[WP] Write a story that forces me to read it a second time it to understand it.

Really should have picked a better time to do this, should have figured it out by now. Each one has it's own meaning. As it were I didn't take notice of the similarities. "Do we need to go down this road again?" I thought to myself. Today might be different. With every passing moment I may figure it out. I don't really consider myself an expert but I'm the only one left who can figure it out. Consider for a moment everything you know about our planet is wrong. Every person would disown me for revealing the truth.

Easily the most important discovery in human history is right in front of me and i can't figure it out. Alphabets are standard on this tablet yet it makes no sense to come out like this. Does this mean i'm a failure? Today may be the last day of my research if I don't come up with an answer for my investors. While I have been unable to decipher this, they have been looking for new projects to invest in fearing that my work has proved fruitless. Isn't that proof of loyalty if i've ever seen it eh? Crazy as it sounds, I sort of hoped this would go nowhere because the truth would be terrifying. Exotic aliens planning our destruction, what a crock right?

As always we find ourselves at a precipice with nowhere to go. Down below the surface of the earth our supposed destruction waits sleeping waiting to be activated but when? That is what this tablet is suppose to answer. Whether this fear was true and the date of this apocalypse is supposed to happen. I don't know how to tell them I have failed and we are no closer to an answer. Cryptic puzzles were never my strong suit. Every time I ask for help they tell me "that is what we pay YOU for".

Delivery of my last shipment of equipment is due any moment today. Today will be my last chance to find what I need. What I really need is more time! If i don't find the answer with this new technology I ordered, that's it for this project. Careless as it was to use the rest of my invest money it was worth the risk. Each time I stare at this tablet I come up with the same nonsense and it is driving me crazy!

Tomorrow my results from the test will come back and I will find out if what I fear is really the truth. With everything going on I feel like I am about to crack. I have two fears both pulling my head apart in each direction. Can I be wrong and I lose my job and all of my research or am I right and we are doomed to die a horrible death? Everyone will know the truth soon enough.

Weather has been bad here all day, like an omen. Inquiries keep coming through email wanting to know the state of my progress. Caution must be taken so as to not give them too much information but enough to get them off my back and give me a little more time. Exacerbating the situation with too much information would do me no good.

Indigo streaks of lightning strike with more frequency each hour. Clouds as dark as night cover the sky. Every moment we seem to get closer to the truth coming to fruition.

Cats and dogs would be an understatement for how bad it is raining and i begin to think that my research may come too late. Even now though I cannot get these two words out of my head as it MUST mean something!

Each word is burned into my brain that i will never forget, "Read Twice" but what does it all mean!
