Philosophy of Choice [Monday | Period 1]

"Choose," Ronan said. Behind him, in the Danger Shop created hallway, were two doors, identical save for a word on each: "yes" on one and "no" on the other.

Stepping back, Ronan gestured at the doors. "Choose," he repeated.

[OCD up!]

On the other side of the door, Sparkle would find two more doors. ... Marked with familiar signs.

"Choose," came Ronan's voice, although he was nowhere to be seen.

"Um, duh," Sparkle said, to that voice that couldn't be seen, and he went right on through the door with the guy on it.

He had no interest in that other door, okay?

You get... more doors, Sparkle!

Will you walk through "Istanbul" or "Constantinople"?

Sparkle made a bit of a face at the next bunch of doors.

"Let me guess," he ventured, looking at the ceiling, because clearly that was where Ronan was right now, sure. "I go through here, and there's gonna be two more doors?"

Besides. Everyone knew that it was Istanbul, not Constantinople.

Funny enough, through Istanbul there were two more doors! "New York" and "New Amsterdam" this time.

Ronan may possibly have thought he was funny.

Sparkle was now kind of staring at the doors. And tilting his head. And then turning around to see if he was allowed to backpedal and take the other door, or if he was stuck for this, now that he'd chosen this one.

Why he'd done that, I can't say. Sparkle just liked it better that way.

In fact, the door he'd come through opened at his touch, revealing a meadow.

Well done, Sparkle.
