Hello. ^^ I wrote this after playing the game Alto's Adventures. This was my personal take on the game, though the creators probably meant for it to be more lighthearted. It's a mobile game that you can download on the app store. I highly recommend it. Also, I don't own it.

Why do I do this? Why do I continue to chase the llamas? The elders hate it when I disturb them, and the llamas continue to escape. It seems rather pointless to endlessly chase them. Why not just let them escape into the great unknown? Clearly I am doing something wrong, considering that they run from me day after day. Is it possible that the world out there is better than what we have here? I know not of what the world out there consists of. The snowy forests and mountains of my home is all I know. Do the elders know of the outside world? Is that why they chase us when we run past them? If I never crashed, if I continued to go into the snowy world which seems so endless, would I reach somewhere new? I know that the llamas would hurt themselves if we allowed them to be free; I have seen them fall into chasms and crash into mountains. But in keeping them here, are we benefiting them? Or is it for our own selfish gain that we keep them here? Perhaps we should set them free, to a land that could be better than what we have here. What would happen if I set them free? What would happen if I set myself free?
It's my fault. I wondered what would happen. If I set the llamas free. If I defied the elders. If I went out into the world. I know now. I know why they didn't want us to leave. Why they kept us on the mountain, with its beautiful snowy forests. The world is nothing but a hollow corpse. Everything has been ravaged.
Destroyed. I didn't listen. When the elders grew increasingly frantic as I rushed down the hill with the llamas, I didn't listen. In my own selfish quest for defiance, I dragged my village down with me. I took everything. Our source of life. The llamas. Those beautiful, intelligent creatures that died because of me. They fell into the chasm. The biggest one I've ever seen. I couldn't stop them. I failed. I look at the sun, watching it rise. And then I let myself fall.
Yep. I don't even know. If you enjoyed it, or would like to give me some constructive criticism, please leave a review! ^_~
