The story

The story unfolds but not in the way it ought to.

nothing is right and for a second I wonder if I am dreaming

but I feel too alive to be dreaming

I know how the story should go and how it should end

but it isn't doing what I want it to

it's going completely off on its own.

do I follow this unfamiliar story and hope the end is good

or do I stick with the story I know and am comfortable with?

This I cannot answer now because the unknown scares me

I wish I could cheat and skip to the end and find out what happens

for that would make my story choice much easier

but I am not allowed to do that.

maybe the story is unfolding exactly the way it is supposed to
