We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
A PVIM Microfiction Challenge

This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
And yet, I bring a facet of understanding of everything.
I, somehow merely nothing, am yet still meaningful.
This road is endless and narrow. But with each step forward I can create the highest of skyscrapers. Limited to the path, limitless to the universe. What a strange contradiction.
