Camera

What happened to this army who left so much behind?

Some uniforms and belongings seemed old, sun worn, decayed. Others seemed fresh, awaiting their owners return…

I can’t help wondering if the ones behind me knew who these belonged to.

Scarecrow
Inktober 2024

A guard ahead, so still. Was his plan just to scare intruders? I watched patiently for an age before meeting him. He stayed watching even longer. He wasn’t alone. Why were they really here…?

And they seemed to be here for Dad and me.

Rust
Inktober 2024

It was obvious many others had been here before me. The rust and detritus was everywhere. But I now knew they were here with me…

I hadn’t been this close to so many people in a long long time. I had to get away, get ahead.

Camp
Inktober 2024

I made camp on the most intimidating creature I could find. Only those with nothing to fear make camp in the open…

I could see further from atop the stone creature.

But I didn’t like the view. All those days of feeling watched, at last I knew why.

Rhinoceros
Inktober 2024

I found a rhinoceros. It was as still as stone. The first of many silent animals in this forest.

My heart thumped hard when I first saw it. It took a while before I could move and realised it didn’t move at all.

I began to welcome finding more of them.

Uncharted
Inktober 2024

I continued through to the uncharted. But not unobserved.

Journal
Inktober 2024

I found something better than his guidebook: The journal he wrote it from. He’d been here!

This was clearly a message from Dad. His whiskey and his journal.

It said “I was here!l”. And also “Come get me!”

Ridge

Inktober 2024

The road stopped at the edge of a protruding ridge. But the journey continued.

On my own two feet again but scared I might fall... I said to myself, so what’s new, babe? Take it one step at a time.

The journal wasn’t the only gift he left me. Thank goodness for his driving lessons!

All it needed was a charge and my EMF capacitor.

Conveniently the road began at the door.

Racing down the road in a cloud of dust, there was no time to enjoy the view.

Grungy
Inktober 2024

Holes, dilapidation and grunge. A building in the middle of nowhere. Of course I went inside.

I followed the road and the road lead to the building.

There was a space on the far side. Oh boy… And I thought it smelled bad on the outside…!

At this time, I didn’t yet have my father’s guidebook. It wasn’t till later that I had an opportunity to read it.

How I longed at the time for a guidebook, some way to make the journey easier. But as you now know, dear reader, some times things are for the best…

Roam
Inktober 2024

I found the stone markers everywhere I roamed. Their mysterious symbols just outside my understanding. If he followed their hidden wisdom, I would too…
