Chapter 6: Interpreting art

As the days went on, they became extremely close. They found themselves mostly in each other company, darting around town, acquiring new memories and making the best of life. They seemed to both have a smile tattooed across their faces. Today, they mutually decided to examine the new interpretive art fountain hipster instalment in the city centre next to the large lagoon.

As they made their way down chatting idly they arrived at the interpretative 'fountain'. To Cronus' eyes it was a large oblong piece of granite with large holes attached to a glass blob with metal in it, with water overflowing around the sides. It was a monstrosity to behold. On the other hand Kankri was intrigued. He stood by it staring, attempting to decipher the meaning to the chaos.

After the duration of what seemed a lifetime and a half Kankri reached a conclusion.

"It appears to be a representation of two cosmic entities always separated. As you can see all elements are evident, the holes in the stone represent air; the stones represent earth; the water well, represents water; and fire is present as the metal and glass because fire is destructive, like humans; metal and glass and man-made materials, thus it representing fire. It is a very abstract piece which conveys the message that nature was here first, hence it is on top and man came after, and we cannot live in harmony unless we strike a balance. This is why the fountain sculpture is very fragile in its shape and construction, and why the water flows evenly through the art work" Kankri concluded. Cronus laughed, intrigued by his theory.

The two once again, left the artwork and ventured out onto the banks of the harmonious river. They sat laughing about stupid things, genuinely enjoying the time they spend together. Cronus looked at Kankri and smiled, he was amazing in every way. Suddenly his phone buzzed and the perfect world he built up in his head crashed. He pulled his phone out and read the message. Everything that he was going to say and explain to Kankri was now lost. Hopefully it could be over soon and he could resume his life as it once was. It was a text from his mother.

Cronus comes from a 'Nobel' family of stuck up, heavy Catholics. This is one of the reasons for his rebellious attitude. His family are extremely judgemental, his mother the worst. All the time he would have to hear her talking about how his friends were too feminine, he was told of for making friends t=with the 'lower' classes. There was no freedom in his 'perfect' family. Every Sunday as they left for church he would have to hear her drone on about how she saw so and so doing something with someone, or that so and so was wearing this or that. Cronus hated his family and their beliefs more than anything; this was why he left as soon as he could. He believed he had broken contact with the sinners years ago, yet the message from his dreadful mother sat in the palm of his hand.

Somehow he knew his perfect world couldn't last forever.
