My life story in short (in analogies)

Life had sent me a funnel, and thinking it would lead into an elixir of happiness I jumped in it, but actually it was an atrocious tornado which suddenly took me away, mutilated me awfully and then threw me out at the battlefield, where I've constantly been wounded and as soon as the pain would start fading away, I'd hear new shots and soon the wounds area would grow...

Or, in other words: Like a pinball arcade life spreads its arms. I go towards them, but it moves them away...I end up in hole like the ball, and the tokens are too expensive for me to buy some more...
