Walking through the past. Or is it the future?
I just got home, and I have nothing better to do so I may as well write in this thing. Hmmmmm where to start……….On Saturday I didn’t do much and things didn’t happen. I went for a walk. I have been going for walks a lot lately. Some are great and some are horrible. Well as for Saturday it was real late and I was real bored so I walked. First I walked to the park and went up into the playground for a second. Then I walked the long way into town. Who goes to town by themselves at night? Then I turned around and walked down to the bay. I saw some people on the dock so I went to a different one. I stood there and stared out into the darkness for a little bit. Then I threw some rocks into the water, I don’t know why. After that I walked threw the golf coarse. It was very dark. It kind of felt good to know that there wasn’t anyone for hundreds of yards in all directions. It also kind of scared me. I was worried during that walk, and now I know I had every reason to be.
Tonight I went for the walk that I have dreaded. I left the house and past by my parents at the end of our block returning from their walk. I knew there was a meteor shower tonight and as I past my dad he told me to look in the direction of Orion’s belt. I did and the second I did I sawr one and made a wish. After that I kept walking and looking up at the sky. I sawr two more shooting stars. I could have walked forever I really could have. Well I kept going and walked the long way to the park. Didnt see anymore shooting stars after this point. It seemed like I was walking past the stars or was getting close to them or something. It confused me. Once at the park I started swinging on one of the swings. I did this for a wile and decided I wouldn’t leave until I sawr another shooting star or the light went off. My hands started to freeze on the cold metal chain of the swing but I didn’t care. I was swinging for a long time. I think the light was either fixed or its motion censored, and I wasn’t seeing any shooting stars. I started getting a little nauseous from looking up at the sky and swinging back and forth. I was also expected home at a decent hour so I stopped swinging. I could have swung there for ever I really could have. I then went up into the playground and looked at the sky for a bit more. Clouds started to come in so I couldn’t see as many stars. I stumbled over the railing and then took the long way home. There were a lot more clouds now. By the time I was half way home I could barley see any stars. I got home and went upstairs and typed this. This walk reminded me of some things, and I thought a lot about the future. I could have walked forever, I really could have. I could have let my legs take me wherever they wanted. No destination, and nowhere to return to. I could have just walked and walked, lost in the depths of my mind.
