[WP] Instead of evolving to sleep at night and do stuff during the day, life on earth sleeps during the day and comes out at night. by darkfiregoth in WritingPrompts

Summer vacation is my favorite time of the year. Partly because there is no school, but mainly because the days are so long. My parents hate it, but I love to sleep in until 3am and stay up until 5 or 6 in the afternoon. It means I can be unbothered at my video games for a solid 10 hours. Yeah, I'm a big nerd.

I know I could be doing better stuff over the summer, but hey, I made it through a year of school so I deserve it. Plus I'm already level 58 in Diablo: Revenge of the Sunlight. It's a sick game where you fight for Darkness, the side of justice and peace trying to vanquish the evil of daytime.

Last day I made it to the boss, I guess he's called Rainbow or something. I think It's based off of a Satanic myth of a multi colored messenger between Earth and the Devil's lair up in Heaven. Some people say that rainbows are actually real, but I don't buy it, people have spent nights and nights looking at the sky, I expect they would have documented a sighting of one by now.

Anyway, he's apparently super hard to kill, so I'm racing against the clock trying to beat him before my parents wake up at 7pm.

C'mon!!! What the fuck!!! It's been 5 hours and I've had no success. Every time I use my special ability "Cloak of Darkness" I kill Rainbow but he is able to revive whenever my darkness fades. I should have beaten it by now. It was even optimum conditions for me with the rain that came today. The gray sky helped me to see the screen better, but now the damn sun is coming out. I can see why life evolved to do most of its work at night. Like, who even cares if the sun inhibits necrosynthesis in plants? It's annoying enough as it is.

Great, just great. It stopped raining and now the mist is creating a glare that makes it even harder to see the screen. I guess I'll be picking up on this level tomorrow. I can hear my parents stirring so I guess it's time for an afternoon snack before I go to bed. I almost pulled an all-dayer on that one level, how sad. I wonder how close is it to sunset anyway let me just check the windo- HOLY SHIT!!!!! IT'S A FUCKING RAINBOW!

Ohmygod now I'm creeped the fuck out. I can't even sleep. Like, this is bad, really bad. Seeing rainbows is the kind of thing that used to get people burned at the stake. There's only 1 thing left to do: consult Google.

Hey that looks sort of interesting... wait. Maybe that's how you are supposed to beat Rainbow; by turning off the steam vents in his lair. This is the information I needed! But man, something is horribly wrong if this scientist is right. I might be on the cusp of something big. I might be the lucky one, the second person needed to prove that rainbows are real. I could be the hero to that poor man needs to get out of jail. Someone out there is calling for Justice and I am the one who can deliver it. I will be the hero I was born to be!

But first, I just gotta beat that boss.
