That was my one pure pleasure in life. I could walk for miles and miles‚ and if needed I could run even further. I loved to feel the open around me. I could feel there were no limits or boundaries to where I wanted to go. Not like this though‚ not like this. Simple things in life‚ things I used to take for granted now seem unreachable
