Transcript

Cassette3.png

Artist:

Do you have a name, poet?

Poet:

I was christened without my consent.
I never asked for God. And I never asked for a name. So I will go by Poet.

Artist:

Good.
Then I will go by Artist.
No matter how deep we go, the tunnel never grows dark.

Poet:

Foolish Artist. It grows dark if you shut your eyes.

Artist:

You shut your eyes, Poet, and the tunnel will stay light for me.
<dripping water>

Poet:

Yes, but I will soon fall behind, and without me, you too will lose your way.

Artist:

I will not let you fall behind. Even should you fall blind.

Poet:

Kind words, but I'm not sure I believe them...
<distant scream echoes>
What was that?

Artist:

An unkindness.

Poet:

Dear God, are we descending into Hell?

Artist:

You who rejects God are afraid of Hell?

Poet:

I reject God. But Hell is real. Every fool knows that.
The only hope I have left is to break through Hell to the other side.
Is there anything else we can hope for?
