Marco's Heart



You find yourself in a bright white, circular room. It's nearly empty; too bare, almost clinically so. But the bareness of it means that what is visible here stands out:

A podium in the center, where a familiar figure sits, head buried in his hands. Three paths running from the podium to three different spots near the edges of the room - not corners; circles don't have corners - where three doors leading seemingly nowhere stand with no regard for their complete lack of structural support.

It doesn't take you long to figure out where you are, does it? You only have to decide where to start.

[he sits down on the floor, taking a moment to deal with the overwhelming wave of dizziness that suddenly comes]

Is there more?

I am. Only . . . taking a moment.

[he seems exhausted, but still determined]

Then the third? I should go back there?

[weakly] That would be nice.

I thought so. You'd mentioned her.

[he attempts a smile]

Which way, my dear? Or do you just will me there?
