Octomeber Day 5 - Saw

Day 5 is upon us and today we are taking our inspiration from one of the more recent icons of horror. Jigsaw does get some fairly iconic lines throughout the Saw saga. For today's piece I want you to start off with perhaps his most classic line - "I want to play a game". Bonus points to you if you manage to include some of the other well-known lines from the series.

Puzzle Box

I want to play a game 
of shadows and rituals. 
I want you to know God in 
these moments - when faced 
with death, who should live 
versus who will live becomes
two very separate things.

Turn. Twist. Separate.
Study. Death comes quickly.
Death is a surprise party;
a whisper in deep dark of 
night that lulls you to 
sleep suddenly. Like a lullaby
in your mother's voice.

Break in if you can. If you 
can anticipate the human mind 
it leaves nothing to chance; 
watch them dance desperately 
around the skeletons of failure 
at their feet. Watch it dawn on 
them that this is over.
