Duckhunt — A story

26/7/21

It’s strange when people on a website or network come together to bring you down. You think there must be some reason that these people started torturing you but in the end you realise that assholes don’t need any reason. You probably have read the The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell. To be continuously fucked and experimented upon, you just need to fit the bill. The more intelligent 'the game’, here meant in the sense of hunt, is, the more fun it becomes for sadistic assholes, especially if they have preconceived notions about the social class or/and geographical area and culture you belong to.

So, on this network, you see a lot of people, and you were just random, because you wanted to be random, you had a writing style and you were exploring other writing styles along with going with the flow of the said network.

On the same network there is an aunty, Elite and well-spoken no doubt, and she has her lackeys too. You wonder why would she be borderline disgusted when you mentioned that you see everything with a sense of awe. You get along with a few people and the ones you don’t get along with, as any self-respecting and logical person would do, you don’t talk to them. This aunty along with her lackeys used to play a game which will now be referred to as Duckhunt. Young boys, escaping their drab, painful lives behind an internet identity were the targets and she and her lackeys derived pleasure from the torture, mainly mental in nature, they inflicted on these poor souls, afflicted with melancholia, anxiety or sometimes their own libido.

Now, this is not only the aunty’s fault, she was just the one who was openly enjoying. Nothing bad in enjoying what you love. After all Elephants got to show the monkeys whose the boss, only difference is that elephants are not assholes. Now enough about the aunty. The people involved in the “Duckhunt" will be referred from now on as ‘Assholes’.

So the assholes used to choose their victims on this network, most of them (the assholes) were probably but surely dark web creatures with enough resources to hunt for 'The Most Dangerous Game’. If you want to compare the difference of resources the Assholes and their 'game' had, compare the countries of United States and Tuvalu. So, it made the hunt for the game, less of a hunt and more of a torture porn. I’m sure enlightened ones of you have seen the movie Hostel. Only difference is that this was on a mental plane instead of physical. You would think that Doctors are bound by their oath to not to participate in this sort of a “game" but you can’t be wrong enough. Here, apply some Volini if your feelings about the doctors are hurt. Intelligence people, both corporate or government would know about these kinds of games resourceful people play.

You must be wondering what kind of a game is it? Well, every game is different, and more individualised than homeopathic treatment, but to give you an idea, it’s more like the movie Amir. If you haven’t watched the movie, no need to watch it just for this story as the game differs from person to person. Just know that it involves a lot of sabotage, honeytraps and mocking, till the murder or suicide happens.

Now, since the assholes (not actually elephants, because elephants are gentle creatures) are very resourceful, there is practically no way out. Once you are in the game, it’s the matter of counting the days till you expire. Sorry to leave the story open ended.

PS. Let us not forget Aunty’s loyal dog, Ranga Shetty.
