catch up

Rudy was relatively close to his room, looking up beyond to the night sky.  The last few nights had left him restless, dreams that he could never retain more than the faintest memories undoubtedly waking him up at some point.  Eventually, he would go back to sleep but it took time and left his mind wandering at points in the day.  Familiar scents, almost seen faces but never quite enough to tell who.  Just bits and pieces to give his mind something to try and grasp with no success.

The large moon held its own secrets.  Something about it that called all the strangeness upon the land.  How Rudy hoped to see some of the things he’d heard talked about.  His eyes moved away from the moon as he spotted movement, “Hey, Tika,” he called out on spotting his adopted sister, “haven’t seen much of you lately.” Getting up he would move to close the distance between them, tail wagging in friendly greeting.

“How have you been doing?” How had she been doing?  He should have gone to see her more recently after waking from his coma.  A number of bad things had happened to family so why hadn’t he checked on her?  Someone would have told him if there had been a problem though, right?
