p.s. Hi Anna, I am ok. I hope you receive this message. If this website survives through
time (I prepaid for 60 years, but one never knows….) maybe you will read my words.
You would like it here. No one thinks you are crazy, because you read and write.
Everyone does it here. By the way, I found that book you were looking for.
