your pet is dying and it's your birthday

"nothing makes you hungrier or more tired than grief. when my sister died, god rest her soul, i ate my way through four platefuls of sandwiches in one sitting and slept 'round the clock."
"did it make you feel better?"
"not much, but it passed the time."

it's hard to find ways to wile away the hours when despair threatens to overtake you. but you must go on. we all do. find a way to keep going. find a way to stave off despair.

your pet is dying and it's your birthday is a game for one player. you will need a sheet of paper, a writing implement, a coin or similar-sized token, and a six sided die.

content warning: nothing in this game is described in graphic detail, but if you don't want to contemplate tiptoeing the line between holding yourself together and falling apart to despair, this game is not for you.
