Just In The Wind For Awhile.

Have you ever noticed that when people get upset, they stop hearing what you're actually saying behind your words? they stop seeing the most miniute  facial motions. To busy being concerned. 

They'll figure it out. I have my own things to worry about. like replacing my spacesuit, I've grown a bit tall for it.

Simon

Made me sit down and talk to him today. Wouldn't look him in the eye, too many things he's hiding, can engulf me, make me lost for half a day. His shoes are easier to bear.

Simon talked about dreams, and fragmented memories, even wandered into psysic abilities for awhile. Kept coming back to me.

Simon gave me some paper, and a few of KayleeSimons pens. Told me I could draw whatever I liked. A apology, of sorts, for all the talking, I suppose. Simon's a good brother. He tries so hard.

I drew him the illistrations that went with the story I gave them. Pictures of the dark, cold, tower, the tiny window that from, you could sometimes see a star, or a spotlight shining. I even drew a picture of the children, lying down to sleep on their first night. The first, and last time, that they would all see each other again.

Four dead. 

Two turned.

One insane,

one rescued,

and five, trapped in the tower, forgetting what the sky felt like.

I know. But no ones asked.

I'm cuddling sweet, sweet Allie right now. Let the grownups play knights and supers. The children need some quiet time now. especially with all the new friends that we'll be making soon.
