this was equal parts self-help book, mythos retelling, and straight poeticism. with an added twist at the end. every time i read this story it becomes more poignant. something i didn't know i needed until i read it and re-read it.

You stand at the mouth of your own cave, looking out over your own kingdom. You step off the cliff when you feel like it, and you spread your wings and soar.

This was just awesome.
