S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Confession of a Stalker

Money is what every stalker wants to get in exchange for finding an artifact, to buy himself freedom, power, and all that sort of thing—a bluff. A fake. A dud. You can’t spend them or take them outside the Zone; they aren’t needed by you, because they sow death among those who have ever seen them. They’re cursed—just as originally cursed is the one who decided to tie his fate to stalking. This is not a field of miracles—it’s a prison. Everything here goes in circles; it has its own perpetual cycle. From nowhere there can be no exit. And the whole point is to sell the loot, drink away the money you got, and go looking again, searching again, searching again… Until you die somewhere of wounds or perish in an anomaly.
