Lose Yourself


           Oh, Toyou! Though it seems meaningless considering how much of a naughty brat you are, but not this time. NOT TODAY. We are talking about 63 Building here, okay? Hello? What do you think 63 stands for? 63 stands for the number of stories in this damned building, for god’s sake! Besides, today is apparently not your day. Today is Minwoo’s Doljanchi. If you lose yourself today, you are giving EVERYBODY a hell of a day. Let’s not be a pain in the neck, shall we?
          …Knew you wouldn’t care about others, you egoistic bastard. You precisely messed up Minwoo’s Dol. Wonderful! Now you’ve got about half a hundred adults on your tail, to prevent you from embarking on your overly-exciting adventure. In other words, you don’t have a chance of escaping, okay? Just wait here and they will come for you. What is done is done, no point in racking your brain about it; just do not make this more bothersome than it already is.


No. Stay where you are.


          Damn! Just what do you think you are doing? The fact that you can’t press the button for sixtieth floor does not justify the action of pressing B1 button. You are just throwing yourself deeper into this abyss. OKAY, THAT’S IT. STAY IN THE ELEVATOR. Nothing fun is going on outside. You are about to make an irrevocable mistake. DON’T DO THIS.
          Go back to the elevator, please! You have no business around this ominous lake of unfathomable depth whatsoever. No matter how ignorant you are, you should know that drowning to death in Hangang River is being too prodigal with your life. If you die here, existence of this essay is contradictory, so go back to your elevator.
          Though it is indeed intriguing you have great affinity for this crappy piece of scribbles, but who cares? Good child! Listening to this advice is essentially the first good behavior you showed since your birth. And finally, this elevator is ascending! Dol will recommence once you return to the party, and your parents may not even reprimand you for your thoughtless breakout! As you already know, the party is held on the sixtieth floor.
          …As obvious as it seems, you do not fully understand the numbers. “52” is read as fifty-two, not sixty. And no, you have absolutely no business in this Japanese restaurant. If you want to get some sushi, there are plenty of them up there, so get out of this stupid place! Yes, the exit is here…What?
          You are just incorrigible. Absolutely. In fact, your technique of making everything all more difficult is so grand that it deserves some respect. So, this was your final destination? Kitchen of a sushi restaurant on 52-th floor of 63 building? If you have not noticed yet, tell you what, this is about the worst place to take a walk. Stay where you are, and don’t wander around like an idiot. STAY THE FXXX AWAY FROM THAT SASHIMI KNIFE.
          Boy, how you put your life at every existing stake out there! If it were not for that watchful chef who noticed and intervened, you would most certainly be dead now. And luckily enough, this philanthropic fellow would take you to your parents, Toyou! Finally, this ludicrous adventure is closing up.
          There! There are your parents! Oh, just look how pale their faces are, you spoiled child! It seems like they are the ones who suffered the most from this rather traumatic event…Umm, Toyou? David? David?
          …Alas. You really have no sense of tension, do you? Guess you truly are helpless. Thought you were dead for a moment. You are not hearing this anyway, but still, try to behave yourself. Indeed, today has truly been a hell of a day. Take a good night’s sleep, my stupid self.

  1. Weird in a good way. This was fun and funny, and we feel like we are right their with you getting lost in this monumental gold building. Some help with the 5 W's would make this essay better, and some might argue that your "voice" does not match the 2 year old persona. But this is a comedic essay that isn't taking itself too seriously, so it is allowed.

    It was fun to read in class and your enthusiasm and honesty is always appreciated. Good work!

  2. I like this but the words are kind of aggressive... haha
    I really like the point of view you have taken. You are outside the story describing yourself when you were a kid.
    The content was nice and the experience little you have had is kind of similar to others in a sense that many children get lost without any sense of danger.
    Really enjoyed this!
