A/N: Hey, I bet you're all wondering where I've been for the past week or so. Well, all I can say is that I've been working on this. It started out as a short story for an English assignment, but ended up as an actual book. A very short one, but a book nonetheless. It's got nine chapter, a prologue and an epilogue and I have everything written down, so all I have to do now is proof read and publish. I still haven't submitted it in class yet, so please review and comment on the story so that I can improve it. The actual book has drawings as well, and I may just post them as art once I'm done drawing them.
Just a little side note, this story is very, and I mean very, different from my other ones. It's a whole other genre. Just wanted to let you know.
See you at the end!
Prologue
(Or is it the Epilogue?)
I always used to gaze at the sky and look for four things, and four things only—the sun, the clouds, the moon and the stars. Everything else comes and goes; the airplanes, the satellites, the hot-air balloons (yes I have seen one in the air), even the birds—they're just renting space in the air; the sky belongs to the four things I mentioned above.
At least, that's what I used to think. Before I met them—those two adorable, beautiful, irritating, lovable kids—that's all I wanted to see too. But now, when I look at the sky, I look for them. And someday, I'm going to find them. No, they're not dead and in heaven, far from it. They're just…away, somewhere in the sky and at their home.
I'm not crazy if that's what you're thinking, I'm just…enlightened. Yeah, that's the word—I'm just enlightened.
To prove my non-craziness, I'm going to tell you everything; I doubt you'll believe me, because I know I wouldn't believe you if you told me the story. But I don't care; I know it's the truth and that's all that matters. If you believe me, you're going to be enlightened as well. If you don't, well, that's your loss, I guess.
It all started last Wednesday (it feels like so much time has passed, but it really hasn't), the day I went to the park to pick up Chelsea.
