Sometimes you find yourself wondering... wondering as to why your here. Standing at the edge of the cliff you look down, regreting all the people you never really told how you really felt about them.You feel the fresh morning breeze faintly flow through your hands. The sun always looks so beautiful in the morning, I alway love sitting up here to look down at the town begining to wake up before I go and cycle off to the train station. Getting the wooden tram before I go to work in one of the big industrial city's. It's funny, how things just seem to fit together. This place was attempt to be my sanctuary my escape from the outside world, I've lived here all my life and this is how im repaid... Maybe I was better off in the outside world. I have... Well soon had a stable job for a big corporation like most others in this abomination of a town, with that single track as our life line. Connecting us to the outside world, otherwise we'd be trapped. Trapped out own bubble, only being able to look up at the sky and watch a day pass. As our life clock ticks down to our demise.
"Upon a winters night the wolf will come, dusk till dawn he will remain on the mountain up in the sky. Overlooking the cities walls he sits, watching the unforeseeable development of mankind. Expanding to hearts content destroying, the world we used to know back when we were but simple apes. We do not care for the other creatures only ourself's, we will not stop even if it means building into the the mountains up in the sky." This is one of my favourite poems the author maybe unknown. But their work speaks nothing but the truth of what our world has come too, removing any one from our life that gets in the way. Slowly Turning against each other just to live... some life then.
I will miss this place, this run down town effortlessly trying to re-join society. Just past one of the many water falls we have diving into the town due north, is my own special little project. To some it might seem small and even though already having a job, my little bookshop is my pride and joy. However, this shop is different unlike many others it contains the stories of many people so big it becomes a labyrinth but with a more easier exit that shines above the wooden oak pine door and like a marathon the stool where you can stop and have a nice warm beverage before diving back into this wonderous world. Preferring to read the childish comics of super hero's, I only tend to read the big books unless it involves the horror and gore of death how convenient my demise will someday involve this, but we'll save that for a few more paragraphs down.
By Enjoying the comfort of others, as well as the peace and tranquillity it has to offer in the picturesque spot I chose. Mainly run by my dearest friend Beth during the week days I often tend to help during the weekends. When the town is full of people off work and the children, with a weekend to waste. We offer them a place to catch up on the latest news and adventures of the outside world.
Half way now the sun rising ever so closer, with half the town in it light and the rest in darkness with the 11 O'clock train slowly appearing out of the tunnel. It's a sad thing really. A sad thing that this will be the last sight I see, I know we've only just met in the figment of my mind but its my time to go you see for he watching me. I hope to see you soon but for now its my time to leave.
Unfortunately, there's no other better way to put this... today is my last day. Over the course of the past few months something has changed, this once picturesque town has fallen. Deeper than I last described it, darkness has fallen and the innocent have fallen. "I known your their, stop hiding it in the shadows for once and show yourself." In the dark lurked a shadow, a shadow of great power. They were not a force to be reasoned with, who you say this person is becomes an impossible question to answer. But just know this an old friendship never truly dies, through hatred or happiness. just know that when your time comes, there's no take backs.
