Game Over

I walked downstairs and joined my parents at the dinner table. We start to eat rice, beans, and steak. The food is delicious and I start to get nervous because I am going to tell my parents that I am gay. I finish eating my food and I look at my parents. "Mom and Dad I am gay". My dad gets up from his chair, "James your joking right"? I look at my mom and she has a sad and very disappointed face. "Dad I am serious, I am gay". He looks at me with hate and walks towards me, I get up from my chair and he kicks it and punches me on my chest. The pain in my chest is intense and I start crying. "James get out of my house now and never come back, you are no longer my son". I feel heartbroken, "Dad please don't be like this". " I am not your dad now get out".

"James listen to your dad and get out now". Wow, my parents want me to leave. "If you can't love me for being who I am then you don't deserve me. I leave the house and start running with no sense of direction and purpose. I stop running because I notice a small black book on the ground, next to a dead tree. I pick up the black book and the words on the first page are red, "Go under the bridge nearby to get peace of mind". I turn over the pages to see if there are more words and there are none. I think to myself that this is no ordinary black book and feel a sense of curiosity to go under the bridge nearby. I walk towards the bridge and it suddenly becomes cold.

I look around and I see garbage on the ground and broken dirty dolls. I keep looking and I notice a strange black door, I turn the cold doorknob slowly and nervously. I open the door fully and see a small red table with money on top of it. I start counting the money and the total is ten thousand dollars. I am very lucky to find this small black book that brought me towards this money. My right -hand starts to feel an intense burning sensation and I see the black book burning as I let it fall to the ground. The black book starts burning more intensely and I hear a deep creepy whisper saying if you want more money push someone off the bridge, hearing those words gave me goosebumps. The black book stops burning and slowly starts to vanish, I am shocked.

I have never killed someone and having more money will be good because right now I am homeless. Pushing someone off the bridge will be quick and maybe they will survive. I start walking and looking and I see a man that seems to be in his eighties if I push him, he will die. I think to myself maybe he wants to die because he has been suffering from pain due to old age. I walk towards the man and quickly push him off the bridge. I watch the man fall down from the bridge and hit the ground and see his blood splatter in many different directions coming from his head. I think to myself people die every day and this is just survival of the fittest. A man wearing all black approaches me and hands me a brown bag.

"There are ten thousand dollars in the bag so now you have a total of twenty thousand dollars". "Thank you and who are you"? "When you die you won't be taking money with you". The man vanishes quickly right in front of me and I start having intense chest pains and fall to the ground. I feel like I am going to die, life is short we do what we can to survive. I hear a deep creepy whisper saying that I am going to die in ten seconds and that it was fun playing with me. If life is like a game well it's game over for me.
