Just Cause

Am I the Bad Guy?

So I had cousins over last night. Two brothers, one who is my age and who I get along with great, and one who is 11 and I personally don't like very much.

Regardless, I try to be a good host. My dad crashed at 1 am last night and left me in charge. And I tried to be cool. I let them use my PlayStation, and then the younger one was with my sis pelting each other with nerf guns. They had fun.

So regardless of all this, does it make me the bad guy if I decide that it's time to go to sleep when they take out the monopoly board at 3 am?

Because they seemed to think so.

Honestly though

You don't just go take out the monopoly board at 3 am.

Because for me, that's the equivalent of taking out a ouija board.

Next thing you know, it's four-thirty am and the banker is assaulting everyone with the calculator while the kid with the "get out of jail free" card is crying because we're forcing him to pay to get out of jail. And then the kid with boardwalk and park place is throwing the houses all over the game board and everyone is begging him to stop but he's too rich to be reasoned with. And during all this, one girl still managed to sneak the board away while everyone else was fighting and use it to summon a demon somehow.

I've seen all these things happen.

And I'm the bad guy for telling everyone to go to sleep before it happened.

On another note, this is the 100th chapter of Just Cause (no, I did not know there was a video game of the exact same name at the time that I first published this).

I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read the absolute nonsense I write here. This book is at 2K+ reads for some reason ʕʘ‿ʘʔ and I think I started it about a year and a half ago too.

So whether you're a friend of mine or just a casual reader, thanks a lot. It means a lot to know that people enjoy what you write.
