The Sun Sets over Messi's Career as a Candle

If you for some particular reason decided to skip reading my last post, you are utterly shameful to mutant forefather kind. Although I have yet to decide whether or not you are actually part of the kin or not, but you're a shame no less.

Neymar is the most amazing person.

There is a lamp in the corner of the room I am currently situated in.
It is ceramic, a very thinly crusted porcelain, and a dying spider-web wrapped light bulb sways in the rusty settlement it calls powerhouse. It's filaments sticking out at a pitiful number of odd angles, its electric days over. Its very chemistry dead and energy less.

This bulb, called Messi, shimmers only with the light of the forest fire outside.
Only the high pyromaniacs allow for a glimmer of shining hope to fill his empty glass.

He is a beacon of hope for all dying bulbs.
To be candles lit by drug-obsessed Norwegians that kindle the woods as their hearth.

But, aye, suddenly the sun dips to low beyond the horizon.
All faint rays of light that ever were, gone, blinding another driver instead.
And suddenly Messi is not a candle anymore,  as the room is dark.


The sun set on his dreams.

Ah, yes, the sun makes men do many crazy things.
