Puzzle This

Once you know you can’t unknow

Who doesn’t love a good puzzle? In my lifetime, all 17 years, I’ve put together over 500 puzzles. I’m so enamored with puzzles that I order them from any and everywhere that I can find. “THANK GOD” for the internet. I can just about have any puzzle I want. I even got my mom to buy me a subscription to PuzzleThis.com.

The subscription provides me with a new puzzle every week, a real puzzle that they actually send you in the mail. Now, that’s old school just the way I like it.

Each puzzle is a scene of a person, place or thing. What I love most about Puzzle This is that even when I finish the puzzle I have no idea who, where or what it is.

Here’s the key. Once you finish 100 puzzles, you get a detailed letter from the site that tells you the meaning of the puzzles. That excites me more than anything as I’m eager to learn about all of them.

Funny thing is, I had to give them so much information about myself, my mom almost decided against it. Parent’s today worry about everything. I told her as she signed the site disclosure that nothing is private anymore, so please just sign it.

I have already completed 95 puzzles and will have the rest finished within the next couple of months. After I finish each puzzle I hang it on my wall in random places. So as you can imagine, the puzzles are almost covering my entire room. I don’t mind it as much as my parents and siblings do. I think they make great wall art.

Today, I finished the final puzzle. I can’t believe that I accomplished such an amazing feat. Now I just need to take a picture of it and upload it to the Puzzle This website and wait for my letter. As I’m waiting, I begin to look closely at each puzzle again. I’ve seen them everyday, but today they look a little different, a bit familiar.

That’s a teenager for you, you see something that’s a little too much and your imagination gets the best of you. 20 minutes later and I get an email alert. My letter has finally come.

Dear Puzzler,

Thanks for completing all of the puzzles in your set. Now take a close look at each one of them. You don’t recognize the first puzzle because it’s an image of the day you were born. This is what it looked like outside of your mother’s womb as she prayed for your safe delivery.

Puzzles 2–20 are snapshots of your life for the past 17 years. Places you’ve been, people who’ve impressed both positivel and negative things upon you and memories that you forgot all too quickly.

Puzzles 21–50 are the images of your future, take a good look at each one, the darker puzzles are bad times that you’ll encounter and the lighter puzzles are some of the best times.

I can’t give you a timeline as I would be giving away too much.

Puzzles 51–90 are representations of love, no matter where it comes from and where you are. These puzzles will help you make the right decisions when the time comes. Love has a way of changing what you know to be true into what you hope is true. Come back to these puzzles often. They will guide you in the right direct.

Now, the most important puzzles are 90–100. They represent life and death. You must decide it you really want to dive into them. Your death day is in one of those images, that’s why you don’t recognize it. You may be young, old or somewhere in between. The clues are all there within the puzzles.

One final word, dear puzzler. If you are up to the final challenge, all 100 puzzles put together in the right order will show you exactly how your life will play out.

Are you up for the challenge? Remember, once you know you can’t unknow.

Thanks for your subscription,

Sincerely,

Mrs. Dark Light
