Is the figure death. Leading Ray on. Scramm mentioned that maybe the walk had just begun when he set out to die. Did most see something like this? The ones given a chance to keep walking?
Does the figure represent the people he met. The ones that pushed him forward and kept him moving, keeping him moving. In that way is the figure life, because without it, without one more thing he would stop.
Does he run towards death or run towards life. He doesn't even know.
We'll scrape our shoes on the stars and hang upside down from the moon.
There was still so far to walk.
