Theatre of Dreams

"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” Yet, somehow we always do, our curiosity forever killing the infernal cat!

They promised us riches, fame and glory...they said that our ghosts would be put to rest, no more would we be haunted by our sense of failure, lack of self-worth, underachievement and self-loathing.

All of this would be obliterated if we were only brave enough to open the forbidden door. The door to the Theatre of fulfilled Dreams, where all of our wishes would...well! No one actually knows.

I had nothing to lose. I had lost it all on a toss of the dice, a drumroll of a distant drummer calling from the abyss. I had tried, just as hard as everyone else, yet I watched from the shadows as accolade after accolade was showered upon them. Leaving me nothing but crumbs and scraps from their table.

I no longer cared what was behind that door. What was one more roll of the hand of fate.

I turned the lock. Opened the door and stepped in.

As the door to Hell slammed shut behind me..."Hell", I laughed maniacally. How is this any different from the other side. At least here I know what to expect.

The Theatre of dreams, of so called life...PLAYS ON!
