A small steady beat of an unrested heart echoes through his head as the path starts to part. Further and further he runs from home, deeper and deeper into the Unknown... Another poem! I recently asked my father what he thought The Unknown was (after watching the series of course), and what he replied with was extremely intriguing. He said it was adolescence, how Wirt and his step brother Greg are both going through love, loss, hurt, confusion and happiness; learning more and more as they progress through their youth and discovering new things about themselves.
