[QUOTE="Tokiwong, post: 3082145, member: 961"] All this talk of Granny gives Thessaly a flash of memory from the funeral. [i][b]Flashback[/b][/i][b][/b] Thessaly is the last to leave the service. The pastor places a hand on Thessaly’s shoulder and offers her words of encouragement at the passing. He is gentle and soothing and then even he too leaves, leaving her as the last person to watch over Granny’s memorial. She does not even notice the rain. But she does notice when it stops raining. She looks over her to her right and sees a man standing there, unassuming and in his mid thirties. He is black, his hair worn short in a fade. His clothes are dark and conservative. He holds an umbrella in his hand, shielding Thessaly from the chilling rain. “Her passing has affected the best of us. She leaves a hole that few can fill,” he says in a deep soothing voice. He does not smile, but she gets the feeling that he is grieving as well. He continues speaking, “It is a strange fate that when we die the world continues on as if nothing has happened the only monuments to our lives are those that love us and linger behind in this fallen world.” “Your Grandmother was something of a legend,” he turns to Thessaly, “although we had our differences I always held her with great esteem and respect. She had a unique approach to understanding the Mysteries. This time of your life is one of great change, and you have my condolences. She lived the latter part of her life helping others along so that they could see, a tactic I do no always agree with, but one she excelled at quite well. Like I said before she was a legend,” the man replies coolly. The rain begins to dissipate. The man glances up, “This world is full of mystery Allison. I cannot say what your future holds but I do know that although it may seem that this world is asleep, perhaps even apathetic to the loss of your grandmother, we see the world for what it really is. It is uncaring, it is stifling, and a prison; in a way you can say that your grandmother escaped, perhaps even ascended to a higher realm of understanding. I would like to believe that she is watching over you even now.” He closes the umbrella. Thessaly smells the fresh rain air and turns to see the man already walking away. He waves as he leaves towards a modest dark sedan. He opens the door and turns to Thessaly, “Have a good day, and you have my condolences for your loss; you will see her again I am sure.” [i][b]End Flashback[/b][/i][b][/b] It finally hits Thessaly now, she does not even know who this man is, or even more disturbing how he knew her name. [i][color=red]I hope you don’t mind me adding some details to the funeral for Thessaly…[/color][/i][color=red][/color] [/QUOTE]
