All Up To You.

They clinked their glasses. Ready to take mouthfuls of the drink from the gods.

The bartender wiped one of the glasses quickly and placed it back on the counter. ‘‘What’ll it be, M’lady?’’

She stared at the glass and then grabbed the bottle to her right, raising it in the air, ‘‘Drinks on me, for every being present here! Tonight, we drink and feast like there’s no tomorrow.’’

The crowd in the pub all cheered and some started singing praises to the young lady.

She bowed her head and smiled. Then slowly looked at a stranger walking to past her. They sat in the corner watching her drink to her hearts content.

When several of the crowd started leaving, she scanned the pub to see if the stranger was still watching her. She got up from her seat and waltzed to the side of the front door.

The stranger was not going to let her escape this time. She failed to walk in a straight path. Almost falling onto the slippery icy ground.

She heard footsteps coming nearer to her side. ‘‘Who are you?’’

She gasped seeing the stranger take a blade and raise it at her. The cloaked figure plunged the blade into her chest. ‘‘Your time giving the humans alcohol is over.’’

As soon as she removed the blade from her chest, she transformed from her human form into a being with a crown made out of a grapevine sticking around the forehead. The stranger removed her cloak shook her head & said, ‘‘I should have warned you— drinking all that alcohol is bad- even for you~ Bacchus.’’

She moved her hood back over her head & said to herself, ’’Knowing these humans, they’ll find another way of having and even producing more alcohol even with the god of wine now taken care of. Why do they do this to themselves? Do they not see how it affects them, on all levels?

‘‘Eh, Bacchus knew exactly what he was doing when he introduced them to their own doom. They can make their choice to either stay away from it, or let it kill them from the inside.’’
