Slug

"Where are you going"?

Slug: Up

"Why"?

Slug: "It’s The only way."

"How do you know that? Surely it’s harder to go upthan down"?

Slug: "Yes it is"

"Then why make all that effort to go up"?

Slug: "Have you seen the view from up there? Have you experienced being nearer to all that is. It may take me a lifetime to get there or maybe more but I want to see it."

"But It may take you a lifetime, as you said"!

Slug: "Yes but what a wonderful time I’ll have onthe way"!
