you take small steps your whole life; cautious, unassuming, until one day there isn’t any room for a careful existence anymore. there is only room for chaos, which will eventually lead to your inevitable end.
larger steps don’t help. they just bring you closer and closer until that white light that people talk about is right in front of you. you grab at it, jump, yell, and in the end you just stand. waiting. and somehow you return back to the start: cautious, unassuming.
“can you hear me?” “daddy, i love you.” “i miss you.”
until the white light engulfs you.
