back to the first part
why do I run?
What do I seek?
Isn''t this all pointless.?
Its pointless right?
Do I seek myself?
Do I seek ''something''?
Or is it a person? A place ?
I don''t know.
But I run.
I don''t know.
But I searched.
"Bang" for the first time in forever. I felt physical pain.
I heard a sound. I heard I touched I smelt I felt a wall.
I know it. What I want resides beyond this.
My body knows it.
My legs arms and head smashing itself against the wall.
Seemingly to want to get out.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
My head went.
Again and again.
Then, a crack appeared. And for the first time in forever. I saw light.
Desperately I jumped on the little bit of warmth there is present as my arms and legs moved faster and faster.
Smashing
Hitting
Digging
Clawing
Against the wall.
"Bang"
I came out.
Into the light. Surrounded by skeletons of various shapes and sizes, I came out.
What happened here?
Who did this?
None of that matters.
I cried as I kneeled against the gloriousness of light itself.
.....
As it appears, I was stuck in a ravine. Slowly, I clawed against the wall.
Slowly.
Slowly.
I made my way out.
....
"Tak tak tak" my footsteps finally echoed in the forest full of life.
There a young man in his twenties saw me.
He kneeled down.
He cried.
"Why are you crying Paul?" A women comforted the man by his side.
He does not reply. And he continues to shed his tears.
My heart ached.
For some reason, witnessing a grown man cry caused my heart to ache.
But I carried on.
Moving through the forest.
I arrived at a house above a hill.
.....
...
There I saw a middle aged women with brown hair.
Emotions weld up inside of me.
What was this?
I didn''t know.
And as her hand cradled her child who just came out of the house.
Something inside me broke.
..
I don''t know what.
Wwhy?
Why?
WHY?
Do I cry?
Why does it hurt so?
The women approached me.
Her eyes too in tears.
Yet without hearing her speak, all my energy in my body went towards my lips.
A crooked voice. Not used in many years came out.
"I see."
I muttered towards her .
I turned my back, and headed off towards where my legs could carry me.

I found myself in a silent forest.
My one eye bleading. My tattered body moved towards a place I sensed life.
Through the bushes. I saw a group of youths on cotton beds.
Instinctively, I shouted "RUN"
Why?
I don''t know.
There I saw a group of three young youths. My heart tingled for reasons unknown.
With all my being, I wished dearly for their survival.
Then, a group of beasts appeared before me.
That was when, I truly could lay down to rest.
