South Park: One Shots

Gazing

Warning: Mentions of non canon dead character

The dark ink of the sky speckled with bright white lights covers the entire world, or so it seems. There are a few clouds that occasionally cover the pale moonlight emitted from the great orb.
I easily identify multiple constellations: the big dipper, aries, orions belt.
It's calming for me.
The familiar stars, the frequent moon and subsequent clouds. The black abyss that I gaze at so often.

It's days like this I remember my grandmother teaching me astronomy and short phrases in Spanish. One had always stuck with me, becoming a comforting mantra; 'nosotros pertenecemos a las estrellas' which roughly translated to 'we belong to the stars.'
Now I'm sure she meant it in a metaphysical sense but I tended to favour the logistics of this.

It's funny, is it not? All matter has been around since the dawn of time, never being destroyed or remade. It is all unchanged, simply in new forms. Never ceasing. Never leaving. Not truly.

To put it simply, we have existed as long as the stars and planets. It's why I'm so fascinated by space and the concept behind such things. It was such an otherworldly claim that if my grandma were still with us, she would call me a nerd only to hug me moments later.

You may know me as the unruly child who gets into fights and doesn't care. But that is the facade. That is the role I play. I am more than the apathetic entity you know.
I'm just like you. A multi faceted being who just wants to survive.

I miss her you know. She was an amazing woman. She taught me more than anyone could. My poor grandma. She taught me to be the person I am today. And I couldn't be more proud.

I think: if we were both still here, if I hadn't taken away my physical being and left everything behind in hopes of seeing her, you and I would be great friends.

Hey. What's happening? It's, it's the end of the story isn't it?
I don't want to go. You just got here.

No. Please. Don't do this, I don't want to go again.

It's going to end soon. Can't we be friends?

Please. Don't leave me alone again.
Don't let me be another constellation you'll forget.

Don't let me die.

I'm not done!

22:51

No! I don't want to die!

22:52 I wrote this pretty quickly,

Monster. How could you?

22:53 I wrote this pretty quickly, sorry it isn't much but I had a few minutes before my internet gets turned off.

Don't give up on me. I want to stay. I want to live. I'm sorry. I'm sorry Grandma. I'm sorry. I just wanted you back.

22:54 I wrote this pretty quickly, sorry it isn't much but I had a few minutes before my internet gets turned off. Hope you enjoyed regardless!

I'm sorry
