Quest

I follow a scent.
Nose to the ground
pawing at clues
get distracted
...something smells like...

I dunno, something more exciting

What was I chasi-
Oh, there it is again.

keeps popping up
hooking me
there's
so
many
leads!

I faintly remember
the reasons for my quest.
For some reason, it is important.
More important than
...well, than anything else.

But oh!

The world is a tantalizing
frustrating
disappointing
red place.
