Half a life dreaming of discovery.
Four years chasing fairy tales.
Seven months making promises.
Two seasons hard training.
Six weeks upon the sea.
Nineteen days through the unexplored regions.
Twenty-one hours running from monsters.
Ninety minutes searching for companions.
Far too long hungry.
One glorious moment of validation.
A few seconds grieving for the lost.
A tired, strained, instant opening the door.
The rest of eternity never heard from again.
