Guildenstern: Our names shouted in a certain dawn...a message...a summons...There must have been a moment where we could have said no. But somehow we missed it. Rosen-? Guil-? Well, we'll know better next time. Now you see me, now you-

I float through the water with my feet in front. The sky is a purple color and the water empties beneath me.
Falling. Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallling.
All the lights in the world go out and darkness plagues the earth. A simple lightbulb. OUT. A simple headlight. OUT. A strobe light. OUT. A search light. OUT. A flashlight. OUT.
Darkness. Around. Just darkness. There is no feeling. Just darkness.
Light the candle. Light the way.
The next moment they spend together is definitely going to be the best. Perhaps...as if the sky had opened up and a light beam struck the two and made them realize that they were just pawns in an ultimate game they cannot win.
Because isn't that all life is? A game? A guessing game, in the end, that can't be won. But why stop guessing? Isn't that half the fun? Figuring out the answer on your own with your own evidence and your own means and your own devices and your own plot structures? Why stop what might be considered the greatest achievement homo sapiens will ever achieve?
Because it isn't worth it.
You'll never know the answer.
You won't.
So...guess away.
At least we have that ability. We can draw our own conclusions.
POW!
The sky closes.
