Tunnel Vision (Chapter 4)

Stepping back into the darkness

There he found himself again, back in that tunnel he once knew.  Charlie was nervous, yet he felt confident with his understanding of the light, and the light he was holding with him. 
As he got further into the tunnel he began to see people.  He approached the first person he came to; it was a young woman.  As she turned to him, he immediately said to her ‘You’re going the wrong way!’
The woman was quite taken aback by this comment, but then responded, ‘I don’t think I am!’
‘You are, trust me! I’ve seen the light, look behind you!’
‘No thank you, I think I’ll carry on my own way.’
‘What makes you believe this is the right way?’
‘Look for yourself.’
Charlie moved his candle and saw that ahead of this woman was a long line of people, each person following the next.
‘Everyone else is going that way,’ she said.
‘Well where does the line lead?’
‘I don’t know exactly, but there are so many following the line, there must be something great at the end.  If you listen carefully you can sometimes hear some cheering... so it must be good!’
Charlie then took his candle and walked further down this long line of people.
