One Time, I Outsmarted the Riddler...

An Ode to a Ranting Overthinker

Art done by myself.

Oh shit, how did I get in this van ?

All these green question marks all on the walls?

Oh no I've been captured and it's the Riddler a.k.a Edward Nygma.

My mask was removed and he asked me do you believe we are alike?

I said yes and I'll prove it before the last second on your timer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait, where was I again?

Oh yeah, I was saying something about the number ten.

The number that ends and begins at the same time.

A combination of two singular numbers that start after number 9.

Wait, am I on a cloud now? Well isn't that just great.

I thought I counted the pillow mounds right, but now I'm at cloud number 8.

Am I that far off from Heaven? I should give it rest as God did on day seven.

Wait, how did I manage to find these dice in this garden eating my trail mix?

Are these snakes eyes, no that'd be to coincidental, just a double that equal the number six.

Wait, Omg I've let my imagination wander again and let my random thoughts thrive.

I should take a break and get a snack. OOOH! the last candy bar in the vehicle and it's a Take 5.

I apologize, my anxiety has gotten the better of me, but I'm so close to the opening the car door.

If you let me ramble any further, this conversation will stretch longer than the arms of Reed Richards of the Fantastic 4.

Wait, shoot I let the bag seep to long in the water, strong of caffeine my chamomile tea.

Crazy, I feel like I've been thinking aloud for hours, but it's only been minutes, precisely three.

Wait! I still can't find my goddamn shoe. Ugh do jeans really come in pair of two?

Maybe someday under the sun, I'll stop overthinking so much , but that's no fun, my thought's were never meant to be limited to only one.

Oh! I am still alive, I guess I solved Edward's game, does that make me a hero? Or did he leave already ? He grew tired of my mind before his timer could hit zero.

Okay, can you repeat the question again Edward? I've seemed to has lost my train of thought... I apologize in advance if you have to remind to bring it back to the topic.

Darn it, he already kicked me out of the van, I guess I thwarted his plan , to make me understand.
