Journey

A boy awakened from his sleep, tired and drowsy. His head was full of fog, unable to comprehend where he was. This is common to those who rise quickly from a deep sleep. Around him the world was still. The canvas tent shuddered at his movements as he lifted himself from the warm ground he was just asleep on. Next to him a body laid silent, another boy, dreaming of the glories of the day to come. But this day was far from glorious.
