A soft grin spreads across his face as he watches the clouds float through the sky hiding the sun periodically. One of his favorite things is lying on the ground with his hands tucked behind his head. It reminds him of his childhood when he ran free without a care in the world, but now Faux finds himself wondering what his life would've been like had his name never been drawn.
It's been four years, and so much has changed, and even to this day, he's continuing to figure out who he is.
Focusing on small tasks has become easier, yet his mind still wanders relentlessly making it hard to even remember why he's doing what he started. So much changed the moment that weapon smacked into his skull sending him into another world temporarily.
But now he's here trying to make his way in life. Sometimes he'll follow his brothers into the fields and work with them because he wants to have his own way in life. He wants a family and a place to call his own.
He just doesn't know how to get there.
Why would anyone want to spend time with him? He sees the how people look at him. He should've died, death burst through his door, but at the last moment a guardian angel reached down picking him up from the ground and giving him another chance. It's never happened before, and now he's wondering why.
Every human has a purpose in life, and now Faux wonders what his is.
Why was he given a second chance?
A heavy sigh leaves his chest as he forces himself into a standing position wiping the dirt from his back.
Maybe he can find a friend, someone to talk to. Someone who can understand his struggles. Someone to help him get back on his feet and find his place in the world as it slowly moves forward without him. So much has changed, and now he's struggling to figure out which way to go. Most of the time he waits until the sun has gone down to even show his face to the great outdoors.
Today is different.
And maybe that's the first step he needs.
Living in a world without anyone by his side is taking away from the life he once enjoyed, and it serves as a reminder that no matter what happens, he's an outcast trying to find his way.
Yet he takes a step forward, and then takes another one. Today is a new beginning, and Faux plans on making the best of it no matter how hard it truly is.
