ROCKING VESSEL
Rocking atop the deep blue, it floats.
Waves crash into its sides, rocking everything, from side to side, however
it could be empty.
If the vessel is empty, it will float on practically forever.
However, if loaded, it may sink to the deepest, darkest depths. Where nothing is recoverable; where nothing can live.
The catch...
If it remains empty,
the vessel will be worthless.
Transporting nothing, wandering
the ocean till the waves deteriorate its wooded sides, and consume the vessel, to the darkest depths.
So, why not take the risk?
The results are the same, one path, just takes longer!
So, load your vessel and set sail.
