There was hardly enough of anything, except for the oppressie heat of the day and the bone chilling cold of the night. The traveller was hungry, thirsty, tired, and dirty. And the odds against him were great. Yet, with a firm will, he trudged forward into the vast emptiness wishing for salvation, needing a miracle. The betrayers are all around me, family lover, friends my heart and soul are crushed and empty except for the unrelenting pain and never ending darkness, life is so fleeting yet so many people spend so much time hurting others for no other reason than, that they can. I wish you all better luck with your hopes and dreams than i have had. I only hope the healing process is not as long and drawn out as the suffering.
