Epilogue: To See A Blood Moon Before I Die
I step out from the deep darkness of the open portal of the garage door and into the ally, bathed in the blood red light of the dying sun. It is a deep blood red dying light, forcing the casting of the deepest shadows in memory. I look down the ally to the black silhouettes against the deep red sky. All the buildings are a deep huge of red, and it is hard to see much in this light. I would much like to get a better view of the sky. I crawl on top of the garbage can and up the side of my garage, to the roof that is facing the wrong direction, to the boy that we sent up there to ostracize. He looks over at me as I pull myself up to the top. He is sitting and He to is bathed in the red light. I walk over to him and stand beside him looking into the red horizon. There is another person here. She walks over to stand beside me "what is this" she asks me in a heavy south American accent "This is a sun set" I tell her as she puts her hand on my arm. The sun is obscured behind a tall thick patch of trees, it cannot be seen. It is setting in the wrong place again. I look at all the deep red around me and it reminds me of a Moon I once saw. "You know what I want to see before I die" I say, the boy looks up at me from his seat "A Blood moo-" I start but am cut off sharply by a speeding are pulling into a screeching turn, we all look in unison, I go back to speaking, "A Blood Moon " I say, A vision of the blood red moon in the sky screams threw my head. "What is that" the girl asks me "It is when the Moon turns Blood red" I tell her "I would much like to see one again before I die". The Girl The Boy and I sit and watch the sky die, and I wish for the Blood red Moon to come before I die.
