The Id Verses Superego

As the third quarter closed, the Superego pulled out an interesting move, electing to introduce their parental values into the game. This took the Id by surprise, as this individual had clearly been affected by significant childhood trauma due in large part to the parents' complete and utter lack of regard for physical boundaries. The Superego took a slight lead at 85-81 with just 3:00 to go in the psychodynamic battle.

Then, the Id decided to introduce a new strategy or their own, if you can say that anything the Id does is based on strategy-substituting other carnal hungers for sexual desire: The Id was hungry! And nobody - not even serotonin - wants to mess with the Id when the Id is hungry for a big juicy burger. The Ego tried to employ primary process and even secondary process to keep the game at a civil level, but the Id was just too hungry to stop in any sense. It took the ball up and down the court, sometimes for no apparent reason, throwing the Superego's sense of rationality into chaos. While the Id only managed to score the necessary five points to tie the game - with two dunks, one in which the Id shoved the opposing player, but fearing losing touch with reality, the Ego was awarded a free throw - they did it in style, maintaining possession for all but three seconds, in which the Superego cuddled up with the ball at center court attempting to cry.
