The setting sun cast glowing embers in the sky, as if stretching its magnificent yellow rays to capture the expanse one last time before dying, if only for the night.Thomas, lying on his back, extended his hand as far as it allowed, and it wasn’t much, to touch the sky. To feel the warmth of the sinking sun. But all he felt was the cold on the back of a mule cart, where he had been since this morning and three before.“How much further?” He asked the old man in the front. Talking to the back of his head, which looked like a white furry carpet...

Life right now is multitudinous. I've gotten everything I wanted as a child. An apartment with a beautiful view, financial liberty... and someone who loves me. Really loves me.

Lost, his eyes try to pierce through the fog. The unearthly, all-enveloping mist that had settled around him and brought with it a bone-chilling cold. The kind of cold that penetrates the holes of your skin and seeps into your core. The air is thick, pale, and opaque, and his breath comes out in smoke, weaving with the vapour around, making him question if it is inside him. The calming susurration of the wind in leaves is gone, and the sun is hidden behind clouds that undulate endlessly in the sky. With only greys and whites around h...
