Everything was still, as if time itself had stopped, as she silently walk on the endless plain. There was no wind, no tension, and no voices. Just a little, her spirit dampened at the thought of being all alone, without contact and without relations.

She raised the crumpled calendar to eye level and narrowed her eyes. Maybe, she thought, if you stare hard enough something will appear.

"As if…" she replied to herself.

Even with the feeling of loneliness and insecurity gulping her mentality, somehow, somewhere deep inside, she had this resolution.

"For whom am I doing this for? Who is Zephyr? Why is it me?"

She couldn't help but ask these questions that pinned itself to the walls of her heart and mind, even if no one answers.

Silently, she picks up her pace, walking and walking like a madmen. Her body seems to have a will of it's own as it guided her, like instinct, without a moment to spare. She could feel it in her bones and flesh, this tingly sensation coursing throughout her body.

"Close! Very Close! Hurry! Hurry!"

She did not know who's voice it was nor did she have the thought to question it. Her body just kept on moving until there came a sudden halt. She opens her mouth and took in air to rejuvenate herself. Apparently she had been holding her breath this whole time.

Finally looking up, she saw nothing. Her mind, however, was telling a different story. She raised both her hand and push against the open air. There was the sound of creaking and a flash of a door. Then nothing.
Just as the title suggest. This is a submission for $techgnotic for her Odyssey into 2012.

I see you did something similar to what I did, except I had thoughts running through the main character's head. Nice work.
