Long Road Home
It was a long road home, filled with all the sorts of obstacles that a man might expect, and plenty that he never thought to. The bird in his pocket would chirp, and wonder where they were going. Sometimes he stopped, and stood in the road, and looked around and wondered if this was even the right road, if this is really taking him home, or maybe further away.
He’s resting at the side of the road when his son approaches him, walks right out of the trees, and when did his son get so big? When did he get so strong? And he gives the bird to his son, because he doesn’t think he was taking her in the right direction, and the son doesn’t have all the answers. But he knows which way to walk. So he takes his son’s hand, and they walk back into the forest.
And when they land in a heap in the dusty office, Sam, Quorra, and Flynn, it’s under the wide eyes of Alan, and Flynn knows that he is home.
