When

There before you sits a creature, ugly as pie, and what do you do? Save it from the debris, of course, and send it to the safe land.

Before time permits you to observe, you are pushed to act by a force so strong that it overtakes your brain, causing the bridges and stairways within to shift, thus ending at new doors, so you save this creature. It is now in your debt, or since it doesn't understand debt, nothing. You could command it if you had the skill, but the skill alludes you, so you just sit there and watch it walk toward the land you so wanted to reach.

The free land that your brothers and sisters discussed among each other when they thought your weren't listening lies there, right before your fading eyes, but now you are forced still by the continuance of kindness that spears at your heart until it begins to bleed and cease to beat. You fall to the ground, face still looking up at the vanishing creature disappearing into the horizon, beyond which lies what should've been your destination.

You die.

What's the lesson hear today, children? I'll let you decide.
