So have you heard, young fillies and colts
The tale of blood and rainbows and bolts?
They say that it is a fan-made poem
For one to read in the dark of their home

But he hopes that many will read this someday
And you, the reader, he does presume
Will comment and rate it fairly-thank you!

Will they uncover the secrets even a company as dark as the CWC is ashamed to keep? And what of the workers who help ensure that, in the end, not a single soul gets through...
