The world was white. Not the white of snow or clouds, but the white of a blank page.

The Man in the Grey Suit lived by the Rule of the Turn. The Rule was simple: *Always turn right. Never look back. Never stop.* He had been following the Rule for as long as he could remember. He believed that the Rule was the only thing separating him from the void.

He walked through the white corridors, his footsteps echoing in a perfect, rhythmic beat. He was a man of absolute precision. His suit was pressed, his hair was combed, and his mind was a clock. He believed that if he followed the Rule perfectly, he would eventually reach the Center, where the Great Architect would reward him with the Truth.

Years passed. The Man in the Grey Suit became a master of the right turn. He could calculate the exact curvature of the walls, the precise timing of the intersections. He felt a sense of profound superiority over the others he occasionally saw—the "Drifters," who turned left or walked in straight lines, eventually disappearing into the white mist.

"I am the only one who understands the logic," he whispered to himself. "The Rule is the way."

One day, he reached a junction that didn't exist in his calculations. There were three paths: a right turn, a left turn, and a straight path.

He turned right, as the Rule demanded. But the corridor led him back to where he had started.

He turned right again. And again. And again.

For the first time in his existence, the Rule failed. He was trapped in a perfect, infinite loop. He spent a decade walking the same circle, his suit fraying, his mind cracking. He began to scream at the white walls, demanding to know why the logic had betrayed him.

Then, in a moment of absolute exhaustion, he stopped.

He sat down on the white floor and, for the first time in his life, he did the unthinkable. He looked back.

He saw the path he had taken—a long, winding line of right turns that had formed a giant, mocking spiral. He looked at the left turn he had ignored for a lifetime. He looked at the straight path that led directly to the horizon.

He realized that the Rule had not been a guide; it had been a blindfold. The "logic" he had worshipped was merely a habit of fear.

The Man in the Grey Suit stood up. He didn't turn right. He didn't turn left. He simply stepped off the path and walked straight into the white, leaving the Rule behind. He didn't know where he was going, and for the first time, he was perfectly happy.
