An Imagined Beginning
A lone figure emerges from the dark expanses of a mysterious realm. Nothing is tangible save the darkness, the fog, the loneliness, the stillness. The human just arrived seems to be searching for something concrete in this desolation. A horizon to reach; to follow and explore. Yet nothing reveals itself, and just so soon in his journey, the adventurer sinks to his knees in defeat. Lost in his wandering, shaky in his confidence, the beginning almost seems the end.
