You know, I sometimes wonder... What's the point?
Open the box...
What's the point of me, what's the point of you, what's the point of... life.
Lay down the cards...
What's the point of this? You know what?
Set up the pawns.
There is no point.
Unwrap the dice from its leather prison...
We're all just here.... We're born, we play the game, we die. Play the game....
Take a chance...
Yes, we play the game. That is our purpose.
Reap rewards... pay consequences.
Some have it easy.... Some don't have the lucky breaks.
One space forward...
Play the game. Yes. We win, we lose...
Three squares back...
... we lose...
The spinning pointer spins....
Lost... I've lost...
Draw a card.
No. I haven't lost... not yet anyway.
What does it say?
But, it does look that way for me...
Don't you understand?
No! No, I can't understand....
Move your pawn...
But the game goes on.
Roll the die...
Time and tide wait for no man.
How lucky do you feel?
The game goes on...
Chips are dealt...
Life is chance...
Cautious or Courageous? Which will you be?
And I haven't missed mine.
Ante up... before it's over.
But it doesn't really matter if I do or not...
Fold the board...
Because the same thing awaits us at the end...
Stack the cards...
We all pass on to the Great Unknown...
Collect the die...
Any way we live.
The pawns go back in the box...
Yes... it's just a game...
Gather your winnings... pay your losses...
And we all end up back in the darkness of the box.
Game Over.
A/N: *shrugs* This is my first attempt at surrealistic writing... and I suppose that it's all right for the first time. It's kind of Nyx-ish, (though not half as good -_-;). If I get too many flames for this... Well... I don't think I'll take it down... so well... nevermind. Who is it? I have no idea. You figure it out. ^_^;;

Disclaimer: Well.... since I didn't really mention any characters, I suppose that this story is totally mine... but Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling... so I don't get sued...^_^;;
