When home is gone (2)


That stairway? It only goes one way. You can choose to go down, but God knows what’s waiting in the darkness. Maybe staying on this rickety platform will be fine. You have no supplies, but maybe the energy from the universe will suffice. Who are you kidding? No one becomes a hero by waiting on a rickety platform. That’s the damsel in distress. Is that what you are?
Write your own story. Stand up, look around. You are not forsaken. Look down, close your eyes. Can you hear anything? Can you smell anything? Pish posh! You sit back down and helplessly make yourself comfortable on the rickety platform again.
Just one more day, you say as you close your eyes. Just one more day.
