1 Chapter 1: A Chain Of Events

I believe that life is a series of events, a chain of happenings in which each event is caused by the last. And I believe that that is present in the situation right now.

You hang out with a certain group of kids in infant school, and they cause you to be more into playing games like 'it' and reading, so you do that instead of football. And all that reading causes you to enjoy learning more, which causes you to do well in school. This leads to you entering a grammar school, which leads to a better education, and that results in better test scores. And that causes higher predicted grades to meet, which leads to pushing yourself more to get smarter, and thus you get predicted great GCSE scores, and so you spend months preparing for the GCSE's. So, while other people in your year are out at home on study leave, you still go into school like all the lower years that still have to, so you can talk to teachers for advise. And during all the studying, you drink a lot of water, so, during lunch, you go to the toilet on the third floor of the building your're in.

Which ultimately leads you to be stuck in the room next to the toilet.

Of course, sometimes outside forces affect your life. For example, I don't think running around a field prodding other children yelling "Your It!" as a child causes a highly infectious disease to infect a large portion of people at once, causing them to attack others. No, I'm pretty sure that is unrelated to anything. But hey, it's the broad strokes that matter, and those strokes led me to be stuck in a room with about 15 people, of which 4 of them and I are currently pressing ourselves against the door, stopping the entry of who-knows how many infected.

It's clear that this isn't sustainable; we can only hold them back while doing nothing else for so long. Well, I guess that means it's time to take action, doesn't it?
