"WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?"
these are some beautiful lines of the poem "Leisure" by W.H Davies.
Well I gotta admit in this world we genuinely don't have time to stand and stare
I am Ethan winters a 15 years old boy with normal brown eyes and one sided hair.
"tsk! players now are real bots , winning now is a piece of cake" I said the game that i was playing was knowns as "stranger" a zombie apocalypse game it also had a multiplayer mode that I was playing , the game was released in 2015 may .
Today 08-12-2024
Ah! it was my time to sleep . i woke up in the morning I saw time it was 7:00 in the morning I went to school to meet my game buddies .
actually the game I played was very underrated I think I am the only player and used to play with bots.
as i reached my home i proceeded to open my gaming PC . I played the game for nearly 2-4 hours my computer was damn hot .
Ethan rarely played the story mode of that game as it is damn long having an average playtime of 1.5 years and today Ethan is playing non stop to end the game and he will end the game today
the game was underrated and I am the first person to complete it As I finished the game my mother called me
" hey! Ethan have you brought bread and snacks " when she said that I remembered that tomorrow is my school trip.
" Mom not brought yet " I replied
" come down stairs " she ordered in a serious voice
As I went down stairs
" Ethan when I was your age, we used to buy tons of candies and chocolates and snacks you know what once we went on a 7 day trip like you and.... " ( long story short she told me that she went on a 7-day school trip, she and her friend were chased by a bear )
I ran as fast as I can to see the last cutscene of the game but as I saw my monitor there was a message on it it said " thanks for playing stranger! "
My god I was not able to record the ending
Well anyways the game was super underrated
I suddenly got a call from my friend named "Yagami"
"bro have you brought anything for the trip we are going Xing from Ivory city the temperature of Xing is -30°C " said Yagami
"well bro the game I have been playing from last 5 years has been finished today " I said
" you ended that super underrated " he replied
" yeah "
" ah Damn something that I can tell my friends well done soldier, but I have a question " he replied
" ask don't worry Now I know everything "
" what happened in the end ? " he replied
I hanged up the phone
Got in a fight with my mom, was about to cancel the trip
The time was almost 6:00 in the evening
I was crying
" ayo! Boy I don't know which game are you even talking about but something I know is that you worked hard to see the ending of the game but a story is about ending but a game is when you are the main character so the fun is of journey not of the destination " said my mother while coming inside my room and sitting beside me for sometime when she said that I can see the MC of the game in her ( Alexander).
The MC was a self motivated badass hero
" let's go for shopping " Said my mom
" yeah" I replied
The next day I went to school our school buses dropped us on the Railway Station our class teacher Mr. Hamster stated taking attendance we sat in the train .
I was in a cabin room sitting on the lower berth and there were 4 Berths I my cabin.
We were very happy for the trip .
After 29 hours in the train we successfully managed to reach our destination
Xing a city situated on the corner of the country.
As we exited the train we saw a bunch of umbrella waiting to be picked by someone
"guys pick up those umbrella "said Mr Ham
Everyone picked 1 umbrella the umbrellas were transparent and you have to pay to use them Mr Ham paid the money for every child 1-by-1 .
I met my friend Yagami after a lot of time because the cabin in which yagami was sitting was so far away from my cabin maybe he got a coupe.
"long time no see buddy " he shouted as soon as he saw me and came near me running
" I asked what happened in the end of stranger yesterday " said Yagami
Actually..... I told him the whole tale
"you was not able to see the ending of the game " replied yagami
" man are you serious at this point of time " asked yagami
" yeah " I replied
then after a pretty long conversation we finally headed towards our inn rooms
THE NEXT MORNING WAS TERRIBLE!
I woke up at 05:00 in the morning i felt lucky as i looked towers the clock because i do not usually able to see the perfect hours outside the dorm was snowing .
Mr. Green [ our PT teacher ] told us about our today's trip
" Today we will go to the amaze valley of Xing " as he told us that he showed us long jacked and boots and told us to wear these because of the heavy snowfall.
The Xingese valley was o top of the famous Aquaregia mountain so, first of all we will go to the mountain through bus then we will climb the mountain through horses or mules .
unfortunately our school was a little too bad in this kind of stuff "we will start climbing by our foot " said the principal while everyone was about to go to the horse and mule stand. we then saw 2 arrows pointing towards right and left , the foot way was on the right .
I suddenly saw a human all covered in snow on the left, I decided to help him as i moved towards the climate started getting changed but I ignored it but it kind of seemed familiar it seemed like the starting of STRANGER! I don't even know why I was happy the starting of stranger was a total massacre the sky color was changing from red to blue from blue to orange the color of the snow again started changing .
As i TOUCHED THE MAN ................. THAT GUY WAS SOMETHING ELSE NOT A HUMAN
