《The Red Snowman》The Flying Monster

Advertisement

My plane crashed. All around me is still water, stars reflect on its surface. Far in the distance, the setting sun. I've lost my way home.

Where am I? I don't know anymore. It's a foreign land, full of wonders and strange phenomena unknown to men.

The rules of physics don't apply here, I would say, it's more like a dream.

The scape is blurry and although two distinct areas and events feel disconnected, there is always an unnatural limbo that forms the bridge.

I don't know what to do. I feel like plunging into the water could bring me to another dimension.

I'm scared.

But at the same time, it could bring me to the shore.

I want to see more, more and more. At least, a little more... how selfish I was? How selfish I am?

Despite having a family and home, I yearned for more. I yielded to the temptations.

Now, everything is uncertain. My life. My destination. I broke their hearts by leaving without saying goodbyes, but they wouldn't let me go. Nobody is going to search for me. That gate opens only once.

Am I unhappy? I don't think so... it's just the longing. Not having anyone by your side, it's a big sacrifice, but that's what it takes to go as far as I did. I'm happy just lying on my plane, watching clouds and counting stars.

How many years have passed?

I'm almost halfway done counting to a billion, and there are a lot more stars to count.

I'm bored of eating apples, bananas, and melons... and the time passes so slowly.

All it takes is just one leap of faith.

Why am I waiting aimlessly?

Because it's that all I know. I wouldn't have it any other way. If I could find an answer, an escape route, a way forward... just the way it is, without sacrificing anything anymore.

The depths are so dark.

Cruel.

"Don't jump!"

I must be going crazy, I'm hearing voices. Not for the first time. They always distract me from these feelings of courage.

They're kind of annoying.

But they're my light.

My endurance.

It's what keeps me bound here, but it's also what keeps me alive.

What I know is mine. I don't want it to just be taken by a single decision.

I won't give up on any of these stars.
