This is an idea that I have been harboring for a while now. I hope you enjoy it and I hope that I remain inspired to write it.
Qotd- What animal did I draw today? If you get anywhere near the answer, I'll give you a cookie.
INTRODUCTION
I find myself hidden away in the shadows. They drape over me, cloaking me in stiff silence so that my presence goes unnoticed. Beyond me are figures.
Once upon a time, I could decipher the codes which told me what the differences were between them, but now they mesh together into a single unit, indistinguishable.
Within the crowd before me, I see an almost familiar form. I nearly jump from my hiding to grasp it, but I stop just in time. A trick of the eyes, it is yet another drone. How long I have yearned for familiarity and for how long shall I suffer this agony of loneliness?
I stifle myself and push my body deeper into the opaque curtains of shade. There are noises which come from their mouths but I cannot bring myself to focus on their banter.
Not until three silhouettes take the stage do I pay attention. I know that this is what is most important. Nothing but these words matter to me now, nothing. Depending on what is said, I know the fate of my world will change for either the better or the worst.
For some time one of the forms is talking but makes no attempt to talk of what is most important, but eventually it speaks of what I have been waiting to hear.
I listen, that last fragile piece of hope hanging by a thread, dangling over a schism of emptiness. Will it fall or will it stop breaking?
"I do."
It falls, and so do I.
