I looked back, back into the ethereal featureless face of somebody, or something that I did not recognise and yet, I knew intimately.
The ghost of my past.
Thoughts that needed no spoken words to transmit their meanings drifted into my mind, and yet my consciousness could not discern between them and the verbal equivalent thereof.
"Please. You have to trust me."
Scepticism. "Why?"
"Because you have been down there. You know that road. You know exactly where it ends."
I hesitated.
"And I know that's not where you want to be."
It was right, of course.
I knew how this would all end, in pain and suffering.
No matter how much I might enjoy berating myself for my own shortcomings and failures, there had to be some limit to the extent my self-confidence and dignity could withstand further abuse.
Yet to give in would be to admit defeat, and to admit defeat without the proverbial fight to the death would be worse than meek submission. In a way.
What do I do?
In my mind, however, I had already made my decision. I simply had not come to terms with it yet.
Even if sometimes, we have to be steady...
I shook off the presence in my mind.
And give up the thing we want the most.
I stood before the doorway between light and dark.
