Murder was written in his eyes. Walking up to the businessman in a suit and with a briefcase he took a holt and asked one question, "May I take your life please?
"Yea sure go ahead and try it, responded the diesel businessman who could easily take on the puny psycho.
"Thank You sir, said the man with gratitude.
The businessman waited while the little man closed his eyes and started to mumble. As the little man reopened his eyes he appeared in the businessman's suit holding the briefcase with the other man nowhere in site. That day the little man took the daily routine that the businessman would take as he was led by his spell. He sat at the office and was clueless as to what to do. At the meeting he almost fell asleep in boredom, and after that he spent his day on the phone and doing paperwork. By the end of the day he was exhausted. After a ten-hour workday he decided that this life was not for him, so he returned the life to the owner and went out in search of a new one.
While walking in a rich neighborhood he saw a beautiful house with a Ferrari in the driveway. He walked up to the owner of these things who was about to get into the luxurious fire red machine.
"May I take your life please? the little man asked.
"Ya sure buddy let me see what you've got, replied the lawyer.
He raised his fist ready to fight, but paused as he saw the little man close his eyes. Thinking the little man was a lunatic he walked back to his car, put on a face and threw his hands toward the man as though to tell him he was crazy. After a few seconds the rich mans body froze in the middle of action and the little man appeared in the same spot and position. I could get to like this thought the little man. He spent the day exploring the beautiful mansion and its materials inside. Then he went to the beach and drove around in the newly bought boat. However, the man started to feel lonely and all the fun out of the new life was gone. He decided to try it for one more day, but after another long ten-hour workday he decided that the life wasn't for him, got rid of it, and went out in search for another one.
The rest of the week he traveled through all type of luxurious lives, but all of them were lonely and hard work. They were missing something that he had grown up with all his life, so he moved onto less expensive lives. These lives were missing the exact same thing as the lives before and it seemed as though the people in these lives were wasting them trying to get to the same lifestyle as the people he was before. Realizing that money wasn't important in life he took the life of a poor man. Though all the values of life were there, he felt as though there was too much stress, depression, and more work than the previous lives combined just to get by.
After another week of trying lives some as extreme as motor cross riders he began to think that life wasn't really for him. However, one day while walking down the street he saw a family holding hands crossing the street. He saw the smiles and happiness of the father, the wife, and the two kids. Then it struck him. That's what he wanted. That's what was missing in the other lives. Love, emotions, family, and all the small things in life. He went up to the man and asked the man for his life as he did with the others. This time however he got a different, less ignorant, and more helpful response.
"Get your own, said the man.
It struck the little man that that's what he needed to do. He evaluated his skills, discovered what he liked and from there he set out to make the perfect life that he so dearly dreamed of. After all you are the one that writes your future.
