Description Looks like he landed a thousand years too late!
I began this at work, taking a short break from writing, on account of I hadn't finished anything in a bit It's all landscapy and stuff and has that whole ruin theme I'm fond of I was inspired by Machu Picchu
This might actually prove to be a tie-in with the Akiva Akkad story I'm working on, we'll see

not really, but, well apparently to some degree...i have been in high places before and looked down, and felt okay as long as i was secure, holding on to the railing, etc., ...i was in the national tower at Gettysburg before they took it down, for one, and i was in the Eiffel Tower but we didn't go all the way to the top, (me and my buddies) we didn't  have enough francs

*looks it up* Yowza, I didn't even know that tower had existed, but it's a pity that it's gone, it looked so cool!

Are you sure? It was pretty cool! When the parks service bought the land it was on the just shoulda kept it. The only thing that I think really diminished history is when you bulldoze it, like Wal*Marts did with George Washington's birthplace.

and I remember in the Army, in Korea there was this mountainside that had old stone steps that went up...just on and on...even then, when i was actually in great shape and did pt all the time...at one point on those steps, you'd hit muscle failure, it was crazy

 Yipes! I remember when I was 13 we went on
this trail in a place called Serano Canyon, and we only realized
once we were on it that it was a 9 mile hike. Parts of the trail
we so steep that we had to slide down them on our asses!
