River World - a new story
River World -
Identifying the gate was easy, but I never thought she would want to find out what was on the other side. "You know," I said to her trying to sound calm, "these kinds of places are not always easy to return from. We can't be certain that the gate goes both ways. Even if we think we take as much preparation as possible, it could be the last thing we ever do." "We?" she asked me. "Well, yes," I answered. "I am not going to let my sister go alone." "You let our parents go, when I was too young to stop them myself." "I had to choose. I had to make a choice and I think it was the right one." "It maybe was, but all you really ever did was give me a reason to think that when I knew I was ready, I was going to go after them. You can come or you can stay, and even if I cannot come home again, it won't matter because I will know why they thought it was right to go." "Stupidity is inherited I suppose," I said as I raised the pack to my shoulder. Last edited by Terquem; 03-01-2021 at 11:00 AM. |
