The System In My Head
Finding the inner strength to make love
'I better tell my dad to sell his shares in Mattel...Barbie's not so hot anymore...' That's another L for Ben.
Sitting at the bar and listening to the DJ giving him a remix of Radiohead's "I'm a Creep" Ben couldn't help but smile helplessly. If he could not see his weakness before, it was right in front of his face now — he was bad under pressure. The long series of failures tonight proves it.
He does better with the support of his friends and is given enough time to adapt to the situation, but time is not on his side. He is alone, and faces new challenges. Thus, the sad outcome is a series of errors and poor judgment. 'I don't think that should have surprised me, because I've been hiding from the pressure all my life ...'
He looked at his hand, observing his lonely calluses. Who from toying with his youth, from running and hiding, from avoiding. 'Why do I keep trying? Maybe I should just go home, poop, and sleep...'
Ben looked around the room at all the beauty dancing happily, creating a strong contrast to his miserable state. Most of them had already given him a response— rejection, Ben's old friend who was familiar. Eyes dimming. 'Am I stupid to keep fighting like this? ...Do I even have a chance to survive in 4 days? I'm still very far away... What am I even fighting for?' Doubt crept in, and he lost hope.
It was his lowest point when something in the corner of his eye caught his attention. His gaze was magnified like an eagle. Then ...he found his reason for staying alive. 'No...I may be stupid.but those titties aren't stupid!'
Ben was staring at the big shelf of a dancing brunette girl...
It reminded him of a similar couple, a couple he had emulated not too long ago...
Then he looked not far away from her and saw something else, a busty blonde with long legs. The stem reminded him of a pair of sexy legs with brown boots. Who vibrated in the air when he brought his owner to******* just a few hours ago.
Ben smiled because he knew he found the second wind. 'Even though things look dark. As long as I never give up, there's always a chance...' He chuckles. 'When did I become so stubborn? If it was me from a month ago, I would not have tried at all, or stopped after the first failure ... I guess I should appreciate the noose on my neck ... By the way ...'
Ben realized every second that passed gloomily was one second less for him to live! 'Even if I end up dead in a few days, I will be damned if I don't swing! Let's do a home run!''
He looked around the room. 'Even no 2 sets now ...' The closest thing was a group of three women sitting at a table. 'Two obstacles... It may be challenging but I will try. This will be a good opportunity for speed.' He approached.
With confidence, Ben sat next to the three women. At first, they are not inviting, but they get warm with their charm and positive attitude. Ben chooses his target and knows he needs something to assuage the other two. 'Something for both of them...' Eyes sparkling.
Moments later, he destroyed the monopoly set in front of them ...
Ben spreads a confident grin. "I recommend the dog ..."
***
'Don't pass goo..don't collect one fucking number.' murmured Ben. Then he got enlightenment. 'I am so stupid! Of course I failed! I've treated women like children...' He slapped his head. With a fresh sense of confidence, and seeing a new woman enter the venue, Ben returned to the field.
***
'It's so funny!' The barrier laughed as he glanced at his friend.
Ben smiles. 'This set is going well. I was stupid before, giving children toys to adults. Now that I know the problem, my confidence is back. Using this new start, I had to attack when I had a good mood.'
The barrier was still giggling as Ben put something in his hand a huge purple—dildo vibrating...
...
'Adult toys for adult women...' Ben winks at her. "It's got 4 speeds ..."
***
'Fresh start my ass!'

Ben peered around the dance floor. 'I should try to find that purple vibrator later...If nothing else, I'm sure Beluga will buy it for style points...'
Considering everything so far tonight, Ben is tired of strategizing. 'You know, fuck it. I'm just going to hit these women with all that's left and see what works. I don't care anymore.'
***
One of the obstacles takes a piece of paper out of Ben's hand. He read it aloud, "Find the clues, but don't stress. You'll find others where you dress ..."
Ben hid the scavenger hunt clues all over the bar...
"That will keep him busy for a while." He nodded at her. "Being crazy..."
***
*pop**pop*
A woman now holds a bubble wrap ...
Ben warned. "Don't hurt yourself..."
***
"What am I supposed to do with this?!" yell different obstacles.
"Use your imagination!" Ben answers.
He brought pillows and bed linen to make a pillow fortress...
***
A girl follows the trail of rose petals that Ben drops when he enters the bar...
It took him out, where the guards didn't let him back in ...
Because Ben smeared the stamp on his hand earlier...
***
Sitting at the bar, Ben frowned. 'I was so close to that last hurdle. If only he had not sent a text message to the target to leave the bar...I forgot about that goddamn phone...It seems like they are not in important parts of novels or movies...Why am I the only one who has to deal with this?'
About the only positive result he got was this:

Something else was bothering him. 'I wish I had the dimensions of space for inventory. How's the first thing that all those MCs got, and I have to carry this stupid big backpack with all this crap?'
Ben could not stop shaking his head. 'The worst part is .. Nothing works! Women are too demanding of ways to spend time these days. When my grandfather was young, his best friend was a rock and a stick ...'
As he was pondering, a hand patted his shoulder. Ben turned around and saw an attractive girl looking at him. "Are you here alone?"
Ben's eyes became alert. 'He opened me up ... Can't make a mistake here ... If I say yes, he may think I'm a weak loser ... Need to find something to look strong ...'
He replied, "I'm alone .. because I killed all my friends in the hunger game scenario ..."
...
"I just want a bar stool" he said as he left the bench in a hurry.
Seeing him go, Ben yelled, "Ha! Joke to you! I'm a winner! I'll soon be a celebrity in the Capitol!"
...
He turned around and took a sip of his ginger ale. 'I have to clean up my stuff ... What did I say? This bad loss ruffled my brain...'
Out of nowhere, the music at the club stopped. DJ installs a new track.
"I found myself in his room~
Feel the fever of my doom~
Falling down through the floor~
I knocked on the devil's door!"
It is the theme song of From Dusk Till Dawn. As it played out, Ben noticed everyone in the room staring in one direction, down the stairs, where his eyes also turned to ...
There stood the sexiest woman Ben had ever seen.
