Choices

I listened intently what she had to say. For once, I kept my ignorance at bay, and listened to the offer with complete attention. After all, my life depended upon it. Death isn’t what I fear- I fear the consequence if I denied this choice. The guilt- ridden thoughts of denying myself the right to join the most notorious, evil, sadistic empire that struck fear into the hardiest men.

These… phantoms had already taken the liberty to proclaim me dead to the world, and were offering me my life, in exchange for my services to their Empire. They had executed the fastest Breakout in history, to free me- 20 minutes and every living soul on the station dead. Something even the Organization could not manage. Maybe it was time to move on. Or was this all part of a Greater plan Destiny had in store for me?

Even with my arms were bleeding profusely, I lifted my body off the ground, and stood up tall, and looked Dark Blossom, eye to eye, and after a moment’s hesitation, extended my hand to shake hers. Bringing my own face near hers, I whispered softly into her ear.

“Thanks for breaking me out, but my allegiances lie elsewhere.


Dropping to my knees onto the floor, blood slowly trickling down my arms and onto the floor, my body keeled over sideways and i fell over, unconscious. It felt like an era passed, and all the while i was passing out, the thought that i may have made one of the most stupid choices of my life kept flashing before me... I denied myself from being part of the dread Phantom Empire.
