[A dark corridor, a pale ray of light shine from under a door]
Voice 1 (shaky and hesitating) : I am not sure if it's a good thing to join
Voice 2 (somewhat ironic): You can't help anyway !
V1 : That's true but ...
V2 : GO IN !
V1 : I already have so much of them
V2 (tantalisingly) : You still might need some more !
V1 : i'd better go away
V2 : GO IN !

Hello, i am Kame Sennin from France and here is my story :
From what i remember it all started when i was 6 or 7 years old, when my beloved grandma took me with her to the city and made me choose my birthday gift at the general store.
She was there, on the counter, a shiny red little flashlight. So beautyfull with her painted metal body and small glass window ! So full of promises ! I was already exploring the cellar side by side with her, secretly reading books in her light under my blanket or fighting the curtain's monster during the cold nights. She was made for me and i was born for her !
Grandma followed my gaze, understood it all and offered me the light.
Follow several years of happiness only tarnished by the need to beg my parent's for batteries. I learned electricity by dismantling her and finding what part did what (i am now an engineer designing electronic stuff), i watched an eclipse through her candle-flame darkened window, together with my pocket knife (next best birthday gift and futur co-addiction) we defeated the curtain's monster, we even almost got me and two friend drawned in the local sewers (don't tell my parents !), and so many other happy things !
Mmm ... i think i'd better shut up now
Thank you for listening and maybe one day i'll be able to tell you how, about 50 years laters, i eventually ended on BFL but for now i have to go and see all those group buy
