Breathless we stood atop the hill we climbed. The view captivated us. Everything seemed so distant. The houses in the valley looked like toys a young child would use for their dolls. The wind kissed our skin. I always felt disconnected from society when I looked down on the cities below.

     “It all looks so tiny” my friend said.
     “It really makes you think about how small the world actually is…how small we actually are,” I said.
     We began our descent. Our feet slowly stepped downwards, back to reality. The scenery disappeared behind trees and neighboring hills as we worked our way back. I looked up at where we were standing. The lone tree upon the hill swayed in the breeze, almost as if it was waving goodbye.
