I have found shelter as I wander. The people here are those I labeled cowards, those stupid enough to think they can simply ignore the Forest but intelligent enough to know it is there, always at the edge of their vision.
Perhaps they are not trying to ignore it, though. Perhaps they know full well the futility of escape and simply want to keep from falling into despair by discussing it too often.
I feel that may be more accurate. I grow to learn more about them the longer I know them, though I have yet to express many of my own opinions. I suppose some aspects of EAT's influence resist that of the Forest.
Regardless, I have grown to respect the people I once called cowards. Now I name them survivors.
