Fate. Is a snake evil? Can a truth so strongly felt be the source of all lies? Something of malice, hatred, twisted from darkness? Your arms flail in the void, and you grasp a few strands. They support you, steady you, keep you safe. Finally you see a distant light, and you're illuminated. You see yourself, everything for what it is and your place within it. Then you look down and see you're grasping snakes. Writhing, lying, poisonous, dangerous snakes, black as the darkness they hid within. Can the only light you see be darkness? Is a snake always evil?
