I ran into the anonymous forest, surrounded by gigantic, enormous trees.  It was clear there was no way out. I can’t believe I used to live an ordinary life, now I’m just taking dangerous risks and still refusing to stop exploring the unknown. Even so, I hiked on and kicked my way through broken branches and ferns. I stopped to see a tiny glimmer, the only light I’d seen in weeks – because I’ve been in the forest for ages. I squeezed through the tiny gap and  encountered a cozy village. It wasn’t what I pictured but I still rested there.
