Sunburn Blues

She hurt all over, and she didn't know why she hurt all over she just did. Crying as her mother tried to soothe her Vail hardly noticed as Rhy came in and uttered a few words. What was going on with her? It hurt too bad to really talk, and she wouldn't even protest as Motif grabbed her and took her off towards the river. She'd continue to cry as they went, feeling the pain renewed when they had to walk through the sun. Was that it? Was the sun what was hurting her so bad? How could that be? Weren't they friends, the sun allowed her to see, it kept her warm, why would it want to burn her? She'd whimper softly as she was placed gently into the water, the relief was instantaneous. She'd sigh, wanting very much to dunk herself. Thankfully her feet were on the ground, otherwise she would have been terrified. There was no way she could put her head under the water when she didn't know where the bottom was. She felt a lot better, but she was still bright red and it still hurt. She knew she wasn't going to feel good when she got out. "Momma, why's i' hur'?" |
