The Secret

Chapter 1/5 Endless

Lost in no man's land

It was a long journey. The empty landscape with its endless beauty stretched out without offering hope. As I walked forward without thoughts and feelings and time just faded away. I was going on autopilot, some kind of instinctive will power that I wasn't even aware of. I had nothing more than myself.

Chapter 2/5 Horizon

Hope and curiosity, the foundation of humanity

I slowly moved forward until a small black dot appeared far away. Arriving at what I thought would be my rescue, I found only a woman dressed in black lying there. Her eyes met mine, and she whispered with a weak voice, "Please give me water, for I am dying."

Chapter 3/5 Question

When willingness is not enough

Desperation weighed heavily on me, seeing her there in pain was like a heavy ache in my heart. I had nothing to offer, no water, not even tools to dig for it. I really wanted to help her and I wonder what to do. Strangely, a clear voice responded, like an silent echo that reverberated through my mind.

Chapter 5/5 The Cup

The discovery of an ancient legend

Without thinking, I knew what to do. I visualized a tool in my mind. I formed my hands into a cup and opened my heart, allowing tears to fall and collect in my hands until they brimmed with liquid. Then, I bent down to her, reached my hands to her lip and said; drink and live.
