To Walk Below the Darkened Clouds
Prompt #006: Chorus
Kouji held a professional interest in music; he took guitar lessons once a week and, to an extent, enjoyed them even if had been less over the past few years. Somehow, he had grown to underappreciate them…
…but when he returned to them after the Digital World, he found something attractive in the motion, the mind-blowing symphonies that he tried almost clumsily to mimic; somehow, it was beautiful, soothing and uplifting all the same.
So that weekend he brought his guitar with him, thinking perhaps the music would cheer his brother up as well.
It was a one-man chorus, but his practice was a solo one and for a single audience. Compared to his Sensei, his work was poor, unrefined. But it was the thought that counted. The intention.
And that morning, they both allowed themselves to be lost in the gentle breeze, eyes closed against the clouds.
