I can't really comprehend why you do care.

What do you define as "it"?

Because I don't trust it and I'll never trust it, never ever ever ever.

Its all strung and I won't be safe until its completely gone because everyone lies and it will never be unstrung.

I am not gonna live that way... I can leave or stay but I'll never ever ever feel safe.

Until the problem is gone and the problem won't be gone until its all gone.

The beast system I guess.

They would be a part of the beast system.

But it would be all that wickeness outside my home.

From the low level corruption all the way to the top.

That is why I'll never feel safe... never... that is why I care... I care because I'll never be safe...

"It" is technology?

Technology would be a part of it yeah...

But I would say it is the technology and the people behind the technology.

So it is the system, they are the people and technology would be the tool I suppose...

Did you expect to feel safe?
Who of us feels safe?
There is no security.
It's all an illusion.
You can either accept that and give it up or live in fear for the rest of your life.
Looks like you've chosen option B.

That's why I can't think you're real.

But you can't imply the beast system and not expect a reply...

Would it be faith or foolish to see the Antichrist give a mark and just take it and have faith that you can still have an afterlife?

No you can't...

You can not take that risk...

If you imply that my freewill is in the balance then I can't ignore... I can never ignore...

Everyone has a choice to be in the system...

If I ignore my choice of freewill now... what if I find I don't have a freewill later?

If I sign off on that wild card now... what happens if I wake up possessed with nothing later.

Do you really think it's a literal mark?
Why do you not think we are not already marked?

What do you think "free will" is?

There is no free-will.
You and I and everyone have been conditioned since birth, so there can be no free-will.
Everything has come from someone else's beliefs/opinions.
You may have adopted them, but they're not yours.
You think you're choosing freely, but in reality others have made the choice for you by lifelong spoon feeding.

Here's the second 100 word story, but I'm 11 words over the limit, and I'm not sure which ones to cut.
[The Latin title is intentional. If need be, I can translate it.]

Memento Ludo
“I know many games we can play. Dad taught me chess, checkers, and Go.” The girl said, a genuinely cheerful smile fixed on her face.
She sat down on the end of her sister’s bed: a nonchalant gesture under any other circumstances.
Her sister did not respond. She did not seem to be able to, but the girl continued talking regardless.
“How about skip rope? If either of us trips, the other wins. Will you play?” It was a simple question, not a challenge, though the intent was still there.
She turned towards the hooded and cloaked figure in the corner of the room.
“I accept.” Death said calmly, and smiled.

I would leave out the description of death and say simply, "she turned towards the figure in the corner, because the description gives it away.
The answer, then, (the final sentence) would have more impact.

As soon as I read "hooded and cloaked" I knew it was death.

Also, I would consider not capitalizing death because it feels borrowed.

Oh, right. <Discworld.> But wouldn't it have to be capitalized because it's sort of the beginning of a sentence?

Here's the revised version: [My mum helped.]

Memento Ludo
“I know many games. Dad taught me chess, checkers, Go.” The girl said, a genuinely cheerful smile fixed on her face. “Let’s play.”
She sat down on her sister’s bed: a nonchalant gesture under any other circumstances.
Her sister did not respond. She did not seem to be able to, but the girl continued talking regardless.
“How about skip rope? If either of us trips, the other wins. Will you play?” It was a simple question, not a challenge.

Very interesting, though I don't completely understand it. My only pointer is that lines of dialogue should be formatted with a comma at the end and then the start of the dialogue tag not capitalized. So like this: “I know many games. Dad taught me chess, checkers, Go," the girl said, a genuinely cheerful smile fixed on her face.
