[bodytext] => An opening through the doorway, whose light compels me to proceed, but where? Confusion runs through my head like a doe trapped in the deepest hollows of a raging fire. I know not how to control it. It ruins me. That serpent who in days of old tormented them who innocently obeyed, he follows me closely. Why? Am I a threat? He plots against me though I know him not. Nevertheless, I aimlessly follow. The crowd it mesmerizes me. The fruit it taunts me. So appealing, as it softly whispers my name in the calming breeze of it's temptuous breath. "Come, desire rules you" and so I do. Led by the strings of my minds desires I, the "Servant", serve amiss, knowingly. Here I stand torn between desire and compulsion, confusion and knowledge, at the opening to the doorway whose light compels me to proceed. But which do I choose?

Of course, your editor would agree with Daniel. You haven't posted anything in a while...still writing?
