Story 5: Luci Puipead

*tap tap*
Hello, can anyone hear me?

...

Okay. *clears throat* My name is Luci.

Well, that is my internet/stage name anyway. Luci Puipead, Luci being short for Lucifer, and Puipead being Irish for Puppet. I'm Lucifer's Puppet in this game of life... Or at least, that's what I'd like to think, but in reality... He is my puppet.

In reality, I'm the one controlling him, I'm the one ruining his life. He has made me infuriated. He has messed with the wrong family, so... So, starting today I'm going to make him my puppet. How am I going to do that you ask? Well, simple really. I'm going to be happy. When someone dies, I won't cry. I'll just say: "see you in the next life." If I ever become homeless, I won't be upset, I'd just be glad that the sky is my roof, and nature is where I call home. If I'm depressed, I won't be debating suicide. I'd get so lugubrious I'd be determined to prove to everyone I'm more than this mask.

I know it's not that easy for some, especially the pessimistic people, trust me, I know, I'm one of them! You don't have to be strong to accomplish this. You just want to have to give it a try, because maybe after all life on earth could be your heaven, your paradise. Isn't that at least worth giving a try? Unless you're already consumed by the thought that you're not good enough... Nothing I say or do could help you. I'm sorry I couldn't save you friend, but I'm just one human. I can't save everyone, but if I can at least save one person, even if that one person is me, that's good enough.

My name is Luci Puipead.

And this is my story.

Poem 5: Fixed It

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Everyone tried to fix who he was,
Tired of it all,
He jumped and died.
A pawn in a game,
Jumping desperately,
Trying to escape the devil's mascarae.
