Balance is everything.\n\nThe tightrope compromise between chaos and order a tricky one to [[navigate]].

A day like any other.\n\nYou walk the path of consensus reality in search of sustenance for your physical body.\n\nThere are two cans in the cupboard and you must choose one to eat from.\n<<set $inventory = []>>\n[<img[http://gasstationburrito.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/can-of-food1.jpg][Food1]] [img[http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/3a/4f/3a4fe0930a6859226d608bac8d55b605.jpg?itok=dCrSlZaR][Food2]]

Churning maelstrom to one side, iron-clad prison cell to the other.\n\nLife is the [[dance]] of adjustment tip-toeing between.\n\nYou must not fall. \n\nYou must. not. fall.

Your mind is fogged with doubt.\n<<set $inventory.push(" Chaos")>>\nThis way, that way.

Your hand burns.\n<<set $inventory.push(" Order")>>\nSudden direct pain that over-rides the looping levels of transcendent thought.\n\nYou look down in shock.

The night falls and the moon and stars appear.\n<<set $inventory.push(" Order")>>\nAppear, but they are always here.

You see things others cannot see.\n\nThe paths you walk weave and wend through and past the reality others perceive.\n\nThe veils of time and space, always gossamer thin, part to show you the light behind it all.\n\nYou live in [[this world|world]] yet know this world is only one of many.
