Grabs the gun,
Loads it
With one bullet
Spins the cylinder
***** the hammer
Shoot!
He lives.
He tried to end his life
He fails.
The next day he tries again
Grabs the gun
Loads it
With two bullets this time
Spins the cylinder
***** the Hammer
Shoot!
He lives.
He wonders why
Is he really that lucky?
The next day he tries it again
Grabs the gun
Loads it
Three bullets go in this time
Spins the cylinder
***** the hammer
Shoot.
Once again he lives
He sits on the edge of his bed
Wondering why he is still alive
He hates his self
He hates his life
Wishes he wouldn’t exist anymore
But why has he been so lucky?
One last time
He grabs the gun
Loads it
With only one bullet
Spins the cylinder
***** the hammer
And Shoots.
He wasn’t so lucky this time
He goes to heaven
He sits and wonders
Why did it take so long for me to die?
A voice behind him says
“It wasn’t your time.
I had greater plans for you, it was just a setback”
“I tried to save you” they said
“Now come this way and I will show you what your life
Would have been if you had lived”
He follows the voice and sees what his life would have been
He sees a woman and a child
He asks the voice behind him “is that my family?”
The voice responds “Yes, that would have been your child.”
He begins to shed a tear,
He realizes he should have quit
Now he is in heaven regretting his mistake.
This is titles "the game no one wants to play" because a lot of people do not want to keep going with life some just want the easy way out. they miss out on their future. Stay strong it will get better.
