“Since My Revolution on the Road“

Since my revolution on the road, my life has changed, but not in the way I expected. My victory was quick and decisive, with few casualties. One would think that would make me a hero. Instead, I am fleeing for my life, hiding when I can, but never knowing who to trust. There is enough money on my head that even a “friend” might be tempted to betray me. So, I’m on my own, hiding in forests and caves, dashing through waterways to throw off the scent of the hounds that are on my trail. And in the moments I stop for breath, I’m left to wonder. Was it worth it, which means, did I do anyone any good? Was I fighting for a lost cause that will never be found? The answer? If I live to find it, I will let you know.
