Past or Future?

Past or Future?

“Where does this question of you?”
Where does this come from? Mean it you?

Yes, this is right”, said Master Satan
What needs to be chosen? Tell me!

“Do not shout.”

“I need your opinion first, student
I am listening. This is an examination.”

Past or future?
Not a question

“Then?
Answer!”

Goal

“Great answer!
Perfect!”

The past is past. dead
Present? Quagmire
Past. The future

Passed

The goal is independent
Not from the past, present, or next time

Bye life!

This
Past
