Imagine a road. That led to anywhere you wanted it to lead to. Anywhere. Even to a place from storybooks and make-belief. Even to a place you made inside your head.
Now imagine a person. Walking down that road. Or running. Or flying. Or zig-zagging up and down in vague caterpillar-like motions. But there's a person. And there's a road. And the road leads to someplace else. And Someplace Else is far away. And Far Away is where you need to be.
