Unknowing
(Flash fic alert)
Closing his eyes, caged the few tears within. He rested by the stone, his mother's stone. It was a grave, carved by inhuman hands; left blank for no one knew what would best be put there. There were flowers, those carved where they would someday underscore a name, someday…
It was always someday.
Until that day came he lay in the stones' shadow, a blanket bundled around his shoulders. It was night of course and like always he stared at the stars. They were beautiful, flecks of silver catching the moonlight and shining down that ghostly light on the world. Things certainly looked different at night, and there were the stars…
He wished he knew why he liked them, who had made him like them.
There was a bark, a whine, Lloyd smiled, stretched and slung the blanket that was hanging from his shoulders over his dog. Noishe wagged his tail as they both shared the blanket and leaned against each other to stare at the night sky. There were a few unknowns in his life, yeah, but there were some things he didn't need to know. Some things so simple that he didn't need to have them explained. Drawing the blanket over Noishe's shoulders, Lloyd smiled, fondly scratched the tuft of green fur between those large silken ears.
Together they sat, side by side, leaning against each other, staring at the stars.
