On His Hike
Dermot had been hiking for just under an hour. He started to break a sweat, and could feel the burn of a workout beginning to take hold in his muscles.
Despite his struggle, he powered through, enjoying the stunning scenery as he breathed in fresh air. He closed his eyes and smiled as he took a deep inhale of the scent of wild grass and oak trees. Suddenly, his eyes shot awake. The smile vanished from his face.
