The game

Here's to you kid.


Happy Birthday.You've managed to stay alive, all this time , despite our best efforts.You've played the game pretty damn well, all these years.


What's that? You didn't know you were playing?


You've been playing since the day you were born.Every accident you've narrowly avoided your entire life so far, from crib gates left open, to those near misses with cars when crossing the street, even lighting storms and patches of ice.


Every injury waiting to happen, every sudden fatality, was our doing.Many have lost by the time they get to your age; consider yourself lucky!Luck being your skill at playing the game


What's that? How do you win?


Oh, see, you don't, I'm afraid.We get everyone, in the end.It's all a matter of time....and luck


So like I said.....


Happy Birthday
