A boy stood with his whole life before him and he wondered how he was supposed to catch up with it.
Life teased the boy by showing him what it'd be like if he could just move a little more gracefully. It showed him beauty and love and passion. It told him he'd figure it out one day.
The boy believed it and waited patiently. He waited and he waited and he sat and he waited. As he sat, his limbs lengthened. His face grew hair, which turned gray then white as the surface it grew on became wrinkled with time.
As he sat, he learned fear and he learned doubt. He discovered the potency of their combination and realized he was no match for his own mind.
So life laughed at him and the man tried to laugh back but failed. His mind went blank and he gave up on his eyes. He fell on his back and tears rolled out the sides.
Life left him there alone on the ground.
