As the children play

[shards-of-alice.livejournal.com]

[Sunday, June 20th (Day 385)]
[Just past midnight, the woods outside of Excolo]

I feel my lips move but the words don't want to come out, the sounds grabbed up and gobbled by the nighttime shadows.  It's darker now and I don't know why.  When my voice comes out, when I make it come out - "Micah?" - it's so small I can barely hear it, so small and alone.

Alone.

And that's when I know why it's dark, that's when I know why it feels like nothing but me and woods and darkness, stretching on into forever.  Because I can't see him, because I can't see his colors anymore, even though he was so bright before in the dark.  Because Micah's gone.

( "Micah?" )
