Bedtime story:
don't you know the man on the moon?
written by yours truly.
"once upon a time, there was always a man on the moon. he follows those at night, though has to leave come the sun rising because the sun and moon got into a war.. " i began, looking to kei, smiling at the puppy as i began the story, their eyes wide and full of wonder, though they've heard the story many times before.
"the sun and moon were close brothers, but the sun was much older and took the place of the knight of day. while the moon was forced to be the knight of night. the moon didn't like his job as knight though. the moon yearned to see the children play, for there to be more happiness on his time of watch. but he also knew the rules. the sun had the right to be the knight of day. the moon soon grew jealous and greedy. the moon and sun fought in a war, the moon having an army of stars while the sun had to fight alone.
the fight went on long, and we call that time; the time when time stopped. there were no changes made in the world for years, though nobody but the sun and moon knew. soon enough, the universe came to visit them. she stopped their war from going further, but only for them to speak.
she forced them them stop enough for them to stop. "brother, why are we fighting?" the sun asked, and the moon was unable to answer. while fighting, his rage had burnt out, though his pride was too high to admit it. he didn't say anything, until that moment. "brother, i know. i.. i'm sorry." the moon couldn't let out his full apology, being cut off by the sun. "it's okay brother. i may not see you often, if not at all. i'm sorry i had to fight." the moon knelt down, surrendering to the sun, and soon turning to take his place as the knight of night.
the moon returned the warriors fighting alongside him to rest in the night sky forevermore, until their days end. the moon grew wise, never making the same mistake again, and now watches over those at night. he now does not need to see the children, so he is happy himself.
so that's the man on the moon."
i ended the story, and found that kei was struggling to keep himself awake. i ruffled his head lightly, and stood up from the bed to turn the light off, and when i turned around, he was already asleep. i went to bed soon after, lying back down in the bed he was already in, instinctively curling up against me. "goodnight, kei."
favorites: their favorite game is "that dragon, cancer." it's the most touching game they're ever seen and played. they hate how much they love it for being so touching, but love it for being such a realistic story lined up with the whole game itself. their mother struggled with cancer, so the game hit close to home with everything laced within it. their favorite color is tangerine, and their favorite food is strawberry shortcake. their favorite toy is a stuffed white bunny with red eyes, named ruby. their favorite song is aftershock by cash cash, and their favorite hobby is between reading novels with ruby or being playful with other long dogs.
