As I continue walking this path before me, I know that I must keep going. There is a light up ahead which seems to offer a glimmer of hope in this darkness that has engulfed me. I feel a shadowy hand stroking my heart, tugging it downwards, coercing me to a comforting despair. As I walk towards the light, it feels as though the light is forever fading, and even though I move closer, the light moves ever further...
... ... ... ... my walk falters, winding down to a stumble... if i stop, the darkness will claim me and I will be lost forever, so there is nothing else for me to do, but to keep on shuffling toward that tiny glimmer and hope it becomes more than that...
