April 12th
April 12th a day he wish he could skip. 156 years, it still burned. His children fighting, his reflection arguing with him. Another person that shared his body, but spoke through the mirrors, because Alfred would not allow him out. The United States of America refused to allow its own destruction. But he had to admit destruction came, and he had to fight to rebuild.
Alfred sat on his back porch, whiskey on ice, in hand. His ancient Virginia home with its 60 rooms, 12 bathrooms, an oversized kitchen, Tony attic and his locked basement of memories. Looking out he saw his barns that held many of his children's pets. The 2 large pools, one for swimming, the other connected by an underground tunnel to the ocean for Whale Dude and other water friends. Currently that pool held Vermont's pet lake monster Champ. The large open lawn, where Alexandra and Nome were current playing. This was the home that started as a simple cottage built by the British Empire to raise him as a colony. He took it and expanded first for his 13 children then more and more over again for all his other children as they came.
He lived here almost all his existence, but those 4 years. 4 years his people killed each other. 4 years that ended with the death of one of his favorite bosses and great friend. 4 years when his home was in what others called another country, and he could not return to it.
"Thinking of Abe."
"We can tell your drinking whiskey."
Turning Alfred was graced with a set of his twins. The Carolinas.
"I am fine. It's good to see you. What's up? "
"We came to visit." said North
"We official left once, we wanted to remind you we are not leaving again." said South
"And don't brush it off." Turning the twins and Dad was graced with seeing two more members of family walk through the house.
"Glad to see you make it. Virginia, George"
"Hey North Caro, don't worry the others are on the way." Answers George.
"Others?" How many of his children were coming home?
"All of us that once left" Virginia continued "We want to come home so you know we will never leave again." An agreeing nod went around his children.
Placing his drink down, The United States of America got up to embrace the states that once broke the union. They were his children even when they strayed. They had returned and were never leaving again. He would not ever be that broken again.
