I’m walking The ground is muddy, my clothes are soggy. It’s raining. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The sky is gray, the ground is wet and the trees are bare except for one nest. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I look at my phone, it’s almost dead But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I’m walking And I hear a noise. I turn and see a bird lying on the cold, wet ground just praying to die. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I hear another sound I turn and see a fox stalking the hurt bird. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The fox grows closer to the bird. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The bird squeaks. I stop. I turn around and walk back and pick up the bird. I find its nest and place it there. I continue walking. I don’t know where I’m going. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going.

The path of life
I’m walking The ground is muddy, my clothes are soggy. It’s raining. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The sky is gray, the ground is wet and the trees are bare except for one nest. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I look at my phone, it’s almost dead But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I’m walking And I hear a noise. I turn and see a bird lying on the cold, wet ground just praying to die. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. I hear another sound I turn and see a fox stalking the hurt bird. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The fox grows closer to the bird. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going. The bird squeaks. I stop. I turn around and walk back and pick up the bird. I find its nest and place it there. I continue walking. I don’t know where I’m going. But I can’t stop, I have to keep going.
