Dear reader,

I write to you:

The wise words of a tale man have guided our needless odyssey so far. "The answers that you seek are seeking you too", he said. Why then have we been searching mindlessly for what is supposed to be seeking us? Why have we searched till our sweats turned to sizzling blood and found nothing?

Perhaps we missed what we were seeking because this veil of shimmering illusion had not fallen off our ill-fated faces. We walked a thousand steps for something we thought was far from our reach but we lost direction at five hundred. Stuck because we were seeking enormous things when the thing that we truly seek is mostly right in front of us, beneath us, or behind us.
