Horizon

Three

There was nothing Edora really liked about life. Of course there were things like watching movies, walking in a field or looking at the stars that were enjoyable, but nothing since her eighteen birthday really lighted her day-to-day. Being the mom she was, all her days were keeped for her son «Aeron». Work was nothing special and with the world around her evolving, it was like she was trapped in her old mind. Stuck in the old manners and old memories that haunted her every day.

Not able to coalesce with this new way of living. All this technology that destroyed their life step by step and bringed so much violence into her city she once knew as the most beautiful one on earth. Crowbreak was her hometown and during that time, she couldn't stop wondering what happened to it.  Such a joyful place where everyone knew each other but now with the new arrivals, you couldn't even tell who's your neighbor. Then it switched to a city and added to that, the biggest one on this planet. Bars, restaurants, buildings, clubs and malls were now everywhere. The thing is, although all these new things were built, most of the populations began to get poor. Leaving all the money to somes big businessman with money all over the ass.  Edora was never with a lot of money even without all those changes. Working as a farmer never brang a lot of money anyway but she had to admit the new conditions didn't  help. Everything just made her want her old life back. Being free. Being happy.  Not being alone like she is on her farm, raising a child. Wonderful child he is, but still... so exhausting. Aeron was then years old and such a smart kid for his age. Edora had always lived in the countryside of Crowbreak with her kid. Always alone with him, no father on the horizon. She was fine with it, after a while living like this, she just got habituated not having any help. Like literally. She lived really far from other houses and considering she was an only child and with no parents, it was just her and her child all day long.  So besides from the work on the farm, the only thing she was doing of her day was playing cars with her little sunlight. The only friend she had.

-What's going on mom?

said her son on a bright morning of July while Edora was lost in the landscape of the countryside.

-Nothing my love.

She then took a pencil situated on the table and started to draw a dinosaur on a little drawing paper.

-Waw! Mom, your drawing looks fantastic!

Aeron gently let her notify when she finished it.

-Thanks, let me see yours!

He is quite hesitant and a bit shy but with the insistence of his mom, he finally shows his. A beautiful view of the pacific ocean.

-Oh honey, this is delightful...She said right before scrubbing his hair all over the place to show her affection...-Do we have an artist in the family? Because right here is the most wonderful drawings I ever saw!

-Come down mom, it's not that good!

-Well for me it is and i'm going to sing it out loud!

Suddenly, she jumps out of her chair and screams at the top of her lungs...

-EVERYONE! Please do a drum roll for the painter of this decade... Aeron Tobin...

Aeron looks at his mother as she rushes to hug her son.

-I love you... you know that? Edora mentions while making a sandwich out of her little sunlight.
