Of Future and Past

In my left hand I hold your past, but in my right hand I hold the glowing orb of your future. I will crush one, but the one that is left is the one you will enter. Once there, you will spend an eternity in this new world, but let me tell you that nothing is as it seems. The one you enter will not be entirely of truth either... For there are still more choices after the first one and each one will draw you closer towards the hellish ways of the world. So I ask you my traveler, which do you choose? Do you believe that life is death or do you believe that death is the only way to life? Do you believe that I hold the one true key to your future? Do you believe the lies the devil and the angel whisper in your ears at night? Will you travel the future knowing there is little hope you will have the one thing you crave? Do you dare choose to revert back to the safe haven of hell from which you were born? Choose wisely, for this choice will haunt you for the rest of your puny life.

I choose... I... I... Don't know... I can't just... I can't leave her... But, I would rather die... Than to do her wrong... I shall not steal her future heart to doom us both... I choose... The future... I shall not forsake her and if I doom myself to hell, then so be it. For, I will not let her follow, or fall back within the grasp of our hell born society.

His left hand closes and shatters the essence of the past. You forget what had just happened and you know nothing from this point on. There is no past anymore and everything you do, you will not remember unless it is pain. The green and purplish gases flow out of the crushed orb. Some of them seem to flow to the ground, the others flow towards you and to some other location. You cannot remember whom they could flow to, but if you did it would most likely be her... The right orb begins to glow. Bright flames emerge in small flickers. The edges begin to darken as if a shadow of some sorts is slowly swallowing it. The figure moves the orb in front of him. He becomes the shadow that slowly swallows the orb. The flames die down as the darkness invades the entire world around you. The orb grows bigger as it closes in on you. You fall to your knees before it. Dark shades of every color begins to flow from the center to grab you. They darken further and almost become black when they touch you. They feel cold and evil at first, but then you forget everything but fear and pain. The world you knew has left you behind and now you are pulled into the middle of pure evil chaos.
