Tin Universe Daily #116
JOURNAL ENTRY:
I
decided to walk up into the woods where I live. On the way up into the woods I
passed the last houses before I entered the woods. I stopped to tie my shoe and
I began to think that I was leaving civilization and I was entering Mother
Nature’s turf.
As
I walked up an old dirt road and saw that they were weeds growing in the dirt
road and there were branches all over the road it hits me.
Not
many people ever used this road except me and I haven’t been on it since I was
about ten years old.
The
deeper I walked into the woods the more alone I felt. I could hear squirrels
and see some birds but I was alone. I couldn’t just yell through the house for
my parents or call a friend on the phone.
If
my parents cared anymore.
As
if I had friends.
As
I walked I saw no signs of civilization until I stepped on a Coke can. My heart
rate slowed, even though I hadn’t even noticed it was racing. Seeing this can,
this modern convention had reminded me that I’m a modern cowboy of TV, trucks,
and food at my feet.
But
for the little while that I walked through the woods I was in another time.
For
that little while I wasn’t a freak scared they were going to come take me away
at any moment when someone makes the call and reports me.
