“To confront Nature has always been a core concept of the entertainment man has sought. The thrill of overcoming that which cannot be tamed, that which poses an ever present danger to your body. It speaks to a primal part of the soul that cannot be quelled.”
“And that has influenced how people have constructed their interactions with Nature for pleasure. From the beast hunts, to liontaming, all the way to vapid survival shows that play endlessly to no one who is watching.”
“Klaus Way you’d fancy yourself a bit of an entertainer. So you know this concept quite well. After all, nearly every circus through time has attempted to tame an animal in some form or another. Every ring leader insists they can push the barrier a little bit more assuring they know what kind of beings they are working with.”
“And the same fate befalls all of them who insist they can do a better job than what nature has given. A gnash of teeth and a river of blood before a crowd, as a clown says their final farewells to the audience and the world.”
“All the while the crowd looks on in stunned horror. But what did they expect? They paid to see a man to dance on the razor’s edge, it was only a matter of time until someone fell. No one wants to admit that the unspoken rule is that people don’t pay to see the entertainer get the win at the end of the day.”
“They pay to see the morbid curiosity of maybe Nature will claim their life.”
“Because you can never deny an animal their baser instincts. They were not meant to be subject to the bright lights of the entertainment industry. To assume that they would act otherwise is a fool’s mindset”
“Because standing across from you is something that cannot be tamed. A force that has observed every joke that ringmasters have put Nature through. And looks upon you with disdain.”
“Standing across from you is me.”
“And you will fall by my hands, looking out at the crowd, another victim who has crossed nature and has to give their final bow. But will the crowd be horrified by the display that they have seen? Or will they have stood there with apathy. Knowing that the final joke of Klaus Way was nothing more than a sick joke. One easily preventable.”
“Either way your goal is simple Klaus it’s not win or Lose. it’s to simply escape with your life and body intact.”
