The one-foot game

Bad people don't hide very well, they can't keep themselves from coming out to say hello. Eventually, they are caught. So, they make plans, let's call it a game. The 1-foot game. What is the 1-foot game? Well, it can mean many things. You can be 1 foot away from a person, just in your grasp. You can do a lot to a person within one foot. Imagine the possibilities. Maybe it means that you have to be one step ahead of everyone else. Maybe one step behind. Following Hunting Inside, everyone is a killer. There are no good people on this earth. Even Gandi had enemies. Is anyone truly worthy of this heaven so many rely on? I don't think so. What's the difference between psychos and "normal" people? What makes you different? Nothing, one is just more accepted than the other. "Normal" people used to sacrifice babies to gods. cover themselves in goat blood. stomp on pregnant woman's bellies. Is that normal too you? One foot ahead. One foot behind Watching.
