"" The Locust always wanted to know the world.
As the years passed, his idea of jumping around the globe was growing bigger,
anxiety was the seed of the blooming desperation as time passed by
One day, The Death comes to visit and offers the Locust the hability of having
the greatest jumps ever with some new leather wings, so he could give that lap around the world.
As the locust was filled with euphoria and his tears were bathing the round eyes, Death clarifies:
"Wings shall be given, but when this point is again reached,wings and Locust with me will be taken"
The Locust accepts and starts speeding towards east, having in mind "what's next? what's beyond the horizon?".
Everytime he reached the ground, it was just an inspiration to jump stronger as he was amazed with this new ability of chasing the house of the sun.
Many places were left behind by the premise of a bigger purpose.
He didn't rest, he didn't ask questions.
His thrill was about to end as he left the ground for the last time, because he saw death again in the horizon,
who was waiting for him as she promised, ready to take him for the next page.
In this final jump, The Locust lost interest in the horizon; he knew that nothing faithful was there.
Anxiety erased the thousand roads he could had walked and be claimed as their.
What his eyes could not see, his hand could not reach. ""
