Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ３ － Ｌｕｎａ รՇ๏гms are selfish. Showing off their flashy lightning and taking up the whole sky for themselves. But they're also kind of like me. So much thunder and anger inside. So much sadness. But the difference is they let out their burdens in rainy tears. Fall fall falling from their soft grey clouds. I bottle up my thunder and rain. Hold it inside until it aches. And cry myself to sleep. Tonight is a crying night. Warm, salty tears stream down my light, chocolate brown cheeks. The door creaks open and I hold my breath, peering out from under my blankets. It's just Sol, thank goodness. The small silver lab hops onto my bed and snuggles up next to me. I try to breath through my mouth to avoid smelling his stinky dog breath and bury my face into his silky, shiny fur, glittering in the moonlight. And continue crying feeling the heat of his fury body next to mine. He keeps me anchored to the world that night. - - ₪ I wake up to the sound of the TV droning on about Rahasy's disappearance. I don't know why they're making such a big deal out of it. She'd disappear before, years ago but no one seemed to remember that. Like it was lost in the Lethe. I try not to dwell on it as I pour myself some Honey Nut Cheerios and sit on the couch, watching the news, dripping milk and crispy o's onto the cold leather. My mom has been long gone, off to whatever she does and since today's a teacher work day no school for me. I look out the window gazing at the forest in our backyard. I step outside, cold, crisp air shocks me as I walk out the sliding glass door into our back deck. Sol follows me and together we breathe in the fresh air which smells of rain from last night's storm. I open my eyes. A blue glow flickers in the trees like an azure fire. It glows again then goes out and I collapse, everything goes dark. - - ₪ ❝ ᵀʰᵘⁿᵈᵉʳ, ˡⁱᵍʰᵗⁿⁱⁿᵍ, ᶠˡⁱᶜᵏᵉʳˢ ᵒᶠ ᵇˡᵘᵉ, ᶠᵉᵉˡⁱⁿᵍˢ ⁱⁿˢⁱᵈᵉ ᴼᶠ ʸᵒᵘ. ᴸⁱⁿᵏˢ ᶜˡⁱᶜᵏⁱⁿᵍ ᴵⁿᵗᵒ ᵖˡᵃᶜᵉ. ❞ - - ₪ Whoo! Finished! I'm also working on a new cover for the book so look out for that. I hope you like it so far! Mysterious enough? I'll try to post chapters once a week, lemme know in the comments if you'd like to be notified for when a new chapter comes out! Also the Lethe is a river from greek mythology in the underworld, said to hold all forgotten memories. Just thought that'd be fun to add ^u^ - - ₪ Previous: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/515195311/ Next: N/A
