The world is full of games. Dead or alive? Maybe you can survive or not, but ultimately everyone has the same destination, the "Death".

They say mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before, but what if one mistake can ruin many lives and you cannot change it at all.

Love takes no account of evil, it takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true and right. But what if the love that you thought caused a blunder.

Would you jeopardize the lives of thousands of people to survive for the sake of one person's life?

Would you blame me if I just wanted to be with my loved one for a long time, in a way that I know?

Once you enter, there's no turning back. The game has no ending until your last breath. Agreement is agreement, but choosing good is always in your hands.
Soul and conscience are your opponents.



Living in place with the people that you loved, contentedly in what you have is the happiest gift in this crucial world. I am Kalós, the only child of Aplós and Omorfiá, we are living in a small village of Elpízo. My father is known as a great hunter and good at making a hypnotic liquid for the animals and my mother is a laundress. My parents may not be educated, we are poor, but full of love, and I'm proud of it. Through the hardships of life I stopped studying. I am always with my father when he is making a hypnotic liquid as used for hunting animals. Just like what my father's doing I also learned how to make a hypnotic liquid.

My heart sank every time that I saw my parents suffering because of the great poverty. Sad to say, there are people who exploit the ignorance of their neighbors, no longer satisfied with the power that they enjoy. I know that my parents would not have suffered had it not been for the greedy people who possessed my parents' land. As a child that loved his parents, I wanted to give a good life for them.

One amazing day it seemed so exciting. I met a scientist he visited in our village for my father, because he was impressed by my father's talent, and he wanted to see it. My father and I are making a hypnotic liquid. Incidentally, one of the hypnotics liquid jars splashed the blood of the bat. We tried the different hypnotic liquid, it was both effective. And as the days passed we observed what would happen in two animals, the one sheep woke up from the hypnotic and the other one did not. We saw the vulture die beside the dead sheep, and the scientist said, it was fantastic. Father did not allow me to touch the dead body of the animal and he burned them immediately. I know how deadly the thing that we made. The scientist was offering big money to my father as an exchange of the deadly liquid and father kept on rejecting it. I do not know what is going on, and why my father needed to reject it.

Every day is not always the same, and today is different from yesterday. Our happiest day changed, I’m suffering again because of my cursed disease. My body is gradually weakening. I cannot let myself see that my parents are also suffering because of my condition .

I woke up in the place where the smell and color of the ambiance seemed so new it was fully colored of white, and I heard my mother's voice rumble, I know she cried for the whole night, and I found out the cursed disease that I've been suffering was leukemia. Almost every day that I'm here in this room, on the other side, I hear my father, he's crying and restless. Everything was so weird, and I do not know what's going on. I do not know why we afford to stay in this expensive hospital. I opened the television and I heard very bad news. It talks about the virus. The symptoms of it are too familiar for me and I continue watching. Some people protest because of the lackness of support of our government for the health of citizens.

I heard my parents talking, and I found out my father is the reason for the virus that is spreading in our nation. Devastated, that's what I felt, I overcame my disease but thousands of people are suffering. Father explained to me that the scientist that we met before was a vassal of the rich man in the town. If he does not agree with them, I will die, and they will kill my whole family. Everything is still not clear to me why those people need to do it, and father said , the rich man has an opponent with the other politicians. He wanted to ruin the current president in the eyes of citizens. No one knows what is the cure of the virus, and as his chance he will be the one to provide them medicines to get the trust of the people. Evil and greedy people always make a way, even deadly schemes.

Should I blame my father? Or those people who abuse his weakness? I know he did it because he loves me, but I would rather choose to die than to see thousands of people suffer. My family and I are alive, we surpass the one of the games of this playful world but father's soul and his conscience are slowly killing him. Once you make a blunder you will suffer until your last breath.
