Arori (Fourth Piece)
Well it's science. It's true, and often times quite reliable it seems, until it's overturned. Well actual science is, not pseudoscience but that's an entirely different matter... anyways I never really took much interest in it until they began studying me and I've found it's quite interesting.
And science would say you can't be sitting there.
Very true and I would certainly agree with that. But you're talking to me just the same.

Look, you don't have much time. I understand how important it is to all of you. Every time you look over your shoulder, it's chasing you, like some monster in the night.There was that melodic giggle. Every time she laughed silver shot out her eyes and her skin glittered silver specks. I didn't understand quite what was so funny but then again I didn't have the luxury of lounging on the moon every night.
Don't get angry. In due time, sweetheart. In due time, you will understand this and so much more. My mom was always saying that, when you get older. I rolled my eyes. She stirred a toe in the night sky and black ripples circled out as if she was dipping her toe in a pool. Come see me again and I'll bring you something to help.
When?
You'll know when. And you'll know just what to bring.
The meetings and no information. I shrugged my shoulders. Maybe I just wouldn' come back if it really wasn't worth my time. I was so tired of the struggle between the imaginary and reality. I just needed to accept what all adults accept sooner or later, there is no magic. Only bills and work shifts.
