Decisiveness

You are asleep you assume and everything is dark; save for the deep azure glow that seems to emanate from somewhere in the distance. You have an important task to do, but no one has told you what it is. The world seems to be at a standstill, holding its breath waiting for you to make a decision. Everyone is watching expectantly, assuming that you know what to do. 

Are you ready?

You begin to walk in this dark, an unforgiving place. Your steps get heavier as you trudge on and you pass door after door. Some lead to your memories, others to nightmares, or at you least think so. None of them are what you want though so you keep going. It's as if the rest of eternity rides on this one decision, perhaps it does but you don't know. The universe has been spinning towards this one moment. Everything will either go up in flames, or the real journey will begin.

Are you ready?

It seems like an awful lot of weight on one persons shoulders, but you are the only one who can bear it. You pass familiar faces as you walk the corridors of your mind, each one watching your steps apprehensively. Maybe the next one will be your last, but you don't understand. So they all wait. You see one particular door, the one with the glow. You feel yourself breathe in deeply as you swing the door open.

Are you ready?

A blinding light fills your vision, and you know this is it. You'll have to decide whatever it is everyone is waiting for whether you like it or not. As your vision clears you see an angel robed in spotless white, standing next to you. Its eyes are filled with an ageless wisdom, and an expectant smile is on its face. You feel your heart lurch, as it motions out towards an object in the distance. It looks at you quizzically and you feel rather then hear the impression of a question in its gaze.

Are you ready?

 You begin to walk towards the object but realize you are walking on water. You walk confidently, all is serene as you look around you. But the scene changes, and the endless white scene is gone. It's a raging sea, and you look behind you at the angel. In its place is a boat, and in front of you is Jesus. You are afraid, but now you realize this is it. You begin to sink and it's time to make a decision  

Are you ready?
