the world holds no room for child-like wonder; morbid be the boy whose eyes sought the nameless. vindicated by excuses, children were so inclined to vivid imaginations, pay no heed to the terror writhing at blackened peripherals. he understood silence, the necessity to hold one’s tongue, even as strident chatter rung in his ears, the grotesque creaking of a neck as it rotated to stare at him, unblinking. his stomach churned , hands clammy. he yearned to tow his mother’s skirt , seek haven in the familiar , he wondered what that reprieve was like. swatting hands, dismissive - tremoring. she raised her voice enough to drown them out until her rejection was the only sound. he sat , eyes affixed to translucent wings, in the light they shone prismatic. it was too large to be an insect , too other-wordly to herald from anything other than his imagination. the other children avoid him , laughter raucous , its wings echoing a soft hum as it takes off. a rock skitters to a halt in its shadow , retrieving him from the apparition’s thrall. he doesn’t know whose voice it is but one of them lurches forward , hands planted firmly on his hips ; calling him a weirdo, a freak. he wanders home that day, fingers wrapped firmly around his bag straps turning it over in his thoughts. a freak , was his mother right. his father was not inclined to hear of his drivel but did not don consternation in the furrow of his brow like his mother. he comes home late , the sky pitch black, even the stars withered in his wake. a man walks in behind him , an important person, the stark white of his clothes and kindness that creases his eyes says so. he says that this child will find salvation, his parents are relieved so it must be a good thing. others visit sometimes, often in the evenings and are met with profound gratitude , he had learnt to also be thankful even though he did not know why. he learns that reticence appeases them, that his uncanny descriptions are the reason he is disliked. he ruminates upon it , asking quietly why he is the only one who can see them. the neighbours have stopped coming over , he doesn’t inquire why but his mother’s face tightens around their ostracism. her words wane into cruelty, her patience a river - dried , earth worn down. his father says that they will be moving soon and that there will be no more of his absurd ramblings. he doesn’t look forward to it - but feels that he should. dark lashes flutter , beneath the shade of a tree he’s fallen into the past. it haunts him sometimes , a dull aching. part of him wants to return to his youth if only to tell the child that he is not alone. laughter passes the familiar , blithe grin of his classmate - satoru and somewhere , under the warmth of the afternoon sun, a translucent pair of wings flutter.
