Have you ever tried actually play chess backwards, backwardly, awkwardly, where the pawn,actually becomes a King in disguise, Where queens, only dreams of a King in her skies, where bishops, only can be beheaded by a knight of lies, on a checkered board, filled with checkers, checking to see, if checkers actually bookmarked, books marked, regularly with checkered flags, check-marked, with finish lines, have you ever found yourself writing blank checks, never meant to be cashed, laughed, when check books are stolen, hoping for a better ending, or praying before the end ends, hoping the beginning actually starts differently, before it ever begins, beginning with the aftermath, after math, does it's own long division, and the remainders, remaining, remains, enough to be reminded, leftovers, are often left over, when left sober, or do you drink, drinking, thinking, thoughts alone, will suffice, for the insufficient, funds, never deposited, to offset, offsetting, mathematical mathematics, never learned, or collaborated, collaborating, long enough to be summed, up in one short subtraction, subtracting, nonsense, from sense, just to make sense enough, to simply make sense into cents, have you ever drunk too much, not to be drunk, or smoked enough, to not ever be high, than realized, there were no cure, to be sure, the pain, could ever be completely forgotten once begotten,forgetting to forget, there's no remedy for stupidity, as the dumber simply drifts off to the dumbest, and best is never left off better off, just better thought, and fights are better fought inside of a ring, where the trained, trains, trainers, never meant to fight, how fair of a fight is a trained Assassin, assassinating, assassins, who never seen true war, how sweet is a victory, never sought by the winner, how wrong is the sinner, who never asked to be born, or how right is the beginner, who were only taught to see to see war to its end,than ask yourself where is the end, or what is a true ending.

Sarah's never been average. Okay, that's a lie, of course she has. But for the past three years she's been doing everything she can to avoid it. Sarah's given up men, she's given up love, and... she's never been happier. Imagine that. Top of her classes, and with true success only a few years away, she planned to be big. Way big. The David Tennant of Finance. 'Course, her plans kind of went down the drain the day she joined the chess club... The day she met Mark Ubersmife.
