The boy learnt to run without stopping. Spreading his arms and aiming for the mountains. Even the wind bowed at his strength. As he embraced the world with a grin.

But then, his arms are shaking. And for a while, He is lost in a mysterious fountain. His breath lost to the sea and his voice faint. He gazed at the image before him.

What a wonderful creature! He moved closer to behold the image And then he is trapped in the beast's nest He saw more than his weary eyes could eat

He painted so quickly a perfect future. Slowly he grow impatient and there came rage. He thought he had found love clothed in a dress But Love had scars,dressed perfectly with the help of a makeup kit.
