MODERATORS ARE LAW OF THE LAND​

in this shit

In the beginning..the fall of Earth's defenses

(The retreat)

followin footprints in the snow, in the fall of the moonlight
the nightvision shows fallen platoons..A bitter tomb site..
..I hear a wolf howl..then it echos in the background
downloadin' transmissions.. of our enemies attack route
My opinion of the war now..is as negative, as my last doubt..
Within an instant..I saw a missle flare and heard vast shout..
..My signals jammed first..and then the radio crashed..
..analyzed the data log and examined all the protocol tasks ..
They were hackin in our network.. so I crushed the source..
then I took my AR off, and snatched my custom sword
I really fought hard as a soldier, but taken captive in defeat..
theY inserted a needle in my arm that slowed my actions into sleep..

What's happening now..The incarnation of hope

(life sentence)

Guards took me to thier militaries holdin, through a dim lit passage..
We passed a decapitated corpse, on a worn.. queen sized mattress..
I heard an prisoner bein torchered..and it echoed in my mind..
now I'm constructin a rope outta the sheets, to pass away the time..
I had to get down thier schedule, I only had.. one opportunity..
I wrote down thier routines.. and when they had checked in..usually..
The idea came upon me at a lunch break, to keep one of the spoons..
We passed empty cells on the way back..I placed it in one of the rooms
Found a piece of small steel in a broom, I'll put this to use soon
I was longin for a long hot bath and really needed to be groomed
Produced a knife for wielding, heard footsteps echo through the building
I took the rope from underneath the matress and hung myself from the ceiling

What's about to happen..redemption

(MY ESCAPE)

Discovered seconds later by the gaurds, they didn't really seem bothered
I heard the gate open, then the bigger of two men..said to his partner..
I'm not gonna touch him..we should notify the captain and wait..
heard em walk away..but they forgot to lock the clasp on the gate..
I cut the sheets with the knife, opened the door and ran for my life..
the clock was ticking, and I knew that I really couldn't stand for a fight..
Now I'm sprintin through the library, I really need to find the exit..
I looked out a window and saw tanks, I shouldn't go in that direction..
this is perplexin, I've gotta complete this maze to survive..
Now I've found the auditorium, so I exited the stage to the right..

I played suicide, u want far fetched? how reasonable is that
open your mind

Star wins via no-show

vote on 2 or you won't get the win.
