Rain... are you out there?

Comments

I had to. Sorry.

[askytoocruel]

...

ha ha ha

[ys_cant_die]

....what?

[askytoocruel]

... A mirror.

I'm standing in front of a mirror.

[ys_cant_die]

Isn't this peculiar.

My reflection speaks to me.

[askytoocruel]

Like falling into a rabbit hole or was it the ocean?

Do you know if it will rain tonight?

am I the only one who finds this freakin' creepy?

[ys_cant_die]

A rabbit hole, and the ocean.

Rain... I wish it would rain. That would be nice.

It is AMAZING.

[askytoocruel]

The ocean, the ocean... So blue, with so many fish. Island kelpfish, Reef anemone, Longfin pennant, Zebra perch... Have you seen them? Have you seen those fish, swimming in the sunlight?

It's been so long.

ha ha ha! CREEPY, you mean. I enjoy.

[ys_cant_die]

The amazing spectrum of colors under the depths of the ocean blue. I have.

How long has it been? Over six hundred years, it feels...

[askytoocruel]

So free, so happy... The water's too bright. On a boat, far from any land, out of food, out of clean water, staring into that bright, bright ocean, waiting, waiting, waiting, waitin--

I could close my eyes and count the hours. I could close them for just a moment. But not forever. Never forever.

[ys_cant_die]

Lost and waiting, sitting, waiting, standing, waiting, walking, failing, wait.

I don't want to close my eyes.

[askytoocruel]

Close them now. Try to sleep forever. It won't work, but you can try. I can try.

We can try. To sleep.

[ys_cant_die]

To sleep... to wake up later.

Here? Or there?

Try to sleep... it will be difficult... my eyes are closed. I can hear your breathing.

[askytoocruel]

Plug your ears with a bullet.

[ys_cant_die]

Temporary solution. I would grow tired easily.

I do not think I will sleep tonight. Forever.

[askytoocruel]

Then we shall make the world sleep.

[ys_cant_die]

Tonight will bring about a full night's rest.

And in the morning, we shall start anew.
