Of Men and Beyond

By Yevgeny Zagayevsky

The life is a journey of million routes. This story is about an ordinary man named Mike who works as a civil engineer in a middle size company. He embarks on an unexpected trip from his home town in Canada to a remote village in Thailand. His trip is not motivated by his curiosity to explore that part of the world, but rather by a noble cause to find his girlfriend who disappeared in the jungle. Later, he realizes that there are more hidden secrets awaiting him in Thailand than he expected. Mike has to overcome different obstacles to rescue his beloved one. His entire experience of traveling becomes a journey of self-discovery. The trip touches his hidden desires, allows re-examining his values, and helps sort out his past to better steer his future. This adventure of the man's soul would not have been possible without presence of mysteries, love, and struggle with the self and others along the journey. This story is my first attempt to write amateur novellas based on my accumulated wisdom, travel experience, and daily observations of the surrounding world.
