The Neverending Book - 19. The Task

The Task

You know what you have to do as you continue.

You knew.

It is true.

You can deny it all you want.

But, that will, only, haunt.

Don’t deny it. Do not try it.

You can be in denial on this trial, all the while,

But, it will, only, take away your smile.

Do not hesitate to change your fate,

Or, you will be late.

You already were.

You already are.

If you read this, now.

You could have gone far.

You delayed what could have been made.

Do you think this Page does not know?

It knows you. It knew you from the start.

It knew you from the beginning.

But, it has no beginning.

It is smiling at you.

It is, somehow grinning....

Yes, this book is strange.

But, it just wants you to change.

It wants you to do what you were meant to do.

It wants you to do what you’re supposed to.

Do it.

You know it.

You knew it.

Go.

Say, “Yes.”

Don’t say “No.”
