He was asked to play
the seventh count of
suicide sudden death game
in the Russian roulette to
save his family dynasty
from being wiped out by
an aristocrat billionaire
in a long age old feud.
No one is allowed to enter
but the strong hearted.
Couldn't you just
see the secret plan
for your demise.
That death sentence
was like getting on a
roller coaster that
had steep drops,
neck breaking curves,
and no restraining bar.
To love your family this
much must be awesome,
worthy of infinite importance.
Willingness to sacrifice
yourself is profound.
With luck on his side,
to survive he must.
This is where deadly surprises
and chance will meet luck.
Determined to live or die,
he defiantly persisted.
This last shot got him out
of the game.
He won and became the man of
unbeatable luck.
His family dynasty secured
and freed from the death feud.
Once again he can walk around
as a freeman.
Yes he survived and
the family survived yet again.
What a great sacrifice.
