Observation
Is this a race? Not sure when it started, whose race it is, or what it’s for, but here we go... Where is everybody? Somehow, I feel frozen in place. Deeply rooted in everything around me. Hard to believe sense I’m never present. My mind is always idling on yesterday and worrying about tomorrow. Whew I’m tired... not exhausted, not even thirsty, just tired. My heart’s heavy too but not pounding. This race feels lonely, no one in sight... it’s just me.

- Well done, in doing it well #399! IMO, you nailed your observation of that guy. I believe your depiction would hold the same affect if this piece could come to life even. Wow, just wow...
- I sense reverse psychology or you speaking from that masked man's POV. LOL, that stinker does look like he would say such things in that tone, but it can easily feel like it's really from you. No offense taken, as I'm here by invite and for the therapy.
- My first thought was, come on now - give us more... Just "Him" definitely provokes thought. You got me mulling over it for sure.
Revision
Rooted in the present, I reflect on a race no one can run, but me. Survive or succumb. Survivor's mode activated, I persevere.
