She walked out the front door of her cabin and stepped into the cold, gray air. She took this lonesome walk every “night”. Though in such a place as this, there is no night. There is no day. Only a gray mist haunting the air. This was her time. Her moment to truly be alone and go where she felt most comfortable outside the pages of a book. Away from her sister and the village people she had nothing in common with, she could be her full self. She understood she didn’t belong with them. Or with people in general.

His Search
His eyes glowed as he watched the village from atop the staggering precipice of the valley. With what he was, he had no problem seeing through the insufferable mist; nor had he any fear of the deadly creatures living in the caverns of the valley wall. In fact, they feared him. Finally, his time had come. He found what he had been looking for, in the perfect hiding place of course. It had taken a little over two decades. It may prove to be more of a challenge once he set foot on the village ground. He doubted it.

Arrested by Necessity
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.
