I wander alone
through the woods.
Sweat forming on my brow
in the still air.
Dusk setting in.
A chill creeps up my spine
as I see a sudden flash.
I feel the air
being sucked around me
as the sound of lightning
rips through the earth.
Three portals appear,
blocking my path.
Each tempting me
with its own promise.
Frozen with fear,
yet filled with awe.
I urge myself towards
the wonders untold.
I picture myself as if
I were in a fantasy story.
But which to choose?
I can’t decide.
