Hope Beacons (NaNoWrioMo 2015)

Chapter 1

The Light, it's there, well it's all around us. Even in the darkness of times it's there. During the moments when you feel alone it surrounds you. And through darkness tries to destroy the light, the light lives on.

This is what I learned when I was little. I learned that good and evil exist. And there are really bad things in the world but yet really good things in the world. And sometimes people feel alone but they are not. Because the light is always there.

Since well forever, okay I really don't know but people were both with ball of light. The ball of light would come out of nowhere when a baby was born. Yes, that's weird but well, it was a thing.

Everyone had a ball of light. It could be a different color or well, really I never saw different ones but they are real. You have the light with you and you can hide it or show it to the world. When you are really happy the light brighten. But when you are really sad. it dims. People don't often see it, unless you show them.

But when you die. The light becomes a candle, and sits on grave. It burns on until nobody remembers you than it stops with the light. It's spooky when you go to old cemetery.... when you see less lights burning and really sad at the same time. But this is story isn't about them.

This story is about the light went away. See all of my life I never really heard of it happening. Sure they were rumors if you get really sad it goes away. but light always came back. I didn't believe in these rumors. My light was there and sometimes I wish it wasn't there.... invisible or something. I mean it was great sometimes. But I didn't care for it much now.

Lately I felt alone. I guess it could be my fault. I don't really know. I never was a people person. I use to be happy and the light I carried with me was pretty bright but things happen.

Lucy sighed and stopped the video. She didn't get why she was doing this. She was making a video for no one. I mean nobody was going to see this anyways. So what was she going to do now? Put this on internet for world to see. Like they would care she thought sadly. Plus, this was the well she didn't know how many videos she made. But they were on her computer and luckily her parents didn't know

She pushed a blue striped piece of her hair out of her face. Her black hair was long enough to hide her face. She didn't want it just black so had some blue stripes. She liked it, it was different. She liked being different.

Okay here parents were not a fan of that of course but. she didn't care right now. She sighed and turned off her laptop. It was getting dark out. She got up and nibbled her lip and went to her bed that was against the wall. She laid down and nibbled her lip. Closing her eyes, she sighed as she tried to sleep. Of course that didn't work because lately at night her mind always seems to want to of million ideas at the moment. Which of course drove her insane.

Lucy open her eyes. The ceiling of her not so big room seem to flow with billion tiny stars. It wasn't a billion of course but her project with glow in the dark paint worked really well but better on ceiling across from where her bed was. She first looked to her left. Which was a blanket over her windows, it was one of old blue blankets that was comfy but she never really used. She moved the blanket sleepy and saw it was dark but still could see the sun in the distance through many houses. She closed the blanket and mumbled something moved her head to the right.

On the right pass the desk and TV was the other side of the room. Well she had nothing on that wall. It was painted black unlike the rest of the room which was blue. The wall had more stars unlike the ceiling. Lucy did this because she was bored one day. It looked really cool and she tried to use other colors but glow in the dark fit perfectly. But looked weird during the day.
