《Textes de Littérature anglaise》The final choice
Advertisement
The earth is overcrowded, rations are getting lower and lower, so the government has decided on a drastic measure: at 18, each citizen must choose between 2 boxes, one of which has a medal that will allow the citizen to stay alive, in the other, a snake with deadly venom.
MC - Here I finally am, what might be my final choice. Who got the stupid idea to overcrowd the planet ?! Now every eighteen years old has to decide which box to choose. Life or death. Man, I really want to live though... Who's gonna feed my puppy if I die ?!
1st - Helloo, it's meeeeee mario !!!! The voice in your head ! I bet you missed me . Anyhow, whatcha got there ? oooohhhh the final choice... Gotdamn, I didn't think it was gonna come so fast... Well, my condolences.
2nd - Heyyy, I'm there too, don't tell him to give up ! It would mean we die too you dumbass ! We have to help her in her choice !!
MC - Oh nooo... not you two again...
2nd - Hey if you're gonna be a bitch about it we'll let you do it
1st - yeah I didn't like your tone, it was really mean :(
MC - No please don't leave me alone !!! Ok I take back what I said it's nice having you there in what might be my final moments...
2nd - Yeah that's better.
1st - Yeah ! Better ! Well, where were we?
MC - Well, you see those two boxes in front of me ? In one of them is a medal that will grant me the access to continue to live, and in the other...
2nd - What this weakling is trying to say is that in the second box is a deadass whole snake that can take you out in only one tiny bite. Oooh, let me tell you, that's my favourite animal...

1st - Hey don't tell that to her !! She's gonna cry and then it's gonna make ME cry and I didn't plan on crying today...
MC - Well, first of all, I think we should stop arguing and focus on the main topic : Which box should we choose.
1st - I don't like choices... Oh I know !!! We should play a game !! I have the perfect one for that kind of situation, it goes like this : "Eenie meenie miney mo, catch a tiger by the toe-
2nd (interrupting 1st) - Stop it ! we're not gonna play a stupid game to decide of a life or death choice !!! It has to be serious, we need to look closer at the boxes, maybe one is badly isolated and we can hear the snake through it ! We need silence..
MC - Yeah you're right ! MC examinates the boxes with great interest for a few seconds, 2nd watching over his shoulder with a magnifying glass, 1st humming the music of "eenie meenie miney mo"
1st - I know !!!! It's this one !!!
2nd - and how exactly would you know such a thing ?
1st - Well I told you ! The game !
MC - This is serious !! It's literally to choose if I can live or if I have to die ! You can't choose that with a game ! Do I have to remind you that if I die, you die too ! You're just in my head, a stupid hallucination!
2nd - I know you might be about to die and all, but you can't be that mean to us, it's not fair, we just want to help you, I know 1st is dumb and all but still.
1st - Hey I'm not dumb, I'm just simple, huge difference...
2nd - That's w hat dumb people say...
1st- If i'm dumb then what are you !?

MC - Wait, while you were arguing I think I found something! The smell ! A snake and a medal don't have the same smell !! I just have to smell both boxes and the one that smells the most foul must be the snake !!
1st - Woah, that's such a great idea !! I'm so proud of you ! mutters to himself (I had the same idea he just said it first)
MC starts to smell both boxes, 2nd laughs in the background
2nd - I'm sorry to break it to you guys, but if those boxes are soundproof, I highly doubt that you could smell anything that would be inside of them, pure knowledge. I guess I'm just smarter than anyone else here... Don't worry, I still like you guys hehe, it boosts my ego
1st - Well, could your ego have had the idea to put one hand on each box to feel if something is moving inside it? That way we could probably know in which box the snake is.
2nd - Don't insult my ego, it's fragile..
1st - Poor little one haha 2nd looks at 1st in a very furious way
MC - But if it's the only choice, we have to put your ego in the box to figure out what is exactly inside
2nd - Haha so funny... I mean I have to admit that it was actually funny but still ...
1st - Still what !?
2nd- Still at one point we'll have to choose a box... So touch those boxes now and try to feel if the snake is moving in any of them. Because at the end of the day, I want us to live.
MC - But you said that those boxes were soundproof. How do I feel?
1st - We have to try, at least just try, please, for life. We don't have time
MC touches the boxes, trying to feel something
MC - Nothing...
1st and 2nd - What do you mean nothing ? Jinx ! I said jinx first ! No me !
MC - At the end of the day, I have to make a choice, and only luck can save me.
MC reaches for a box, puts her hand in one
1st - Huuuuuuuuhhhh ?! What do you feel !!!!
2nd - Please don't tell me it's death
MC - There's... Nothing ? OUCH gets bitten by the snake IT'S THE SNAKE !!!! NOOOOOO
1st and 2nd panicking - Oh no, no no no no nooooooooo whyyyyy
MC falls in agony - It was nice knowing you two, I'm sorry it had to end like that
MC dies, the two voices disappear (we just go under the table)
