A
stretch of road that seems never-ending lay before you. It is asphalt, not dirt
or land, and it is black. The road sticks straight ahead without any turns or
other textures, no change in scenery to take the edge off. In fact, the edges
have been lined with conveniences just for you. Some are expensive, impossible
to consider. Others are so cheap their value itself falls right through your
fingers. Others, still, seem affordable, offering not only your money’s worth
but also quality use over time. While nothing at the moment is needed, not by
you, the vague inkling that a need will arise along the way flutters inside
you—because you know better—, so you set out with your reusable water bottle,
some snack bars with protein, and a promise made with yourself to stop and at
least consider.
