Act I Begins

Challenge: Tragedy
Title: Act I
Word Count: 100
A/N: When I think of the word "Tragedy" I can't help but think of plays. So, I incorporated that into my drabble. I also really wanted to try doing an exactly 100 word drabble. It looks long, but only because I really spaced it out. This is based off the beginning of the game, which I find to be one of the most tragic parts of the game. Their lives are shattered forever.

Act I: Childhood.

Enter children. Two were born there. One came later on. All three wanted to leave.

“Where did you come from?”

“I don’t know.”

The oldest wanted answers. To know why he existed, and why he was where he was.

The other boy wanted to find the girl’s home.

What did the girl want?

“Let’s take the raft and go! Just the two of us!”

Did she want to find her home?

“Sora, don’t ever change.”

Then the door opened and everything changed.

“Riku!”

The curtain closed on one stage of their lives.

Exit children.

End Act I.

Thanks, it just came out of nowhere. I was kind of going for something 'different.' I'm glad you liked it!

I think the beginning is the most tragic part, too.

Well, most games like to start out on an unhappy note.

I really liked this. The 'enter children, exit children' is totally reminiscent of a play, same as the simplicity of it all. Very well done.

Thank you! I was definitely thinking about script writing while doing this.
