Life

is a contest

that Percy Jackson somehow managed to get first place in.

That is, until someone steals the prize

{he thought it was his}

and everything

he thought

he knew

is gone.

Lost

taken

stolen

from him.

When they tell him the news,

he is holding

a card.

With him,

and Annabeth,

and Maddie,

and Luke,

and Joey,

and little Katie.

{so small, yet so determined. the doctors say she held on the longest}

They are wearing Santa hats

and the card is the simplest thing in the world

but what it contains is the hardest to come by,

something so simplistic,

yet so meaningful,

and he is not sure he will ever feel it again.
