What's a Hit Point?

(True Story) So... I... Was workin' on a game Just another day 'Til the Sound Director Dropped by And blew me away Said he kept dying on the very first fight A rat with 1 hit point Had ruined his night I blinked... I stared... Disbelief set in... Surely a joke? No... His face was grim I said, "The rat only has 1 hit point and will die from one attack" The next words from his mouth Made me start to crack He asked, "What's a hit point?" Oh man... My world was jacked Reality shattered At a loss For how to react Time stood still My mind started to freeze A fellow dev How could this be?! The rat had one hit point Just a single touch Yet here he stood Saying it’s too much Dodge or strike Move or flee No sense for damage Apparently My reality broken From what he should have known The rest of my work day Was completely blown Hard to believe The rat was killing him We make games for a living Where have you been? A dev A peer A kindred soul Yet here he was Not in the know "What's a hit point?" There's just no way Man... No.... Just no way... Still feels like a real life glitch To this day Maybe it's unfair I sprung from the womb with dice in hand Maybe my reaction was obvious He never asked me about gameplay again "...But the rat only has one... just one... one... What's a hit point?... What's a hit point?... What's... a... hit...point?"
