200 Drabble Challenge #17: Two Roads.

I find myself at the fork of two roads at a loss about which way to turn.

Do I take the smooth familiar road, or should I chance the rocky, dirt track? The second choice is riskier but there are surprises and adventure waiting if I’m prepared to stay on the path.

Do I follow my head or my heart? Is there a penalty for choosing one direction over the other? Where is the point of no return?

I know one thing; lingering with one foot on each isn’t the answer. Sooner or later I must be brave and choose.

Thanks for reading. This drabble was inspired by one of my favourite songs released this month: ‘Tomorrow, Today’ by the JJ Project. I highly recommend taking a look at this beautiful music video and the lyrics. The song explores the impact that our uncertain decisions have upon our future in a lovely and interesting way.

If you enjoyed this story, please share your appreciation with a round of applause.
