I have to add a forenote that I agreed to attempt the challenge only with extreme persuasion, you know how us adults tend to figure that if a four year old can do it….

Shoot him aka Claw

Shoot him, shoot him…SHOOT HIM!
I raise my gun to shoot but
my opponent quickly knifes me.
Shoot him!
I have no idea what I am doing
and at the moment the advise being screamed
in my ear sounds like the best plan
so I raise my gun again and attempt
to dodge his knives.
I miss.
Shoot him!! Shoot him!!
He doesn’t.
Shoot him!! Shoot him!!
Again I raise my gun, but he
anticipates my timing and
repeatedly knives me
Shoot him!! Shoot him!!
I see the darkness coming
I am dying…
the lights flash before my eyes…

**Game Over**

My advisor shakes his head
and states the obvious
Look, you are dead.
He reaches to take over the mouse with authority
and states with the ‘knowing’ air
that only the very young
can successfully possess
I hope you learned your lesson
I told you to shoot him.

ROFL... I can certainly empathize with feeling like a computer-illiterate fool next to a pint-sized whiz... though I swear I'd be better if my "boss" didn't cheat... He's right handed but insists on the mouse being set for lefties... as if he didn't have enough advantage over me! LOL

That's okay... we old (dead *G*) folks do have our uses... especially when the hunger monster attacks their little tummies. *G*

I enjoyed this very much, jellybeans. *S* But disclaimers to the contrary, I'm betting you fall for his challenge again... just plan on losing. LOL At least in the video world, we can die and get up to fight again. *S*
