Deep Story #103 | at the end of the journey | Solvane

Our island adventure is in its final stages now and the
protagonist has finally reached the end of his journey (or at
least he thinks so), never really leaving his new home. Rather
his mind has set out to explore unknown things. However it’s not
yet clear whether all these experiences affected him negatively
or positively.  In this episode of Simon Rucker’s story you
can learn what awaits at the end of the spiritual journey for the
inhabitants of this so-called paradise. The musical
narrative voice of today's episode comes from Solvane, who
masterfully describes the tense atmosphere with his tracks and
skillfully turns up the suspense.

melodies of the elusive inhabitants of the mountain. Joyful
excitement makes my skin chill. Will they finally come tonight? I
have taken my position with a view over the mountain. High above
my head shines a nearly full moon, intermittently obscured by
clouds.’ I note: ‘my last day on the island: Yesterday finally
the time has come and my strained patience was finally rewarded.
They arrived around midnight. So here I am, writing down my last
words. I suppose the yacht down there in the bay come and search
me, Linea and Anthony a little easier for your technologies.
Please take my message seriously. To understand my warning. I
will not report much from here. It's hard for me to think
straight. All I know is that I did the right thing. I did what I
had to do ... ‘
