Do or die

Start at the beginning.

As an ambivalent person, I usually make either great or terrible choices in my life. My story begins with the end of high school, when the brain is still underdeveloped enough to make either terrible or grandiose choices that will dramatically impact my future.

Choice 1 : I decide to please my parents and give life a go the right way. Go to CEGEP.

Choice 2 : I decide that I was locked up in school more than enough wasting my life, so I decide to do a dead-end job.

this or that

Let's become a teacher.

I was never really inspired by any teacher during high school, so I decide to become an inspiring one myself. Being in the program of education and culture, I meet, to my surprise, an inspiring teacher!

Choice 1 : Let's be a good student and see what will happen.

Choice 2 : Let's be a bad student

Jesus

Let's count the hours at Walmart.

The clock is ticking, the brainwashing songs in the radio never seem to stop. All I can think about is money, but every time I receive my pay, I feel like I was robbed by my boss, by the government. It's like I'm about to snap.

Choice 1 : I decide that I had enough of being bossed around for weeks, all for just a few bucks. I quit and look for better choices, maybe another similar but better paying job.

Choice 2 : That's enough of this bull crap! 120 bucks for all this? I'll see my boss and see how he likes my fist firsthand!

Burning time

The good student.

I managed to get good grades, who would have thought? All that's left is keep on keeping on, and I might actually have a meaningful life!

Choice 1 : Looking back

booking

The bad student.

Even though I was inspired by the teacher, I didn't feel like he/her was paying enough attention to me. Discouraged, I decide to leave this hellhole and get down to busyness.

Choice 1 : Let's count the hours at Walmart.

Choice 2 : I decide to persevere and see what happens

Choice 3 : I decide to persevere, differently.

anger

A lifetime of bad choices.

Sure, I wasn't being harassed or misguided by my boss or anything, I'm still extremely angry and left the job at Walmart. No way I can become a trainee or anything, after all this violence and everything. In this miserable world, I decide to become a drug dealer to make money, fast. This can only end in one way.

Choice 1 : Prison isn't for nerds.

Write a choice here.

dealer

The fight of a lifetime.

It turns out that my boss is a better fighter than me, maybe I'm an idiot. I threw his laptop at him in his office and broke his nose, but he still got up and managed to break mine, twice. He then fires me for some reason, the Uranus hole, so I have to find another solution to be rich, and fast.

Choice 1 : A lifetime of bad choices.

Choice 2 : Maybe studying isn't for nerds after all...

anger towards boss

Prison isn't for nerds.

Life is simple in prison. You wake up, stare at the wall, go outside for one hour to smoke a cigarette, eat two times a day, and then you go to sleep. You don't need to worry about money. Also, being a pumped mother f-er sure helps when it comes to beating the crap out of your enemies.

Choice 1 : Killing spree.

prison

Killing spree.

After taking stimulants for years without the prison guards noticing, I started to become really violent. After killing one cellmate, I killed another, then another. Now I'm on death row. I managed to get to death row. What a life I had.

Choice 1 : .

mean buddy

.

.

Choice 1 : Maybe make better choices

rip

A different, unlikely path.

I don't need to study to become the person I want to be. No need for any interview, on the job training, managing web pages, all that crap. I'm clever enough to make conclusions from my mistakes and to teach myself through other people I idealize, they don't need to be teachers. I'm a professional skier now, after spending all my money I got from working at the other Walmart... I didn't break my boss's nose, neither did he mine, not even once. I'm a great skier, so screw the system and screw you.

Choice 1 : The right path

skier telling you to go to hell, teacher

This is all I have got.

I made good choices in life, now I'm a happy and accomplished person.

Choice 1 : Let's do it all over again, maybe as my child 30 years later...
