7. i simply wanted to know why everyone is playing this stupid candy game with the ugly font.
an innocent curiosity.
8. so I started playing.
(And obviously this is what I looked like.)
9. at first my candy crush exploration was just a fling.
we kept it casual.
and hung out when we had some time to spare.
10. Then things started to move to the next level(s).
i was playing during my favourite shows.
and ignoring my cat.
(ok well if i had a cat, i would have ignored him.)
12. and then I’d count down the 18:02 minutes until the next heart came.
13. in a moment of weakness, when i actually considered
buying a bundle of imaginary hearts
it hit me:
genius
1. I had an addiction
2. the strategy behind candy crush saga is pure
14. it’s free.
(but you quickly find yourself amassing a “practical” list of
reasons why buying a lollipop hammer is a good idea.)
15. (until you find yourself waiting for a new life, which
feels akin to swimming a mile through mud.)
it’s quick.
16. it’s easy.
(but tricky enough that when you beat a tough
level you want nothing more than to post it for
all of your facebook friends to see.
seriously.)
