Just another day of waiting.

I sit at the entrance of our tent, gazing out at the woods around us. It sure does the job, all right; not even the birds fly close enough for me to see them. There’s really no way someone will find us here.

How lonely.

It’d be easier to fall asleep. But I won’t. The world might come knocking on our door, one day, out of the blue. I want to be awake when that happens.

“Don’t answer anyone’s questions.”

I know, I know. You say that everytime. It’s like you’re expecting hordes to come charging in. Not even ants march through here.

I wonder when was the last time we went to the market. It was sunny, I think. But a little breezy. I saw a pretty dolphin made of gems and you bought it for me. I named him Siggy.

You laughed. “Even our eyes are the same color”.

That’s true. But I didn’t notice until you told me.

I wonder how Sieg would look in a dolphin costume.

I bet he’d wear one if I asked him to.

Siggy is shiny in the sun. He’s a dolphin that swims in the light. Those reflected chips of color bring the sea to my little corner of the world, help me think that maybe, the world isn’t so big after all.

I let Siggy play in the water. It’s getting pretty hot outside, so I decide to curl up in the far corner. The darker corner.

I thought I could sleep for a moment. But the world came knocking anyway.
