Maine, USA.
The bitter snow concluded. If you woke early in the morning, you could discover the sun rising. With fresh and cold air, together with birdsong, the morning feels so alive.
It was so melodic and delicate that it even melted the core of the dangerous creature.
"Everything can wish if one finds that place."
It was a famous saying in our town.
Many folklores passed through many families. Every household claimed that their ancestor got the chance to that area.
04:00 A. M
In a certain apartment.
An unceasing alarm buzz through the room.
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
It's buzzing increases as second passes, soon it stops when a young man stops it.
"ah~~" the young man stretches his stiff body. Morning hours were his daily routine for him, but for some reason he couldn't keep the daily routine.
The young man had bad luck the last day. His old injury came which he tried to forget. Yet like a boomerang, it become back to him.
He lazed on his bed before he got up to washroom. After taking five minutes of his time, he walks toward cupboard to pick a clean tracksuit.
Before he starts tracking, he warms his body. When he has sufficient workout, he dashed off towards the hills nearby.
In the town, People consider him one of the few morning risers. Even when he has strange phobia, everyone knew his kind personality.
His reason for waking late was adequate because of those medical and work. This treatment takes hours before he could discharge.
After those annoying thin, he had to sleep very late at night. He was still feeling sleepy, so he took half of the usual running goals.
Before he does everything, he does his daily warm-up and looks at the sleet in his yard. He takes time to clean the street for him before he runs. He stretched for a moment and ran to the nearest mountains.
Now that he is on his way. Let me introduce the young man.
The young man's name is Alexander de graham. Age 32,
Occupation: manager in a small workshop
It was the age of 25. Many urged a question: why are you still unmarried?
His many old-time friends urged him too. But his claim was unsatisfying. It was, 'it is fine being more alone' or 'well.'
On New Year's Eve, everyone gets to know his reason for being single. On that occasion, everyone set him up for a blind date without his knowledge.
But it goes wrong from their expectation; his anxiety came in and drove him into a semi-coma. From there onwards, no one has raised a query of him being unmarried, nor they can.
As he was running at his pace, Alexander greeted many individuals on his way.
After 15 minutes of running, he arrived at his target. He takes the stairs to reach the peak of the mountain.
As he climbs the stairs, a sudden rise of light falls on him, and he reaches out to him.
It feels familiar to him, and the moment he wakes, he was in a completely unknown place.
The plains filled with bird's song and meadow, and he realized he was in the rumour scenery.
He sits on the grass and takes a deep breath to relax, but his eyes become heavy, and he falls asleep before he realizes.
He lives a life of unhappiness and fear. At that age, he has lost both his mother and sister.
The funeral of his sister and mother caused him to develop trauma.
He forced his mother to buy that console, which he thinks leads to his mom and sister's death. As the sole survivor of the calamity, he blamed himself for what took place.
The cold and lifeless bodies of his mother and sister made his soul closed like a door.
Those close emotions made him unable to cry or get depressed. When he remembers the lifeless body of his mother and sister, he couldn't fall asleep.
Every time he tried to fall asleep, he had those terrifying nightmares every single time.
In Alexander's dream, he always sees an older woman hunt him down with a scythe.
After she captured him, she started torturing him; this was painful for the young Alexander. It felt like a predator who didn't hunt him for eating but torturing. The dream didn't stop haunting him.
Thanks to his psychiatrist, Alexander could forget most of his nightmare, but a fragment of it still haunts him.
He constantly felt like prey, who got traumatized by its predator.
Even the famous doctors in the United States cannot find any solution for him.
They can only recommend him to take therapy sessions, but it cannot solve it.
It was fine for the early age, as the recent events and elderly age. The condition got worse as the therapy eventually lose its effects.
...
Yesterday,
It was the busiest time for Alexander and the crew. They were constantly either call or busy writing reports, but they did their best not to fall down.
10:30 A. M.
Three women showed up at my office requesting to endorse them to his superior for partnership.
Alexander was the source to set up a connection to our chief.
The group of ladies entered his office. It was terrifying for Alexander, but his ten years in this field of work prepared him composed.
Still, the lingering fear could escape from his mind and soul.
His heart beat as if he shows his natural predator. He started panicking but still keep his composure.
"Hello Mr Alexander de Graham, I'm Stephen from Hawks' company. With no further wasting our chance, I'll go to the point. I want to discuss something from your executive, can deliver this message."
With none of her consent, Alexander ran out of the office, as he endured the fear and set off to the boss's chamber.
"What happened to you, Alex~~, oh my gosh!" Chief ran towards him and caught him, then put him on the adjacent sofa.
It took five minutes for Alexander to calm, and he received him with a glass of water.
"Here takes some water, and slowly tell me what happened," the chief didn't compel him to respond;
Inside, he had been dead worried. He was polite and worried resulted from setting him for a blind date to which he caused his trauma back. Even when he may forgive him, as a responsible senior, he can't stop blaming himself.
"Chief Li, three people from the Hawke company wants to discuss with you regarding the plan we proposed last week."
Alexander reported.
The chief pondered a while and decided to meet with them.
But before he goes to meet them, Chief called an ambulance and together with some worker, they escorted him. Alexander's trauma for some reason made him immobilized him for a long while.
"Take a weekend break; you must be in a proper condition before you carry out in my workshop." At midnight, Boss Li appeared at his ward and ordered Alexander to take a break.
It was nit dramatic, but Alexander knew he was saying for his sake.
08:00 A. M
Alexander was in his deep when he felt uncomfortable sleeping, the heat getting warm on his leg. Then it arrived at a peculiar temperature. He woke from his nap.
"What the heck!" he exclaimed while he was sleeping. Without him realizing it, he spent three hours on the mountain cliff just before he could be angry with himself.
[growl~~~~]
A sound came from his stomach. He has no energy to get annoyed.
Feeling frustrated, he raced towards a food restaurant and ordered fast food, which he devoured like a pig, then he paid with e-cash and went away.
After a while, his body feels lighter and much healthy than ever
After dozing for hours maybe caused him energetic, but seeing grass on his clothes, he felt embarrassed. But he realizes his attire.
As Alexander was whistling and strolling through the street, he showed a child playing in the park and sees him throwing his ball at the road by mistake. The child walks towards to brings his ball.
Alexander saw a speeding sports car at the far distance that exceeds the car limit rush, almost hitting the boy.
Before Alexander could think, his body moved on its own, pulling the child off the street. But he missteps his feet and getting hit by the car.
The impact throws his body five feet from the points of accidents.
In the last breath, he thought about his past and grief.
"ahh~ My only lament was not being strong to help when mom and sis..., I couldn't marry a young woman."
