“×××××” —Solo—
There was a beautiful grassland. The grass carpeting the ground, as well as the wild flowers, danced as a gentle breeze swept across the field.
On this field was a perfectly straight road. The white road stretched out on and on and on. As to where this road leads to, it was not known.
A motorrad was running on it. It was heavily loaded with luggage.
The riding traveler noticed something and slowed down. It was a small child by the wayside, raising his hands.
The motorrad stopped. The child spoke,
“Please take me with you.”
“No way! There is no more room,” the motorrad immediately said.
The driver asked,
“Where did you come from?”
The child did not answer.
“Where are you going?”
The child did not answer.
“What is your name?”
“×××××”
The child replied and said the same thing once more.
“Please take me with you.”
“No way! There is no more room,” the motorrad immediately said.
The traveler spoke, almost in a grunt,
“I cannot be in charge of somebody’s life. I already have my hands full looking after myself. And so, I cannot bring you along, you should stop your notion about it. I am selfish… I am very selfish.”
“It is not possible to travel with two people on anyway,” the motorrad chirped in.
The traveler approached the child, squatted down, and while looking at the child’s face,
“Goodbye, ×××××.”
With this, the traveler rode the motorrad and left.
There was a beautiful grassland. The grass carpeting the ground, as well as the wild flowers, danced as a gentle breeze swept across the field.
On this field was a perfectly straight road. The white road stretched out on and on and on. As to where this road leads to, it was not known.
There, a small child has been left behind.
There, a small child has been left behind forever.
