Way Back No. 5
The Game
Today, catch one rule
in the act.
One moment where you do something,
say something,
post something,
buy something,
and if you’re honest,
the audience was the reason.
Don’t stop doing it.
Don’t judge it.
Just whisper to yourself:
that was the game.
You only need to see it once,
clearly.
Because invisible games
have one weakness.
They only work
in the dark.
From chapter five
What usually happens
The first one you catch will be small. A photo taken for the feed instead of the memory. A sentence shaped for the room instead of the truth.
No penalty. The practice is the seeing, not the stopping. A game you can see is a game you can choose.
One line to carry
That was the game.
If someone came to mind
Some people read this page and think of one person the whole way through.
If that happened, send them back to themselves. It costs them nothing.
The other Ways Back are in their chapters, one per chapter, all of them free. This one is yours whenever you need it.
