Brevity opens up a multitude of opportunities. A dark forest, is it real forest or one in the imagination? If I am lost in a forest, I sincerely hope they will find me and if I hear them, I would make sure I called out to them. This is probably way off your thinking, but hey it's the best I can do when I am half asleep and I am looking for an optimistic outcome rather than the other sort.

Fair enough.

When you're not half asleep you should give this another go. It's an interesting thought exercise.

(it's potentially depressing, on a deeply disturbing level)

Mystery! Well, if they will kill me...I don't know what I'll do if i see them? Who is 'they'? And do you mean kill as in literally kill or the sarcastic kill? I'm making this too ethical haha but I don't think i have the nerve or will to kill anything or anybody... well except a mosquito... so if we are talking about a mosquito in this case... sure! I'll kill it... but they fly so fast I don't think I'll be able to!... your poem is short but its mysterious, a question af the end that has multiple answers. Interesting!! Thanks for sharing!

It gets a lot darker if you would like to keep going. There are no sides to be taken or bias's to have at a certain point all our problems kinda merge into the the same thing. (but this gets stranger if you let me keep going....)

[Aura]

Keep going with it!

[Davidgeo]

.... you have to know already how depressing this gets. It's f*****g soul crushing.

[Aura]

Is this based on something real? Keep on going, I'd like to know what is in store, to properly answer that question.

[Davidgeo]

If you could control time in a way no one else understood, how would you use that ability?

[Davidgeo]

If you could steal without consequence, would you still do it?

[Aura]

Oh ethical questions. For the first one, if i could control time, I think it would be for us to go back in time, i don't think i'd freeze it but I'd like to experience the past instead of reading about it.... for the second question... I don't know, I think in some way shape or form there will undoubtedly be comsequences, perhaps thd biggest one will be my guilt for stealing. So no, i don't think i would

[Davidgeo]

Mmmmm.... I love rational answers so much. (to be fair, we all do the same things when it gets super greasy)

[Aura]

Lol yes we do, rationalize questions that are difficult to answer, yet when put in the situation, all rationality is tossed out the window.

[Davidgeo]

Perhaps rationality is arbitrary.

[Aura]

Yeah maybe just dependant on the situation.

[Davidgeo]

It's very disturbing to thing about reality like that. I'm just glad I'll be dead before the really bizarre s**t starts to happen.
