It’s just a theory. One minute it makes sense. The next, it doesn’t.

If right, everything will change for the better. But if wrong, those that follow me could be doomed.

I’ll test it. I must. Nobody can know. But how can I, unnoticed? Tonight after dark. No, tomorrow hiding in plain sight.

It’s too much of a risk. I can’t.

Pull yourself together. Stop doubting yourself. It’s good, it is!

Or is it? 

I don’t know. It’s just a theory.
