There once was a man who lived in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. His name was Billy. He was used to living alone, although he enjoyed spending time in the forest surrounded by all the creatures you can ever imagine.
Like his father, Billy was a lumberjack who had always lived in the mountains. His best friends were coyotes, his enemies were mosquitos and the only thing that worried him was waking up too late and missing the sunrise.
But everything changed one day.
Billy was staring at the sky when all of a sudden, a strange silhouette approached him. He had nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. - He was perplexed.
—I've been waiting for years to meet you, Billy. I have always wanted to talk to you but I was waiting for the right moment —the strange figure said.
Billy couldn’t move. A part of him was in shock and the other one wanted to scream. He couldn’t pronounce a word.
—I’ve been to so many places, Billy, but I never encountered what I was looking for... you.
—Me? —Billy said.
—Yes, you. Since the moment you were born you were meant to do great things. I’ve been watching you for decades and I recently realized I shouldn’t wait any longer.
—What is it that you want from me? Who are you? —Billy said after finding some courage.
—I’m in everything you see and you don’t see. Everything you do and undo… Everything you understand and misunderstand… Everything you have… It’s because of me.
Billy couldn’t understand what was happening. He was still speechless and breathless and he could barely move.
—Why do you want to know who I am if you already know it? You can’t just ask and answer what is obvious.
As the silhouette vanished, Billy started to realize he was not dreaming.
—Who is this? —Billy screamed.
—What are you looking for?
Silence filled the moment as the sun started to set.
A day passed and Billy decided to watch the clouds from the same place as the day before, to see if he was lucky or unlucky enough to meet that strange “silhouette” again.
