Game Over

Life is a video game I suppose...

Where is the manual?

Will I get a tutorial?

In this game called Life,

it’s ironic how you only get one life.

If you’re lucky to have people with you

who have gotten far in Life,

they can give you wisdom

and maybe some cheat codes that they discovered

when they were

at your level.

But the problem is,

Life punishes you regardless.

You can have it all:

the best weapons,

the strongest armor,

the most powerful spells,

but not even these will protect you

from Life’s most challenging levels.

Why is my view on Life so harsh?

Because there have been times

where I tried to

rage quit,

AFK,

reset,

or unplug forever.

But there was a force that prevented me

from ending my Life.

The Creator designed this game

for me.

The Creator gives

his toughest battles,

levels, and

bosses

to his toughest players.

He graced me

with invincibility frames,

which allowed me to dodge

a boss’ lethal strike.
One day,

He will give me the opportunity

to engage in co-op.

At that moment

I will find my adventure partner,

who will support me,

defend me,

heal me,

and carry me

throughout the

levels of life.

No longer will I feel like

ending my Life run early.

My co-op partner will ensure

my survival.

I hope we last enough to teach our

newbies

how to play

and how to win.

But no matter how expert I become,

no matter how much knowledge I gather,

one day my game will end.
I will complete Life…

If I win is up to me
