kh_drabbleWow, it's been another long stretch of time since I've entered a challenge, but here I am, giving it a shot.
*----*----*
Title: Hollow
Challenge: Forgotten
Word Count: 276
Notes for the Challenger: Instead of mentioning the theme in the drabble itself, I kind of made the drabble the theme. I hope that's okay.
*----*----*
I’m imagining a place with just you and me, and the bright blue sky stretching out before us. The sun is shining, and the clouds are floating about aimlessly, and our feet are kicking at the water happily.
There’s a feeling that this could go on forever, as your laughter echoes gaily around us, and I giggle, holding up my hands to ward off the splashing you’re creating. Your legs move quickly, sending the water up in waves, dousing me completely. I want to huff, but at the happy, peaceful look in your eyes, I know that I can’t be angry with you.
Because after all… when was the last time that I saw you like this…?
The dream crumbles around me, so that I’m left sitting with my face buried in my hands and my hair squeezed between my fingers. I hate feeling so helpless like this—but what can I do? This place is cold, and it’s dark, so unlike the hot sunshine that I remember, and the dazzling surface of the sea stretching out before us.
There are only pillars here, white marble, ominous as they stand high, connected to the dome-shaped ceiling overhead. The walls are the same white, the floor, the crystal carpet, the porcelain vases and their roses set on glass pedestals.
My face is wet with sudden, silent tears, rubbing against the palms of my hands, some dripping off my chin to splatter against my clothes.
I miss that place so much…
That place with you…
And I especially miss your sweet laughter…
It sounds much better than these hollow sobs of mine that echo around this lonely room.
