He looked all around him. He wasn't sure what it was. He just felt this gaping void. Unsure what it was, he got up, and looked ahead. The road was empty. He looked behind; the wind had dusted away his footprints. There was no trace of him, or his journey. By his sides, he saw the people he had made his journey with. Some were soldiering on with him, most were taking their diversions. There were roughly the same number of people now, as there had been at the start. Some of the faces had changed, however.
It had been quite an interesting journey, so far. Lately, the road hadn't changed much. There was no scenery in sight, and the sky was always a dull grey. Nothing like the beginning, where the terrain kept changing, and the skies would turn from bright blue to black with streaks at a moment's notice.
Maybe it was this monotony that had triggered it. Maybe a distraction was needed. Maybe, he just wanted to add to the scenery.
Whatever it was, there was just this hole, and all he could do was walk on.

true, then maybe he just wants to add to the scenery. will ask him and tell you :-)
Missing the past?
On a very superficial level, the changing terrain and the color of the skies versus the lack of scenery and the monotony of colors reminded me of my first impression of arid California in contrast to green and hilly Pittsburgh. Of course that was not what you meant :P
nice post. And it's for you to make the journey interesting!
@nandini
