Clouds drifted lazily across the sky, mindless of the cerulean eyes that tracked their progress. Behind them the back drop had turned from blue to yellow and now seemed to rest amidst a blaze of fiery hues. It was a calm evening, warm without humidity, and the crickets sang to Valeriya as she lay there watching it all pass her by. Birds must live the good life, she thought, happy despite her terrestrial fate. Getting to fly right up there in the good stuff. She rolled away from her inverted position, laying now on her stomach instead of her back. This was not to say that she did not find the lake to be wonderful. In fact, the mysterious attraction it seemed to hold for the local fireflies was one of the reasons she'd been drawn to it in the first place. Right around this time of night was when they would begin to emerge, and she always liked to be there to watch it happen. A handful would become a few dozen, and then a few centuries, before the earth would become a prelude to the coming night, be-speckled with starlight in flickering yellow guise. She sighed happily, tasting the summer in her lungs through the deep inhalation. A certain peace seemed to fill her as well, but it also gave her paws an itch that was bound to send her out to the borders tomorrow, or even beyond, as she'd done occasionally. But thinking of the future seemed to dull the edge of her good mood, so she let those thoughts slip away and returned to the calm of the growing night. "Talk" Think "You" |
