Sylvandre - A Journal Entry: #1
Jan 9 11:30:59 2003

In the 23rd day of Alexander, these thoughts were forged:

The trip to Truce was quite shabby in a sense, not in
nature but in terms of mode of transportation. It was
a quite frightening thing, sailing in a this huge boat
with wood aged beyond dating and leaks so numerous one
would lose track only minutes into counting them. Yet
despite all these fallacies, that I am certainly not
accustomed to, I found the sealife to be quite refreshing,
in the sense that it was a new thing to me to experience.

Even though, I did find much to complain about, with the
shortages of fresh water, or hard biscuits that became
my main diet, I found the sea to be a source of solace.
It didn't remind me of home, for there the waters were
still and without life, and I think that's why I enjoyed
the trip so much, it was a delving into routine, but also
an escape from a rather troubling familiarity I have been
diseased with.

I miss home, only because I know I can never go back.
