Favorite Place

My favorite place hides in the woods along a hidden path. The birds chirp, the water flows freely and subtly, and the sun peaks through the treetops providing warmth.

Week 7 Story: Adventure Amongst the Clouds

Ari desired more than what his life currently entailed. He wanted to live it to it’s fullest. Ari was a simple man, but being simple wasn’t enough.

Ari prepared a large backpack and some humble meals for the long travel. He already was a religious man, so he had easily packed all his praying equipment. So began Ari’s long journey up the mountainside. Every morning he would pray and meditate for 3 hours, he’d brought offerings, enough for every day he woke up in the mountains. It was one morning when Ari was meditating when he heard an animal approaching. It was a boar, with anger in it’s eyes and an intent to kill. Ari looking longingly at the boar, it had been a while since he’d had a decent meal, and his offerings to the god during his morning rituals were diminishing.
