Geri’s Game

It was a bright and happy morning in the local park.

Geri sat down for a game of chess on this regular morning for himself

Alone, but still content as can be he began to set up the board

Geri made the first move like a cheetah stalking its prey

After the first move, Geri proceeded to move to the other side slowly like a snail

Sitting down Geri inspected the board and made a move for the other side

As the game progresses faster and faster after every move Geri’s aggressive alter ego takes authority

With the cool Autumn breeze blowing against his old wrinkly skin Geri grows nervous

Geri’s alter ego playing as the black side slowly gains more control over Geri himself

Dwindling down Geri’s pieces to 1 left Geri can smell defeat

However, Geri uses his knowledge and wisdom to outsmart his alter ego

Geri quickly fakes a heart attack to distract his alter ego from the game to throw his himself off

Geri swings, stumbles, and sits on the ground

His alter ego confused and distracted does not know what to do

Geri then takes the opportunity to flip the board around and now his alter ego is losing

Geri was a witch when he laughed and clearly basking in his glory as the victor

From going back and forth between players Geri successfully beat himself at chess

The slight crackle in his laugh was demoralizing to his alter ego as his alter ego sat in defeat

Handing over a pair of dentures as his prize his alter ego tipped his hat

Sitting alone in the park again Geri was satisfied with his victory

His teeth shined as bright as the sun as he smiled sitting in the park.
