Once upon a time, before the gods got a name and the temples were built, a kid ran away.
Never looking back. Running faster than his thoughts, faster than his parents were calling him, faster than his heartbeats.
Even his skin wasn’t able to keep up with the speed of his desire to flee, letting his spirit move in the air.
Going everywhere, leaving behind some dewdrops to get lighter and fly at higher speed.
Until reaching the end of the world, until dissolving.
Just before the first buds appeared…
