WINNER 1: ShaunAllan


Nowhere is somewhere.

A long, featureless road, lacking even a nearby electricity pylon for company, should be as close to abandoned as it could be. It was miles to the first conclave of houses yearning to be a village but, really, little more than a huddle.

I'd taken this route for that reason. To be nowhere.

I was tired. Weakened to the point of danger. Food and fluid were no sustenance when I'd given everything away. Almost all of me.

I should have been stronger, in spirit or resolve. I should said no. Walked away. But, I couldn't.

I'm not religious. I exclaim His name in times of exasperation or ecstasy, but am unsure of His existence – or any other deities. My cousin believed we were a brief light in the void, extinguished all too quickly. I couldn't say he was right, but I couldn't say he was wrong.
