Plato's Proposition (3) : A Freewrite

"Ramses spoke with trepidation," Plato remarked, "it appears you are struggling with this choice and require some leeway to make it." He went on, "this is no ordinary proposal, you can't take it lightly."

Plato nodded, comprehending the seriousness of Ramses' predicament. "Certainly, Ramses. Take as long as you need. Just recall, openings such as this occur seldom. When you're ready, contact me and we'll go over the particulars."

As Ramses departed from Plato's high rise apartment that evening, he was inundated with a cascade of complicated feelings. He had been presented with a beguiling offer, one that could propel him to affluence. But it also entailed plunging into the obscure depths of the criminal plane, a realm that he had consistently shied away from.

In the aftermath, Ramses wrestled with his conscience, indecisive between the prospects of a prosperous life and the intimidation of abasing his beliefs. The decision he faced was not merely about currency; it was about what kind of individual he wished to be, the heritage he wanted to bequeath to his descendants, and the moral thresholds he was willing to transgress.
