high adventure standing at the entrance of a wall behind you coming slowly through the night and the shuttling footsteps of a blind beggar who will lead you into a harrowing world of darkness and terror listen now as escape brings you Kathleen Heights terrifying story the return of course slowly through the breakwater of the outer harbor most of the 12 passengers were on deck looking north beyond the converging jetties to the modern city of the desert but two of us a man named talk it and myself the Zerta was a destination I didn't know what brought talk it here I didn't really know what brought me here I only knew that I'd look for something all over the world without success I'd look everywhere except the Zerta a shore I checked into the small hotel in the short time later I was part of the early evening crowd on the streets of the desert sorry I didn't notice about your eyes one does not need eyes to perceive through the family no I suppose not your name the air is gone is no no no and the truth is everywhere for all to see if they will but I hope you're right well goodbye and they got me that and I thought I'd find you again at the hotel but they tell me you're not saying hotel North Africa how about joining me there for dinner if you don't have any plan I don't think I have any plans if I do they can catch up with me there don't you think oh yeah yes I guess they can try to explain during dinner maybe the wine was talking maybe me either way talk it seemed interested enough to ask a question I think I understand but have you any idea what you're looking for a reason I'm looking for a place where there's no struggle no struggle for you or anyone I'm 40 years old for a little over half my lifetime I've traveled the world work my way writers and expeditions bummed along on foot work to see in the earth flown fighter planes and freight lines above it I tell you there's only one thing that universal struggle why I suppose that's right but it seems to me we're making a lot of progress in some directions not medicine for example there's a good example they let the money and found cancer waiting for them they inoculate for small parts they find bubonic plague for every achievement that's a struggle waiting I wonder if that progress took it well I I don't know I never thought of it this way you take food clothing and shelter the basic needs worse in some parts of the world people don't have them but even when they do they're a bigger struggle to take their place fear insecurities maybe a beat these things one at a time but you've never got it made while you're fighting against one struggle and others being fed and made strong and it never ends until you die struggling to live funny in a way you come to Bessetta hoping you find a place where there's no struggle I've come here well to get into the struggle I guess I'm opening an import export business it's small and I'm sure full of struggle but I'm not cynical about it or disillusion yet no I don't feel cynical I'm just short on hope I don't see any end in sight research what would you change if it were up to you the struggle show me the place where there's no struggle that's where I want to be I wonder what it would be like yeah if you find it let me know will you if I can I will start getting touch with Tuckett in a few days but if I went back to the streets of Bessetta walking through the fine rain that was falling now I wondered if I'd ever see him again my course took me north along the canal through the modern city that's the ancient Citadel to the entrance of the walled Arab town I passed knowing I knew I was not alone someone was following behind me soon I heard his footsteps at my side we are almost there and they got walking without your cane to leave you I have come to leave you and where through the wall ahead your words have been heard a family you are ready ready for what you have shown me the place where there is no struggle I am come to leave you offend where how do you know what I said you have asked enough questions of life and we go through the wall you're out of your mind look about you a family on all sides there are walls you have come to part ago back there is no way back are you talking about I can't go back you have said the word show me the place through the wall ahead is the perfect place I will leave you there this is crazy you're crazy you're blind you can't leave me any way I said let go of me it swung it they go with all the force in me only to find myself against the wall I slip on the wet pavement or trip I don't know but it was no imaginary wall I'd hit I felt the hard pain of it in the rain beating against my face and then it was over in which I wake and was large large and empty with great windows at the far end and bright sunlight streaming through them no room I'd ever seen before my clothes were no longer damp and there was no pain in me I moved toward the sunlight I'm coming I don't see you come out of the shadows or the light you will find now you can see can you not that's now I see you you seem to know me but I've never seen you before I am caused these you are most welcome yours has been a thought I know I don't understand that beggar old fool he said he was leading me to the perfect place the important thing is that you are here come look through the windows oh that's beautiful valley lakes and fields never seen anything like it it's it is perfect you were in the perfect place because you want to be here you look the world over you witness the struggle you wanted to be free am I am I dead do you feel no no I don't have I feel confused so much I don't understand I have questions you will begin to see the answers for yourself once the processing has begun processing there are things you must give up for perfection in the processing these things will leave you one of them is written in your expression now doubt you cannot doubt perfection and having to and after that you must give up fear and greed will you miss them research no partner there are other things of course whenever you have questions you will find me nearby to answer do you have any more questions no then you are ready my son go out and live in the perfect place you hesitate why well I don't know surely there's nothing to fear from perfection you would not think would you I went out the door and down the path into the perfect place hesitation of fear grew less with each step I turned a short distance away to wave back at zine but the door I walked through was gone and the building the window no sign of some how it seemed unimportant I turned back to the path and walked ahead hello my love hello I am Angela hello Angela you are a sir by love I knew you would be here when I wanted you most you you were expecting you knew I would be here I wanted you take my hand we will walk together won't I think we will my love always will be a lovely time together perfectly lovely Angela was all of beauty all of woman grace and strength and delicacy and she was always at my side as we walk the broad valleys of the perfect place she was my love it was a perfect love this land was all beauty the people were all smiles every need was satisfied there was love and abundance peace and perfection at every hand and there was no struggle no struggle about anything after a time when I felt the need of a friend I found one my friend was laur Angela's brother he loved to see he had a fine schooner for fishing Angela tells me you enjoy fishing research name your fish and I promise you both those of it sounds wonderful I have no preference laur any fighting game fish is fine sport the same is perfect wind is perfect everything we need is a board it's all very