New meta?: Take a cart of iron to a new town when the last girl dies

I was a guy and the smith in a little town just getting started. I worked hard all my life but sadly at the tender age of 30 I realized that there were no more girls in our town, no more babies, it would be abandon. So rather than sadly tidy the town and bury everyone I decided to take the horse, load it with iron and set off to find some place that was ALIVE. I would give them the steel and wrought iron that I found and smelted and at lest my work would not be in vein. Perhaps they would kill me, but probably not when they saw my fabulous gifts!

In my mind I was also thinking what if I could meet a girl in that town, and she let me name one of her kids? That would be nice... But I tried to focus on riding and avoiding snakes.

In my travels I found so many towns that had failed, I could have filled my cart with iron and tools 4 times over!

Perhaps, if I was young enough when I found the vibrant town of my dreams, I could come back and gather all the resources!

I could be the strange foreign hero who no one could understand, but who always came with gifts and a smile. Everyone would like me... especially the ladies... But I tried not to dream too much because as I rode on and on... I realized that I was growing old.

Would I even find a lively town filled with people before I died?

I kept going and just as I knew my time was close I saw the signs of a town.

I didn't get to ride in like a hero and show them the iron. I didn't get to meet a girl and name her child. I didn't get to make another trip to bring back more riches to my new home. But, I saw a little girl in a white hat collecting wild milkweed just before I died and she stopped so I know she saw my horse.

They will find the horse running just south of their town. They will wonder if the knife in my pack means I meant to kill. But, they will use the iron, and I hope they make many wonderful things.

I died happy, even though I had to travel so far.

things like this make me wish we could bind papers together to make books ingame!
