"Behold my Egoism."
The air and the wind.
At these times, he could move away from his problems, and forget everything.
At this every moment, he was free, and unrestricted, as if the chains that locked him on the floor were removed.
A true deliverance, he would say.
And when he landed on the hard ground, he couldn't wait to be up again, aching for this emotion, this feeling.

Up. Above. At the top.

"What's your name."
He jumped, but this time, just because he was terrified of the unexpected voice behind him.
