stood there

I used to be a bit like a straight line once. It used to hurt less. The other directions flew into me. It dindn't bother me. I just kept them....just in case.....but didn't consider them much. They wouldn't be able to change even a corner of my main line. Nothing would've change it. Circles and other sort of insignificant little lines were always trying to add on each other and then all this stuff was always growing up in number and dangers not reaching to distract my course. So far. That's when the minotaur finally came. He's always been in the same situation. He knew all. He knew better than me, what adding lines could do to you, when you are on your main line and don't have to distract. He suddenly stopped crying. Suddenly got unblocked. Got used to it. Minotaur knew all the things I should've known. And for a while pretended to be me. He substituted me. We pretended to be each other for some few hours. Or few days, I don't remember, but he wanted to show me how to act in a case of a sudden adding of another confusing line to my labyrinth. I could exchange it for mines and could get completely lost in the middle of my path to follow. Confusing everyhing. He said, my only job consisted in following one only line. The main one. Forgetting about the minor ones. Learn to ignore them. And even when I'm cursed to stay in that labyrinth forever, it would've been only mine and none other's that I'm lost in! This is not a bad thing at all. He just stood there, condemned to live and die. He stood there dying and reborning, surrounded by a crowd, thinking him to be me. No one would've understood he died. No one else would've ever known he's been reborned while dying. No one would've ever known he wasn't me while I was him. I just stood there. Stood there staring at the crowd. I stood watching Minotaur lying down.
I now knew what was I supposed to do from now on. He wasn't scared. I wasn't scared at least not any more. I'm not.
