Help when needed

It's cold dark and the air is heavy with the stench of rotting corpses. I walk down the hall and turn right. I have no idea why I am here other than to walk the halls. I look at the first corpse i see, then the second, Its all my friends and family. I keep walking tears rolling off my face from the anguish of being alone. I walk into a room he turns around and smiles wickedly and spreads his arms out wide to show his work. I run and try to escape, but when i find another room the other turns around tears running down his face him on the cross. I ask why this happened and he says open your eye. My eyes are open why does he say this. He says your actual eyes are open but your mental ones are not open them and see. I try and try then finally i do. It is the same place only everyone is alive and smiling hugging me for passing the test. The wicked one is in the corner scowling at me while the good one smiles and welcomes me into his arms.
