1000. Back to Zero.


Zero. I opened my eyes, switched on the game, and wiped my tears for the last time.

Zero. You found a skill and molded into an art. Your path to your dreams.

1. I put lead upon paper and brought the world to me.1. You looked back from a height that i couldn't reach.

2. I roamed lost in a rebellious haze to find what was missing.

2. You smiled and laughed at my actions.

2. You wondered what was so appealing about me.

10. I looked back to earth to see what i missed.10. You reached new heights and became known across our "world".

10. You got under my skin and became an irreplacable comrade.

10. You looked up to me as a guide and placed your trust in me.

100. I aim to become a memorable person.

100. You admire my confidence.

100. You're a fool who strays too close to an ambitious inferno.

100. You roam lost yet are certain of your own doom.

1000. I will reach my goals. I don't care who I hurt to reach them.

1000. You will look at who I become and smile at your new equal.

1000. You will remember me forever.

1000. You will be wiser and stronger than you could ever dream.

1. I will not look back with regret.

1. I will not fall before you and lose favor.

1. I will not allow you to question my ambition.

1. I will not let you become dependant on me.

Return to Zero. I will grow wiser and never forget who i was.

Return to Zero. I will not forget the things you taught me.

Return to Zero. I will not forget you or leave you behind.

Return to Zero. I will not let you give in to fear.

Erase Zero. In the event of my demise, I am forgotten.

Erase Zero. In the event of my demise, I am a disappointment.

Erase Zero. In the event of my demise, I am hated and unforgiven.

Erase Zero. In the event of my demise, I am a long winded, untrustworthy fool.

The only way to eliminate me is to erase zero.
