It can't possibly hurt Can it?

At first it seems harmless

A bit of innocent dangerous fun

It can't possibly hurt
Can it?


Night, collecting rings or coins aiming for that new high score

At climax of the harrowing challenge

DINK DINK DINK at the window
Unable to focus the room goes dark...


Dusk, collecting critters and vegetation for research

Capture device ready legendary critter in your sights

WOOSH SNAP SNAP CRACK from behind
The catch escapes the sun sets...


Surrounded by people all chipping away at their own assigned tasks

a break from typing a moment of self silence

BUMP THUD SCRATCH passes by loudly
Face, focus, burried in the typing of keyboards work day ends....


DINK DINK DINK
     Door closes
     Keys drop
WOOSH SNAP CRACK
     Brief gust of cold air
     cold solution in hand
BUMP THUD SCRATCH

GULP GULP GULP
numbing silence...


Sun crests the horizon...

DINK DINK DINK
motionless
WOOSH SNAP CRACK
restless
BUMP THUD SCRATCH
hopeless
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Silence

Sun sets...
