Week 21: One Must Tire
Week 21: One Must Tire
Hand-drawn illustration based upon an original short story, newly concocted for each week of the year 2022. Comes framed exactly as the pictured example with the story in its entirety inscribed upon the back of the frame.
Theres a man out there
Almost too small to see
But he looks just like
Everything I’ve wanted to be
His back towards me
Silhouette cut by the sun
I make my way toward him
But he starts to run
I drop my possessions
And start to give chase
He’s quicker than I
So I pick up my pace
Following every twist and turn
Soon one of us must tire
But It’ll be neither he nor I
There’s no way to exhaust this fire
