EPILOUGE
Date Unknown
On a weed and wildflower covered hillside there is a single tombstone, marking the spot were two graves lay. You might not recognize the spot for what it is if you were to come across it, for the grass has long ago grown thick over the once freshly turned earth, and the words on the tombstone have almost completely eroded away.
If you stick around long enough you are sure to see a young woman with dark hair approach the ancient stone. She will stand there for a while, not speaking a word to the two unknown people that lay beneath the earth. Before she leaves she will place at the base of the stone five roses: two red, two white, and one pink.
This woman will walk back down the hill and join the two people who are waiting for her. One is a tall, equally young man with dark hair and eyes as blue as the sky overhead. The other is a small child, a boy who shares many features with the man, including his dark hair. Despite the similteries two of his features are different. His eyebrows are long and thick, and his eyes are olive green.
The woman and her companies will leave the hillside, but they will return next year, on this very same day. You’re welcome to stick around if you like, maybe give the woman a nod of greeting as she passes, or perhaps inquire as to who lays beneath that stone.
Or perhaps not.
You are more then free to come back in 60 years, for the stone and the same young woman and man will still be there. Oh, the boy accompying them will be a little older of course, and the writing on the stone will be more faded, but other then that there will be no change.
Then again, you are equally free to leave and never return.
It’s wholly your choice, you know.
