(Regrettably) The Jumper Jumps

-So this is where everyone jumps?
-Yes, Yes it is.
-And this is where I'm supposed to jump?
-Yes, Yes it is.
-What if I don't?
-Well, just do it and see what happens.
-Do I have to jump?
-Not really but yea.
-What do you mean not really?
-I mean you can but you shouldn't, but do it.
-Ok, so do I jumpt or not?
-Yea you should jump; follow my advice.
-I don't know, you don't sound too convinving.
-Well look at my face.
-Hmm

So I look towards where I "should" jump to.

-What is towards the bottom?
-Find out.
-But you don't know?
-Not really, I just tell people to jump.
-That's strange, why would you do that and not know yourself?
-Ahh, cuz I can.
-Well...
-Come on, you're young and life is about risks. Enjoy it.

So I jumped into the vast emptiness that lead to nowhere. And as I'm falling I position my body to look up. Then I realized I was fooled. Fooled by the devil himself camouflaged as an innocent. The devil laughing, flames engulfing my surroundings, leading to nowhere. There is no hope.

As the devil turns around content with this outcome, I am in front of him. Confronting him. Seeing him eye to eye and NOW I am the one that casts him away from my life. He falls to his own emptiness. The tables have turned, he regrettably looks at me, wishing he had never fooled me.
