A little whisper in the dark

Everything looks so uphill now. I'm wondering if I should endeavor to complete the climb. The gradient isn't too friendly, and the altitude means lack of oxygen and thus I can't exert myself as hard. But what's at the top of the hill? The climate's cool, and the view is excellent. Probably.

You will never know.

An exerpt from the Old Man and the Sea:

"I wanted to take him fishing but I was too timid to ask him. Then I asked you to ask him and you were too timid."

"I know. It was a great mistake. He might have gone with us. Then we would have that for all our lives."
