Imagine, for a moment, that reality is like a giant tabletop game. You know how you sometimes have bad days? Perhaps you just kept rolling low numbers. Do you notice just how contradictory people can be? Well, maybe different numbers were rolled each time.

But reasonably, a game so complex as life would need more than a six-sided die, and we'd need a lot more than one die. Or, would we? Is life really as complex as you think it is, or can it easily be mashed up into a single six-sided die. It might seem impossible, but you might not be as big and complex as you think you are. He could have trillions of results all in one single dot on a die.

The creator of this game would have to be a genius among all other geniuses. There's the possibility he created other worlds. Life could be so different there from here and we could only pretend we could fathom it.

Now, in this hypothetical thought experiment, where does evolution lie in this? How many beings were denied existence based on a die roll? How close were we to being on that die roll? You're entire life was based on a bunch of die rolls - which makes sense because we can definitely prove that a bunch of coincidences had to have happened for you to be born. If any single one of your descendants died or didn't mate you wouldn't be here. We were all born lucky in a sense.

But back to the other species: What if one's just being delayed? What if this being who rules over our entire existence is creating a being so powerful it will wreck our world? What if all those creatures we created in mythology was just the game's creator giving us hints as to what this future being will be, just so we aren't wholly unprepared.

And now, finally, ask yourself, what if the person writing this is the creator and they truly just want to warn you before it happens?

Author's notes: Hello, I decided to make this because I love hypothetical thought experiments. I'm hoping this is interesting.
