Geometry and the Structure of the Individual</h2>
<p>Tetris is a game where a single player is encouraged to organise the
chaos given to them from above, a limited space for play of ten by
twenty units leads to a limited ability to approach the perfection
implied by the simple shapes that are encountered in the world (always a
collection of four squares, in their seven permutations). The harnesses
of time and gravity make perfection impossible in this world; instead,
the player can only attempt, approach, and increase their efficiency. A
lifes function approaching the limit, there is no way to win, only to
get higher and higher scores, to live as long as possible through
increased throughput. Death is inevitable in Tetris, and each passing
block seems to come faster than the last. Why does it feel like
everything just keeps getting harder?</p>
<p>There are many squares to be organised in Tetris, an infinite number
apparently, but only one player is organising them. Other people can
only be seen by this individual in faint ghosts; their high scores are
there only to be beaten. And the current player can only hope to reach
those people by leaving their own mark on the high score table.
Employee-of-the-month, worlds-best-mom. But maybe there is an
alternative, a world where there is more to each falling tetromino than
simply an obstacle to be overcome, a problem to be solved. Maybe there
is a story behind the fatal pixels, a bigger space than the ten by
twenty grid on the screen. Maybe there are humans out there with more to
them than what they produce.</p>
<p>This fanfic takes the form of a series of hand-drawn illustrations
depicting fantastical Tetris pieces, each of which is accompanied with a
fragment of a story. The cards can be read and arranged in any order,
intentionally removing the linear and framed limits of the original
Tetris, although the illustration and text on any one card have some
sort of relationship with each other.</p>
