January 2nd, 2010 – Decade
A decade was a long time to live for a Jellicle.
Old Deuteronomy had lived much older – so much that he was a legend to those outside the tribe – but making it to your tenth birthday was a celebratory moment. But it was also a sad moment.
Skimbleshanks reached his tenth birthday on a Thursday, an ordinary day for many. He was on his way home on the train, quite excited. A birthday meant a wonderful cake from his mate, Jennyanydots, and a loving family gathering. It was really all he needed. That's why he loved birthdays.
Jennyanydots was cooking cakes, hoping they were ready for his arrival and trying to make this a great day for her dear. But a nagging in the back of her mind brought her to the fact that they were both getting very old, and… it hurt to even think about losing him. That's why she feared birthdays.
A decade was a long time to live for a Jellicle. But it wasn't long enough.
A/N: I know, it's short and kinda sad. But deal with it!
