A frail and pale young man was standing on what was the beginning of a case of steps leading to something anew. He was not prone towards exploring the unknown. But on this particular day, Simon decided to go against his body.
I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
- Simon
When I opened my eyes upon ascending the stairs, the first thing I saw was light. Though it was unfamiliar to me as it wasn't only white or dark, I squinted in what I believed to be discomfort.
Once my eyesight had adjusted, I became aware of something within the sky though I inherently knew of what it was even without seeing it.
"Tsk. This Sun is too bright."
Once I looked around I inherently knew of everything around me, the grass beneath my feet, and the area of trees surrounding me I knew of it all.
"I don't like it. Its too different."
Though even with this thought I marched onwards viewing everything around me yet I noticed something was off.
No matter where I went and no matter what it was, the animals seemed wary of me almost as if I looked off.
I decided to look around for a source of water and as I succeeded and brought myself near I took a look and.
"Wow. I'm quite handsome."
Shaking his head in awe he looked at his features and decided he must be good looking compared to most people and went on his way in search for people.
"I guess those animals have no taste."
As Simon traveled for what seemed to be hours he finally came across a small group of 4 people.
Though they seemed to notice him first.
"Hey! you there."
Simon cleared his throat.
"Me?"
Then the group looked at him in confusion and someone added:
"Come Closer slowly."
As I heard these words I drew closer looking closely at each of them until I stood around 4 meters from the group.
"State your name and business."
"Tch. A bunch of hardasses."
My name is Simon and I've been searching for anyone, so I can exit this Damned forest.
After I said this a man stepped forth and stared me down closely.
"Heh. He must be admiring my looks."
"looking a bit rough there pal can you tell us where you came from?"
"I looked away in disarray thinking to myself, Rough? Me? Inconceivable. Though I realized something a Man calling Me ugly, of course he must be Jealous."
"I looked at each of the members and found two male and two female so I figured this man must be fighting for his pride."
Me, Rough? how do you figure.
The man looked at those surrounding him and looked back.
"You look off."
"Tch, this piece of shit."
I was about to speak again until I looked at each of the members and realized they all looked at me as the animals did.
I recall the time I looked at myself at the stream and looking back on it something was off, though I put it past me before.
Though looking back on it I realized my face looked almost smudged? It's as if I couldn't remember what I'm supposed to look like.
Looking back on it I didn't consider the possibility of me looking strange as I only looked for a brief moment but I realized something.
"What do I really look like?"
I tried to think back and realized I couldn't recall anything regarding my physical appearance.
