Max was the deer nobody wanted to be. He
was so lost, he was so alone, and it just seemed
like he could never be happy. He had nobody he could turn to, he had no home,
and he was hungry. But, he was determined to keep going.
People would look
at him and stare, but he became immune and kept going as if a whirlwind was
coming. He was a walking ladder. Defined as someone who could help
others and be steady.
Max could never
understand his own strength. He got up day after day, but he felt
so weak. But then one day Max realized, maybe the ladder he seen wasn't a
ladder at all.
Ah, yes, the ladder as metaphor. That determination and then, that realization ... or that path to realization.

You started a story character then wandered away. You can write a complete well shaped story in six sentences using the Pixar Studio approach: http://www.aerogrammestudio.com/2013/03/22/the-story-spine-pixars-4th-rule-of-storytelling/
