I wondered how long it would take me. Finally fell victim to the drabble bug. Honestly, I would've written a longer oneshot, but my mind is drained. This was inspired after watching the "Kids" OVA. If someone could review and recommend a setting, I could extend it to said oneshot (possibly).
Long Ago
Stories from an old, kind man. That's all they were.
As they laughed and played innocently each time, chiding each other over whether he was their grandfather, great-grandfather, or possibly something even farther that was beyond comprehension to their innocent minds, all he could do was grin; grin after being reminded of how old he really was. And they would smile after he relayed another to them, pointing and giggling.
But they weren't just stories.
They were real. They were cherished tales from a life he was long-removed from.
A life he would live a hundred more times if possible.
