for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand

Tuesday, September 1, early afternoon
The Park (in a place that is hopefully not too zombiefied?)

I went with Daddy three times and Kitty twice and I gotta go by myself. Gotta gotta gotta. Can't be scared of the park.

And I'm not really by myself 'cause I've got Snuffles and Mr. Tibbs with me for company and they're both in my bag with all my ( Read more... )

I put up the sign saying I'm closed. I don;t I'll be reopening today, and i'll probably do another half day tomorrow. Just not enough customers to stay inside on such a nice day. I compromised by missing my usual lunch time so that'll have to be enough to quiet the little niggling voice in the back of my head.

Grabbed something at the cafe an went to that park I saw when I was lookin at the church. An there'sa prefect spot to eat too. With a bench even. Course someone else's got there first. Little red haired girl, bit older than Cy but I can't tell how much older. She seems a bit sad but determined to try bein happy in spite of it.

An all of a sudden I miss my baby brother. A lot. I sniffle a bit an raise my hand towards my face only I gotta cardboard container so I can't. I put it down on the bench. An clear my throat. "Um. Hi? you mind if I share the bench with you?"

I go up on the bench again to put the necklace around Snuffles because he likes sitting on the bench more than he likes sitting on the grass. I have to be veryvery careful because the flowers might break and because I want to look only at the flowers and not anything else and so I don't see that there's anybody else there till there's a big box next to me and a voice saying

"Um. Hi? you mind if I share the bench with you?"

It's a lady. With...blue hair? I started to be scared but the blue hair is so pretty that it makes me grin. But...is she sad?

"Um. Sure."

I start to put Snuffles on the other side of me to make room for the lady but then I think maybe he'd better sit between us.

Uh-oh. She is sad.

"Um...Are you okay?"

The kid jerks her head up to look at me. Guess I broke her concentration on her game. Oops. She stares at me like she's never seen hair like mine before. It's cute on her; in an adult it wouldn't be. I smile at her. or try to. I can feel it not quite making it all the way.

Um. Sure.

She starts to move her stuffed animal away so's there's more room on the bench, but then she changes her mind. I perch on the end of the bench and try to discreetly swipe the tears out of my eyes. The kid notices. She leans forward a bit an hesitantly asks, Um...Are you okay?

"Yeah....I'm fine..."I start with...Then I remember that that's a rotten answer to give a kid. So I try again. "i'm just a little sad. it's nothin' big. I just miss my brother is all."

I hold onto Snuffles when the lady sits down, and I look at her. No, she's just a person, not a god or a special thing like Kitty. She's just a person with blue hair. A really sad person. And not really a grownup, either. She's younger than Zann and younger than almost all of Kitty's people. Not young enough to go to school but sort of a kid maybe. I move Snuffles closer to me so there's more room for her.

"Yeah....I'm fine..."I start with...Then I remember that that's a rotten answer to give a kid. So I try again. "i'm just a little sad. it's nothin' big. I just miss my brother is all."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Is he really far away?"
