“Who is at the door?”

“It is merely I.”

“I’ve seen you before.”

“And your eyes don’t lie.”

“What have you come for?
Is it now my time?”

“Nothing of that sort.
You’re doing just fine.
I just came along
to present a gift.”

“So, I’ve done no wrong?
I’ve not gone adrift?”

“Worry not young one.
It’s good I’ve come here.
And after I’m done,
You will have no fear.
You’ll suffer no pain.
Death will not haunt you.”

“I’ll never be slain?”

“If you don’t want to.
Live how you must live.”

“Yes, but what’s the price?”

“Your charge is to give
All of yourself. Twice.
Once, over to Love.
You may never hate.”

“Sounds simple enough.”

“And two, no soulmate.”

“Wait, what? Really? Why?”

“There is much to do
And with one, you die.
So, it’s up to you.”

“Well this kinda sucks.
Now what do I do?
-Price? Oh, twenty bucks?
Nope. Completely screwed.-
You must be trippin’.
There’s no way to win.”

“What’s your decision?”

Yes. Of course I’m in.”
