He laughed as he walked continually into the thick woods. He laughed because there was no other feeling he could feel. His home was a dark and empty place. A place unfit for human life.
Still he walked. He walked as he chuckled and chuckled as he walked.
He heard growling from around a tree.
Oh, please do! He thought as he believed the wild animal was there to consume his corpse
Kleftis kept on. Not caring of the ferocious beast behind him. He stilled giggled as he went.
I'm going mad!
He was going for hours. The day became night as he became weary. But still he walked. He went on even longer. He was determined to find the other end by tonight.
There were still many trees as he decided it was to perilous to keep going. He just sat down and fell to the soft ground.
He woke who knows how long later. It was deep day. He started again on his quest to find the end of the woods.
He began walking again. This time there was no laughter, only determination for the outcome of his journey. Thirst twanged and tempted his dry lips. He said no to his thirst and went on walking.
He repeated this process for days. Each day he became tired more quickly. Finally he gave in to his weakness and pain. He was walking in a slow pace when he found a spring full of water.
He walked towards it and collapsed to its moist bank. He crawled towards the spring and began slurping the cool water.
