i like cold showers in the summer heat

hello, reger.

hello, fate.

how are you today?

i'm fine. what are you doing here?

it's time. time for your destiny.

my destiny?

yes. you have to leave right now.

leave?

yes. it is time for your destiny. you have to leave and begin your journey.

i can't leave. all my stuff is here. my friends are here. the woman i love is here. my life is here.

no, it's time to go. none of that stuff matters. this is your destiny.

i can't leave. on a whim? from some voice in my head? no, i'm staying here. i like it here. i'm not leaving.

you can say that if you want.

i'll do it if i want.

someday you will have no choice. someday you will have to follow fate. someday you will have to complete your destiny.

not today.

destiny is inevitable.



could you just up and do what you thought you had to do? what fate told you had to be done? could you really do it at gutcheck time? could your destiny pull you away from the shelter of a life you have built up around yourself? could you wander the earth like cain in kung fu?

i don't know if i would listen or not.
