The Lonely Quest

CHAPTER 1

It was a lonely and painful life on the streets, being kicked about by complete strangers and getting your stuff stolen, every so often. This is how I lived for a long time, because at birth my mother died and my father ran away, I didn't know where he went - all I knew is that he went west. Years later I decided I was fed up of being treated like this and wanted to get away, so I grabbed the remains of my stuff and set out to find my father. Using what little information I knew I started going west.

For 12 years I had been travelling west and checking houses, phone books and anything else that could be useful but I couldn't find anything. Until one day something finally arrived as I was asking around in a small village in the mountains in Scotland, one old man told me he'd seen him in the mountain one day and that he'd probably live in the only hut on the entire mountain. The beginning wasn't so bad but after a few hours on that mountain I felt like going home, but I no longer cared about a new life all I wanted was to find out who my father was.

After several days on that mountain I saw something, I wasn't sure if it was hallucinations from insanity or if it was real, I had seen or at least thought I had seen smoke rising several miles away , so, after some very deep consideration, I decided to head towards the smoke. It took me several hours to reach it, but it was well worth It.
