Gravity

by queen du freaks

In the beginning, the plains blacked out the sun... and she saw it, right there, with her own young eyes. Now, older, she's building the first Zion.

B i r d s; The Prologue

"Mommy… mommy…" I kept tugging at her skirt, why wouldn't she answer me? Why? I wanted to know the answer. The birds were choking the sky with their smoke, why would they do this? "Mommy!" I tugged again. "Shh…" she said to me, putting her finger over her lips. "Mommy!" "Sarah… just look. And appreciate… this is… the last of the sky you will ever see."

I didn't completely understand then. I thought that maybe there was just a storm that the birds were bringing… but I could tell it was more, so I was quiet, and I watched in awe. I knew that she was telling the truth, and I would never see the sun…or the moon… or the stars again.

That dream.. I don't know... If it's real or not. Memories and dreams tie together here. Because honestly, you can't tell when you're dreaming and when you're awake... Even when you are in Zion.
