I couldn't write about this theme without talking about this very specific character. He is the one whose face comes to my mind every time.
Rules followed here : None of the Soras should appear in at least one prompt (YESSS A NEW RULE)
Theme : Sunset
When did he start to enjoy watching the sunset so much? When he was Somebody, he did not care much about it. Sun rose, sun set, end of the story.
But now, whenever he had some free time at the end of a day, he would climb up this clock tower here in Twilight Town, and eat his ice-cream while watching the sun set. He's been having the same routine for more than… Seven years now? Time really flew.
But why would he come here, sitting alone day after day?
He guessed that was a friendly reminder that life was not waiting for him. In those seven years, he had time to see toddlers grow up and turning old enough to play without supervision. He had time to see the lady selling him the salty but sweet treat grow older, her face slowly wrinkling. He had time to see couples get together, break up, find someone else. All along the ticking of the clock on his back.
Life went on. His had stopped so long ago, and he who had feared more than anything in his life to be insignificant, forgotten, watched on a daily basis how life had made its way without him, how useless his existence really had been.
He did not really believe in second chances. He knew that this life of Nobody would probably not mean anything either. He had no home, he had no friends. He only had a job to keep him busy until something or someone put an end to him.
But there were days where he wished he could have someone to share ice-cream with. Someone who would care about him, someone who would made him feel significant again. Someone who would remember him.
Someone to make the sunset of his life a bit brighter.
"Bet you don't know why the sun sets red. You see, light is made up of lots of colors. And out of all those colors, red is the one that travels the farthest."
*cries in a corner*
It was pretty interesting to write a prompt without actually naming the character. I like writing in 'non-conventional' styles occasionnally. This is obviously set before Days. A few years before, really.
See you tomorrow~
Let's play a game! I tell you tomorrow's theme and you tell me what you think it could be about. (even if you read this long after the next prompt is posted, you can still play! Leave a review about what/who you think it might be about, then read the next one to check. I would be so interested to know about what comes to your mind with the themes!)
Next theme : Easter Bunny
