Life is a game of chess.

Chess is a game of strategy.

Strategy is the key to life.

Plan ahead, never look back.

Where do you want to go to college?

What do you want to study?

Go to school, graduate, get a job, get married,

buy a house, have kids,

live out the rest of your life in a peaceful state of victory,

knowing you played your pieces right.

But what happens when you move your rook to take a bishop,

not realizing that a knight is waiting to jump from behind a pawn

and take away your chance?

You start again, moving your pawns forward, slowly but surely.

Trying to plan ahead

Plot

With the knowledge that the loss of one pawn

Can set you back

A king stands before you

Watching

Waiting

The pawns that remain line up in a row

The king scoffs

and realizes there is nowhere left to run

For every pawn can become a queen

Every pawn can choose their piece

And every pawn can end the game
