Alright, so, okay, you're walking down an alley, dark, empty. Coming home from work maybe, it's late. Walking, walking. 'Wait, what was that?' flashes across your face. You slow your pace, turn a little. 'Uh, nothing'. Okay keep going, 'Huh.... wha.....?' woosh, crash. And dead.
Or maybe you've gone for a swim. Out on a lake secluded by trees. It's peaceful, it's quiet, there's something under the surface. And dead.
The house is quiet, you're home alone. You hear a noise in the basement. Always the basement. But hell, you've got a torch, what's the worst that could happen? And dead.
Just a normal day at the office. But suddenly you see something,
something you swear was never there before. Confused, you investigate
further, just out of curiosity. You remember what curiosity did, right?
And dead.
You're laughing, you're joking, you wave your friends goodbye, pledge to see them tomorrow. And dead.
'I'll be right back.' And dead.
Who are you even? And dead.
Enjoy your five minute stardom. That's right, you guessed it. And dead.
But wait, you've survived the prelude. Maybe I was wrong about you. Every thing's going wrong, but it's okay. Alive. Here comes the cavalry. And now there you are in your temporary spotlight. It's not quite 40 days and 40 nights. And it's not quite the Devils temptation, but boy it feels close. After all, you're alive. Indulge. You're a stand in superhero, albeit an exaggerated one. But now your time is up. Wave goodbye to the cavalry and step down from your pedestal, pass it on to the next survivor.
It's alright though. You can always die later.
