The game I’ve been playing all my life. I’m very good at it. When I was little, I had someone who played the game with me. My equal. Sometimes my better and sometimes my easy win. Sometimes my predator and sometimes my prey. On the same side fighting the demons, sometimes attacking, sometimes defending, protecting each other. That other went away. And now she’s back, along with all the he in her who match all the she in me. I love playing with her. It is everything.
The game’s next layer only reveals itself when we arrive at our common destination. We are each there first. I call this a tie, an even count across the dimensions of the playspace. When’s the next game?
