I was wondering through an open, green textured field when I stumbled upon the most curious of

little terrors, which was much unlike the creatures I had ever encountered before in my protracted
years of searching for that which is most important to me. From closer analyses of this creature, it
was quite clear to me that it was of a species quite unknown to the taxonomy of the local region -
such detail in its malignancy was quite well protruded, but hardly to be expected of any creature
that breathes as it sat entirely still, gaing upon what seemed to be a bright, golden piece of metal,
likely to have been dropped there by a lonesome wonderer such as myself.
I do not understand why such an abhorrent little creature would be so fascinated with an ob!ect
that, from what I observed, held no material or sentimental value, but it was quite clear that this
creature was so fixated upon this ob!ect I dared not interfere.
I decided to observe this uncanny little monster for a little while longer, never anticipating what I
was !ust about to experience" when suddenly a dark, old familiar mood made itself known to me.
#hese moods $which I have on numerous occasions tried to convey yet remained so hopelessly
unfortunate that I was and most likely, never able to % had a tendency to rile up those old, dark
memories from which I had previously escaped from in a early child-hood of unmitigated disaster
and despair - a story for another time, maybe.
I then found myself in a most awkward disposition" it felt as if the ground was rumbling, and the
sky was screeching, with all the weight of my grown upper body placed upon my already
weakening knees from an exhausting !ourney perhaps already unnecessarily elongated.
#hrough the sheer horror and pain of this experience, I yearned for a quick death, though due to the
unlucky nature of my already established ill fortune, death was certain not to come.
&s I was, groaning there in that instant in time, feeling the violent vibrations of the earth $or body'%
and the harrowing cries of the sky $or mind'% I never expected what was about to happen. #he little
horror creature, with that piece of golden mental firmly gripped between its index and middle
finger, suspended aloof between the ground and sky that torture me, leering down on me in a
fashion baring resemblance to that of a holy man performing an exorcism. (uriously, in the midst of
the maelstrom which were my wits, a softly spoken tongue made itself know in the back of my own
conscious, )*ou need not worry, my little sordid creature,+ It said, )for the !ourney you partake is
about to draw to an end. I have done what is right by I, my purpose" now complete. &s for you - you
may carry on in your tortures as you have always done. ,oaming from tide to tide, blae to blae,
plume to plume, tundra by tundra, seeking out an answer to a question that will always fall on deaf
ears. -o why is it, my dreary old friend, that you decided to come here in your reckless abandon,
why must you qualm me in order for you to make an end of yourself' &h but such questions
always go unanswered.+
In that moment while those soft, yet troublesome words began to fade into the back of my thoughts,
I noticed the tremors of the earth slowly-soothing and the screams of the air calmly-subsiding" all
the while noticing a glowing suspended energy hovering !ust above the armoured shoulder of the
now smiling little angel, which was once that terrible little abomination that I was hesitant to
disrupt. #he ball of glowing golden energy now began to vibrate erratically, its movements so
severe that I entirely forgot of my own predicament, it was now clear to me that the enchanting little
angel had flipped that golden piece metal, which originally sat between its finger, a short distance
into animation. -o I kneeled there, with the palms of my hands resting firmly behind the back of my
skull, my eyes watching with the utmost of anticipation at the bright light that was clearly putting
on a show" then it was over.
I do not recall the exact moments after that experience aforementioned above, as I had passed into a
deep amnesia insurmountable by any lasting effect of time, but it did occur to me that it was a
phenomenon too sublime for the simple intellect to comprehend. -o now I sit here, writing for the
first time, about the experience that I.ve spent too long reminiscing in a fit on confounded nostalgia.
&s troubling as the whole ordeal, I can not help but surmise, that I have unwittingly made a grave
error in !udgement. For the mere fact that I sit here now, writing this experience about my
endeavour then, it is but a denouement of the !ourney I once devoted my life to.
