WC- 430
My eyes gazed upon the board of black and white. The atmosphere was settle, unlike these past few days. I missed the feeling of this perplexing calmness; it felt nice.
With my mind alive and my lips in a tight line, I considered my next move with deep thought. This game was one of my best skills, if I'm honest. Back in the day, Techno and I had a self-carved wooden board to play chess on. This brought light to my competitive nature. Like a virus, his competitive aroma spread to me. It's one of my characteristics I quite adore, and I'll humble it upon myself to my dying days.
I placed my Bishop to a3, clueless in strategy. "You invited me to a game of chess to chat, yet you haven't spoken a word," I glance up from the board to observe his slouched figure.
He seems lost in though until he lets out a light sigh. "The art of chess can easily define your competitors thinking patterns," he acknowledges, avoiding my previous statement. "Nostalgic, with a touch of pessimism; that's what I see in you."
"If your idea of talking is creepily observing your competition, consider me freaked out," I smile up at him. "Are you sure you want to place your Rook there?"
He raises his head and places his elbows below that dreadful mask. "You tell me."
As we continue to play in our silence, I feel the urge to break the silence. "You're clever, manipulative even," I note out of the blue. "You're convinced all you do is for good, to get back at someone even."
He looks up at me, but he only delivers silence. So, I continue, "Something from the past is only what I could assume. Tragic; your consideration and re-adjustments express it almost as clear as day," I pause for a moment, squinting. "You're a tough cookie, aren't you. I can't help but wonder all that you are truly hiding, Mr. Dream."
My hand reaches my knight, "And that's checkmate."
