It's a sad reality. These types of stories always make me think: what if humans never made country lines a construct in the first place? Land was simply free to roam where you please, and people were happy to see you arrive and thanked you for the visit -- wishing you'd come back soon.

You know, if someone turned what you’re saying into a film, it’d end up tagged in the fantasy section. And I really wish that were just a joke.
