An hour passed. While trotting along‚ she crosses some worn and rusty train tracks. Weeds and grasses were sprouting between the spaces. It was obvious people weren’t using them anymore.

The place he lived in was Valhalla‚ the realm of the Gods‚ an intense dimension that was fashioned for the prosperity of higher beings. This forlorn god sitting
