Plan B (vi)

It’s the big red button encased in protective glass labeled “BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.” Well metaphorically speaking at least, it’s all in the head after all. For some, the fact that such a button exists is unnerving enough in itself. Whilst for others it can be oddly reassuring knowing that it’s always there should Plan A fail (assuming of course there even was a Plan A to begin with, after all Plan B would be Plan A if there was no Plan A no?) But alas I stray, for the temptation is ever present to break that fragile piece of glass and smash down the button in fervorous despair. Though on those brightest days it is all but forgotten, fraying the mind as it nibbles gently round the edge of consciousness. And in darkest hour there lies but that one button, glowing in solitary glory as it beckons forth to me. To realize that such choice exists has probably turned me down roads most others would not understand. Whether I have the will, desire, or perhaps even nerve to exercise that button, well that in itself is another story I’m not ready yet to tell.
