who: open !
what: lucas... are you ok...
where: outside of audrina’s orchard maze
he was gone. and life still moved on.
the cycle of life and death was just the way the world worked, lucas knew that. but a middle-aged man in a hospital bed, while tragic, was still far removed from a kid with a knife in his abdomen.
if it weren’t for his mother and daiyu - ‘day’ - he would wonder what there was ( who there was ) to go on for.
but the story went as it always did: the story kept moving. the story went on. so time went on. so the town went on. so he went on -- slowly, a slug’s pace, but... he was there, wasn’t he ? and that was one small victory in a pool of ‘what ifs’ and a side of ‘why this.’
standing at the edge of the maze, he nodded to it and mused aloud, “ someone could totally go, like... that movie with johnny ? ” the shining, lucas. the shining. and it’s jack. “ eh -- anyways, someone could totally just, like... i don’t know, kill those guides and, like, it’d be too easy to get away with. ”
