Outdated

It was an early morning of September 9 , 2019. The sun
th
was shining brightly as cotton-like clouds flew through the azure
sky. I was driving on an unpaved road quite far from the city. Alone
in my car, I let my thoughts wander. I recalled my past three weeks
in which I had ventured out into the lush jungles of Namoza,
surveyed the barren wastelands of Ashara, and traversed the
snowy terrains of Wanoda. Great scenery. Took a lot of photos. But
not memorable. I’d seen these places so often that they became
mundane. Uninteresting. Driving past the green meadows,
I yearned for an experience that would spark my explorer soul.

Two hours had gone by, and it became more difficult to
drive. Fog thickened over this area. I could barely see the path
ahead, if there was any. Why am I traveling in the first place? Why
don’t I just work in my hometown? Suddenly, I felt lighter and
lighter… and SPLASH!
