This is another series, I hope to play with. This one, a series of Niko POV moments as he remembers moments from his life as they relate to Cal. The stories will take place at random points in their lives, from the time Cal was born to present day.
This here is the introduction. The first story in the series, "Hero" will follow.
I Remember…
I remember my past. Some of those memories living in vivid detail. Every thought, every feeling, every word, etched into my mind forever. Most of those memories, the good, the bad and the ugly, involve my brother, Cal. From the moment I set eyes on him, when Sophia tossed him into my arms at barely minutes old, he became my world. I was mother, father, brother, teacher, comforter, protector and when needed, disciplinarian.
I can recall every last one of Cal's milestones. I can detail his best moments and his worst. Not one item of importance ever passed me by without becoming imprinted into my psyche. From the first word he ever spoke as a child, to the first word he spoke upon returning from Tumulus…and events between and since, I was there. I remember. We keep no photo albums. We maintain no online iclouds of memories. What we have is with us always. What I have is the most significant part of who and what I am and will always be. What I am, I am because of Cal.
I remember…because he is my brother.
