"This too shall pass!" I thought to myself.
It was less of a random thought and more like a desperate, conscious attempt to convince myself to continue. My feet were killing me with every step I managed to force. "Just make it till that big rock and then you can sit down for a while and rest!" one more silly strategy that seemed to do wonders with my will. I felt a small victory when I touched the stone. It was warm and its surface was covered with a bit of sand which I clumsily and quickly brushed away. I exhaled as I sat down and felt immediate tiny relief as the pressure on my feet was eliminated. But just as quickly the feeling of relief was substituted by ongoing ache. I was facing the parking lot where my car was parked just some 200 meters away and just some 5 kilometers further was my home. It was small distance yet today it felt like I have to cross a whole continent to reach my car and home was beyond my reach even if it was just in my thoughts. I still didn't know how I'll convince myself to reach the car. Forget it ! I cant even convince myself to stand on my two feet again and crawling was not an option either. I was so close and at the same time so far from my home. Will I ever make it?
