Fears
Legend has it that one fateful day, a Man, overwhelmed by seeing the forest closely, thought he had no reason to venture into its depths, as long as he left far enough.
That assumption was converted from the spot, in his only reason, and forgot the duty and the hobby, devoting all his breath to run.
So He ran year after year, in the vain hope to stay away from trees. Unaware of existence, like a snow-covered island surrounded by thick forests accretive inexorably, until there remains no island ... until there is only density ...
The man fled, like a blind man without realizing that pursuing only that which frightened him so much: death.
The man not only lost his life, which by itself is worthless, but also everything else.
