The Choice



You’re luckier than most.
Why’s that?
Because I’m giving you a choice.
It isn’t much of a choice.
If I made it one way then you wouldn’t know the difference.
So why can’t you?
Why can’t I what?
Make it one way.
Because then you wouldn’t learn.
What am I supposed to learn?
It depends on your decision.
Can I choose not to make a choice?
What do you mean?
Can you choose for me?
No.
Why not?
It wouldn’t work.
I don’t understand.
It’s simple; either A or B.
Is there a right choice?
No.
Is there a wrong choice?
No.
So why do I need to choose?
The choice is a step. The only way to move forward.
What if I choose not to?
Then you don’t move forward.
Can I move backward?
No.
Can I just stay here?
No.
So then what happens?
I’d rather not say.
Can you tell me what’s at the end?
I can’t.
Can’t or won’t?
Can’t. Just because I know your beginning, doesn’t mean I know your end.
Why?
Because it’s your choice.
Do you know which I will choose?
Yes.
Can you tell me?
No.
Why not?
Because then it won’t be your choice.
You said before I was lucky.
You are.
Because I have a choice.
That’s right.
And others don’t get that choice.
Yes.
Why don’t they?
They aren’t ready.
And I am?
Yes.
I don’t feel ready.
No one ever does.
Is that supposed to comfort me?
Does it?
I’m not sure.
You need to choose now.
Can you tell me the next step at least?
What do you mean?
After I’ve made the choice.
Yes.
And neither choice is wrong?
Correct.
Why is this important then?
That’s the next step.
What do you mean?
The next step is finding out why your choice is important.
Oh.
Have you made your choice?
Yes.
Are you ready?
Yes.
