Okay so there was two choices left and right one was a postitive and the other was a negative that was seen as a better positive.
The orb slowly starts to circle the dude “I want you to choose between two paths. One for the good and one for the best its all on what your instinct is telling you to go with. Therefore don’t listen to the heart nor mind but what comes first.”
The dude backs ups a step and rubs his chin repetitively “I don’t know sounds pretty suspicio-”
The orb flies over to the dudes face really fast “did I mention that there are two choices? All you have to do is listen to the words I speak then pick what sticks out without thinking about it. Make sense?”
“Uh… sure I guess but how do I know this isn’t some kind of reality t.v. show like survivor or big brother?”
The orb grows a little impatient “it’s not! Don’t think of such tedious thoughts remember don’t listen to the heart nor mind.”
“What about the soul?”
“Damnit… Yes, yes the soul counts too don’t listen to that is there anything else before we begin?”
“Nah man I’m good, go ahead.”
The orb floats up in the branches and hides itself from the dudes eye sight, there was nothing to see but mainly lots and lots of tree branches. There was a long dead silence and there was no interaction of noise like all of the motion around dropped, as if time stopped. The dude was wondering what the deal was then before he spoke he heard the orb start to talk again but more deeper and a little louder that it echoed through the for woods.
“There are two paths to choose from that will determine the rest of your destiny for all that you want to desire though you don’t think on the choices. The paths are two directions the first one is left and that is filled with nothing but true happiness though it’s always raining everyday. The other path is right and that leads to trues happiness but a dark place to spend the rest of one’s life. Both paths have what you’re looking for allowing you to become successful in both ways but you can only have one to choose. The one that has not been chosen will vanish and will leave your memory for what was told to you, so what do you choose?”
The orb quiets down and awaits the answer the dude looks up shocked and wide eyed not feeling like this was easy but he came to a decision. He looked around to both the left and right paths and then said
“you know what screw this I’m just going to go straight because I see the applesauce up ahead. So good luck with the next person that takes this way in search of something dude.”
“No wait did I mention that you will win a secret priz-”
“Yeah sure what ever I’m out of here and I’ll admit you were pretty trippy looking but yeah later.”
The orb becomes depressed and tries every option it had left to convince the dude but the dude’s presence vanished into the trees. The orb thought to itself “screw him there’s other people to screw with though I can’t determine one’s life.” The orb flew off into the woods waiting for it’s next target which was a hundred years until another human being was seen by it.
The end?
