Death in the Dust
In a time after the dandelions had blown away, but before the leaves had begun to fall, his father disappeared. One day, they were playing together in the yard, joyously romping about together as always, and the next, he was simply gone. As he grew older, he learned from the others that his father had gone away to fight, something he’d trained for all his life, though his son only remembered the moments they spent together and the companionship he deeply missed. His father had made him feel safe in a world that felt far too large and far too empty with him gone. There is something to be said about a parent who makes their child’s world feel small in a safe way, so that their minds may run free in a world as big as they choose. Now, no matter how many individuals surrounded him, he felt alone and didn’t know why, for he was too small to understand the difference between physical solitude and a lonely heart.
