I love music. I collect it. My memories are melodies; playing by like little wisps of music riding the wind. The wind that, in turn, will take them nowhere. Books; their pages turn in the wake of the wind. Their stories taken into the throng of music, lifted and taken around the world, once, twice; their movements synchronized, until at last someone knows the stories they tell. Then, they resign to nowhere; their stories trailing behind them like the beautiful tails of comets in a night’s sky. The nowhere they go is eternal, and nearly no one knows it’s there. Princesses and knights seem to fight, and the world spins once more… the music still playing… Now a little girl, not so little anymore, with bright green, knowing, caring, and fierce eyes, climbs to the top of a mountain, and puts her hands to the wind, her hair swinging as a sudden air flows around her, and melodies, and stories, make the air thick with screams of fear, laughter, happiness, joy, sorrow, and lastly, music.

„The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?", she asked, the sound of her voice strained, as if she hadn't been talking for a long time. The boy sat next to her, staring forward into the leaving sun. He didn't even look at the young woman when she spoke. Yet still he could feel himself, only a small part of himself, longing to hear more of her voice. It used to calm him down, singing soft lullabies whenever nightmares haunted him, or telling stories to him and his brother. It was the only comfort he could rely on. And he ended it before it could poison him. Silence filled the vast empty space. Only a single Rowan tree swayed in the non existent wind, its branches reaching down where the two figures sat, sheltering them from any harm that may come their way. It was time to leave this place again. He couldn't stay here for long. He hugged his knees tight, unconsciously swaying back and forth as he did so. Maybe, if he hugged himself hard enough, he could stay here and listen to one of her stories again? Just one short story. His efforts were in vain. He realized that when his hands and feet started to disappear, just like they have done thousands of times before. There was no way things could continue the way they were now. He knew he had to stop, but a selfish part of him was still holding onto that hope that everything would be okay once he opened his eyes. „Auntie,", he said, preparing his next words. „I... really prefer sunrises." 0101011101101111011100100110110001100100011100000110110001100101011000010111001101100101011100110110000101110110011001010110110101100101
