Only a Second or Two by Larner

The Debate

XXXI.  Cue:  Yesterday or tomorrow?

The Debate

          When this began I still had choices, although several I had put off for consideration until I felt more certain....
          More certain of what?
          I still had hope.  I had my innocence, and even ambition.
          The quest took my innocence, my health, my peace of mind.

          There is no going back.

          Why do I think there is a choice?  There is only tomorrow, after all--the choice to live or die--tomorrow...

today.

          So--stay or go?  Stay with my life ending as abruptly as my ring finger, or go and at least--maybe--the chance to find my hope again?
