Self-Destruction by The C

INSTRUCTIONS: If You Could Destroy Your Life, How Would You Do It

We aren't talking suicide...

1. Picture your arch nemisis. If you don't have an arch nemisis picture the cunning villian in any decent thrillers [say Spanish Prisoner].

2. Put yourself in their place. If they wanted to destroy your life how would they do it.

3. After thinking carefully devise blueprint, to-do list (happy face sticker for ANYONE who uses the Franklin Covey priority system), comic book, self assembly guide, how to guide.

4. Go after the things you care about most.

Example:

I am a single mother in law school.

As a starting point, my plan as my own nemisis would involve getting CPS called on me and losing my son, setting me up to get arrested for drug smuggling and making it so I could not take the bar exam. Etc. Try to find a way to tare down everything that makes you, you. Is it possible?

Warning: The mental experience and the project that goes with it can be really mentally taxing.

I've always believed that the best (worst?) way to destroy someone's life is slowly.

Over the course of weeks, everyone I care about would leave my life. This wouldn't happen because of fights or something similar, they would simply not be in my life at all anymore. I would most likely then attempt to get close to other people, but as I got closer, they would disappear as well.

Upon seeing this happening to everyone, I'd probably attempt to escape reality by playing video games and reading books. Instead of getting real human contact, I would try and connect with the characters. This is, of course, a lot harder to control. In some way, I would have to lose the ability to either use these things, or connect with them.

By this point, I'd most likely be bordering on insanity. The final step would be to take away what I believe is the only true thing a man always has, the ability to end his own life. Put me in a situation in which I am forced to live against any will of my own to the contrary and you will have completely broken and destroyed by body, mind and soul.

This would of course happen all over the course of at least a year, giving me time to reflect on what has happened.

Thats so basic though...its not cunning or witty at all. It lacks the "Evil Arch-nemesis-ness" that the task seeks, it would have to be a unique plot, a masterful setup, and a truly diabolical execution. All culminating in a single perfect moment of utter despair, fear and eternal suffering.