easy isn't it for fishing we need wind and sea and fish I was there to see and believe the wind is failing and this must be the spot the best water the best we would not have stopped here if they were not the best nice arrangement well where's the gear the lines are out you're just right go see for yourself so quickly practically jumped out of the deck fish that found our lines fairly flopped into the schooner of its own volition laur had promised me a boatload of fish we had them when Angela medicine for them and there it did no struggle no effort even in lifting the great fish off the lines it was phenomenal rather frightening some days later Angela suggested a deer hunt and with laur we walked through the beautiful countryside through fields toward the wooded hills look ahead my love that's your site oh yes the first shot is all right directly ahead perfect be yes I see perfect dear 30 or 40 of them lined up like targets couldn't miss one if I tried fire research you want to be there they are Angela Angela listen to me don't you see we haven't hunted for deer part of the thrill of hunting is the hunt itself and then the finding of your game matching your wits against his and then if you win you've won something do you understand but you said you wanted to hear and when we finished you said you wanted to know look look if I said I wanted to hunt there instead of the event all the bear I could shoot would be in the sights of my gun and if I said quail or duck the sky overhead has become black with them is that true yes my love that is all true yes yes perfect like all things but that isn't perfect you can't I make you see look look just you and laur go on would you I want to be alone a while of course darling that is perfectly all right with me perfectly and then walked in no direction taught no place inside I was all fury and confusion and something more I don't know why but I was reacting to the constant smile Angela and laur was something like terror and I stopped and lay on the spot of cool green grass to rest and think your question is reason Zing I said I'd be nearby to answer when you needed it's hard to question I just find perfection difficult to understand do you doubt it the perfection no no I've seen it not many perfect things you wanted assurance that there was no struggle here in the first place you'll see no struggle have you no none but you you must see everything the fish the deer they have no fight in them there's no sport no challenge you wanted no struggle you cannot have both struggle and no drug you want the rated existence of the thing men struggled through and died struggling to live I know I your processing will go on reset that's right it will go on there will be no struggle and you will realize that you cannot improve on perfection when I turned to answer Zing he was gone again I knew it would be he was gone but that terror was still with me there was goodness and kindness there was plenty why did I fear it what was his terror my thoughts went to Angela and so we were together again as if nothing other than perfection at that between she took me to a village I hadn't seen before the life there was simple but is it not beautiful here my love is not everything and everyone beautiful Angela what do all the people of this village do how do they live do they work are there jobs to do everyone does what he wants no who tells the field and plant them who builds the homes so many questions always my love and questions about the thing that's me one goes there when one wants something and one finds it the home for there just here what is to build a home nothing to be achieved because all things have been achieved there's no work because all the work has been done that sounds very well does it please you yes I guess it does look the men at the canvases across the way they're painting is that doing something let's have a look lovely painting perfectly lovely I think this one is quite a good landscape but they're just the same they're identical every flower the tree the hill just the same in color and size Angela three men painting pictures and they're each exactly like the others well there is just one perfect landscape of this sort how could it be otherwise there is only one way to be to do to paint and that is perfect and that's just one perfect book because there's just one perfect way to set words down of course my love the perfect way oh no no I wish law were here tell me this perfection is it conformity Angela you wished me here law he's full of questions are just one question law is perfection conformity must everyone think and do an act and write and paint in just one way there is just one perfect way was in didn't say I'd have to give up the things that make me me that I couldn't work toward goals of achievement so I must give up challenge in order to live in the perfect place if you are so different reason Angela what if I should leave you what if I were no longer your love would that be all right with you if that is what you wish perfectly all right darling perfectly you're crazy talk about to be here should see what I've seen it like it's head off at me talk it yeah yeah someone who has a chance to work and dream and set goals for himself and make mistakes honest mistakes gambles to win or lose you can take it I think this talk it must be a very strange man I think this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time I've never seen one man strike another before all right well come on get up let's make a good part of it a perfect fight come on it becomes a peculiar color you won't fight back you won't fight back because there's no struggle here you mentioned this word struggle often is it a good word struggle yes yes I think it is a whole village smiling broadly and waves at me happily I ran and walked and then ran again the mountains surrounding the Great Valley were tall and deep but I had to get through them or around them or over somehow I had to escape the perfect place you have further questions reason just one thing how do I get out of here get out you want to leave the perfect place yeah and I'm leaving and you can't stop me I would not try to stop you if you really want to go here let me show you the way this is no trap well there is one thing yes if you go you can never return that's fine with me in fact that's perfect you'll be going back to the struggle this perfection it's filthy it's vicious it's insidious somehow you prefer the struggle then to this yes the struggle is wrong it shouldn't have to be but we'll work on it every succeeding generation at least there's work to be done and the incentive is there to do it well brother wait till I tell people about this perfect place tell them you found the perfect place tell them about the beauty the perfection about Angela and me tell them you were here you thought that there's no struggle tell them you saw all this and ran with anyone that's formed an answer but no words came and then suddenly there was no zine and no perfect place only the rain beating on my face as I lay at the foot of a high wall and I felt the hard pain in my back and I remember it all the beggar berserker the walled Arab town beyond it couldn't have happened very long before I couldn't blame their long and I remember the bucket was staying at the hotel North Africa and I hurried there to it but it's like it opened the door but it's good heaven what's all the record about I'm sorry I was anxious to find you again I got in a fight in the native quarter it was a mistake I've been lying wet and cold in some back alley for an hour it's research isn't it what research well of course but don't you remember a dinner earlier
