Ocean and Sky
8. River IV

Rivers ended in oceans, in the end.

Every year now, she sends a paper boat with a lit candle for her aunt.

Every year, she sends another boat as well. She doesn't remember who it's for.

She knows it's for someone.

Sometimes, she sees a black crow following the boats. It's hard to know which one in particular… or maybe all of them. Crows are symbols for death, amongst other things, after all.

Still, that black crow in the sky seems familiar, somehow.

One year, she sends a boat for him.

Maybe he's a lost spirit looking for his home.
