open up your eyes

It is your worst nightmare coming true.

The doctor tells you…”We were afraid it was cancer. It, in fact is.”

Stage 4.

The cancer is now set in your bones.

Killing your entire body.

He tells you… “It could be days, months, years. We don’t know.”

So you wait for death.

Months go by and the pain is unbearable.

You go back to the doctor over and over.

He gives you pain killers.

But it doesn’t kill the pain.

It only numbs it.

That pain never subsides.

This sickness is now a constant.

It has taken over you.

Consumed you.

“take this. it will help with the pain”

“do this. it will make you feel better”

none of it works.

this cancer will not go away.

nothing can fix it.

it’s killing you.

What if – someone walked up to you with a syringe and said

“In this, is the cure to your disease.”

Would you choose:

A. The numbing pain killers.

B. The cure.

Who would be stupid enough to keep taking numbing pain killers when the cure is right in front of them?
