Something different dotting the seemingly endless trail ahead naturally grabbed your attention. It wasn’t much. It was a scene you could probably have found at any of your local parks when you were still alive. A tree and a bench with a person you’ve never met sitting on top of it. Still, the sight of another person on this lonely road and the opportunity to take a break from all the monotonous walking was too good to pass up on.
You make your way towards the scene, your steps with just a little more bounce to them than before in anticipation of meeting the first person you’ve seen on this journey. Now that you’re this close to the stranger, you can see clearly who it is. A friendly looking man with short, grey hair and a black mustache. His skin had a healthy tan to it and unlike you appears to have been dressed for a day out. Once you sit yourself down on the opposite end of the bench, giving your mind a rest from the Sisyphean task of unending hikes, he scoots himself closer with a broad smile adorning his face.
<span class="mu-b"> Hey, stranger. Bet you had a nice view on the way up here, right? He extended his arm out, hoping for a handshake. You got a long ways to go. Should be about a day of walking until you reach the top, give or take. At least that’s what I’ve heard. Was that a full 24 hours of nothing but walking? It’s not like you are tired or anything, so sleep might not be involved in that calculation. You’ve only been walking for an hour, so you’re not even a quarter of the way there if this man is telling the truth. The name’s Roger. I’ve been waiting for my wife before I go ahead and climb any further. <span class="mu-g"> Atticus. Pleasure to meet you, Roger.
Ah, a wife. Something most men would love to have. What about you? Did you have a wife before passing on, or did she hit the bucket before you? Maybe you had a husband instead. Maybe you had nobody and can keep trekking up the pathway without waiting on anyone important.
>You had a wife.>You had a husband.>You had no spouse.(If you choose one of the first two options, you can elaborate on if they died first or are still alive.)</span></span>
