Lost In The Dark   Part 8 : The Overwhelming City              The noise of vehicles stuck in traffic, horns honking, people rushing around. The city brightens the night sky. Time ticks as you walk passed pedestrians ignoring your presence. People go about their day, you bump into others, glares in their eyes as you realize that you can't speak. Neon lights shine through the night, you read a sign that says, "wrong way." Crossing the street to find the right direction to where you need to be, you run into a dead end, forced to go back into the crowded pedestrian walkways. Hesitation fills you as you stare at the impatient pedestrians, pushing, shoving and showing no respect for others. You look in horror as you try to find another path. Your heart races, sweat runs down your cheek as you push through the busy crowd. Stumbling left and right, constantly shoved around like you are just in their way, and are meaningles...

Lost In The Dark Part 7 : The Long Road      You started to feel frustrated as the road seems to never end. You spot a fork in the road but never bothered to read the signs,  instead you just randomly walked down the road, in which you felt like it was the right way. Though you don't question yourself or your position on the path. A car horn can be heard from behind you. It surprised you, you are startled and stood straight up with a chill down your entire body. A vehicle pulled up next to you and the window rolled down. You see a person but can't make out who they are. They ask you, “do you need a ride to your destination?” You replied back with, “yes, I have been walking around aimlessly for a while now but don't know how to get to the end of the road. Thank you for taking the time to stop and drive me to my destination”. The person lets you into the car. You buckle up and then the vehicle drives down the road. They play a radio station that ...

Lost In The Dark Part 6 : The Lonely Road       Standing in the middle of the street you begin to walk along the side of the road. The road is in the middle of a desert landscape with cacti and desert wildlife. You are again all alone and no other human being is within the vicinity. The path appears to be smooth and easy to walk along. The air is pleasant and you are kind of thrilled to be by yourself again with no one else to keep getting into your way, stepping on/over you  or pushing ahead of you. Now you can relax as you are finally able to have the road to yourself. This stroll alongside the road is peaceful and quiet. The sight of the animals and plants give you a nice scenery to appreciate as you are on your journey. You stop to admire a few bunny rabbits and sit down to rest your feet. Your ankles are sore and you are exhausted from walking around for miles with no idea where you are going, or if there is an end of the road you are taking. T...

Lost In The Dark Part 5 : The Crowded Mountain Trail    Lost in the nescient mist, you stumble around while the blissful environment starts to make you uncomfortable. The haze of the mist seems to be getting thicker than before. The heat and air started to drop in temperature. A new path is in front of you but you decided to take a different route, skipping the current path in hope for the best route. You have not a clue of what the best route is, you don't want to leave the security of the present moment. The route might not have worked in your favor and would probably lead you to failure. You feel like this excuse is solid. Deep inside you, you are afraid of failing over and over again. By staying in the mist, you are able to avoid the consequences for being wrong. You feel like you have been walking uphill. Though you cannot see a few inches from your own face. You walked into a tree. You bumped your head on the trunk of the tree. Your head hurts, you can't...
