Dusk
The sun was setting on the trail ahead.
Rolling plains on all sides, the golden fields of tall grass washed across the hills like foamy surf upon sun-warmed sand.
Blue skies dwelt above with a few long blades of clouds sweeping past the slowly darkening dawn. The air smelled crisp and tasted fresh. Mild winds guided the world to a moment of peace.
What could be better in life than these things?
With the Capital many miles away and your hometown far behind, you know that there is only one way to go.
"Onwards, to Glory!" You proclaim, feeling heroic in the rich golden light.
Life is a mystery.
Live it as such.
