THE RIVER OF UNMINDFULNESS
INTO THE CAVE.
The sun is setting as you slide into the cave entrance
You can hear something pass outside
Loudly
Your eyes struggle to adjust
Feeling with your hands
You discover another message written across the wall
“THE WATER HERE MAKES YOU FORGET
THAT’S JUST WHAT I AIM TO DO
-RR”
You can hear it now as it comes into dim view
A stream flowing into the darkness.
You surmise it feeds back to the surface
Where you woke up
Could a person escape
By floating down into the darkness?
Meanwhile
The noise outside has quieted
It is silent
And so you face a decision
