I walked down the winding road. My jumpsuit on my back, hands cold in my pockets. I would be lying if I say I didn't expect this, it was a shock nevertheless. The fierce cold winds, ripped through my clothes, I was running out of options.

I looked up, the man stood right in front of me. "You know why I'm here" he said. I looked at the strange color that crossed over his heart. "Am I out of time?" I asked. He nodded, I could see the rosy color brush his cheeks. 

I nodded in silence. We seemed to have a silent understanding, he knew my choice. He just wanted to here me say it out loud. "I'm going left, it's my only option" I said. He shook his head "No, you only choose to believe that there's one way. Look between the trees, you might find something worth the while"

I took off my jumpsuit. The crisp air greeting me like an unwanted friend. "May we meet again, Josh" I shook his hand, handing him my oversized coat. "I'll come for you Tyler, I promise" he said.

I turned and took a deep breathe. One step, two steps, three steps... I kept walking, walking till  the looming walls of DEMA overthrew me. The Bishops met me at the gate, welcoming me as if I was a lost soul. I still don't know who I am, I can only hope this was the right choice.

They lead me towards the center. I didn't fail to notice ones hand on the base of my back. The temptation to turn and run was strong, but I had do finish this, not only for me but for everyone else.
