A Dark Room

by Tired Old Man
Nations do not surface in a day. They start from humble, tiny beginnings. Built with good intentions. But all it takes is a mind twisted by greed to change everything.

I am the leader of a prosperous village. Work is frequent, food plentiful, and smiles are everywhere.

I could not do it alone, though. Luna helped me make it all. I am thankful for this.

And yet not all is well. The forest outside calls to me, demands that I explore its depths and the world. The more that come to settle, the less reason I have to stay.

Luna begs me not to go. Says I should stay. The world out there is dangerous. This village, our village, is safe.

But I must go. I will see the world, and nothing will stand in my way.

Nothing.
