Slowly

It was a get rich slowly scheme and they were proving it by grinding it out day by day.  Perseverance doesn't come without a cost, but none of them could have imagined that the cost would only become apparent after their success.  After they should be enjoying the fruits of their labor.  When they should have been heralded as visionaries creating a daring new segment in the crowded field of technology.  But nothing really turns out like we plan it to, and even what does, we often wish that it didn't.
