The Fire

Visions of the treasure swirl in your head, with glory, fame, pride, and family lurking in the back of your mind as well. You walk toward the image of gold coins, jewels, and other lucrative riches. You brave the bitter cold of the darkness battering on your skin. It's all worth it, you think to yourself.

Countless minutes have passed as you trudge toward the treasure. The pile of treasure has not seemed to have gotten any closer. The image does not look to be any bigger than it did when you began this walk.

You wonder whether you should continue walking toward the treasure or to turn back to the light instead.
