Nobody really wants to die, but there comes a time when some wouldn’t mind. Tonight was one of those nights, the freezing wind was threatening snow and ice. But for now the ground was still dry, there was not a cloud in the sky. His buffalo grazed in the hills near by, as flint and steel collide a spark will light his last fire. The smallest things can be so comforting, when faced with a future full of suffering. So why not burn the biggest logs and drink a skin of wine? There could be no better time to remember friends loved and lost, the horror, and the heavy cost. He reflected on the past and how they meant to sail away, but the sky was thick and gray and it was windless this may, oh they were sore. So they floated to the shore, they moored the boat, recorded a last report dictated by the captain from halfway in his grave. And it said: “two ships capsized on rocks along the cove, supplies were lost and natives drove us far from known terrain. Survival looking grim and the mission’s been abandoned. I pray you find this worth it in the end.” He swore to those that remained that their lives would not be lost in vain and set course east into uncharted plains. Sent to certain death, you stole my future. You’ve made your last mistake. Im coming for you.
