Remember those books

"Choose Your Own Adventure"?

You would read some pages

And come to a forced decision fork

And had to choose from two options

And each choice

Led to a different page

A different storyline for you to read

A different ending

Sometimes shocking

Sometimes fun

As a kid I would often go back

To the decision points in the book

And make a different choice

And read the alternative storylines

And see where that choice led.

But today it kinda feels like

We collectively chose a nasty storyline

And because we are not kids anymore

Rather than follow the dictates of the book

Someone else's pre-written storyline

What if we throw out the book?

And write our own story?
