Rapprochement

Back then, hiking had just gotten popular and us youths, with not much to do, started walking, walking up and down the hills that make this a valley and each of us had a different reaction when we reached a peak for the first time. For one, she found the sight of the city sunken between the hills to be breathtaking, later saying how small we are before the grandness of things. For another, he found the blurry fog that enveloped the city to be alarming and a cause for concern, which could kickstart a career in environmentalism. A further another did not even look at the city but at the sky and mused that no matter how high up they’d walked it didn’t seem like they’d reached any closer, wondering where the horizon between sky and space truly held. The last other pondered on how he could, feasibly, kill each of them, make it home, and no one would be the wiser.
