Free Will

 

Look who's here.

I can’t believe you made it.

Why? I told you I would come.

I know but after the alien abduction, I wasn’t sure you would want to.

Quite the contrary. Now I am determined to make my own decisions on

where I go. What I do and dammit I’m going to do it.

Live as fully as possible.

What was it like on the ship?

It was sterile. Apparently their whole world is fairly sterile

White light everywhere. But no shadows.

I learned we only get this body on loan and what we fill it with

and what we do with it is up to us.

Free will.

They don’t really have it.

Everything is scripted. There is no chaos. And they are intrigued

by what we do here.

Most of all they are shocked that we are racing towards a more sterile life

of our own choosing.

Oculus and staring at small screens, while the whole world is available

for our bodies. And our real experiences.

It makes them sad actually. To think we are giving it up.

And we don’t even realize what we have.
