A Test of Will
The trail was no small feat. Jagged rocks, steep inclines, and uneven footing painted a path that would challenge even the most seasoned hikers. I glanced at Alan, wondering if this might finally be the moment he’d pause or reconsider. But he didn’t. Instead, he pressed forward with unwavering resolve, his strides sure and measured.
Each step he took was filled with intention, his posture steady, his breathing controlled. The effort was visible, but he never faltered. People we passed looked on in astonishment, unsure whether they should offer help or simply watch in awe. I followed behind him, stunned not just by his physical ability, but by the mental toughness that drove him. This wasn’t about proving anyone wrong—it was about reclaiming something for himself. His courage lit a fire in me, pushing me to climb alongside him, one step at a time.
