IgnorITYS: A Tale of the Stupid and Smart.

Once upon a time, in a land far away from here, lived a giant on top a of a hill.
He oversaw the villages and the cities and all that stood still.
He was bigger than everyone. He yelled louder than all of them.
The giant was in charge of clouds, the rains, and the wind.
He laughed at whoever was below him, people who thought they could dethrone him.
And though he sounds mean, he was all anyone wanted to be.
He stood 10 feet tall.
Ate whatever was in sight.
He was sure he would never fall.
Not without a fight.
It would take something, a movement larger than him to take him down.
There was nothing of his size in this remote, little town.
Well you see, the giant had ruled for what seemed like ages.
Year after year he stood atop that hill.
He always had one message, no matter how cruel he ruled, the citizen’s would not be happy without him. They wouldn’t be guided without him. OO
Well, after a while he began to get lazy.
He stopped looking for details.
And that’s when the chaos started brewing.
People began doing what they wanted.
Rules didn’t apply anymore.
He only took his eyes off them for a second, but the town had created the most beautiful plan ever created.
Take him down they would, take him down they would.
They surrounded the hills around him.
They camped out on his edges for what seemed like months.
And he knew they were there. But he never did anything about them.
Well, you see, the plan was to kill him. Take him down with all their might.
“Anything goes.”
So, all the townies attacked. The giant awoke to a view of an empty city and a mountain full of townies running towards him.
He didn’t fright, but neither would he fight.
And the first person to reach him, he grabbed.
He held him in his hand and threw his fist in the air and the townies freaked.
They were scared of what he would do to their loved one or all of them.
He put him back down and walked away.
He just didn’t care anymore.
You see, the giant knew the whole time what was cooking up around him.
And he knew that he could not be on top forever.
And the man he grabbed asked him one question?
“Why didn’t you kill me? or eat me? or any of us?”
And the giant didn’t respond.
He let the townies live the way they wanted. He set them free.
And he walked away beyond the horizon.
He was looking for something new.
You see, he had noticed all the details and the potential uprising, he just didn’t care to do anything about it.
As for the townies, they visited other cities and valleys and villages.
They mingle with the others who have been oppressed by the giant or other giants.
But they weren’t as happy without the giant atop his hill.
“I told you so,” the giant said.
