There is something about the sight of children absorbed in a tactical game of skill, wits and intelligence that gives me the creeps.
I imagine them later, older, sitting together again, but this time around a conference table in a boardroom.
Older, the tactics refined and put to other uses, children who never acted the maggot at school plot with cold, dispassionate moves the fate of millions.

Scary, huh? It makes you wonder what will become of them.
They’re tomorrow’s leaders. It’s what will become of the rest of us that worries me.
We’re doomed already.
Certainly looks that way.
Scary indeed. They know that we know. We know they know we’re hapless. Or helpless.
There’s so little compassion in those eyes, so adult. It seems perverse.
Losing innocence of childhood as we age is a bitter reality,
isn’t it?

Yes that’s the truth
