Mike's journal

Michael grew up in a large city that he no longer remembers the name of. He no longer cares about it. However, some memories drift by like the wind would rustle the trees of a giant oak. Sometimes memories of his dad sitting in the office at work, tired and overworked. Memories of his mom, watching TV during the day with a glass of wine in her hand. But mostly, he remembers the garden on the roof of his building. He remembers stumbling into it one day and meeting the old woman that would take care of him through the majority of the days. Her name is unimportant. Names are just labels. How can someone label something made from the Earth? We all come from the land.

At 16, after the garden on the roof was lonely, no longer containing his seregate mother, Mike decided to turn his back on the world and left the city. The hunger was what got him first. Laying on the forest floor, Mike moaned with the pain in his stomach. His body had become emaciated, and his hair had begun to fall out from malnutrition. But the forest heard his plight, and provided what he needed. The first year was he hardest. After that, it became his home. He found shelter in the caves and trees, food in the animals and plants, and pleasure in the sights and sounds. He drew pleasure of the company of the animals and trees. He took pleasure in the jokes he could play on them and the excitement that only friendship can bring.

After a many years (Mike no longer kept track), his hair looked grey and his skin wrinkled in the reflections of the water. Suddenly, a loud cracking broke the peaceful noises of the forest. Smoke billowed in the distance. Animals ran and cried for help. Mike, in his cloak woven from fiber and skins, ran to the source. Giant metal monsters that he once new as tractors and lumbering equipment tore through his home. On the side of these monstrosities was the all too familiar logo of his father's work: Samsung had followed him even here.

Anger overwhelmed him, but he knew there was nothing his frail body could do to prevent the turmoil. He needed help. But who? Who could he get help from? Who has power. And that's when he knew it was time to return to the city to seek help from others. ''' =Markthus=
