Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, you see, in the beginning, there was nothing. No, I am not an atheist, but truly, there was nothing until God created it. What God, I am unsure of, seeing as he differs from religion to religion. Anyway, the world was created and man saw the wonders of this truly magnificent place. However, there was a dark side of the world. A side that God had not filled with light. Man knew not what dwelled in this dark region of the Earth, they only knew that it reeked of evil.

Eventually, as man grew, his knowledge increased. Of course, there were women, too, blah blah blah, I'm not a sexist, egotistical maniac, shut up and quit complaining. Continuing, man began travelling, growing ever closer to the dark region they began calling the "End of the World." This brings in several circumstances in which people thought that the world was flat, but, this was different. Those that travelled to the End of the World were never seen again, devoured by whatever monster that claimed the dakrness as its own.

A young boy, known as Christopher Milwell, set his sights on the End of the World. He was fascinated by its mystery, and eventually, travelled there with his best friend, Lucas Ropens. Lucas was a sick child over the course of his life, and he desired to travel to the End of the World with Christopher before he would die, which in his current condition, could be very soon. Christopher insisted that they reach the End of the World, discover what lie beyond the darkness, and return to tell the people of what they saw.

Christopher and Lucas, however, were devoured the minute they step foot into the chilling air of the darkness. They were not eaten or killed, they were devoured by their own madness. For they had discovered a horrible secret that God had not wanted known. This monstrosity, this epic demon, was known as The Game. It spread like an epidemic throughout the darkness and consumed thos that knew of its legend. With nowhere to go once a man had entered the darkness, they had nothing to fear but The Game they had just discovered.

Fortunately for Christopher, the camera he had brought with him, had recorded the encounter. A terrifying image that none could appreciate. Due to the appearance of the video, the entire world was in trouble. The doom that The Game was known for within the darkness, had finally reached the light. Suddenly, The Game was everywhere. It was undesirable, yet none could escape it. The only hope that one had was eventually forgetting its existence when reaching an old age, though few had accomplished the feat. The Game was killing everyone on earth.

One man, John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit, stood alone against the foul nature of The Game. He pointed his finger at the monster and shouted aloud, "You there! Beast! I have defeated you!" The Game only stared at the simple man and roared its rules at him. John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit only stood there and laughed, the monster realizing it had no effect. You see, John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit was deaf. He was also blind, but that didn't count out the fact that his name was my name, too. And whenever I went out, the people would always shout, "there goes John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit!" That is besides the point. John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit had found a way to destroy the game. He had won. The Game, at that point, ended forever. The people of the world, seeking the wisdom of John Jacob Jingleheimerschmit, blinded and deafened themselves.

And that, my son, is the story of why you should stop bitching and see that some people just have it worse than you.
