Mommy.

He led the quest.

He didn't- couldn't cry.

He was the hero.

He didn't want- need to cry.

It was his destiny

Fates had woven his thread

Split his thread apart

From the only real family he had

As soon as his eyes closed, he'd see the flash of light

not Minotaur but light

the lightning bright flash that stole his mother

the lightning thief

He missed her.

He wanted a hug

For her to say it was all

okay

when it wasn't

okay

at all

He'd wake up crying

Hide in his pillow

He wanted his mom

Mommy.

A/N This is my first drabble. It felt SO GOOD, loved writing it! Maybe that's me 'burning the midnight oil.'

I'd like to point out the title is from Mysterious Benedicts Society by Trenton Lee Stewart and this style of writing was inspired from side by side by ButterflyFlyToMe, which is amazing.

Please PLEASE review, even to tell me it was stupid, ahhh I need reviews omnomnom.

But I think I need some sleep too.
