Memories
An Animal Crossing* fanfiction by DoktorSeven
A soft, white January snow is falling.
As of today, I have lived in the town of Glee for six months. It was hard to believe that it was six months ago that I met Pinky for the first time, on an errand Tom Nook gave me. Strange, though, that I cannot remember what my errand was that involved the love of my life.
I wonder if she still remembers what I was doing?
Alas, I now fear that she can no longer even remember me.
She is better today, out of her bed and listening to the radio, sitting in her chair and staring out into the soft, white January snow. I quietly pull up a chair beside hers to join her snow-watching.
As she watches the snow fall outside, I can only watch its reflection in her big, beautiful eyes. Yet those eyes are different now, eyes that used to be filled with life, with passion, have become soft and sad. They are losing their energy, their passion...
their life...
"Isn't the snow beautiful, cubby?" she says quietly, her voice only a whisper in the winter wind. Her voice is such a rare thing to hear these days, which is odd to anyone who knew her before... she loved to talk, and I loved to sit and listen to her every word. How wonderful it was to hear that voice again! I have not heard her speak a word in more than a week.
"It is indeed beautiful, Pinky. I --" My voice loses its strength as Pinky suddenly turns her head from the window and the snow towards me. She looks at me, but not with the loving, caring look she gave me before.
She looks at me, and doesn't know me.
I sigh and get up. Pinky's glance follows me as I move in front of her. Gently, I bend down and kiss the top of her head, making sure I avoid the injury that made her this way.
If I had only stayed with her that afternoon, one week and five days ago.
A soft, white January snow falls as I wake up from a dream.
I am holding Pinky in my arms. She is smiling and laughing, and talking about how she will one day be famous. Soft, white snow covers her head...
and as it continues to snow with Pinky in my arms, the snow continues to cover her until all I am holding is soft, white snow, where Pinky was before. I wake from the dream crying.
Filbert meets me at my mailbox with a sad expression on his face.. But I already know what he will tell me. I knew before I even got out of bed.
The soft, white January snow is all that's left, covering the memory of brighter, warmer, happier days.
