Futuristic Fantasy: The Far Future

That purpose

Keil walked following what the mysterious person had ordered earlier. Keil did not think, the distance he traveled took a long time. From far away, it looks a bit close.

The rain is starting to fall. Keil who has not been wet again since wearing an umbrella. Now it's a little dry. Keil felt his body slightly wrinkle and shiver. He hastened his steps.

Keil thought, what will happen later. What's in that light spot?

A thousand steps, two thousand steps, three thousand steps...

Keil felt very tired. Where the destination is far away.

Did my eyes trick me?

The rain is just spattering. Keil sat extending both of his legs on the wet ground. Take a short break.

"Is this a trick—, or a test?"

Keil tried to dispel his strange thinking. He believed the helper was sincere in helping him. Perhaps, he was hallucinating and the distance was only 'visible' away.

Keil stood up and continued on his way. The night was still dark, not feeling the light point Keil saw slightly enlarged. From a point into a collection of six points that come together.

"Sorry..Fuuf.."

Keil controlled himself from the cold by inhaling and breathing deeply. A little warmth will reduce the chances of him freezing to death. Thousands more steps have passed.

Keil, who was not strong, now began to lie down in despair as he had previously done.

"Are you kidding me. What distance should I cover?"

Is this a dream? It was like a dream to walk without end...

Never mind. I want to die from that. I'll meet the destiny I'm supposed to do..

The morning has arrived. Keil awoke from his sleep when the sunlight touched his face. Keil saw a house right next to him. The house is composed of cemented bricks, but Keil only knows that the house is gray— cement— color with a strange flat roof. Overall, it looks like a cube.

The village where Keil lives, there still uses wood or bamboo as the main shaper of his house. Then, straw as a roof that shade. So, Keil is very foreign to the shape and shape of this building.

What happened last night?

Someone came out the door of the house that had been opened. An adult man with a dull face even at first sight. He watched Keil for a moment and went back inside while slamming the door.

Am I wrong?

Keil took the initiative to leave the place immediately.

Really, unfriendly people.

Keil looked around..

Damnit. I strayed. I'm gonna learn not to trust strangers anymore. But last night was very strange. I don't remember having reached the destination that the goddamn midget pointed at. He gave me this thing, saved me from the rain, but, made me take a path I didn't know.

Now, I'm meeting an annoying, unfriendly man. Should I ask him?

Keil looked around once more. It's a small desert. There are trees that look very far around this place. Keil was looking for a crack, because he felt like he had never been through the woods last night.

That's her!

The crack Keil was looking for, he had already found it. A road without trees. At a great distance again, stood a tall mountain that either needed how many months or how many years to get there.

Keil was excited to leave this place. As he was stepping his first foot, the door of the cube house opened again. This time, he spoke to Keil.

No, that guy again.

Keil knew from the sound of the door being opened. Keil wanted to ignore it. But the voice of the man stopped him.

"If you still want to live, don't take the road without the trees. Especially entering the trees around this place"

"Ehm.what do you care about other people?"

Keil pitched in annoyance.

This guy's weird.

"alright. It's true what you said. Please leave this place. Because I shouldn't care!"

What's...

Keil missed something. He shouldn't have kept his mouth. He should have asked 'why', not ignored it.

"That's it. Maybe it's just bullshit"

Keil comforted himself and sat down where he would step his foot.

"I guess I really should ask. His words seemed to be no nonsense at all. I'll keep myself from making any other mistakes"

First, walk and calm your mind.

Tap the door politely.

Keep up whatever situation happens.

"I'm ready".
