Cities.
Sometimes, the bigger they are, the bigger my fear becomes. Though sometimes, meaning not always, I come to grow fond on how drastically it had changed for the win. Modernization was the one thing I can't ever whine to, more or less, live with the people who strove to build corporations and oodles and oodles of god knows what under the same roof.
My mom... let's just say she wasn't opposed to the deal. Actually, while I was out with Dad down under, she was out trying to facilitate her workers down at G Corporation's department somewhere in Tokyo, Japan.
So I bet some of you know how this story goes. Luckily for me, I wouldn't have to tell, because by then I would've raged on about it, and how it truly meant for me to find out that great son of a gun who exploded my mother.
I went back to Germany a couple of days after the Sixth Tournament; it wasn't nice and I didn't get to see Kazuya's downfall that dreadful night. But hey, there're always second chances. For me, there were myriads. I just had to find out how to jump on them.
So here, I'm living with my grandmother for the whole stay, milk and cookies surely tackling me once I arrived. It's pretty awesome. The countryside life has never been exciting like this ever before.
One night as I strolled above the grass, I came to view Grandma's tool shed. Since it wasn't clear, the moonlight became the source of my illumination. Creaking the door open, I saw memories topping off each other as dust bunnies squeezed through the edges and spaces.
Right now, the window's transparency aided the piercing of the light; I had seen so much.
My old drum set was still there; almost good as new, if it weren't for the particles that surrounded it. Still went perfectly fine the way I laid my eyes on the beauty.
I pressed a finger on it as I swept across its surface, tapping the cymbals with the shortness of my fingernail, dropping few of the dust it had accumulated.
How it brought back memories, no one knows what this did to me when I was still a pre-teen.
A/N: Any comments about the base of the building? Ha ha ha. I'll be posting some soon at least until this gets a lot of views and all. Don't hesitate to drop by a review! I'm always welcome to suggestions, as well. Minimal flaming, please!
