The Soul Walker

Tell me again why we're doing this?

John, Soul ticked, Where's your sense of adventure? A journey is its own reward.

I scoffed, There better be cake. I demand a cake after all the effort of putting up with you.

He feigned insult. I'll have you know that most people are delighted to speak to me.

I laughed; I am most people!

Oh pish posh, he countered. Now stop sulking and let's get going; you have a message to deliver.

I wondered how many people would care for the letter I carry. Would I be able to deliver my message, or would I get lost in these ill-forsaken roads of destiny? What a funny word that is. And how cruel it is to…

I winced away from the memory as I set about walking without thinking. Of course… where was I?

John? Soul's familiar voice echoed through my skull…

Yes… that's how we started it.
