[ WP ] Unbeknownst to you , someone has been orchestrating your entire life , setting it up for one large-scale event . By chance , you miss a crucial moment prepared for you , when they appear to you , and explain the repercussion of your mistake , and why you were selected .

“ Did my mom put you up to this? ” 
 
 “ What? No. Listen, ” said the tall stranger with the dark glasses. “ Do you remember that time when you fell off the monkey bars and hit your head when you were eight and a stranger carried you back to your parents? ” 
 
 “ Yes, but— “ 
 
 “ That was us, ” said the stranger. “ You may have died that day if you hadn ’ t been given prompt medical attention. ” 
 
 “ So you ’ re telling me— “ 
 
 “ I ’ m telling you that we have been there every moment of your life, watching, guiding you to the destiny that you are meant for. ” 
 
 “ And because I didn ’ t— “ 
 
 “ There ’ s only so much we can do. We can not force you to do anything, only guide. And because you did not fulfill your duties on this day, you have set off a chain reaction in your life that will echo into the future and taint your decisions and actions for years to come. ” 
 
 “ All because I— “ 
 
 “ But there ’ s still hope, ” said the stranger. “ The destiny I have laid out before you, the future you are meant to have, oh Promised One, can still happen. You must not only right the wrongs you have committed this morning, but you must work hard every day to stay on the Good Path and achieve what you were always meant to achieve. ” 
 
 “ And you ’ re sure my mom didn ’ t put you up to this? ” 
 
 “ I assure you I ’ ve never met your mother. But I ’ ll tell you who I have met, ” said the stranger. “ I ’ ve met you, in the future. I ’ ve met two versions of you. Your dereliction has caused a split in reality, a rift that has spawned two possible futures. In one version of the future, you are a worthless, lazy, know-nothing bum who spends his days sitting on the curb doing nothing. In the other version, you are a brave leader, a visionary, a man who all the world looks up to and who will guide them through the dark times to come, the one you were always meant to be, the Promised One. ” 
 
 “ Fine, fine, I ’ ll take care of it, I ’ ll fix things, please just stop with all this nonsense. ” 
 
 “ Very well, Promised One. We will be watching you, so please do not forget your duties ever again. It could have tragic consequences. ” 
 
 And ever since then, I ’ ve never forgotten to take out the trash when my mom asks me to.
