"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end."
- Ursula K. Le Guin
The last of the shuttles are leaving. But for a young man among many, the world is still too big and he is still too small.
Earth is dying. More radiation than resources, more people than places to put them, and more chance of survival anywhere but here. Arthur has a choice to make, but he won't make it until he's seen what he's really leaving behind.

The Secenario Game
Our past is straight, like a river flowing from upstream. Whenever there is a choice, the river splits into two, signifying the possible decisions. Just because you chose one, does it mean that the other path does not exist? Is there ever a 'correct' answer? This is what I like to call a 'Scenario Game', where everyone's answer would be different. I would love to read your comments, who you would choose and why you chose them, so don't be afraid to abuse the comment button down below. If you enjoyed, please feel free to give me some feedback. I might do more if there is enough demand. Enjoy. "You always have a choice, no matter what. Can you choose the correct one?"Complete

Journey: Into The Never-ending Way
Why does one travel from a well known neighborhood to another where the outcome of the visit is not yet understood? I could name the streets and places in my neighborhood. There was a well defined map in my head that used comfortable explanations for what to expect. Then, everything changed. I drove up the hill, parked the car in a familiar place. When I walked into the house all the furniture was the same. Yet, when I sat beside him everything I knew went away. My mind was empty, only able to engage in superficial talk. I was afraid of his cancer. I didn't know what to say or how to help. I was lost in the whole sorry business. I gave him what comfort my presence was good for and, he gracefully accepted it like a brother would. Behind the warmest smile I could draw up was a deserted beach, waves of questions washing against my feet. A great ocean met the horizon and disappeared somewhere beyond where eyes could take a mind. Where would the questions take me? Where do you start such a quest?Complete
