Paco's Great Adventure in the Land of El Paso

The Open Road

"I'm going to be free if I keep running. Just don't stop running. If I don't stop running, I will be free. Just keep running Paco, everything will be okay."

Paco's legs were spasing out and he did his best to ignore them and keep on running.

He had shortly found himself out in the big open world, just as he intended he was going to see it.

"I'm free, there's noone around who can tell me what to do because I'm all by myself out here. This barren open world, filled with all sorts of opportunities. I'm shocked that I have managed to get this far. I should've been caught by now but I haven't. Wow, I'm really all alone now."

The sand was dancing with the wind and the sky was still very bright, Paco walked down this old lonely road. He decided to lay down for a bit and just take in the midnight air.

"This must be what it feels like to be free, I expected nothig less of it. All this world to be explored."

Bushes and grass rustling with the wind as the moon has reached its peak in the sky, this was exhilarating for Paco. It was so much for him to take in.

"I should probably keep on going, I see a highway right this little hill. I just gotta make sure I stay off on the side."

Cars passing by at high speeds, all while one lone chihuahua is cruising at his own pace.

"All these cars and not a single dog with them, as far as I can see but still. They must've left them home, stuck in their own prisons. I don't wanna think about that now, not right after I had just left home."

With all the rustling happening along side Paco's walking, in the distance there was a slight crunch.

Paco was well alert and decided to stop and look around. No more cars were driving on the road for right now and all the wind had slowly died down.

A soft step after another, Paco is preparing himself for what's to come.

He looks around frantically and is getting more scared and scared by not knowing what it is.

With each step getting closer and closer, Paco's heart started to beat faster.

He couldn't think, the anxiety of a possible attacker was slowly overtaking Paco's mindset.

But then,

The walking had stopped for a brief moment.

Paco in that moment decided to look behind him and face whatever was there, and take him head on, or at least attempt to.

To Paco's surprise, it was not a tall ferocious beast of the desert. It was a very tiny lizard of the land.

"Oh my god, I thought you were a huge animal hunter. For a minute, I thought that would be the end for me!" Said Paco.

"I didn't mean to scare you there bud. I was just roaming around here and I ended up seeing you and wanted to say hi! Oh, my name's Bob by the way!" Replied Bob

"Hey there Bob, I'm Paco. I'm uh lets say fairly new to this lifestyle. I ran away from home."

"Wanna talk about it in a walk?"

"Sure why not?"
